Is there a music player which works flawlessly?

[Sunandan Mahant]

I am sick of Xbox Music[WP8.1](takes a lot of time to load and lacks in few functionalities) and Nokia Mixradio(takes a lot of time to load, lacks audio scrubbing and sluggish). Is there an alternative which will work flawlessly???

Not sure if this app completes your needs, but I find "Cool Music Player" pretty

Correction: This app started playing some random music while another track is already playing. Appears to be some bug after I updated it last time. So, this is not the app I would recommend you

LISTEN seems to be a great replacement. Cool music player is just fine.

"8.1 Music" is quiet good. Works very well for me and the developer is preparing a big update, so it'll (hopefully) get even better. It's skinable and you'll get a very nice touch that fits your need because there are already some skins to chose from.

A downside: If you have a big library (eg >1000 files) it can get a bit slow the first time. But after scanning all music once is VERY fast. So, not the best player if you have a big AND an often changing library.

Why none of the 3rd party music players have equalizer settings?

If you have Lumia that supports equalizer then the app will have it in settings.

I have tried all alternative music player apps and the best I found is LISTEN

The UI looks good, will it be able to load the music lists fast like the old Xbox music app? Then looking forward to give it a try.

Yeah, I'm disgusted. They threw out all functionality for our own music library in the Music app and same for our own TV show and movie library in the Xbox Video app. I don't want to see another update for either addressing
Streaming..... So sick of that. Star good or personal libraries experience !

 

[Dan Tobias1]

Its sick i feel so stupid now i have to go back a find my old mp3 player in storage to play my A.Books and music. i dont want streaming dont give a **** about it!!!!

Mix radio app works fine and plays the music u have on your phone if you have a Lumia

 

[Dan Tobias1]
