Ive had a play with most music players (even bought btunes) but find cubed (3) the best.

Its got a good full page widget and auto downloads album art, I find it best changing view mode to morph flow though.

Any ablum art it doesnt pick up or is wrong just long press on the existing art and it will download a selection of alternatives for you to choose, and it looks decent in both landscape and portrait.

This is a good app for FroYo users.

Im fond of Mixzing. Wasnt keen on the rest that i tried tbh.

I tried Mixzing, but it didnt seem to pick up my .wma files. Will try Cubed.

Anyone know the name of the app which shunts whatever you're looking at in chrome on your PC to your android phone?

*edit* nm found it

Cubed is pretty cool but it has no EQ and I think the Samsung music player gives better quality.

EDIT: In saying that, I like how cubed scrobbles to last.fm.

Seems like im having a problem copying over music that is .wma format.

I get this message...

any ideas?

I do copy it, but it just doesnt show up in any of the media players ive tried on my Nexus One.

How do I get mixzing to download the album art? I've set it up to do so in preferences but it's yet to do it...

BoomAM · 8 Aug 2010 at 17:17

Interesting. It doesn't appear to be doing it at all for me.

Have you used any album art apps in the past?
I had to remove a folder called .albumart from my SD card for it to start working.

There was one I used for cubed. Just deleted it now though.

I have album art that was loaded on with the records I put on. Will I have to delete those too? They're just in the root folders for each album, mind you...
