[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Keetz:
HI Guys,

Are there any great music players that are FREE? I tried to pay via credit card, and they won't process it in my country... :(

A full-featured, non-freezing app that can do this...that's what I'd like!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ScienceCat:
Personally I think you should just get the .apk file of the music player you want because I'm not sure you can find a good music player that you could buy since you're in another country.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Keetz:
Thanks...I guess I have no choice. I'll get the apk for a few free apps that I can find!

Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
If you need a free app with an equalizer, cubed (spelled as a superscript 3) is pretty decent. But of course you don't actually need an in-app eq if you have firmware with DSPmanager or a third-party eq. That really opens up your options. I can't really recommend one then, because I'm extremely picky when it comes to the UI :D .
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] natkingcole:
you don't need a credit card. you can buy apps with androidpit. (paypal)

poweramp offers you to buy the apk (unlocker) directly from their homepage. There are several options.

Well, I using a Voodoo Sound v10 with DrEaM Ultra Rls 2.0 and Rockbox or PowerAMP as a players. PowerAMP is good looking player with nice interface. But in Rockbox is the worst interface I ever saw (terminal is better), especially those stupid sqares, that it post because there is no russian symbols in stock fonts! But it have so amasing quality...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] davidvilcherrez:
A music player with great sound quality? For me the best by far is the stock music, even it doesnt have a decent eq, the soundalive options makes this device rock.

It doesnt have such a nice ui as other market players, but the point is listen to the music. (This stock player would be perfect if support lyrics :( )
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nightfire37:
It supports lyrics. You just got to input the lyrics in it using Samsung Kies (ewww). I like the stock music player but it's a bit of a resource hog. I'm currently using the music player that came with my custom rom and I'm enjoying it more than ever. It has Beats Audio :p
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
I really love the stock player, but after flashing klin's custom kernal and terrasilent, something happened and it now constantly runs at 800mhz while the screen is off, so it eats battery. :(

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] natkingcole:
Try another governor. Powersave always works great and there is no sound lag when I turn my screen off, unlike smartass v2 (for me).

ondemandx is fine, too

my battery (1300 mAh noname from amazon) lasts:

35-40h on stock player

20-25h on PowerAMP (still enough, I prefer the quality)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
Also make sure soundalive and any EQ are off. They really eat up processor. You should be able to set the Max CPU speed to 100mhz and still get smooth audio (when doing nothing else)

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] davidvilcherrez:
How do you do that ??
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
I have tried, but it somehow ignores the Max CPU speed set for screen off and just keeps running at 800mhz. Believe me, I have tried!

I just tested JetAudio, n7 and Pro Player.

Daaamn, Pro Player is very nice. I don't like the UI and the sound quality of MP3 isn't better but the same as PowerAMP. Some songs sound better (rock), some doesn't (electronic, dubstep).

BUT all my flac files sound much better! I've always been wondering why my mp3@320kbps sounds better than the same song as flac on powerAMP. Because my onboard sound (laptop) didn't make a clear difference either.

The difference between ProPlayer and PowerAMP is HUGE (relatively, on a high level) if you use flac.

But since most of my songs aren't in flac it isn't worth buying Pro Player. The UI is like I said before not my taste.

Oh and JetAudio+N7 Player are nice, too. Better than stock, but not enough for me.

EDIT:

If you set the EQ preset to "Phone Speaker" on PowerAMP it sounds very similar to Pro Player for my ears.

Would someone mind testing it, too?

Nice

I always liked mSpot the most for some reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kahuna028:
I use poweramp at the moment. The bug with the direct volume control is a bit annoying but I think it's worth the trade-off for clearer treble and bass
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
I tried pretty much all the music players on the play store, and PowerAmp by far is the only one I'm willing to pay for. NP7 is good but PowerAmp beats it with its equalizer, bass, tone, and a few other features. You can tell that it is actually working because when you look at the app battery drain, PowerAmp always uses like 30-40% which NP7 doesn't. So that's why PowerAmp is the best.

I also use PowerAmp with DSP Manager (from Icy Fusion rom) and Voodoo Control (From Ethereal) as well. If you want punchy or boomy bass with clear terrible these 3 combined will help. I did a battery drain test to see how long it will last just with those 3 on, and with WiFi, Awake, and Screen on all the time. I got 4hrs 27 mins and 3 seconds
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] KOala888:
I use playerpro (old version, highly customizable with apktool) and dsp manager, or even without dsp.

Our player has better sound quality than my sound card from pc, haha, tested with 100W subwoofer.

can't find voodoo sound

Hi all,

I just bought the 4.0 in the intl version. Somehow I managed to get through all those instructions you guys were so kind to post on this forum, and I'm now running the TerraSilent kernel (1.3.5) and the Ethereal ROM (2.5) in their current versions.

And now that I thought I had it all figured out :), I cannot find the voodoo sound (free version) apk. It is neither on the dev's website nor on the first 10 pages of any google searches I've come up with. The play store obviously won't give it to me either (I've read about some tricks where you change some build.prop file, but I'm not entirely convinced, and I tried installing some kind of hacked version of the play store, which didn't work).

I was even considering downgrading Ethereal to 2.1 or 2.2 when it still had voodoo, but there has to be another solution, right?

Would be great to get some help (the more you dumb it down, the more likely I'll understand ;)). Still fairly new to all this...

Thanks for all your efforts (coding and explaining and all that)

I finally decided to give PowerAMP a try..

and I think you guys are right..

Best sounding player yet. lol

Ok it's settled..

I just bought PowerAMP. I couldnt wait for the 15 day trial to be up. :P

How does it sound compared to PowerAMP?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Consumers:
I exclusively use PlayerPro myself. I tried out Power Amp as well but I can't get over the majority of music apps that force automatic organization on you. If not for anything else, PlayerPro is exceptional for providing the choice between auto, folder view, and a mix of both. Its audio quality is nothing special, but I can't find a good player sensitive to playback quality that also has a simplistic, intuitive folder-based GUI.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] uzi2:
Rockbox will give you the best playback quality available and is easy to operate from a folder based perspective.

mind sharing how you did this?? I'm currently having this problem and the only thing I could think to do is making a tb backup every time I change or make a playlist just in case it happens again...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rasa11:
Sure,

Open poweramp,

Open the settings,

and go into "folders and library"..

Then go into "Folders/Library scanner".

and make sure "autoscan" is unchecked.

So now, when you add new music to your device/library..

You'll just have to go back to settings, Open "folders and library" again.. and hit "Rescan".

It's not the most ideal, I know..

But it's easier than having to remake/re-add all my playlists over again after every time I add some new music.

Took me like 2 hours just to find this "solution" via the poweramp forums.

Hope they get it worked out. lol

So yeah, while it's not ideal..

at least it's a way to keep ones playlists intact. :P

Hope it helps. :highfive:

fluctuating volume

Hi,

I'm using the 4.0 (European or whatever) with voodoo sound and poweramp. Also I have installed the latest Ethereal ROM with Terrasilent. Overall I'm pretty happy with everything, thanks to all those people who spend their evenings and nights programming for us.

Sometimes, however, it seems to me that the volume fluctuates during a song, maybe only for a minute or two, in which it decreases from what I have set and then increases again several times (i.e. during the 1-2 minutes, it goes down and up again 3-4 times). It has happened both when I had it on maximum volume for line out and when using my headphones. I'm guessing maybe there's some kind of interference with ReplayGain (which I think I have used for most of my ogg files), but that's really nothing more than a random guess.

I hope I'm not imagining things or that my ears play some very mean trick on me. Has anyone else experienced this? Or any ideas where this might come from?

I'll try to go at it systematically, if I happen to find something I'll let you know.

cheers b

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rasa11:
Not sure, havent use it in a long time.

I love the player... but it can't even handle me turning on bass boost without skipping.

Yet Poweramp can handle any settings I throw at it., Bass, EQ, Virtualizer, etc.. No problem.

But turn bass on with N7.. and it skips all over the place. Ridiculous. lol

Since it now seems Doomlord, Cobrato and Oodie have all moved on and will not be continuing their wonderful kernel related contributions to the X10 community, I wondered if there was anyone with the requisite skills and desire to modify the new FXP109 and later CM7/CM9 Kernels to allow for higher clock speeds. My personal experience is that clocking at 1.19GHz is perfectly stable and makes a very noticeable difference in performance. Hopefully someone can and will do it.

Yes, I remember reading your post last year. It was a gutsy move Maverick. And I know FXP won't do it, nor would I expect it. However there has to be someone with the skills to mod the New FXP kernel just as Cobrato did for old FXP kernel. O/C performance differential is more noticeable on CM than on stock to me. It really livens it up. And my internet is out until Monday, so I'm tethering off of my X10. Trying to be frugal but still used over half a gig today. No Netflix till Monday.:) One interesting thing is that I was able to download FXP113 from uploaded.to last night while tethered without using a tunnel or proxy.:confused: Hopefully someone with the skill to do so will mod the new FXP kernel and post it. CM7 is pretty mature by now and would benefit from it. 45 Mflops maybe?

Unless you are in love with the Samsung launcher vs. GOv2's Launcher Pro (or my preferance: download ADW.Launcher), there is no reason not to upgrade to GOv2 and get all the other tweaks in addition to the Kernal.

I know you say you've had trouble in the past, but just try it like this:

1) Boot in to CWM with the GOv2 zip on the sdcard.

2) Check your mounts

3) Run a backup

4) Check your mounts

5) Wipe data, wipe cash, wipe dalvik-cache

6) Check your mounts

7) Flash GOv2

8) Check your mounts

9) Advanced-Restore data partition only

10) Check your mounts

11) Reboot

Best case, everything works great and you just upgraded the Kernal as well as many other good things / tweaks, while still keeping all your apps and all your config.

Worst case, just boot in to CWM and restore what you currently have. You only waste about 15min of your life in trying, and I don't see how GOv2 could have any drawbacks over stock+bali (other then the alternate Launcher and themed icons/widgets - I installed AWD, unthemed all my icons, and I love the transparent-black widgets).

You should NEVER need to Odin unless you can't get in to CWM (which should never happen).

NOTE: When I say check your mounts, each partition on that CWM page should read "unmount" (meaning they are currently mounted). Check your mounts before/after each step, including before the final reboot.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
I know how to check mounts. I want to keep touchwiz because of the themes. I really like the stock themes, and none of the launchers from the market have the option to view the app drawer as a list. if they did, i would consider using one of them. the stock themes are not really what is important. viewing the app drawer as a list is. my process thus far has been as follows: odin to kd1, kies to kj2, root, backup, flash rom, then restore system only from the backup. it hasnt been stable enough so far, but right now i am considering trying it a little different. i am going to get back to stock kj2, then delete all bloatware and all google apps from the system, then backup, then flash, then restore system from the backup, then reinstall any apps i want from the market. I also have the .apk file for play store, so i am also going to delete market and market updater before backing up. then after restoring system, i am just going to install google play store from my sd card. if anyone has any thoughts, please respond soon. i already odined back to kd1, getting ready to do kies to kj2. that takes a few minutes as i have to unplug the phone from the pc and reinstall the drivers through kies.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
But I would prefer to just flash the kernel. I dont see any reason why they wouldnt release it.
