[Q] Stock Music Player on CM10.1 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have installed FUSION v8.0 ROM which i believe is using CM10.1
The music player which comes along doesnt support folder browsing and also the volume is quite low.
Is there anyway to use music player which comes from samsung on default.?

Samsung music player needs Samsung TW framework, hence no way. Maybe try one of the thousand other music players in the Play Store?

Yeah if you can put a slight amount of money aside to buy poweramp, you won't be sdisappointed.

Thanks for suggestion. Very nice music player indeed.
But still m missing the loud sound of the stock music player. Is there any way this rooting is creating this issue?

Thats one of the great things of poweramp, you can make it loader.
rooting itself will not affect volume. It's probably a ROM thing. Custom Kernels such as Devil (link in my signature) will allow you to increase headphone output to.

Is there a faster music player?

Hello folks,
I've been searching for a faster music player for my Wildfire android phone. Because the default with the sense skin is ****. It loads and scrolls very slow. But I didn't found anything usefull.
Someone knows a minimalistic/fast music player, just only the basic stuff, no equlaizer, visual things ect.
Thanks,
i used winamp for a period of time... it's free on the market
I'm using Music PlayerPro and very hapy with it.
It looks nice and smooth, has got a nice Widget and Lockscreen
-nevermind-
Music PlayerPro FTW.
i'm using Music PlayerPro too.. n work well
Tiny player
Search for "Tinyplayer" on market its free n just 60 k app it dsnt hv much of Eye catching features but is lightest
I use Miui Music (QVGA)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929727
just have a look at
ttpod
real player
winamp
double twist player.... and choose the best that suits u.
consider lyrics and subtitles support if u need.
so many other players in the market, if u r free to search.
and im not sure whether the above miui music player works with unrooted phones also.
Player pro is nice, especially with the pure white skin.
I use Rockit
I use tinyplayer.
Sent from my LG-LU3000 using XDA App
I see the topic has risen after 2 months, but for the sake of it - try Vanilla Music Player. It's really lightweight, has a cool widget and seems to drain less battery than any other player.
I use Poweramp which is the best player out there!
For me, it's Rockbox
It's not the prettiest by default and it definetely takes some getting used to, but it's by far the most functional player available.
I've been using it on my Cowon D2 and I'm glad they made a port for android
Rockbox supports pretty much ANY format there is (hell, it even plays NES-roms and tracker formats), supports ReplayGain and gapless playback, has a proper shuffle mode and countless options to tweak the sound to your liking (Crossfeed )
There are 2 prebuilt apks for our screen size here. The upper one is portrait. There's no switching between both modes atm

+1 for poweramp. First app I purchased, and I do not have any regrets.
I like PowerAMP, its almost only one with EQ ! I really love the preset Bass setting in EQ combined with Koss portapro headphones

Ill send u a tip in private msg.
For me it's between Winamp and Playerpro, Winamp is free but Playerpro is a little better IMHO. Both are good, if you don't mind spending the Benjamins then get Playerpro, you won't be sorry, otherwise get Winamp... Both are brilliant. Oh and you might wanna root your wildfire and run CM7... It's the way to go... But yeah if you're worried about warranties etc. then I guess you could stay on Eclaire... it's just like you're holding your phone back...

[Q] stock cm7 music player

can any of you upload a stock music player of cm7? im on dax's themed rom and i kinda don't like its music player..plz upload anyone
It's in the attachment. But I strongly reccomend to use Google Music/PlayerPro/Cubed/doubleTwist/PowerAMP.
Cubed (3) and doubleTwist are free, but if you like the stock one you should use PlayerPro.
thanks +1! you saved my frustration..

stock music player is good, however google shall add some nice features and new glorious look,
bad thing is that it does not have equalizer =(
is anyone having beat skips on any player other than stock player..
i tried winamp and Mixzing, and in both all song skips at 2-3 parts..
I was getting BZZZT noises all throughout songs in random places with the stock music player and Google music beta app. I switched to playerpro and I'm not having any issues.
It's called noise reduction, if you have noice in stock player than either there is a problem with your device's audio playback or your music is noisy. In most cases it's the second one.
try ttpod! best ui
https://market.android.com/search?q=ttpod&so=1&c=apps
O MY GOSH, thank you SO MUCH for the Cubed (3) recomendation... this is the ONLY music player so far i have found that has the ability to CLEAR the now playing list... so you cant press pause/play and have music play at any time.
anyone can please upload stock camera flashable zip file

How to use Beats?

Where/how do you use Beats? I have music on the Rezound but the Music play can't find it.

You have to use the stock music app. Have you seen the red outlined "b" pop up in the status bar? If so, Beats is on. You can disable it in the dropdown status bar.
Without modding, Beats sound enhancer is only available in the stock HTC music app and the stock video player. Hit Menu soft key > Sound enhancer for music player, or More > Sound enhancer while playing a video. The music player will also put a toggle in your notifications bar.
Beats effects only work with the line out headphone jack, not the loudspeaker out.

If you drop the music anywhere on the internal storage or SD card, it should be picked up by the music player. What format is you music in?
I tried .MP3 and "downloaded" music from GMusic. Is there a way to link "My library" to a specific folder?
i personally use double twist for this reason because it finds all the music that is in my itunes library and syncs it to my device.

Google Music stores offline mp3 files in /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music. The files are named as integers without tags, so you are best off making copies, renaming and tagging (if you wish), and putting them on the external sd or another internal folder, e.g. /sdcard/My Music.
There is no way to scan specific folders in the stock HTC Music UI AFAIK. Easiest way to get it to detect files that don't show in the player's library is to make sure they are in a folder in /sdcard/ or the external sd, and reboot; should rescan for files and pick them up them. Perhaps someone else knows how to tweak the library, with an app or editing a file?
Frankly, I have broken my stock player at the moment from flashing ROMs and not wiping properly (ran out of Charmin Ultra lol ) Else I'd troubleshoot the problem more.
Either way, I find the HTC Music app lacking compared to PowerAmp (scans everything lightning fast), doubletwist (good for iTunes integration) and other offerings on the Play Store. I have simply done the Beats Audio mod to all sound output: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587168 Then use whichever music player I want.
thanks Phantasm, how do you install the beats audio? Does the phone have to be rooted first?

Yes, you must be rooted and flash a custom recovery such as ClockworkMod or Amon Ra (most people would probably recommend Amon Ra for this particular device.) Then you flash the Beats audio zip file from your custom recovery.
Bear in mind that if you don't like the sound signature for whatever reason, you must reflash the ROM to restore the original sound processing.

Yes, but the Beats Audio sound effect is only in the stock music and video apps, not any others. This mod works on all audio output, e.g. streaming music. That is what I like about Sense 4.0: universal Beats sound effect. Wonder if 3.6 gets it.
Now, to bring this full circle, if you want to stay stock and not go through Unlocking and rooting, I wouldn't do all that for this Mod alone. Only if you intend on rooting and customizing your phone anyway. I'm sure plenty of people will suggest DSPManager or Volume+ or the EQ in PowerAmp, etc. Those options are great, customizable, and don't need root. I use all of those with and without the Mod on ROMs; it provides a better baseline sound IMHO.

[Q] Music player recommendation with specific requirments

Hi,
I'm looking for a music player which:
1. Has a nice looking clean interface, Google now like. A good example would be Shuttle player.
2. Will not display the same album multiple times. Some music players put most songs on one album and the rest on another due to various reasons. On some music players, this doesn't happen.
3. IF possible - a music player that does not cause mediaserver to go nuts.
Thanks.

Thanks, downloaded it and it looks nice once you apply a light theme. Also doesn't have the annoying duplicate albums.
One thing no one has commented on, is there a music player that eliminates the mediaserver problem?
How about nexmusic+ , apollo, and Now playing. Shuttle is pretty great already, just wish thy would add scroll animations.
Hope this helped.

:good:
really good sound
dsp manager and apollo make by far the best sound for my music, I immediately noticed the difference, I downloaded other music players and by far nothing beats apollo and dsp manager and tbh I am not particularly fond of how apollo player works, i dont like the fact it doesnt have the ability to play music by folders and when you are searching for a particular song it wont give a drop down menu with pre-search matches like most other players do, it is clunky to make a 'play list' not really great for helping you search the song you need to find (specially when you got 10gigs of music in your sd card) but I just cant leave apollo+dsp player due to how amazing the sound quality is, and I know prob some musicians or sound experts out there can get better sound quality with other players that have the advanced features to tune different sounds but I am not a sound expert and I dont really know how to 'tune' this players to what I get out of the box with apollo+dsp manager.
Does anyone know of a player that syncs with dsp manager as well as apollo does, I tried a few but no cigar

Try Play music,,
Now I am using Viper4android with toggling between Play music and xperia walkmaan Music player... It is awesome..
Just buy a decent pair of in-ears (what I prefer) or buy good headphones.
Also it's a bit of a personal thing, others want more bass and less treble.. Also depends on what kind of music you listen.
Personally I like and have the Sennheiser CX-400 Precision, it produces a ''Lifelike Sound''. It all sounds really natural.
Also depends if you buy/download the song in ''Original state'' MP3 file in 320kbps or FLAC (around 1000kbps) or rip it from YouTube. Want to mention that you almost can't notice any difference between MP3 and FLAC when listening with normal speakers, with good headphones/in-ears you do but not a lot, but you can hear the sound is a bit more sharp.
The worst thing you can do is rip song from YouTube because it's already converted once while uploading it so audio quality isn't as good as the original copy, and then you are gonna rip it from YouTube and than it becomes again a bit worse, even if you convert it to 320kbps, it is already not a real 320kbps one anymore.
About the music players.. I'm stuck with Poweramp, with his features like cross-fade which you can set per ms, the themes you can apply for a nice KitKat/Jelly Bean or whatever you want interface, and the ability that you can long-press the song you're playing at the moment and get a pop-up of,
1) All the music from that specific artist.
2) The whole album of the relevant song you're playing.
3) The map where the file is in.
Good audio quality depends on multiple things.
Peace.

Yup most my music is either 192 or 320kbps just because I 'suffer' from real fine audio detection in my ears and it bugs the **** out of me when my music doesnt sound crisp and detailed with each instrument noticeable within the music. I call it 'suffering' because when I hear the fukin radio or some other low quality audio source (Pandora on low bandwith setting blaawhh).
So I immediately noticed when I played music through Apollo with the DSP manager in the settings I preferred. I have tried power amp, google play music, and many other players and equalizers in the Play Store and around the web (viper4android) and its just not the same for MY preference of audio. Granted I am not an audio engineer so it is prob me not knowing how to tune the different audio tools but for my low level audio exp Apollo+dsp manager in android kitkat has been by far my favorite.
