Hi there,
this is a thread to discuss music player software for the galaxy tab. So far I found 2 nice software players:
Play Music:
the default player has a nice eye-candy ui that looks good on the tab, but other than that it doesn't have much going for it. It lacks an equalizer and visualizations.
Android Music Player by JRTStudio:
this player comes with a clean ui, allthough it doesn't seem to be particularly suited for tablet devices. It also lacks some sort of fullscreen music visualization, but it comes with a good equalizer built in. That way, you can enjoy your music.
WinAMP for Android:
horrible UI, totally unsuited for tablet devices, lack of visuals and equalizer (EQ only in pro version).
do you know any alternatives (free or paid)? It would be nice if the software could show a nice music visualization on the screen while playing music.
regards
Horscht
I have very good references about this:
Here is the trial version.

I'm using the default music player, so i can't tell you about it.

I'll give another 'thumb' to PowerAmp. I tried a few before this made the difference
I like the Toshiba media player. Works great on the 10.1
I got it from a thread here for apps from other tablets that work on the 10.1

I find Power Amp great as well
Wow, PowerAMP looks really clean and works well. The sound options are just plain awesome. It still lacks visualizations but, damn this is a great player. But at a price of 4€ not exactly cheap either. Gonna keep on using the trial for now, see if it's really worth that price tag
I've been using Jukefox for a few days. The first time you run it you need to wait a bit, but that's because its loading album art and generating a tag cloud. Not sure if I like it or not - I usually go for a really clean simple UI. But the way it presents your music isn't like any other player I've seen before.

poweramp as well, some troubles with a few FLACs, but mostly ok, just convert to AAC if you plan to play FLAC.....although it still doesnt sound as good as any android with the Wolfson exploit...aka Voodoo
rocket player
I've got rocket player on both my tab and phone and cant fault it
Neutron Music Player
By far the best sound quality. Nice UI. But you need to get to know it a little bit.
Developer still makes changes to the UI. Work in progress

Have you tried Samsung's stock Music player?
You can use the Multitasking thing with it, which you can't do with others.
Poweramp and Winamp are my personal favorites.

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

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.
Im running ginger clone anyone have the link so I can get the stock samsung vibrant music app the phone originally came with it was real nice

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.

Im using Playerpro also. Great app. Not only does it have lockscreen functionality but while locked the volume buttons can be used to change tracks and control volume. Love it

I'm not sure if there is already a thread for music players because you can't search with xda apppppp. Correct me if I am wrong. What do you guys think is the best music player/app?
I really liked the Samsung music player.
Stock one on the atrix sucks I think. It freezes from time to time and does some funky shewt

Has the leaked music app.
Winamp is (in my opinion) the best. It offers everything doubleTwist does plus wireless sync is free. The doubleTwist app on the PC side is sluggish and bloated whereas Winamp is quite speedy and lightweight comparatively speaking. doubleTwist does offer streaming to ps3/360 but you can do that already using DLNA so it doesn't really matter.
DoubleTwist FTW... The leaked music app is good looking but too laggy for my constant use

Cubed.
I ended up having to root and freeze the default music player so it would stop trying to take over music duties via bluetooth controls. I had that problem with a few other players too, not just cubed, so if you are using it to stream music via bluetooth, something to think about doing.
Cubed.
So smooth and visually appealing.
WinAmp FTNW! (for the nostalgia win!)
Works pretty well too, and has wifi sync. I mostly just use the player in gtunes or pandora though.

+1 the equalizer in this player is amazing - I'm using the headphones setting and it sounds great.
I like DoubleTwist as well.. easy to sync music and movies
PowerAMP
If you haven't tried PowerAMP for a music player, you really haven't unleashed your Android's music abilities. Hands down the best music player you will ever use, and easily worth the $5 to get the pro version. Check it out!
???!!!
The only problem wit this one is that even if u remove the stock player it wont work with bluetooth streaming/controling...
..Maybe were missing some libraries or something a dev could help us please ;-)

Why do you all hate the stock music player? I've used PowerAMP Pro, Mixzing, and the stock player. And I have to say, there's no damn difference apart from the stock player has a nicer and much more simple GUI, nice equalizer, and is free. Why waste 5 quid on a crappy 'PowerAMP Pro' that wastes battery, looks ****, etc.
Thoughts? Cheers
P.s. I think the Stock music player is ****ing ace .
EDIT: OK because you were all on about PlayerPro I checked it out and damn is it good! It has very nice bass and it's louder too. Only problem is that it uses up 3* as much RAM and 4* as much battery as the stock player, which in my eyes isn't worth it for such a small improvement. Anyway, I still love the stock player, they're both great!
It doesn't read my .m3u playlists. So I bought ZPlayer.
I dont hate it, i like and use it ^^
Glad that someone wrote it finally
I also think that stock player is very good, maybe not perfect but still.
Only player that could threat stock player may be Winamp but now it has so many bugs that for me is useless
I agree , but real player is pretty cool

The AOSP player has a widget I believe. But it's still bland like the TW version.
Even the 3rd party players availableon the market don't do it for me because they don't integrate the way I'd like.
It's sometimes smooth and sometimes laggy, which hate. So I use ubermusic for the total smoothness.

Yeah I just checked out Player PRO, it's pretty nice actually. But what's the difference between that and the stock? I mean, does the stock use more battery? or...or what?
I use stock player and i think other player just use software decoder mean they eat more batteries
MIUI Music app here on a MIUI rom. Can't fault it.
After i got SGS2 never bothered with other players, as stock one is simply great. Nice UI, good sound quality, equalizer, bass boost and few sound effects, that's all i need.

i love the stock player.. used playerpro, poweramp, that MetroUI one from Fede, Doubletwist, Winamp etc..
Only thing I wish it could do is edit ID3 tags or at least properly read the ones set by iTunes
I use the stock player on my Samsung, but needed to go with 3rd party on my Atrix. But for Samsung, hands down I LOVE the stock player!...

poweramp no doubt. it's tried and true. also, the audio-tweaking options are unmatched.
for player pro, you have to install a dsp package...i don't know about you, but the less i have to install, the better. poweramp is the all inclusive package that makes your music sound many times better.
When it comes to sound quality, I think PowerAmp is the best by far. On the other hand, n7player has a GUI more pleasing to the eye. And also, there is the price, but if You want to enjoy the music in its fullest I say go with PowerAmp. I use it myself and just love it.

No you don't. PlayerPro comes with an EQ like PowerAmp, but you can add the DSP package if you want to. IMO PowerAmp is all flash and bling with OK audio, while PlayerPro concentrates on being easy to navigate and deliver great sound. Like PowerAmp you can tweak the audio exactly like you want it and the DSP addon only allows you to push it a little further.
But between PowerAmp and N7? PowerAmp aaaall the way.
I know it's not listed but for the audiophile there can be only one player: Neutron Music Player.
Really just try it. Better than poweramp

PlayerPro FTW! For me the best music player, i tried PowerAmp but i dont like its UI, PlayerPro is much easier to use.
now Poweramp is the best audio player for android device but for the best quality of sounds you should use some other thinks like audiobeats or scripts to get better voice
How awesome wouldn't it be if somebody resourceful made a meticulous blind test using different Android music playback options on a high end system!
Personally I find minimal difference in image, width and dynamics between different player apps; voodoo sound is what makes real impact in my ears.

Well the dsp engine in neutron mp really shines. It also features enhanced audio interpolation methods (1GHz+ CPU required for best quality) and Ambiophonics R.A.C.R. DSP. Try it people!

Fantastic sound can be had from the 10 band EQ, and it has decent presets. The UI is gorgeous and its very simple to manipulate, even when you're on the go. It plays everything i throw at it, and i can change tags/artwork from within the app... the list goes on
Been using PowerAMP for about 2 years now, and it's still the best

Yup, that would be interesting. But we'd need an audiophile for that. Anyone interested? Download the PowerAmp, PlayerPro demos and other players and share your thoughts.
the problem is... some demo only lasted for 30 sec... will be hard to really test the software... unless errr... nevermind
Wuut? PowerAmp and PlayerPro demos lasts for two weeks.

Yup, I agree its the best one I've used so far
Have you tried doubletwist? It's not too bad.
I like Google Play Music the best because the interface looks really snazzy and the homescreen widget looks good next to the other stock ICS widgets. The cloud sync features are also pretty useful.
Player pro or Poweramp. I use Poweramp.
I use the Poweramp, but i like the winamp too.
I'm fairly certain by now I've tried them all and not one was even close to as useful as Poweramp. I bought it because I liked it that much!
It's packed full of useful options and features, hard to avoid this one!
Ironically, the best music player I've found was the stock one in CM9 before they switched to Apollo.
Aside from that, I'd recommend poweramp, just don't expect any support for it. Last I checked their support forums was full of spam and hadn't seen any non-newb questions getting answered in months.
Poweramp because it's equalizer remains the best. Player Pro's eq isn't a good in my opinion but it is still a solid player.
I like n7player
