Is it possible to use the music player without sense running? i.e. from SPB MS or any other program like the sense calendar??
It would be so totaly awesome as I love HTS sense skin fro SPB MS3.5 (its just way too smoother). But no, the player is part of sense, as Calendar is. But yo ucan use pictures, footprints and sms klient =)
To tell the truth, Calendar/ image browser and music player is the only reasons i stick to manila over MS3.5 =/
That's a shame...D you know what the executables are called for the other prgrams you mentioned??
Hey guys, new TMOUS HD2 user here but been with xda for a while
Couple questions concerning the built in sense music player/audio manager that I couldnt seem to find answers for...
1) Is there a way to get it to ignore certain folders containing music that I dont want added to my library?
2) Is there some kind of tweak that allows faster accessing of songs in your library? maybe at least an alphabetic scroll? (currently to navigate to a song, you have to kinetically scroll all the way to your song and this is a huge nuisance if you have a larger music library and, for example, are looking for a song/artist/album starting with Z)
3) Why does the music player always stop whenever the camera is activated? is there some kind of reg edit so that this doesnt happen??
I realize that there are other music players out there but i'd really like to get this one working properly especially considering what a nice piece of eye candy it is on sense
I am using SBP 3.5 with sense UI disabled on my HD2 (stock rom),my question is,how can i create a shortcut for the original sense UI music player so i can use it with SPB?anyone knows where is it located in the system? or is it even possible to create a shortcut for it? I've searched all over the forum,but couldn't find any answer
Thanks in advance.
Hey I was wondering what you guys thought was a great alternative to the stock Samsung music apparently. I'm looking for something that is very functional but is also very sleek and stylish. Also hopefully it comes with a widget as well. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks

theres always tunewiki
I would say MixZing. It is not the "sleekest" looking but it certainly is the best-SOUNDING. It has a full 10-band EQ with each band customizable to 12.0db. It also creates playlists based on what you are currently listening to and can get album art/info automatically + suggest new music you may not have. It has a lock screen widget for changing music without unlocking the phone (or you can use a separate program which allows you to switch the song by shaking your phone, even when off). Finally, the developers are VERY friendly and receptive to support and suggestions and are actively working to improve it.

i use one i wrote, but it tottaly sux...
The CyanogenMod Music application. Download CM5 for Nexus One, and install the Music.APK. Awesome look, nice standard functionality and excellent widgets.
Just out of curiosity, what is it about the stock music app that you don't like. I have tried a lot of music apps on the G1, but the stock one on the Vibrant is the best one I have used.
On the G1 and the Cliq I used MixZing and I thought it was great. At this point I'm using the stock player, seems to work pretty good. I would use MixZing or DoubleTwist, I've heard good things about that player.
+1 for the stock Vibrant music app.
The thing is that most of lyrics apps don't support this stock music player.
I tried Mixzing but I like 3 (cubed player).
meridian is pretty good. the headset controlls work for it.
I'm using MixZing, Cubed (3) and Stock player each had one problem I can't stand.
On the Cubed: it keeps recreating/duplicating my playlists, making several copies of each m3u list I have except only the last entry is useable.
On Stock: m3u files not recognized.
+1 for tunewiki, auto lyrivs and cover art download, widget looks ugly and no lockscreen controls though

One reason not to use the stock player is that it can't sort music by artist once your music library gets above a certain size. There is a thread in the Captivate section about this "Music Player -Not enough space in Music Database"
none of this would be a problem if google would get with the program. if the music player in android 3 is the same as android 1 then i hope someone slaps google with a wet noodle.
I just use Real player, works great for music, videos and pics, cant go wrong

Doubletwist is really good
I like MixZing mainly because it automatically retrieves album art and it has a decent widget. It also sorts music very well for me and the lockscreen widget is something I use a lot. My only gripe is that it's not very good looking.
Can anyone help me here please?
I have searched all ,over and found many threads on this but non seem to answer my problem.
I may be fairly unique but I quite like the Sense music player. I have been working with it for a while now and almost have it doing my bidding.
I can get sections of my library onto my phone and playing in the sense player well now including album art and everything looks good.
The only thing I can't seem to do is import playlists from my PC into the sense player.
It's pretty frustrating having to re do my playlists from scratch in the sense player every time I shuffle my music.
I can't seem to find out where or what the sense player is looking for in a playlist. I have tried various formats and put them in different folders but can't get the sence player to see them.
I'm using MusicBee to sync my music as it's the only one I have found that syncs everything perfectly, including album art. I'm sure it will sync my playlists as well if only I can find out what format to use and where to put them.
Any ideas anyone??
OK I've given up. I'm now using Kinoma Play http://kinoma.com/play/ instead of the sense player. Works like a dream so far. All my music syncs and with a little tweaking in MusicBee my playlists go into Kinoma fine.
Still prefer the Sense player to be honest but it just won't do what I want.
There is a free version of Kinima but it's pretty limited, I had to upgrade to paid version to get access to playlists.
If you download the free version and run it you get a link to buy the paid one at a discount.
Why is the sense player so finiky :-(
