Looking for a does-it-all Music Player

ARRGGHHH! I'm getting so frustrated!!! I've tried almost every player on the market, and EVERY music player app that I've tried has something wrong with it! And if it's a good one, then you gotta pay for it. Basically, I'm looking for a music player that:
-has a "genre" tab
-can edit tags
-can easily delete songs without having to fish through lists
-(preferably) will crossfade between songs
-has an eq-10 track would be better, but 5 track is okay with me
-can download album artwork
-is FREE!

Is that too much to ask?
Again, I've tried almost all of them and they all fall short one way or another. Any suggestions? I liked the Apollo player from CM10, but didn't like that you can't delete songs! >: [ I'm prolly gonna just settle for either cloudskipper, jet audio, or meridian player (all of which are missing one or more of the above features). Rocketplayer's delete option is waaaay to goddamn annoying for me. TTpod doesn't have good album art (and you can't direct the program as to which file to find it in) and no crossfade. Mixzing is annoying with the constant playlists it auto-creates. There are a lot of others that I tried that are not worth mentioning because they either suck or are way too limited in options. I'm open to any leads.

Trust me, I used google to death (how do you think I found apollo?) Tried winamp was too convoluted for me, and I know how to use torrents I just don't prefer them cuz they're too time/data consuming, thankyou.
 
Winamp is the most straight forward mp3 player there is on the desktop and they brought that to Android .I use win amp pro so i have the eq(10 band)
 
There's a beta for vlc player. Is not bad at all. Live it for PC and im not disappointed with the beta at all. But i don't think it had a equalizer. Haven't messed with it too much
 
I'm primarily a Google Music and Pandora user, both (obviously) streamers. What I'd really like to do is to be able to use PowerAmp or Winamp and be able to stream my music library off of my home network via wifi when I'm at home. If I could stream it via wifi/4G when away from home, that would be great as well, but again, the caveat would be being able to use the music player app of my choice.

Anyone know if there's a way to do this?
 
A local player would really be ideal, because when I'm underground on the subway there's no signal to stream anything. I prolly do like 50% of my listening then.
 
Yeah, I was really looking for something free, but tried the trials of all the paid music apps and decided to bight the bullet and spend $$ on player pro. It pretty much has everything that I'm looking for. It was a toss up with power amp, but I liked the art feature in player pro so I went with it. Very happy with my music these days!
 
So I downloaded player pro and I love it.
This morning I downloaded the dsp pack and messed with the settings and BAM! Headphones volume so much higher.
I also have volume+ must be a good combination
 
Will any of them pick up where they left off if you turn them off?
I listen to Old Time Radio a lot when I walk and if I get home in the middle of a 30 minute show I want to start there when I go out again.
I finally found a player that did that just before getting a cell phone...

Player pro does. I'm pretty.
I haven't finish "testing" it but so far it does do that
 
Glad you guys got what you want but win amp pro is beast. 10 band eq shout cast, custome everything, plus you got lyrics and album art as well, whatever your player don't do win amp does do
 
Download cm 10, extract and install music player using the system loading method. Sideloading wont work because of it being a system app. :3 I was gonna say apollo, but it has this nasty glitch of copying music files in the library on our phone.

Update.
The standard player that comes with the Motion does this.

I'm not sure where I messed up when I first tried it, but pausing it works fine.
The player seems to pause with any audio event as I tried it with the count down timer and it stopped until I turned the timer off.
