Alternative Music Player

[patstar5]

I got a Lumia 520 to try out WP. I find the stock music app hard to use. Is there another app that can manage my local music on my phone? I don't mean radio service or apps that do free downloads. I mean apps that read music from internal memory and SD card.

I've moved this thread to the Nokia Lumia 520 forum, since that should help members to see your threads and provide answers for you.

Might I ask what issues you are having with the Music+Videos app? You can try using Nokia MixRadio otherwise.

Compared to the music app on my iPhone, the windows phone own lacks features and is complicated. I hope Microsoft fixes it. For some reason all my songs show up 3x. I cannot easily make a playlist and add music to my phone. So I was looking for alternative apps that manage local music library and lets you create playlists and edit them on the phone. I guess I need to delete all my music and resync with my laptop to get rid of 3x issue?
I think I found something but it isn't local. I spent about 2 hours looking for something and found plex. I finally got it set up and can stream my iTunes from my MacBook Pro. But it would need to always be running. So I am thinking of putting my music on my cracked 32gb asus t100 tablet and streaming from there.
