What is your favorite oh so special app you cannot live without?
I like a TON of apps, from games to entertainment and so on and so forth. but, my favorite app is....
*drum roll*
SLACKER RADIO.
Not only is free streaming radio, you get to pick your stations and you genres. Unlike pandora where you must type your favorite artist/band etc... You can pause skip and favorite songs.
Pretty awesome. I would be sad without it.
So tell me, what is your favorite app?
I absolutely love Lithium Music Player... Eliminates the need for an album art grabber because the one built in is incredible! Plus the graphical interface is very cool!

can you browse by folders ?
ePocrates, for work.
Love the fact that the beta android version seems to run faster than the iPhone version, and is also much easier to read with larger font
Second favorite app right now is probably the game Air Control
Tippy Tip, Aldiko, AndroNote are runners up

A tie between Slacker radio (i even subscribed for the monthly fee) and Beautiful Widgets. quick question do you know how to "fine tune" the station on android? i could do it on my iphone but cant find it here.
I never new knew you fine tune it. I will check on my sisters iPhone and see what you mean.

I think beautiful widgets is a given, it makes the phone. I love the mobile buzz widget and get excited any time my vibrant is the subject. Also adw launcher and curve fish widgets. I just can't decide!

Honestly I think I'd have to say the good old stock web browser. I use that more than anything. I've tried alternative browsers but I always come back to stock. The gestures and add-ons in dolphin are great, but the browser is just too slow imo.
And of course I love LP plus and Slacker.
Beautiful widgets, launcher pro, slacker radio subscribed, hd youtube app(replaces stock so I can watch hd as default) ebuddy, photo funia, xda app

Doggcatcher. Podcasts make up about 80% of all listening that I do and that app has saved my sanity on the Android platform. Best 7 bucks I ever spent.
Id have to say that SetCPU is my favorite. Sure I dont interact with it that much, but it makes a world of difference. It allows my phone to run at blazing speeds when needed and then throttle down to near nothing all very quickly and automatically as needed. Now I have awsome performance but on a battery that lasts me all day.
Close runners up are mypics, screenshot, and a few games. Actually I just thought of something, a tie with setCPU will have to be One Click Lag Fix as it has taken my handset from lame to badass in no time at all.

Thanks for mentioning this. Great app. I really dig the slide up menu for artist,track,genre search because it really makes for a one handed operation. Man its really nice. The album art grabber worked great for a few albums I didn't have art work for.

So since i've been home from college i had no reason to listen to my iPod...and since i left it in my truck while it was freezing cold...now it doesnt work...so now instead of buying a new i'll start using my phone...so what's a good music playing app that'll keep everything organized???
Depends what features you're looking for. If you just want something simple like an iPod the TWiz player is great, plus the notification drawer integration is nice. If you like Winamp and wanna stream music from your computer, then you'd probably like Winamp. The best in my opinion is the more advanced, feature packed PowerAMP. It is a paid app now, but you can try the full version free for a while.

if you have the vibrant.. the stock app is great by itself. Buuuuut If you want a great music app with an equalizer and everything else.. try Power Amp. Its an awesome app and it has a full screen widget.
thanks guys...i just "got" PowerAMP and it looks great...thanks for the suggestions
Sent from my XDA app cuz I'm stalking your mom....
I actually really like Winamp on my Vibrant.
If you're looking for audio streaming from your pc to your vibrant; you can't beat Audio Galaxy. The best interface out there and it hasn't failed in both quality and ease of use.
Great product though! Also check out mixzing. That's a pretty cool app too...

+1 on Audiogalaxy. Ive been using it for a while now. As long as youre in an area with good coverage/wifi, youll always have all of your music on there. And for me, thats even more music than I can fit on my 120gb music.
But for music on your sd card, the previously mentioned PowerAmp is a great option, sleek UI plus an awesome equalizer.

i personally use playerpro, loving it. lockscreen functionality too!
I'm big into music on my vibrant and I am using the MIUI music player (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=854766). Give it a look.
Mixzing is the best. Can organize by folder or how ever you want. Can even set it up to only show music in certain folders. So you don't have random sounds like you would in the stock music player. Plus has nice Widgets. And Album art. Very nice player! Also can play video files too. If you want!

If you liked how the iPod / iTunes did things you might enjoy DoubleTwist. Then again, you might just enjoy it anyway. Has an AirSync add-on available too. However, I'm currently using Player Pro. While it's not free, I haven't found it's equal in the many other players I've tried.
you need to try this i love it

+1 for miui, great replacement for the stock player. Myself, my mp3s are nicely organized in folders, and not all of them tagged properly, so I ended up with a ton of "unknown" artist tracks. Found MortPlayer in the market, and it plays by folder, not tag. Saved me a ton of work.

Have u guys seen this music player? the guy who created Launcher Pro is currently working on it but so far looks great...give it a try...here's the alpha 2 version :

This is an awesome music app for it to be in alpha, especially since it has scrobbling from last.fm.
Force closes on me sometimes too but i suppose that is to be expected.
keeps FC for me, thats a shame since it looks as a nice music player...
Hope next versions will be more stable...
It's a really good first attempt. I put it next to my HTC surround, and it looks freaking perfect. Now only if I could get all the DRM stripped off my Zune Pass content....
Really nice. very good start....
one problem....
IT FORCE CLOSES!!!!
If it force closes, email Fede (the developer) with your logs and what not. He'll try to fix it. Better for everyone and more productive than just whining.
Mine works perfectly fine.
I like it, just wish it had a widget.

Its in alpha... does nobody seem to get that!? He hasn't even got a beta.
Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G on the network with the most backhaul, whatever that is
most of the time I realise it force closes when it could not pull out the album art fast enough. Not sure if I'm making sense here.
Let me just try again.
While using the app, I realise one peculiarity.
When scrolling though songs, there are occasions where by when the new track starts playing, the album art that is shown, is that of the previous track. And usually in these instances, the app will encounter an error and force close.
Now this appear to be a great app in the works, and if it were to support the a search function instead of just scrolling through the list as well as the ability of editing playlists on the fly, it would be perfect.
For me is working OK. Rooted Stock OLYEM_u4_2.1.1
Thanks for posting about this I'm really loving this player

Best Music App
Well I centarnly think that ZPlayer is the best music app.
I like grooveahark, but I'm using paid version. I think there is free one bit its probably very limited. I had all my music setup on it through the website so it was easier to go with their app rather than setup my library on another service.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
I also think that ZPlayer is one of the best and it looks very nice.
Wouldn't it be very cool to have a music player application with a visualizer? Before my current android phone I had most of music on my PSP and the one thing I missed the most was the visualizations it did of the music. Does anyone know of an android application that does something similar? I know my friends GSII comes built in with a visualizer but its very basic.
I have included a video to demonstrate the visualizer on the PSP and I spent sometime on my 2 favorite effects.
It would be really cool if there was a similar program or if a developer would put this in their apps. Most of the music apps that I have tried don't have anything like this at all.
Just in case the link doesn't work go here
In the video I run through all 7 visual effects and then I go over my 2 favorites. I personally like the 2nd (0:42 seconds in and again at 3:33) and 4th (1:13 seconds in and again at 4:50) effect. And near the end I leave it on the last effect because that one takes a while to fully show what it does. I personally want something like the 2nd effect. If I can find an app that does just that then I would be happy.

You can install the Sony walkman app with visualizer add on. I am loving it. It has about ten themes for the visualizer. It was pulled from on of the new Sony phones. Think it'll satisfy your needs.

Ok I am sure all netflix users have found out that we have been had. There app will automatically update and no matter what I do I can't stop it. The new app is not very responsive and fails to load all the thumbnails. It's not as bad on the 3vo as it is on the og but still sucks. Plus I liked the old look better. So what I am wondering is if anyone knows how to stop it from upgrading?

Unfortunately there is no way to stop the update. I have a backup of netflix in titanium backup from about 4 months ago and as soon as I restore the app and data it loads the new interface. I thought netflix was slow before, I didnt think they could make it any worse. They might be trying to push people to upgrade their devices. The app works on the 3vo, but my wife has an evo 4g and it barely works now.
yeah i am in the same boat. i have the og and my ole lady has the 3vo. damn you netflix!!!!!!
The Netflix app's user interface is really just a web page. There is NO way whatsoever to get the old user interface back, because it is served directly from Netflix, as opposed to being a native Android user interface.
I agree that it blows. Why can't Netflix make a UI that lets us actually be able to browse ALL of the available titles? For instance, if I check the science fiction movies on the app, I apparently have a choice of about 20 movies or so to watch. Yet, you can search and find all kinds of additional titles. Why can't I just browse the damn library of titles?!?!
After a little bit digging.. Seems to be a server side updated rather than a full app update...

I very much agree. Netflix is quite un-user friendly. Half the time you have to know what you want to watch and search for it, and even then it's very hit and miss. I especially don't follow why Netflix has say... movies 2 and 3 in a series, but not the first one. DEFINITELY needs a massive UI update to allow entirely library browsing. not just whatever 75 titles they feel like showing at the current time.
I got fed up with Netflix, left August 1st.
Once Amazon gets a little better selection I'll head over there.
