App for the mp3

[osutuffy]

I'm not sure if anyone else finds the stock radio app hard to use or if it' just me. I don't understand some of the icons and what they mean...the shuffle icon I get, the icon that has the arrows forming a circle around various characters (a, a with a line through it, etc) I don't get.

But the above is minor in comparison to my biggest complaint. I have found that if I have shuffle on and listen to songs, if I stop the music player and then start it again, it plays those same songs in the same order. Whether I skipped them or not. Shuffle, really should shuffle, not shuffle in the same order. This is a pain as I will sometimes listen for an hour, take a break, and then go back to listen. I have a fast paced job and I can't spend 10 minutes skipping through songs I have already listened to and don't want to hear again. This may seem trivial, but picture this, you listen to 10 songs on your play list, later you go to shuffle again and it's the same 10 songs, tomorrow the same 10 songs, and every day after that, the same 10 songs. To make matters worse, it also does the same artists over and over. Say I skip the 10 songs to hear new music, it's music by those same 10 artist I just heard from. Ugh.

So is there a better radio app that works with this phone and shuffling?

You mean "radio" app? or Music app?

For listening to MP3 locally on the phone, I've found WinAMP and PowerAmp to both be great apps. The first is free, the second is not.

Player Pro easy and great looking, tons of extra features, lyrics, cover art, great widgets, not free but worth it, I must have tried 10 or more players before finally deciding this one was worth the 4.99.
