Best Music Player - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hello all. I'm looking for your opinions on which music player is the best out there.
While I like the interface of the stock TW music player, there's one thing that bugs the crap out of me. If a band name starts with the word "The", the band falls in the T's. For example, The White Stripes are in the T's not the W's.
So what are your thoughts? I've tries Poweramp and it's decent. But I'm looking to try others.

The last two days I've been looking for good music player too.
I had been using n7player because I like the user interface of it. However since I added my external 64gb SD card I have not been able to add music to it from the card. I can play music off of the card using that player but it can't locate it automatically. It can locate music off the internal storage fine.
I tried Power amp and had the same problem. Winamp was able to identify the music fine.
Im assuming its a format issue as I'm using exFAT instead of fat32.
At this point I'll say Winamp but I like n7 player the best

I use tunewiki. Its easier to use and feels more stream lined imo plus it has lyrics which is nice

Of all the players I've tried I still prefer Neutron. Just seems to sound better. Subjectively, of course.
El Mono

MPlayer
I like the stock player on the Samsung Galaxy S4, but Winamp sounds just as good and the pro version comes with EQ. I would suggest just putting the first letter of the song before the word "the". So, instead of "The Black Crows" it would be "BThe Black Crows". This will fix the order of songs, but it does look awkward.

Player pro here. It also plays videos

Are you talking about google play music, couldnt find anything else in the play store

Thanks for all the replies folks. So far, nothing has topped Poweramp, though PlayerPro is intriguing.

Have you tried Music Player for Pad/Phone?

MIUI vs TW vs Others music player

Just wanted some opinion on which music player you use and why?
I like TW:
Equalizer
Quick controls in 'lock screen'
Sounds better in Bluetooth
Colorful
I use PowerAmp, and i like a lot. It have lots of features and sounds awesome. PowerAmp + Voodoo sound = Epic Music Playback. I did have to tweak power amp a little to achieve musical orgasm, but, im a musician, so it wasn't a tough task.
i was using winamp because it's easy and has wireless sync (and i use winamp in windows), but am now uploading all of my songs to google music beta. i plan on still using winamp for listening to music thats on my phone, but the gmb app for when i want to stream.
also, winamp has the lock screen controls, but i turned them off because cm7 has lock screen control built in regardless of what music player you use.
TW too, we have the same reasons.

Fedes music player clone of wp7
i like touchwiz...
i also like miui coz it has a widget, and you can limit the size of file/songs that will be in the music app....
on touchwiz , my downloaded ringtones plays too which is ughh LOL.. and if i put the nomedia thing on the file , then the ringtones wont be selectable on sound settings..
but i like how touchwiz has a volume slider while the miui one doesn't...so i pick touchwiz, just downloaded galaxy s music widget app.. hehe
I like the TW music app.
I think I should try Poweramp and see how it sounds.

PowerAmp. Especially because it has awesome lockscreen controls.
PowerAmp!!
Good lockscreen controls are paramount for me since I ride a motorcycle. And between all the players with lockscreens PowerAmp has the most guts when you open it up and play with it.
Wow lots of Music Player that I didn't know about
As for PowerAmps, I've try it before but it was using too much CPU resource. Has that been fix or resolved?

Better music player than sense 3.0 one?

I kinda hate the UI on the thing, browsing for music is complicated to say the least.
What are other music player options available for android? I would prefer something free but if its a paid app I'm willing to pay for it.
Also some of my music has incorrect album info, any way to edit this on the phone manually?
Thanks guys
I use PlayerPro from the market. It's a paid app but well worth it. Very easy to navigate and you can edit the song tags in the app.
Can I edit stuff for example, I Have two songs from The Killers, one says the artist is TheKillers (without the space)?. This causes 2 different artists to pop up
Going to start reading some reviews.
I'll give another Hell YA on PlayerPro. No matter what rom i'm on i HAVE to have playerpro. its one of the apps that solidified my love for android and its customizability. PlayerPro is literally the PERFECT media player.
EDIT: and yes, you can edit all the info and tags on all your media very easily
sweet, going to download the trial when I get home later, may end up purchasing it
Poweramp is one of the best out there, unfortunately its paid
definitely worth it however
I use cloudskipper. It's free and has a built in equalizer and pretty sweet lockscreen controls

poweramp.. all the way! paid but well worth it. If the song has lyrics, it will scroll em. If you want it loud, use the preamp. If you want it REALLY LOUD, QPST mod!!!
Never heard ANY phone this loud!!!
PowerAmp is dope, been my fave since the day I loaded it. I'll have to check out Player Pro, looks clean.

+1 for PlayerPro.
I could tell you a million things that I love about it (and why I chose it over PowerAmp), but I'll let you try out the trial and decide for yourself.
The PlayerPro trial will play music past the seven days, but it loses functionality. Read the reviews for the paid one along with the trial - but take some of the trial reviews lightly, some people are using it past the trial period and it isn't working to its full potential.

I agree. I too have tried many of the music players and I kept going back to PowerAmp. Great music player. Lots of settings. Easy to use. The ability to sort by folder is awesome.
Google music beta is kinda cool. No issues so far. Even has search option. But no controls on lockscreen.

Best music player app?

I have a sony Xperia zl and music with the walkman app sounds amazing. Got the s4 now and using the winamp app music quality is poor. Please suggest the best music player for the s4.
Is there a way we can install Sony's walkman app on the s4?
Is rocket player app good?

Yup that works...Thanks a bunch...
in the past ive been able to install sonys walkman on all my devices although I have yet to try with the s4
Google "sony walkman apk" and you will be flooded with results
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2059203
Be carefull tho...domt wanna brick your device so I suggest at kost just installing the apk...wouldnt try the build.prop edits or other stuff yet
That version def requires more than just the app...but you can find standalone walkman apks on the web although they may be older versions

Only prob with power amp is that it jas a terrible shuffle system...go to the albums, then click on a song in an album...it finishes and shuffles and plays some random song from some other artist...I just wanted to listen to the album. Of cours you can long press the album and click play and that does the trick but to me thats just a hassle...idk maybe its been fixed as power amp didnt always have this problem...but that problem sure did chase me away

A little off topic but can any of the players mentioned here play tracks continuously? I have an album that contains songs mixed by a DJ but are separated into 25 tracks. The default player on the S4 always leaves a gap of about 1-2 seconds before moving onto the next track. Would like to be able to listen to the album without the silent gaps.

They all have trials - download and try them. I was using PlayerPro before I switched to Remix, but I tried all of them before I bought. I'm pretty sure PlayerPro and PowerAmp both allow changing the fade between songs.

I use poweramp, too. I like the stock player as it uses adapt sound, but I cannot use the wanam settings for skipping tracks with volume rocker on stock player. So I usually use stock player when I use the display while listening to music, and for all other cases (car, listening in the dark, ...) poweramp.
Try Neutron or PowerAmp.

mmm idk. poweramp skipped for me from time to time. i tried a couple of players including jetaudio. it supports shake to switch track, flac, coverart, playlists, folders, etc, but still sometimes skips with the shake to switch track feature. not really happy about any of them.

I have the paid poweramp version but I think the stock player the sounds better. Use them in multi window and alternate playing same song so you can judge for yourself which one sounds better. But if you're not looking for sound quality Poweramp has more features and looks better.
GoneMad Music Player is the best for me:good:
for me the stockplayer is working great.....:good:
For convenience and general usage, Google music is better since you could have cloud and stream for free. If you are a little serious about music, I think Neuron would be the choice because of the high quality playback.

Check out Gonemad Music Player, I've tried a lot and this suits me, you can browse by artist, album - and folder. All very easily, all the controls are intuitive. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gonemad.gmmp
For a slightly more off the wall approach, with very good audio, try Xenoamp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822492
