hooooly crap Engadget, thank you, this is exactly what i've been waiting for. btunes and the default android app can go suck it.]]>Jun 3rd 2010 6:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/
All this needs is a widget and lock screen controls and I'm a complete convert, not a fan of the htc media player either really.]]>Jun 3rd 2010 7:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/
The Windows version of their desktop app is a janky resource hog, and the Android app has nothing on the default audio player.

Play at your own risk.]]>Jun 3rd 2010 8:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/
I tried the DoubleTwist App and it's pretty useless.

- Won't allow me to ignore folders (like ringtones and soundFX folders for games).
- Video browsing is portrait, and does not auto-rotate, while video playback is horizontal.
- Can't delete, manage files that I could see from the list view.
- Couldn't create playlists that I could tell.

It adds the ability to Auto-Enable USB mounting and lists video and music in one app, but that is not at all worth it for me. It also has a different, Apple-like UI, but it looks basic to me, and I could care less if the app itself is useless and I still have to rely on the stock app to be fully functional.

Also requires "Phone state and identity" and "Full Internet Access" for some unknown reason.]]>Jun 3rd 2010 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/Jun 3rd 2010 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/Jun 3rd 2010 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/Jun 3rd 2010 5:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/
Unfortunately this is equally rubbish – it also gets WMA tracks in the wrong order, omits some album art for no discernible reason, and does not have gapless playback.

I'm struggling to see what the point is.]]>Jun 3rd 2010 8:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/
You're using WMA tracks... that's the reason]]>Jun 3rd 2010 8:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/
Meanwhile, download Museek for free which DOES list WMAs in the right order, DOES find your album art, DOES (attempt to do) gapless playback, and has a neat 3D genre browsing system too.]]>Jun 3rd 2010 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/If you use WMA for your media files, you blew it.]]>Jun 3rd 2010 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/Jun 3rd 2010 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/Jun 3rd 2010 5:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/Jun 3rd 2010 6:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/Dear Sir,

Color me not impressed. I'll use Astro Player for the time being, skinnable, graphic EQ, it's much better than this for my needs.]]>Jun 3rd 2010 6:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/Jun 3rd 2010 6:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/Jun 3rd 2010 6:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/Jun 3rd 2010 6:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/...try MixZing
