Brilliant Media Player app

errlloyd

I just downloaded an app called MixZing free off market and I think its sweet.

Its basically a media player but has a few little tricks, some of which I am still trying to work out, the two things I like the most is its playlist generator, and lock screen widget.

Right so the playlist generator analyses the song you are listening to, and builds a playlist of similar music. If you have a large music library I think this feature is something you'll really enjoy.

The lock screen widget is just a mini player that comes up before the "slide here to unlock" screen, allowing you to pause, play, skip ect.

I have only been used it plugged in at home so I dunno how it is for battery but seems pretty cool

Oh one other thing, it seemed to be playlisting me music I don't have for a while, possibly streaming. Its stopped now but that might have raped my data plan.

Have been using MixZing for a while now, miles ahead of all the others I tried, even the much vaunted Cubed....excellent app

I'm using mixzing as well. I love the lock screen widget.

The only thing I don't like its that sometimes the wrong album art displays when I browse the library.

Handy tip, in settings, disable "wake on change"

I found it kept opening the lock widget after every track and hence pausing/skipping

But you have to pay for the lock screen widget after the trial?

How much is the full version, nothing showing up in the market.

It won't show up in the market because Google doesn't like Irish money....







Google only allow users to use Google Shopper (which is how people pay for apps), and Google Shopper isn't available in Ireland, so we don't see paid apps. The workaround is to put a UK/US simcard in your phone, and use wifi to access the market! Or if you're rooted market enabler will do the trick

market enabler no longer works. from 2.2 onwards use market access.

Just needed to set my provider to t-mobile us. App is $6.99
