i'm using pocket player . it works great
and i'm using it with jabra stereo blutooth headset.
TF3D music player
I've been using the TF3D music player on my tp2 for about a month now and it seems to be doing all that i need from it.
Simple to use and good quality output as well. Can't say much about other music players as I haven't used any recently.
in order to get as much music on my phone as possible i am using aac compressed audio (with SBR). This format provides 128kbit/s-mp3-quality at 48kbit/s (at least to my ears).
The only players that i know supporting this format are WMP and TCPMP. As TCPMP does software decoding the device gets slow during playback. WMP seems to have something like hardware acceleration for aac. therefore i am using WMP (with another skin as the default one is not very finger friendly).
thanks yeah i like the TF3D default myself too Nitrogen is good but i think the volume is a little low compared to TF3D player,i use coreplayer for movies and TF3D for musics,just wanted to know other opinions
while the htc audio manager is nice, NITROGEN is now my player of choice despite minor bugs.
WMP works well for me. Don't like the skin but I have downloaded an HTC-like theme so it is all good.
pocket player too
wide variety of audio format support (4.x supports aac), AVRCP support, plugin to add pitch adjustment
Power Problems

How did you get the player to play in power saving mode. with the screen off. Whenever I do this it stops the music, and some times, even unloads my memory card.
This has been my biggest bain and major issue with my tmobile tp2. I have tried Mortplayer and Nitrogen, the best IMHO and have had the same issue. I have tried different searches to enable the device to let the music play while the screen is off and none have worked. I am going to try S2P. My only gripe witht that program is that it does not play all file formats.
Oh well...
Coreplayer.
Has EQ, bass boost and pre-amp options and also is the best video player.

yeah,Pocket Music Player is the thing,it can auto power off and power on,holy ****,which else can be as nice as this one?
+1 for Pocket Player.
My reasons: AVRCP support (a must have feature for me), wide format support (many free players don't support wma, which is a deal breaker for me), equalizer, gapless playback(!), quite finger friendly (some buttons are rather small on the default skin, but it has kinetic scrolling etc.)...
Video support is a bit lacking, but then again I only use it for audio.
I use Pocket Player as well, mostly because it works well for both music and audio books. I am frustrated with whatever method it uses for shuffle, though. I've had 6 different songs play 2-4 times in 4 hours. I have nearly 1000 songs and 66 hours of music! Seems like I should not be getting that kind of repetition.
Pocket Player problems with playing large MP3 files...
One thing guys - and anyone who uses Pocket Player on the TP2 may have seen this... I listen to a lot of voice audio. I prefer to combine the files for audio and can sometimes have long audio files of 300 megs all the way to 1.2 gigs (I use a 16 gig storage card).
The problem i have seen is that sometimes the control that shows where you are in the audio file goes haywire and slides from the correct position all the way to the right - making the bookmarking feature fail and impossible to navigate. Additionally it appears Pocket Player somehow miscalculates the size and length of the audio - but it originally has the size and length correct - this only happens after a certain point (for me it seems after about 240 minutes or so - about 4 hours in).
WHat is so strange is this does NOT happen for all audio files on this device. Some of the large files seem to play fine without problem. Additionally when I compare this to another TP2 that has an installation of the competitor program Pocket Music, this does NOT happen. Also this never happenedon our original HTC Mogul from Sprint.
The problem is we need the AVRCP controls and we all know that Conduits is the only company that has addressed this. It's also pathetic that HTC themselves has continued down this path and refuses to even comment on this issue.
2 questions to this wonderful community of genius people who take it upon themselves to fix what should have been included in the first place:
1. Has anyone seen a hack / mod that will fix the AVRCP controls so that programs like Pocket Music and other players can be used via Bluetooth remote controls?
2. Has anyone seen this specific issue with Pocket Player (which has that beautiful speed plugin that does not alter pitch - love that) and if so - is there a fix or workaround for large files 'breaking' in the middle of playing so that you can no longer save your position or know the correct position of the player in the middle of the MP3 being played?
Thanks in advance to all of you who have any suggestions on either issue.
I'm using Kinoma Play, though mainly for its integration with Orb and video abilities.
For music it supports album art, but only has bass and treble adjustments, not an equalizer.
There is a Kinoma Free you can try.
I am searching for the perfect player and have been testing several of them to see how they work. In addition to some of the normal music player requirements I have 2 pet peeves in particular:
1) The player must support the "Album Artist" tag so that compilations are listed properly in the library.
2) Proper alphabetization - "The Beatles" should be listed under the B's not incorrectly under the T's.
I am testing Pocket Player right now. So far it is the only music player that supports and uses the "Album Artist" tag and it does so by default. It does not support proper alpha. AVRCP works fine out of the box.
The HTC player has the advantage in that it is the only player that can be integrated on the TF3D tabs but does not utilize the "Album Artist" tag nor uses proper alpha. It also has a serious bug that prevents it listing and playing a albums tracks in the correct order. AVRCP of course works well.
WMP supports proper alpha but not the "Album Artist" tag. Strange since MS pioneered the use of the "Album Artist" tag in the desktop version of WMP. AVRCP works fine.
CorePlayer is an evil company. I will never buy or use any SW they make.
Kinoma is next up on my list.
I wish I could find a music player that addresses both of my pet peeves and could be integrated into the TF3D tab replacing the HTC one. That would be the perfect player for me.

I understand what you're saying but I would argue that any player that puts that artist name under B is the one doing it incorrectly. If you want The Beatles under the B's then you should rename those tracks to the album artist "Beatles."
For the people that got the TF3D music to work, please share your magic on having it identify your library from a storage card.

I know this question is like 2 months old but I use Nitrogen and its good enough for me...very finger friendly! And on the main screen there's a button that looks like a Power Button under the volume keys...thats how you put it into "sleep mode" and music will continue playing.
Just starting a 'entertaining' thread as we wait the last few days for froyo .
I'm currently useing PowerAmp's music player and love it. My favorite feature by far..little weird.. but is when I unplug my headset it instantly pauses.. and waits in the background for anything to plug back into the headphone jack. It plays back up..awesome for quickness.
Was just curious as to what you all use; and some 'unique' feature they may have.
Doh..I'm a little slow tonight; posted in this in the wrong section. Mind helping me with a move mods? Sorry!
Love PowerAmp. Two features that no other player has: view music by folder, and an equalizer. Hands down best player.

PowerAmp hands down
Im on stock 2.2 player. The 5.1 feature just makes my music sound so much better.

MIUI Music Player. It is simply amazing.
i've tried alot of music players, and i'm kind of a music snob, so they all piss me off.
but my regular music app is mixzing.
meridian has great features but i don't like the ui.
native 2.2 is actually better than most, but it pulls songs into the library from non-my-media folders. one minute: bob dylan. next minute: damn ringtone.
i'm looking forward to trying poweramp, since so many people here like it.
The samsung music player for 2.2 is the best! Disc view is cool. Music controls in notification bar is the best feauture.

I enjoy Winamp's android app. It's pretty nifty.
I'm using a player called "3". I've used them all, this is great. Easiest playlist generation, it looks great, and the lock screen feature makes life easy.

I love the 2.2 music player.
Awesome sound effects, controls in the status bar, visualizations, ability to searcha single song to play, and it will continue to play songs from the directory where all the songs are kept. Stays loaded in memory, doesn't stutter.
As far as aftermarket, winamp is great.

That stock 2.2 player, you can have it pull songs from specific folder (;
Just change the option in category view

I feel like I've tried every one on the market.
The 3 features "dream" features, which I can't find together in a single player are:
Gesture fast forwarding & rewinding (Meridian),
"Recently Added" playlist (Meridian and Stock 2.2)
Bookmarking for multiple tracks (a few, but best is Astro Player).
I listen to mostly podcasts, and I'm using Astro Player now, but the UI is excruciating to use.. counterintuitive menus, super pita. But it bookmarks all of my podcasts really well... open to recommendations

Create a file called ".nomedia" in the directories where you your ringtones and other non-music files are and the media scanner will overlook them, thus preventing your ringtones from showing up in your music library.
audio player with EQ is sooooo sick with the S9-hd bluetooth headphones. you set the 32 herts all the way up and put the 64,125,250 hertz all the way down. then you up the 1k hertz one bar up and then the 8k hertz 4 bars up and the 16k hertz 3 bars up. it sounds like your in a suv with low end punching subs with warm mid range.
you can use any headphones but it has to be noise canceling ear buds
Hello, I'm using paid Player Pro and I love the player, what im looking for tho is an application that can stay in the background (like Last.fm)
and when I click it to show me the lyrics of the song im playing right now on Player Pro in karaoke style, so I dont have to google the lyrics to see them.
Thing is im a music junkie and my english isnt the best so I like to read my lyrics as well + I listen to primary Metal and such styles.
I spent alot of time yet cant find such application, it's only other players + lyrics function
try ttpod or music match
Hey guys, I am currently using an AOKP ROM, and I am wondering if there is an APK out there for the TW music player that doesnt need all the TW frameworks. I've tried many music players from the market, and I have even purchased poweramp. They still don't work as well as the touchwiz player. Can anyone help me out?
what did you like about the TouchWiz music player?
i personally disliked it, and installed Google Music right away. (plus, it can stream my entire library)
other notable music players are Winamp and Apollo.
I like to manually manage all my music on my SD card, so the Samsung player works great with custom folder structure.
I like that when you hit the back key it takes you back to the song view (my poweramp just closes, so I am forced to constantly hit the 'back' nav button built into the program and its uncomfortable)
Samsung player works really well with my car. Poweramp always looses my playlists and starts from the beginning, when I turn my car off and on, and has weird effects when you change songs.
Ill try Poweramp, and the Apollo from the market really is no good. I've seen the Apollo in CM, is that one different?
Apollo used to be available only with a CM ROM. but they have released it separately now.
i personally don't use playlists, i just listen to everything i have. and from using Google Music and Apollo, both go back a screen instead of exiting the app. i also haven't noticed any weird effects when changing songs.
Greetings Zooper Deities!
I am still new to andoid in general and Zooper in specific. Widget making is awesome, I am completely in love with the possibilities! I'm just wondering if one of those possibilities is to have dual Zooper music player widgets positioned at the same time. Specifically, I want to make a player for my audible books (sacrificing the 30-second "go back" feature and the sleep timer) and one for my music player (Google PlayMusic for now, until my Rocket Player is supported).
I don't want to go to all the trouble to design a pair of widgets that can't be used together... and I honestly don't even want a homepage for audio playing if it can't control both. The way I have it now is using the proprietary widgets from Rocket Player and Audible, but they are mismatched and ugly and make me sad. :crying:
So, am I still asking too much, or is this a doable goal?
Hi,
What player do you use for your Audio Books?

Just to clarify this: do you want to have separate widgets for different media players or do you want one to rule them all? The first is not possible to do with Zooper because you can't specify which music app should be controlled. The later should be possible, though I've never used Audible and thus I'm not sure if Media Utilities(MU) fully supports it.
P.S.: deities? love that
I use the audible app to download and control my audio books. They offer a widget that works pretty well, but is ugly as sin.
I want to be able to switch on-the-fly from listening to my audiobook to listening to music. I can do that with the proprietary widgets, seamlessly: pressing play on one pauses the other and starts up where it left off. It needn't be *that* complex, I'm capable of pressing pause and then play myself. So, short answer long, I do indeed want two players.
