Galaxy S3 BEST music player?


Recommended Posts

I just got the Samsung Galaxy S3 and I do not want to use my ipod anymore for music since I have a phone with 16GB and an memory card with 16GB as well. I tried using Winamp and it SUCKS, it is ****, LITERALLY! I was able to put my music in there and then create playlists, but once I wanted to upload them on to my phone it worked for the first one and not the rest of them! it said it has transfered them on to my phone but they do not show up! Only the first playlist I uploaded does. So what should I use? What is the best music player that works properly?

I'm a big fan of Google Play Music, only because I have all my media uploaded on Google's servers. Many people seem to be a fan of doubleTwist, give that a shot. Poweramp is also interesting

are doubleTwist and Poweramp like itunes and winamp and you have a program on your computer and manage the playlists on there and hten put them on your phone?

Not sure about Poweramp, but with doubleTwist, you can add/manage playlists on the device. It's not very intuitive to start a new playlist, but long press on a song, and you get the option to add to playlist, and from there you can create a playlist. Why they don't have the ability to create playlists from the playlists screen is beyond me.

Edit: Just tried the Poweramp trial, and yes, you can add/manage playlists on device.

The Google Play Music app i think is good enough simply because you can host your music in the cloud and play it back using their default player. I have heard good things about Poweramp you can also check out apollo.

get a iPhone5 best of both worlds. :shiftyninja:

but really install Samsung kies, work great for me that way.

S3, the best phone period.

Not quite... Regarding frequency response, the US version of the s3 is neutered only the international version of the S3 has "acceptable" audio quality, from my research ( various audiophiles websites) It would seem:

1. iPhone 4s

2. iPhone 4 and 5.

3. Samsung Ativ S - and Several HTC phones

4. Galaxy Note II

5. S3.

I prefer the stock default music player that comes with the S3, as it hasn't messed up a single time and is very easy to use. I also like to mess around with the "feelings" part and just see what type of song from my list it will play for a certain mood.

But, if you are looking for really the "best", which is an opinion, I would go with PowerAmp. It's a pay for app, but it provides basically everything that WinAmp on the PC gave. If you know your sound settings for the EQ and such, it will be your best friend.

DoubleTwist doesn't work with Galaxy S3 as in you can't use the Desktop app to sync with the phone. You need to buy Airsync to sync stuff.

Give this app called Easy Phone Tunes a shot. It can sync stuff from iTunes directly.

The problem the OP seems to be having is syncing music from her computer to her phone including playlists. Most android music players, like winamp for android, just use android's own mechanism to populate their music libraries, or stream the music from the internet like google play music. Please correct me if I have misunderstood.

I would also be interested in finding out how people manage playlists and sync their music with their computer - is there a foolproof way to do this? I have a Galaxy S2.

    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.
