I'm using Poweramp and it's the best one.

I'm torn at the moment. At first I really liked Poweramp, mostly because the ability the boost the preamp helped with the low volume problems I was having when listening to it in my car. However, after purchasing Volume+ I found that I no longer need that boost.
Zimly by far has my favorite UI, but I've been getting a lot of crashes on it. I'm also considering bTunes, as the part I miss the most about my iPhone is the media player. I'd be curious to hear if anyone considers that a favorite
I also love Poweramp really much.
Bought it.
It plays my music collection at home, has a great equalizer, and now even supports Beats audio - whaddya want more?
Lol, it supports now beats?!?!?! I used to have it, but then I removed just because of the beats. Stock is good, though.
I use winamp because I'm old school I can't say it's especially different to any of the other players I've used but I stick with it anyway.
For audiobooks I use Mort Player Audiobook, now that is a very impressive app! Pity it looks so ugly but I'm sure it will improve.
I've been using PlayerPro for a while now and really like it.
I have been using Winamp since its release. So far it is a good and simple player. Besides I'm using the desktop Winamp player, which enables me to sync my music via the app wireless.
PlayerPro, because I can browse my music by folders.
I've been using Poweramp for a while and I love it! Its flawless!
Google Music. And I also using unlimited data plan
I'm using stock music app, it's good enough for me

I can't get it to download album artwork, even though the stock music app has done this and it shows in the stock app... Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong with Power amp?
Stock Player and Google Musik is good for me
Stock HTC Music player, because it is the only player that support special audio effect
I don't listen to music so much on the phone. (All the time on the PC!)
However, there are a few listed media apps here in case it helps anyone.

I am using it too, for me it is the best player ever D
Im using the HTC Player too. But thers one thing, I'm not happy about. Where is the "Coverflow". It was included in older Version. Is this function deleted or am I stupid?
For me, the best one is 3 (Cube):

stock sense 3.0 music player for me. every music player ive used had a problem for me; always automatically playing,skipping, and pausing, when a headphone is jacked in. i uninstalled all other music apps. i only have stock player now. stock palyer aint so bad, the quality of the sound is almost the same as from other music apps.

What do most of you guys use in your vehicles for audio player from EVO phone? Ive tested winamp, poweramp, & currently the music player from CM7 stock. BTW what music player is used in the latest CM7 mod, when I had destroyer v2 it wasnt used there? I really like how it sets up all your folders & you can go thru each one. Poweramp has an EQ which people rant n rave about but it seems like the EQ gives an exaggerated sound when used in a vehicle with speakers...Opinions?
i'm using miui music player. you need to manually sign the apk and everythign to get it to install, but it's worth it. i can shoot you a copy if you want. i love the lyrics support and automatic album cover downloads, the app is just plain awesome.
Do you have any pix or videos of it in action? Dont care for the album art really jus that I can go into seperate folders with music.
here's the app itself. signed, so just install from adb or through a file browser.

I haven't found a music app yet that can compete with an iPod's. Sadly, I hate everything Steve Jobs' name is attached to but their music app far surpasses ours. If I find/make one you can bet your ass I'll be posting it here lol.
For now, I use MIUI (what dkdude uses) when I have music on my phone and otherwise I just use my Zune HD.
+1 Sucks, but true.
PowerAmp
I use Power Amp. It is my favorite!
It's available on the market.
If you like the CM music app, try "Music Mod". It's free in the market, and also the app CM chose for their roms.
EDIT: I'm currently using the MIUI music app as well because I'm on MIUI... plus it's really good. In the past I've used Player Pro, it's really nice. They've recently added an equalizer, which isn't a big deal to me, but is for some. Mixzing is another decent one.
I use the stock Sense music player. Works just fine.
I use poweramp, it was actually the second app I paid for (first was metamorph). I just make sure to turn on the large lockscreen widget.
I have it piped in through the AUX port on my head unit. As far as the EQ and sound and all that, I just set up custom EQ settings (on the head unit itself) for my AUX input mode and everything sounds great.
I especially love how it starts playing automatically when I plug in the headphone jack, and stops playing automatically when I take it off.
the newest MIUI music is really great. Not sure if dkdude has a working versions of it though. Settings always causes a force close. i dont care much for the apple music. Took all my music off my ipad, which is a paperweight anyway
Dont you guys who use poweramp find the EQ sound to be exaggerated? Everytime Ive used it in my car and put on the EQ the SQ doesnt sound natural it sounds exaggerated & not right...Also if I were to get mp3s with 320kb would it sound as good as using an original CD or thats just not possible?
I'm a big fan of Cubed. I've used just about every free music player in the market, and IMO, nothing comes close.
ive used poweramp, cube, doubletwist, stock sense, stock gingerbread, but now i switched over to using MixZing, its my fav so far, its free, has an equilizer, automatically downloads album art and updates the tags, give u a folder search. its good stuff!!
I totally feel you on PowerAmp. IMO it does exaggerage the range by the EQ; in most cases I just turned it off. I did dig the interface for a bit but it was hard to use one-handed for me. Also, it was a bit unintuitive.
I'm using the stock player in CM7/Gingerbread and I'm perfectly happy with it. Simplicity trumps most things for me. When I run Sense, I just use the Sense player.

I don't bother with the EQ in PowerAmp, but I've always felt it was kinda annoying to mess with software EQs, especially on a touchscreen. I just adjust settings as needed on the head unit itself, and that works great.
As to your second question, that's something that's been debated in audiophile circles for a long time. With a car stereo, you might notice a slight improvement with FLAC/CD over mp3, but it will be only in the highest of the high frequencies and honestly you'd have to be actively paying attention. And that's assuming that your audio equipment is even of a high enough fidelity in the first place. Road noise while driving won't be doing you any favours either.
In short: don't worry about it, 320kbps mp3 is more than fine and will sound just like the CD for all intents and purposes.

What is your opinion? I have tried Google Play Music, TTPod, PowerAmp, CloudSkipper and that leftover player from Gingerbread that nobody wants
Currently deciding between TTPod and PowerAmp. The former would be the winner if it didn't have so much freaking chinese all over it.
What do you guys use?
Miui Music is my favourite.U should try it
Poweramp FTW

Well I personally like the gingerbread music player over the ICS stock music player, which is what I use (and I hate it), so I'm interested in using a different player and I can't wait to see what comes out of this post in the next few days. I usually just use Pandora when I'm at home simply because almost all the songs that play are songs that I already have on my phone, with the ugly UI for the stock ICS player.
Google Play Music here. It's very fast and smooth for me, even with 29GB of music.

Google Play Music here as well. With my music uploaded to Google Music, I don't have anything on my card anymore.
PowerAMP. The equalizer on it is excellent.
I was always under the impression that between the hardware & software of our smartphones, software equalizers are a mediocre solution at best. You can't really polish a piece of **** yanno.. maybe I just use ****ty headphones (I do) and listen to trashy music (I do), but I never had to really fine tune music coming from my phone's headphones.

Poweramp by far...however, if Google Music adds EQ and more list options like View by Folders, then I'm all in.
If you like the iPhone or iPod touch music player, you might like RealPlayer. It is not as feature rich as other players, but it's still pretty cool. Just try to forget the evil RealPlayer from the 90s.

I tried a lot of them and I got stuck with PowerAmp like many others here. The paid version is near perfect. If it has to be free I find the stock player not too bad.
Mike
I tried poweramp but I dont like how its constantly running in the background even after you close it. I didnt see a setting to disallow this.
So far Im just using the MIUI player but its a bit barebones as far as features go
Rocket Player is my fav.. has a super EQ!
Apollo if you want the apk PM me
I have tried quite a few music player and settled on Poweramp. I found once tweaked you can get good sound out of it. It is as flashy showing album art as other players. You can customize the sound to your like globally, album or track. You can have separate presets for speakers, headset and blue tooth. To the post above there is a setting not to run in background. There are a lot of settings, once tweaked it has great sound. I ended buying the pro version. My daughter loves it too. Also it will set variables in Tasker.
Everyone has their own taste and needs.

I'm currently using the JellyBean version of Google Music on my phone (he upgraded the google music player from ICS to JB in the rom I use). I like it so far, I mainly don't use other music players typically because I do not store most of my music on the phone itself.

Know what would be nice... a 3rd party player capable of connecting to your Google Play Music cloud
Hi, I really want to download a new music player, because to be honest, I'm getting seriously bored of all the HTC Stock stuff.
Chrome has replaced my browser (Thankgod for Chrome!)
But I cannot find a sufficiant music player, I had heard of Double Twist, but when I downloaded and used it, it pretty much halved the loudness of my music, which defeats the point of 1 - Beats audio technology, and 2 - Using my Beats headphones.
Why is it that using a different music player made my music so quiet?
Is there an alternative?
Can you make double twist louder?
I CHOSE DOUBLETWIST AS THEY OFFER ALBUM ART AND LYRICS !!
Thanks !

You can also use poweramp, n7 or neutron music player... they are good and especially neutron player has lots of options while n7 player ha very good ui
u can download albums in both
I agree that with the free version of DoubleTwist, the music isn't very loud and pretty flat ( I have beats earphones as well).
But once I upgraded it to the next level (the one that provides just the equalizer) and enabled the equalizer, music was much better.
Combine that with Xtreme sound enhancer mod, and it's a killer music player.
I also like PowerAmp, but I've always preferred DoubleTwist's sound quality over it.
I decided to play with the RealPlayer beta, and have actually found it pretty nice.
I also use google music to stream my music. I dont like that app much but it saves memory

Thanks!
Seriously, it sounds awesome with Perseus audio tweaks and a little bit of tweaking within the player itself. I'm not a big fan of the UI, but it honestly just works.
The only reason I'm switching over is because PlayerPro's EQ and DSP pack were giving me issues. The "bass" knob was going...backwards.
PowerAmp is hideous IMO, but sounds good. Neutron isn't really user friendly, but it sounds epic.
Walkman is nice, but Ac!d audio along with it gave me FC's in Sound Enhancement. (Anyone know how to fix this?)
Anyway,
Perseus headphone amplification up to 63, a u-shaped EQ with +2 and -2 being the limits, negative gain on 1, stereo expansion on 6.
Mild bass/clarity adjustments in the music player, +1 on 3D, +1 on room size.
What can I say, I'm happy. My ATH-M50's suddenly have a new life.
I may flash Ac!d universal again and see how it sounds. I do feel like I can get a bit more sub-bass out of these cans.
Thoughts?
I love the stock music player. The only reason why I'm using poweramp (I like its asthetics fyi but let's ignore that for this discussion) is because of the ability to choose the folders that I want. With the stock music player, it pulls music from my dropbox and also voice recordings. With poweramp, I can prevent that which is better for me. I would use the stock music player otherwise. It also helps when I won a license key from poweramp a while back.

Since you guys seem to love it, and more to the point, use the stock player, I have a simple question.
When you open the player, say from the widget, how do you get back to a menu where you can open/switch-to a new playlist.
So far I only found that possibility when I open the app using the standard icon.
That annoyance has driven me to use apollo pro (a beefed up version of the player on CM9+ firmwares).
I have one major problem with the stock player (though it's really the os default behavior). I have a lot of music on my 64gb sd card (50gb?) and when I open the stock player it freezes while it rescans it all (about a min) - same on closing the player - very annoying. It does it every time so I use Player Pro which opens instantly for music and just use the stock player for podcasts. The other plus for me is Player Pro shows the album art on the lockscreen. I have no issues with the audio quality of either, though I also like and use the controls in Perseus stweaks.

This. The stock music player will happily play every media file on the damn phone, not just my music.
I haven't used a SINGLE stock music player in Android ever due to this issue.
I'm a playlist user. I use iSyncr for mac to get all my music on there, it all shows up fine.
I can agree about folders though. I have used them from time to time, PowerAmp did that job pretty well.
Cant u choose wich folder to play on stock player too? I like the stock player as well.

I still haven't found a third party music app better than PlayerPro. Stock music player is actually quite good (probably the best stock player I've used) but I can't customize it in the same way I can with PlayerPro. And when you combine PlayerPro with the "Equalizer" app (paid version), it's a wrap!
No one likes winamp? I've been using it on pc since I was a kid and the app seems good. Shoutcast radio is also a plus.

Ahh! That's why it was choking and scanning forever - I have no playlists and the music player interface always opened where I left it - on the Songs page/tab. If I leave the interface showing the Playlist tab, it opens without a lag! Now to add a playlist...
Ugh. Using the app to add the playlist is problematic, no impossible. I can choose individual songs to add to the playlist, but as soon as I choose "Select All" it freezes (and never completes the task). Then I tried to make the playlist with various apps but I couldn't get any to make a playlist of all songs given my directory structure (All Music > Genre > Artist > CD). Hmm... What should I call it - suboptimal? ...I finally did make a playlist with my PC version of Winamp (mounting the phone with SGS3 Easy UMS), but I'll probably keep using the Player Pro.
Thank you for that comment though as it explained my problem and gave a workaround (make a playlist with an external app), but I think I have to stick with the opinion that the stock player is poorly made... Though perhaps it would be more correct to say that the Android media scanning default behavior is just crazy bad and needs to be changed - then all the stock music apps would probably work fine. The Gallery app by the way suffers from similar problems for the same reason...
How do you get it to pull from dropbox?

Pulsar is by far my favourite
Poweramp
For my needs, I use Vanilla Music player. It's basic and a light footprint.
Highly recommend poweramp
Poweramp all the way! - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xsoftstudio.musicplayer.pro
Been using it for years and never disappointed, especially with the new GUI changes they've rolled out.

Another neat one, but kinda cluttered is N7 Player - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.n7mobile.nplayer
