Android What music player do you use?

[AmandaRose]

Bought and tried numerous Android music players and Rocket Player is by far the best the others don't even come close.

i always used the built in android player

But that's not the built in player as I doubt that would have ads and IAPs.

It is, I don't have ads, it's a shortcut for the internal player

Nope, I've just downloaded it, I definitely didn't have a music player like that before, it has ads and it asked for storage permission, something Google Play Music, my real default music player, wouldn't have done, for it's a system app with those permissions granted by default.

Usually use spotify for the few podcasts I still listen to, but Youtube Vanced is great for skipping youtube ads.

If it's a local file I'll use VLC media player.

 

[KokoseiJ]

On my phone, Usually spotify or youtube vanced, sometimes Nicobox if I feel like a weeb.

In my computer, It's just firefox with an adblocker most of the time. I once made a CLI youtube player because I thought youtube was a distraction, which is blocked by youtube. I'm not maintaining it anymore.

EDIT: nvm it's android forum

 

[Mythical]

I just use youtube

Oh dear, this is an ancient version from, like, Ice Cream Sandwich or earlier that isn't preloaded on phones anymore. (Based on the fact that my Chinese AOSP-running ICS tablet has it.)

i have never seen ads, its just a shortcut to the installed player (if one is installed),

i installed the player itself along with the shortcut

does everything i need it to, auto scans all storage media, and supports most audio formats, and plays them, dont fix what ain't broke

I use the Audify Music Player on my android phone since I like the feat. it provides (drive mode, and able to add image to the music file.) Only thing I don't like about the app is the ads. that appear (only when wi-fi/data is enabled.)

It is an unofficial build (with changed package id, of course, and maybe a few tweaks - usually of the widget and/or notification) of the AOSP music app, com.android.music - there are a few ones, or if you want a 100% unmodified one you can find the package id I mentioned on f-droid

Would use that if it had better AVRCP support, but of course it's not google if they don't abandon AOSP apps in favor of proprietary ones

 

[OnLeeToo]

I start using musixmatch because of the lryic feature and translate options built in which is powerful and awesome

 

[ChiefReginod]

foobar2000, because it's free, has no ads and is infinitely more powerful than whatever piddly stock player comes preinstalled. Google are not very good at making these kinds of apps.

Also, Droidsound-E for game music.

I use an android app called playerpro. you can get a free or full paid version, has limited skins for colour themes but the functionality itself is great!

i cant say if there is a song limit on playlists as i dont really max mine over 40 songs per, you can default to show albums, artists, songs, playlists.. use your own artwork or net search within to select it, a good smart playlist function where you can select songs based on certain criteria if you use the full info on id3 tags

I use my Zune 120GB that I have had since High school, still works and kicks ass.

For home I also have vinyl, and a Technics SL-J2 for my player.

I use the android's main player, but I also add an Equalizer to give it an UMPH to the sound.

By ‘Android's main player’ you mean the AOSP music player, which hasn't been updated since, like Android 2.1?

What comes with it naturally. Not ones that are added to the phone. n No not that one pictured.

How is the battery life? Have you had to replace the battery yet?

On Android, I used to use Retro Music Player, which had basic playlist and ratings features etc. as well as some basic metadata editing!
