Best music app for FLAC over BT that can shuffle albums? - Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods

I'm looking for something that shuffles by albums and preferably has a 5x1 widget for 7.1.1.
I have been out of the loop for music players for quite some time and I have been using Rocket Player for the last 4 years. I am looking to upgrade to something that might be a bit better.
Apps I've checked out:
Player Pro
Rocket Player
PowerAmp

I've been a huge fan of GoneMAD music player. It plays flac, shuffles (not sure if by album), and has a 4x1 widget. It is paid but there's a trial version you can try.

It's expensive and I'm looking for more apps to check out so I can pick the lightest one to save power.

Shuttle is pretty sweet. I've used it for over a year now. The free version is great, but I liked it so much that I threw the dev some money for the Shuttle+ version or whatever.

Yeah I've been liking Shuttle++ quite a bit although I would like if they changed the pixelated looking status bar icon and made the play controls for the notification nicer like Sony music. The widget options are the most extensive I've found though. Artist artwork came through much easier than Sony Music too.

Best Player overall is Black Player (EX)
Most customizable, and feature rich music player.
In my opinion, its well made and looks damn awesome.

The other thing Black Player EX does that I like is editing is really user friendly. some of my MP3s don't have the artists name show up and I can make that happen with Black Player EX. Player Pro allows that as well but not as user friendly.

You might ask the guys over in the billion post Android DAC thread at Head-Fi.
If anyone knows a good player, I'm sure it's them.

edit: wow, 8639 posts as of today. Not quite a billion but it'll get there someday.

After reading this yesterday, I did a little comparison last night. Used Freebird for guitar run, Stevie Nicks for voice, and full song of Jessica by the Brothers. Compared paid versions of Poweramp, Black player EX, and Player pro with DSP pack. They are so similar it's hard to pick except Poweramp has the least distortion at high pre-amp settings on high frequency sounds. So below is my ranking (just my personal opinion):
1. Poweramp
2. Blackplayer EX
3. Player Pro with DSP pack

The best music app?

I'm looking for the best music app in terms of functions, GUI, and lock screen support for ASOP.
So far, I think winamp is good but its gui is ugly as hell.
Miui is beautiful but laggy and no lock screen support and no eq.
Poweramp is a memory hog.
What's your cent?
Sent from my GT-I9000
I've tried Mixzing, Power amp, Miui, Lithium & a few othes, while they are good music apps none of them was what I was really looking for.
So for me it's 3 cubed, superb UI, album art grabber, lockscreen & the lack of an eq doesn't matter as the SGS sounds great with mixget and quality set of headphones.
Yeah, MIUI is beautiful but... no lockscreen...
I use : http://www.appbrain.com/app/music-mod-(froyo-only)/com.piratemedia.musicmod
Lockscreen : http://www.appbrain.com/app/music-mod-lock-screen/com.omeudroid.musicmodlockscreen
winamp is okay.
PowerAmp is the one, works perfectly on SGS, amazing UI, album art grabber, plus a very well done equalizer.
I never had any problems with it being a memory hog.

I will try the PowerAmp. Now I use 3D Cube, but there´s no equalizer. On some tracks i´ll miss it.

Second this!
Poweramp + sgs = love.
Poweramp <3
hmm i wonder why the SGS stock player ain't getting any love here... Imo its the best music player out there made for andriod. Wide codec support, excellent hardware eq with optional sound enhancements, colourful UI and fantastic yet simple lock screen controls. Perhaps I think performance and compatability issues in the earlier firmwares + the bad reputation of touchwiz might be the reason why its not well recieved but I feel that the player has improved in terms of performance and stabilty to very usable levels in the recent firmwares(esp the 2.2.1 firmwares). Thus for me personally the SGS music player is a winner in most if not all aspects and will be my sole music player app for some time to come...

Agreed. Stock player is great. The lock screen controls are only available if you use the stock glass lockscreen so some people wont get them.
I like using it with the "wide" effect.

Stock SGS Music Player is very decent.
Stock Music player is great but in my opinion poweramp is better mainly because you can select the music folder

Sgs music player has music folder selection. Look in options. I wish it had album cover search and aosp lock screen

Dunno your's but in mine options there are "equalization, effects, music menu, visaulization" and nothing else
SGS Stock Music Player
I second MiG123....I have tried nearly all music players available in the market for SGS, but end up reverting to stock music player. However I recently used ipod's headphones and wao...huge a difference in the sound quality. The standard head phones with SGS are crap...try the ipod ones and you will hear the difference. I also used Audioboost2 etc.
MixZing Pro version. Hands down.
Like the stock one but bothers me alot that with the phones it only allow you to pause the music, not going to the next or the previous like in btunes.

Best choice for sound quality ......it remenbers the equaliser settings for a song or album. and with my transparant skin the widget looks great too
I use this player 8 hours a day with my sennheiser PX 210 BT
Imma let you finish, but I've still gotta say that PowerAMP is definitely the most kickass player of all time... of all time!

[Q] What is your favorite music player?

I'm using Poweramp and it's the best one.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
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 music player do you use?

hi all!
just wondering what music player do you use?
stock?
poweramp?
mixzing?
some apk file ?
i personally use walkman player and it's pretty good ( the ui is gorgeous but lacks functionality though )
so what do you use?
btw how do you get miui apk file? i googled it but theres so many links ...
Definitely try out player pro. Beautiful UI and very fluid.

But it would be great if it can select specific folder like power amp.

Noozy.

Can anyone link me to walkman player? Sounds interesting and I can't find it in the Play Store =S
power amp pro
Noozy .. a little unreliable but the sound is worth it.
I love the sound of noozy, but its so damn finicky n unreliable that it is almost unusable. Almost. Like I m 99.5% decided to switch back to poweramp. But then I listen to it, n sighhhhh......cant do it. Y noozy Y?
ZPlayer - it's just sexy. The text only styling of Zune on the homescreen with a faded background artist. Built-in equalizer, bass booster, and virtualizer. Do you like the bass up when listening to BassNectar or Cookie Monsta but don't want as much bass when listening to your acoustic album? ZPlayer has you covered! If toggled, it can select and equalizer type based on the genre of song you pick. It will import your playlists, has an album art downloader, bio for your artists, and gives a list of similar artists. Several widgets are also available. You like podcasts? ZPlayer has that covered too. It plays videos. It has Last.FM settings. It even has lockscreen controls. Give it a try.
noozy, met this week to update my radio, since I'm using and enjoying it more and more.
I didn't see "Noozy" on the Play Store. Link anyone?
I use google music with the beats/dsp and love the sound :]

It got removed for copying Zplayer, you may be able to find the apk with a google search.
Mixzing Media Player Upgraded.
Def the best music player I've used.
The features that make me love it are..
Has automatic album cover downloads
Lyrics
Lockscreen player (which works with stock CM10 and with the rom I'm currently using; check sig)
beautiful simple widget selections:
1x1 no album art
2x2 with album art
3x3 with album art
4x1 no album art
4x2 with album art
4x4 with album art
I've used others but this is the one I have used since my Nexus One.
There are other apps that support Mixzing (as well as other music players) that you can shake to change songs, etc

Music app?

What music app are you guys gals using to listen to your downloaded songs?
I'm trying most of the ones on XDA Android apps forums, Pulsar, wave, minmia.
VLC isn't working right, lagging hugely and redrawing incorrectly.
No winamp for Android?

Try Black player. I was big on Shuttle as it's a quality app with material design but Black player just does it all well and has its own style which I like.

Thank you for your suggestion, works very well, and it has the "delete" song from library option, double tap for favorite is nice.
There actually used to be a WinAmp for Android. It was nothing like the Windows app. But anyways, I've used every music player out there and there is only 1 that does everything I want it to. PowerAmp. It's only a couple of dollars for the full version but to me, it's totality worth it.

Before I used spotify and Google music I used PowerAmp as well. I'm pretty sure you can even use the Google music app for local music.
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
I am using the Sony one (Music was walkman), IMO one of the better, has a nice interface
I have been using Poweramp full version for years. The sound quality is superior when compared to Google Play Music. I have to use Play Music for my subscription but I use Poweramp for my side-loaded and purchased music.
Loaded Poweramp again, the delete function is too embedded.. is there a setting to make it more tap and hold to delete?
And what are the odds this would happen?!
OK has anyone else used pi music player? How can I set Poweramp to play songs as detailed and clear?
Esira with viper4android and dolby all the way !!!!

Can anyone suggest a music player that's used for music on the phone- no cloud wanted

Still using the P2 Xl, but I don't want Google Play Music. I want a player that only plays files I loaded into the phone. I know Google Play music does that but I don't want any "services".
Thanks
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=code.name.monkey.retromusic
Works well for me.
Thanks, I also saw one called Black Player that's been getting good reviews
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.
Close 2nd for me would be : Player Pro - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tbig.playerpro
Another neat one, but kinda cluttered is N7 Player - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.n7mobile.nplayer
Hope you find what works for you. Everyone tends to lean toward the cloud services, I still like loading my own music on my phone as well
I'm a fan of Shuttle. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=another.music.player
Power amp is my Fave , plays flac files also , Highly recommend it :good:
Pulsar is my favorite player
PowerAMP, been using it for years.
Also shuttle. It's free software as well
Look, get Poweramp and enjoy forever. There is no comparison. I've been using it for more than 8 years maybe. Tried other players only a first few years, then I stopped venturing out.
I like using Eleven music player https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-lineageoss-music-player-arm64-t3784730

Neutron. The gui might need a material redesign but the app itself is great for sound quality.

blackplayer ex
I've tried and tested them all as i got over poweramp after many years with it . In the end, poweramp owns.
And its latest beta update is even better than ever!
Musicolet is my second favourite , but in the end poweramp just has everything you need.
