mitebbots Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Something with Thai support. Also play Flac files. Lyrics would be nice. Most devices would have KitKat or earlier. Amazing how most never get updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robblok Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I just use a android player that plays the songs straight from Gdrive or dropbox (so I dont have to have my collection on my phone) and with the bluetooth send it straight to my headset, great for training. But I am looking for a player like that that will allow me to make playlists on my windows machine and use it on the phone. (still find working behind a computer and managing my collection central the best option) Ideally i like to have my music on the cloud so i can stream it (as long as I am home or somewhere with good a good internet connection), the player i found now does that but has no support for windows.

(still find working behind a computer and managing my collection central the best option) Yes, I like to be able to create my folders and direct the play to only the folders I choose. Not just puke up every mp3 in the phone and force me to whittle down the choices. I don't give a crap about playlists, I play an album and then I play another album. I don't have time to play DJ. I would also appreciate an app that has a clear exit button. This way when you want to shut it off completely it is done in one click. Not just have it paused and waiting to jump back into action. Maybe I don't know Android like I should, but I am annoyed by not being able to close apps instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I don't know Android like I should, but I am annoyed by not being able to close apps instantly. The app that I have lets you make folders on say dropbox and then you can play the complete folder. So you don't need to store it on your pone (unless you really want too). But for my use (having music during training sessions) its ok. I have wifi everywhere i want to play my music. The reason i talked about playlist is that it gives a bit more flexibility. If i want to close on my S5 i just hit a button and get all open apps and just close the ones i like to close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I get what your are saying about closing apps that way, but I wish they could just provide an X in a corner. It seems to me app makers want you on all the time and make it hard to just quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be different on your phone. the player i use is called beat.. not the best one but good for my use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straycat911 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Musixmatch is the best and has lyrics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schondie Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I'd go for AIMP. I used it with Windows and then saw it in the Play Store. Simple and stable but no lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipperylobster Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Here is something I do...and find quite convenient. I put a search application...called "Everything" on my windows laptop. It can be set up as a server. Once I get that set, I turn on the Http Server. All I need is the IP number of my laptop. You can do this away from home but you would have to port forward on your router page. If you are at home, you just use the 192.168.1.?(whatever your laptop is on) You just type in you laptop ip into your broswer and bam....you can control the "Everything" program on your laptop. Now you just search for the songs you like... *aerosmith*.* pulls up all their tunes. *love*.mp3 pulls all songs up with "love" in the title you have to read the simple search variables that you have. I can add a folder named "light rock", etc. Can search for anything you want...music, docs, videos, etc....and open on your android. All quick and free. Another way is to use "Spashtop" app. Works with windows. You control your laptop remotely, but you can make the sound come out of your android !!! LOL. You connect, pick the option to have sound come out of android...and you just play your playlist on wmp or whatever you are running on your laptop. simple.

slipperylobster Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Grooveshark is another great way to play music free....just need wifi and your browser. Edited October 5, 2015 by slipperylobster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katipo Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Poweramp can play FLAC and is highly customisable. It doesn't do lyrics though, at least as far as I am aware. Will run on KitKat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvr181 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 VLC player? But no lyrics as far as I know - does playlists and will play virtually in file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats4ever Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I believe a new Chromecast is being released specifically for music. Might be worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
