Best Music/Media Player App

I recently installed Meridian Player pro. Works ok for most stuff, but I am having trouble with the audiobook tab.

I have the tab and creaded an audiobooks folder with the books in subfolders, but it won't read the files. I get a media not found error. Meridian will find the book titles. I have tried .mp3 and .m4a and same results for both.

Anyone else with Meridian have this problem? It would be 5 star app if I could get this piece working.
 
I think I figured it out. I removed the AudioBook Folder I created and let Meridian create it. Then I moved my "book" folders over. It is working correctly now. Great Player.
 
Does the Hero have a different stock player than the other phones? I keep seeing complaints about not being able to browse by genre in the stock player, but I can do that in the stock player on my Hero....
 
Quick question about Meridian and audiobooks. A couple of features I find essential in audiobook players is being able to quickly go back about 10-15 seconds in the playback at teh tap of a button. Will it do that?

Also, will it automatically skip back a bit after returning from a phone call?

(The last assume it pauses for phone calls...)

Thanks!
 
I paid for Act1, does what its supposed to do. I put videos in doubletwist and they come out the other end 100% working (including x264 muxed in mkv containers).

Probably is a free app out there thats just as good but I tried a couple they sucked, got lazy. These easy click to buy online market portals are incredible money sinks lol (app store, itunes store etc.)
 
hi guys...

newbie to android with my LG GW620.... my first forray into smartphones

anyone know of a media player that will play AVI.... or is this something i shouldnt be trying to do on a phone
 
I would also suggest checking out Zimly media player. I won't pass judgement on the player (because I am one of the devs working on it). But I will say this... Zimly might not be the best player... yet. But we can be, and we want to be. Plus the developers are nice :) and we work our asses off trying to make Zimly better.

As for other players... I have tried most of the other players including Cubed, Rockon, Mixzing, Tunewiki, Meridian. Hell that was the reason I wanted to build Zimly in the first place... the only one I would recommend from that list is Tunewiki. Cubed has an interesting interface... but its not very functional... it's like trying to browse your music using only Coverflow (on iTunes... looks nice but not very convenient).

Anyway... check out the others... and of course check out Zimly. Zimly is free so you don't lose anything by downloading it. And leave feedback please. It is the only way we can make it better.
 
Hi,

I got a new XPeria X10i phone, i need to get a DVD video player which will support the Android os/ that's what is on my phone, please some one help me to get the best dvd player for my Xperia X10i phone !!!
 
I also like to know which all application type did the XPeria X10i supports !!! and where can i find the supporting applications.... please help with request!!
 
def check out Tunewiki guys, that's the only media player that has ever impressed me. The scrolling lyrics and album cover fetch actually works!

Gogogo!
 
I wanted to make sure everyone knew of this cool feature of Meridian.

On my iPhone I used PlaySafe. It was a program that loaded my tunes up and had only one function: You swipe the screen left and right to advance tracks. I connect my phone to my car's audio system so I can listen to far more music, and I didn't have to hunt for the next button and concentrate on driving.

If you enable gestures in Meridian you can swipe down on the artwork to advance and swipe up to go to the previous track. This is quite nice as I can now have music playing on my phone and Waze navigation running at the same time without being a distracted driver.
 
"So far I used the "Video Player 0.1" together with the android converter. No problems at all."

Is the Android Converter compatible with the HTC Incredible? I didn't see it on the drop-down list in the program.

I could look past it's UI if it worked, but it just lags then freezes up.
Anybody knows of a player that plays divx/xvid and does not lagg?
Yxflash is almost there, but not quite...
 
I'm looking for a media player with an equalizer for my mp3's. Have tried Astro Player Beta but can't say I'm overly impressed with the sound with or without the equalizer.

Any other player you guys would recommend from experience for my X10.

Outside of Astro Player I have not been able to find a player with an equalizer yet. And I'm with you... not too impressed with the quality.

Just FYI, we just began development on an equalizer for Zimly but at this point its not looking like an easy project because there doesn't seem to be any APIs to adjust the levels so we are building something from scratch. Will keep you posted on the progress if you are interested.

Sounds interesting. Have tried searching for it on marketplace and by using the barcode scanner on your website but it can't be found.

Can you help, and yes please keep me posted on the progress as us android users need a good music player with equalizer :D
 
Has anyone made a video player which supports more than just mp4, mpeg and 3gp yet? I want to be able to play avi and flv files too...
 
I purchased ACT 1 player. It has the simple features to getting your movies or videos playing just the way you want them to. Overall it does the job.

Dear drebabels,

Thank you for your hard work. I'm very excited to see another promising media player and a developer like you who's open for feedback.
I left feedback, and would urge everybody to review my suggestions and vote for them.
