Android :: Promising Music Player App - Astro Player Nova
Oct 12, 2010
Early this morning I d/l another music to try out. It's called Astro Player Nova.
The Nova is a beta app but looks to have promise. It contains several features that I look for and even includes the ever-elusive equalizer!
I use a combination of my Eris' stock player, Cubed (3) and Zimly to accomplish my desire to create playlists, queue songs and have an easy to use interface.
The stock player creates playlists the easiest of any app I've used that can do it, while I love the way that Cubed handles music selection and queuing of songs. Zimly has the easiest and slickest interface of any app I've tried. In fairness to Zimly, I recently found a way to create playlists and queue songs in the app. These features aren't as easy to find or identify in Zimly as within the stock music player or Cubed, but they exist.
Well, I am trying the Nova from Astro and it looks VERY promising! This app allows playlist creation, provides queuing of songs and...wait for it...Wait for it...IT HAS AN EQUALIZER!
This product is still in beta so I'm taking it through the paces, including the equalizer. I have an aux input in my car, I use wireless FM xmitter in my wife's car and I wear headphones when exercising, so I should be able to reasonably assess how useful the equalizer is.
One nice feature of the beta app is that it has a option to send feedback to the developers right from the app. This is nice for those of us who don't have a problem with apps transmitting user data.
I will update this thread as I use Nova more. Also, I'm interested in other opinions from new users.

Am I right in thinking that the Music Player on the Desire is HTC's own?
Is there a default Android player?
I only ask as I think the current one that is default installed on the phone is poor, very poor. I use another app to play podcasts and even with the 'hide podcasts from default player' option ticked, they still show up in the music player.

The audio/music player on my HTC Hero locks up immediately when it starts. As a result I cannot preview any sounds or play any music unless I stream with pandora or something. I have installed another music player app, which is fine for music, but the default player remains the one that locks up, so if I click an audio file to preview it, that app comes up and locks. Is there a fix for this? Can I somehow set another 3rd party player as default?

Ok we all know that our evo music playback on headphones is ridiculously low especially if you coming from the iPhone, but today I found Astro player beta which have some good equalizer that can boots your audio output to new level,even louder than the iPhone 4 output with the same headphones,so try it out and keep in mind its still in beta stage so it force close a lot but it doesn't affect music playback when it does that.

Everytime my phone connects with my car stereo (Clarion FB275btb) it starts to stream music. It even tries to stream if the music player is closed. After I stop the music and and put the stereo into another mode it works fine. If I later get a call it acts normally, but after I end the call it starts to stream music again! Any ideas on what the problem might be? My stereo worked fine with my behold I and nokia 5310.

Trying to find a way how to move music from google play to the stock music player. It has better sound quality, in my opinion, than google play itself. Any way to get music from google play to the music player app that comes with Android Ics.

I recently bought an SD card for my Samsung Galaxy Centura, mainly so I could store music on it without taking up much of the memory. The odd thing is, when i went to play some music using the music player, only about a quarter of the songs showed up. When I used Android File Manage to check the SD card, they were all there and playable. All the songs are MP3 format. how I can get the songs to work on the music player?

One of the few advantages my old iPhone has over my Captivate is it's perfect iTunes integration. I have Doubletwist, and now all I need is a music app, instead of the crappy one Sammy gives us.

I flashed nonsensikal a little while ago, and I don't really like the default Android music widget. I was thinking of getting MixZing but I read in a few of the comments that it was a memory hog, so from people who have used it before, does it seem like a memory hog to you? If anyone else has any suggestions of an app with a nice looking widget, let me know.

Would it be possible for someone to mod the stock music player to add:
1) a menu option to rotate the interface when keypad isn't open.
2) an on-screen volume control.
I ask this because:
a) I am not a programmer of any sort
b) I use this little guy � http://www.innovationwednesday.com/gphone.html � and currently I have to have the keypad open all the time and the volume controls are on the side of the phone against the desk.

I haven't seen any search threads that answer this. Are there any good music players out there that are simple and functional? I have heard mixzing and nemo, but those are more than I need. I downloaded "mortplayer" and loved it... well except the fact it would force close every ten minutes. Plain, simple, and easy to use is what im looking for. Don't need album art and the like.

i have a lg gw620 or "intouch max" depending which way you look at things.anyways, the stock music player is fine, and has a solid selection of options within the app, however it lacks decent options on the home page (it only shows skip track and pause options unless you open up the app) what im looking for is something thats more widget like i suppose, that gives me more options without having to actually open the app.

Is there any way to pass a file or a playlist to a standard Android Music Player? I guess almost all applications, for instance, i Music do it.

Are there are music player alternatives that are similar to the Zune HD interface, or something that is more aesthetically pleasing that mixzing or btunes? Most android music player alternatives don't really make big leaps over the bland stock music player IMO.

Does one exist for Droid X? Yes I did search first but could only find a reference to one for the phone itself...not built into the app.

Anyone know of a decent market/non-market music player for a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate? I'm fed up with DoubleTwist (slow as cold molasses and a pain in my aft end). Need something that can handle a 3500 song library smoothly. The phone has been rooted and I've enabled side-loading as well as a lagfix.

I've been using the standard media player on my Nexus one since I've gotten it, only loaded music once using simple copy and paste method on the folder level. Problem is I've gotten new music (alot) and I can no longer fit it all on my nexus one.
Before someone mentions it, I've tried using DoubleTwist and I'm not a fan, I've had issues with slow syncing, duplicates, and as a music manager I can't determine the total size of the media I want to sync, can't choose more than all or selected playlists, no artist selections, I can't edit the file tags within the application, and some music isn't removed when I try to remove it from my library (not move to trash)... Overall I'm very unsatisfied.
Needless to say I'm looking for something else to use, something that allows me to rate my music both on the desktop and on my nexus one...and that those ratings actually sync on... this will allow me to determine what I Listen to and thus only transfer that over to my N1.

Ok non-rooted droid. Using the stock media player it will not let me play a certain folder that I downloaded. I can not figure out why it will not play any of the songs on in that certain folder. I downloaded the whole disc set of a certain artist and this is the only folder that does it. I checked and every song is 317 kbps MP3 format. I have some music that I downloaded using iMusic and it is 320 kbps MP3 format, so I have deducted the bitrate as being the issue.

I have a 16gb card and I have my music in a folder called music. For some reason the music player isnt seeing all my music. I have made changes to folders names just to see if the app recognizes the changes, even removed some music, but when I load the card the music app dosent see the changes. Its like its somehow cached. I have gone in the "settings/applications/manage applications/music/" and cleared the cache, but under "settings/applications/manage applications /music player" it wont let me clear the cache. I have also noticed that certain folders have different album art thats ok not worried about that just want all my music to show. have any of you ran into this problem or know how to have it reload the music on the memory card ?

I then cant use them as my ringtones, message tones etc.
