Which music player does /g/ use?
Black player
I use BlackPlayer. It's kind of shit to navigate and change what you're currently playing, but it is actually quite intelligent, downloading photos of the band/artist as well as a bio. Pretty feature rich, and not too heavy on permissions.
I just cannot fucking stand the default player, it's basically an integrated store that also plays music. I just want something simple like the iPhone music player, something that isn't a store, and doesn't require every permission under the sun.
>>53783184
This.
They're all shit, but Phonograph is the least shitty one.
>>53783184
I just use the HTC one, it works fine, and doesn't try to sell me shit
PowerAmp
Far from perfect but Vanilla is the one I've been Mr l most happy with.
It's really annoying how there's no good music players. It's not quite as bad on desktop but the phenomenon exists there as well. I should start making one myself so there's one more shitty one out there.
I bought GMMP few years ago as no other player supported opus at that time, would use vanilla music but it still doesn't support opus on android 5.
Sony Walkman
I use PowerAmp because it's the only one that lets me sort my music by folders. Sucks it doesn't have material design though.
Music from CyanogenMod
Power Amp, it's the shit.

>two clocks
But why?
>>53783184
Phonograph is nice now but it will soon go bad. There's already a system for in-app purchases in it.
If only it was FOSS.
>>53783454
get the material design skin. I can't even look at the default ui anymore. search for poweramp skins and there will be one called material or something
>>53784287
Why not?
>>53784287
I can't read the top one easily, I'm practically blind.
>>53783389
It seems Vanilla relies on Android's decoding utilities for playback and that Opus support is/was borked there.
Could anyone running Marshmallow shed some light on if it's been fixed?
How come only vanilla has replay gain, why do all these big players not have the most basic feature, and the tiny foss one has it while being clunky as fuck?
>>53783184
JUST
>>53783184
Stock player from CM is good enough for me, wish it had opus support though
>>53784888
Nice shitpost
>>53784894
>what is just player
>>53783215
>>53783273
Pressing back closes the app. This is annoying.
>>53784892
Where can I download this player? All I find on xda are outdated versions
>>53785083
For that purpose black player is pretty gud.
VLC, as it's FOSS and supports .opus files.
>>53784836
Why does no one ever comment on this, do you guys even know replay gain?

They're all trash. Android is probably the worst platform for playing music I've ever used on a mobile device
>15 step volume
>Every music player has some major flaw with it
Examples
>Special snowflake UI that's absolute shit (PowerAmp, n7)
>Inability to change something as simple as album art or photos of the artist (Google Music and all its clones)
>Retarded bullshit like players which list the tracks on an album in ALPHABETICAL ORDER (Half of the Google Music clones on the play store it seems. Phonograph being the best example)
>No gapless (Pretty much everything except poweramp)
I mean Apple got it right in fucking 2007. Why can't Android developers get it right? It's so fucking stupid.
The LG Stock app is good enough for me.
>>53785892
you can change GPM album info through the desktop web client, but i agree it should be accessible through the mobile app (including uploading music)
>>53785927
That would require me to upload my music. That requires me to use the shitty uploader client as well as using MP3. Fuck both of those.
>>53785946
iirc it's not only mp3, i think it's flac and aac that's supported too.
agreed though, I attempt to avoid the uploading music part and just search for it and it to my library. if it's not on there ill upload it
>>53785968
Everything that isn't MP3 you upload to their servers gets converted to 320Kbps CBR MP3s, which is completely fucking useless for anything. They should have at least used -v1.
Spotify because I'm not a poor fag
Black Player, aka the only acceptable choice.
>>53785983
is your library mostly lossless?
>>53784836
uh GoneMad has replaygain controls, and I'm pretty sure poweramp does today least.
BlackPlayer Pro.
I tried lots of different ones, and this one was a pleasant surprise.
Get it.
>>53786013
On my home server yes, but I use AAC on my phone and main computer because I'm a Macfag. If I was still using Linux I'd try to use Opus. If I couldn't' use Opus I'd use Vorbis instead.
The only thing I use MP3 for is when I absolutely can't find the album in any other format.
I use equalizer +
>>53785892
besides for the 15 step volume GoneMad has none of these issues. I'm curious, what's wrong with it?
>>53786056
Looks like I left a review saying it had an awful UI, but it seems like they fixed that.
Can't do anything about it since my trial ran out. I'll just keep using my Clip+.
Poweramp FTW
Cyanogenmod music
Anyone else get the corrupted Unicode apostrophe like in pic related? I've had this happen with a couple different players
>>53783273
>>53783273
This man is correct.
I used winamp before they cut off mobile support and then removed it altogether. Black Player is the closest that comes to matching Winamp.
Plus -- like anon said -- it has all the neat album covers and bios and shit like that. The only thing lacking is a shuffle feature when playing songs normally. It's basic I know but the only way to shuffle music is to hit the "shuffle playlist" button. There's no way to start on your favourite song and then make it shuffle from there.
Otherwise, solid player.

Example of Blackplayer
Neutron is the only music player done right and the only one with a parametric EQ.
>>53783184
AIMP ^.^
I use neutron and i use features like 64 bit proccessing and pic related, but the ui is absolutely atrocious and the back android button exits the app. Does Poweramp mirror Neutron's extensive features? Thinking of switching.
>>53785042
You can't it's the stock player
>>53784892
It really is a good music player. I like how the colour of the bars changes to the most eye catching colour in the album art.
>>53787228
Why aren't you using viper4android for eq purposes?
>>53787518
Forgot pic.
>there are dozens of Android music players; even FOSS ones
>none of them are good
>most can't even play .opus
Why are Android developers so bad at music apps?
>>53787518
>Does Poweramp mirror Neutron's extensive features? Thinking of switching.
Not even closer, shit doesn't even support Opus.
>>53787557
>Why aren't you using viper4android for eq purposes?
I only need EQ on my phone for the music player and only in 2 points with a Q of 0.5 and 0.7 so a parametric one like Neutrons is perfect.
I don't recall Viper having a parametric EQ, and the lack of one is also the only thing keeping me from using Linux.
>>53783273
This.
The paid version is better.
>>53787420
Just tried the desktop version, I love it. Thank you anon I am masturbating over the thought of you now.
>>53787627
Have you managed to make Neurons ui and scrolling? If so I'd love to know your settings.
>>53787743
I control my music by holding the volume buttons and the lockscreen notification thing so the UI is not an issue for me but i do agree that is fucking ugly.
The scrolling thing is somewhat annoying yes but I'll take that little nuisance for the only player in Android with a param EQ, crossfeed and normalization every day.
>>53787813
I feel similar, the features are the only thing keeping me on the player. Are the button scroll settings in the player or is this some pajeet hacker features you've implemented?
>>53787129
You can change the colour of the notification text, you know.
doubletwist
>>53783184
Congrats, you posted the best one.
>>53788230
It's Pajeet style, the "Physical button music controls" Xposed module.
>>53788382
Last question for neutron bro. Any way to make it so the back hardware button doesn't exit the app? This is the worst feature. I'd like it to go to the previous menu like a normal application.
>>53785892
>15 step volume
GravityBox fixes this if you have root and Exposed. Poweramp UI is ok if you use material skin and customize it to your liking.
>>53788450
Every time I've used exposed it always took a few tries to actually get it to work. Then it stops working with each ROM update.
I'd rather not. I'm just going to get an iPhone.
>>53783184
Google Play Music
I can't bring all my music with me, and 320k mp3 is fine if I'm away from home.
>>53788439
>I'd like it to go to the previous menu like a normal application
Weird, it works like that for me.
The only screen where the back button exits the app is in the main screen, where the album art is and if you mean that, dunno, as i mentioned earlier i got used to manage the player by shortcuts instead of the app.
>>53788588
I'm using the onelplus x which has hardware buttons instead of on screen, so it may just be for this phone.
wtf is this shit?
>>53788660
I have the on screen buttons disabled because fuck that shit, running Pie Controls.
AIMP werks for me but I could use just use VLC if it came down to it.
Shuttle+.
Just tried BlackPlayer and still prefer the interface of Shuttle. I want my player to be fast to use, intuitive and functional, pretty doesn't really factor into it all that much. EQ is handled by V4A anyway.
Apple Music
>>53783184
The stock Android one
Never had a reason to download an alternative
Juk because I'm lazy. Used to use cmus.
Spotify.
>>53785042
Download cm apps on play store, you will find music app inside
>>53783184
VLC everywhere in everything
>>53788858
I've used both for some considerable time, and Shuttle is buggy. Some albums get the wrong artwork, others won't download their artwork at all, albums and artists won't file in correct alphabetical order when you add new music to your device, etc.
It looks nice and it is organized well but the bugs drove me to BlackPlayer, which has never had any bugs ever for me.

none, its preference.
>>53789531

>>53789517
>good reasons
These are subjective as fuck according to each individual.
For me there's Opus support and a parametric EQ.
>>53783347
I feel like the "random song" is really shit, it keeps repeating the same songs out of the 1500 available ones
Phonograph
Its cute and just werks
Google play music. Streaming, support for your personal library, free YouTube red, artist/genre stations, suggestions, time of day station suggestions
>>53791348
This.
It's not easy to tote around hundreds of gigs of music, so this is the next best thing.
>>53783287
I got sick of this downloading its own images and album covers, so I switched to BlackPlayer.
>>53791533
You can turn that off you know
>>53784892
>Coldplay
>Fallout 4 OST
Your taste sucks.
>>53783184
Cyanogenmod's music and Rhythmbox. They do what I need them to.
This thread got me to download phonograph, thanks everyone <3
>>53791685
Funny, I just did the same. Almost feels like I may have fell for some possible shilling, but I don't even mind.
Play Music and I subscribe monthly. It's just easier than having to organize/import local library. I can just upload whatever niche shit they don't have that I listen to. YouTube Red is a nice bonus as well.
Pulsar is really good, in my opinion
How does /g/ manage their music?
Spotify + PowerAmp
Neutron every day of the week and twice on Sundays

Use an id3 tag editor and remove the unicode bit and add your apostrophe manually.
