While the default Android and HTC music players still don’t quite hit the spot in terms of look and functionality, we’re also yet to find a third-party music player that feels *right* either. We are TOO FUSSY by far.
So maybe this will. It’s Winamp for Android , the long-running desktop music player that’s now on Android 2.1 phones and higher. Here’s the description:
Winamp for Android (beta) offers a complete media management solution for 2.1 OS & above. Sync your music from the Winamp desktop player over USB or Wi-Fi. Learn more – http://bit.ly/bfLxap.
Other features: persistent audio playback controls, play queue, scrobbling, playlist shortcuts, lock screen & widget player.
And a few of images of it in action:
It’s extremely simple. Doesn’t do any fancy stuff, just plays your music and lets you queue up tracks. Plus there’s a neat little widget. It’s OK! Find it in the Android Market by searching for “Winamp” – it’s the one that’s just called “Winamp”.
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
