Steve Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I'm currently using PlayerPro. It's pretty slick. It's customisable without overwhelming you with options. It's skinnable and has a nice selection of widgets. It will pull in info/artwork/lyrics from the web if you want it to. It plays all kinds of formats including FLAC, does gapless playback etc. Here's the main player view: - http://i.imgur.com/JnqHNOq.jpg Large home screen widget with shuffle/repeat buttons. Tapping the widget takes you into track listing view, although that's customisable: - http://i.imgur.com/ZEjGJLc.jpg Track listing view: - http://i.imgur.com/1us1xql.jpg Album list view. You can customise this view so you can have it as a list instead of a grid. You can also customise the tabs at the top - I only use Albums and Artists: - http://i.imgur.com/gdzH7Mh.jpg If you hold your finger down on the right-hand side and slide it up and down, a letter of the alphabet appears so you can quickly get to the exact album you want: - http://i.imgur.com/AqhrVku.jpg Artist view. I use an expandable list here, so you can tap an artist to view all of their albums: - http://i.imgur.com/oONnJx2.jpg You can also choose to put controls in the notification area and the lock screen: - http://i.imgur.com/S5IoqjQ.jpg It's not free, but it's only £3.25: - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tbig.playerpro&hl=en There's a trial version here: - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tbig.playerprotrial What do you guys use?

doppelkorn Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I used to use Winamp which was good as I recall. Free as well but the widget broke for literally 6 months once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savwar Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 are you still using this? or have you found a better one?can you play stuff at like 1.1x and 1.2x speeds, without chipmunk vocals? i prefer listening to podcasts and audiobooks at faster speeds.i guess i'll just download the trial anyway...

Steve Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 I am still using it, but for podcasts and audiobooks I would recommend DoggCatcher, which does have the ability to speed up playback without chipmunk vocals up to 1.5x. PlayerPro is really just for music playback, but DoggCatcher is a proper podcast handler with support for audio, video and news feeds.

savwar Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 cool man thanks. i'll give that a try.vlc can do it too, but its not great as a podcast player... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-Se7en Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I use a few player pro for mixes, poweramp for singles, carcast for podcasts just prefer to have separate players for different music types which means finding your place is easier should you want a change of style etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 ^^That doesn't make much sense to me mate, haha. Different players for different music styles?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-Se7en Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 ,means I can pause a mix, play some other stuff or listen to a podcast without losing my place, then pick up where I left off. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
