TuTuneMe™ (Music Player) for Android

Great with the ability to change songs, volume etc with gestures and a display that can be customized to you preferences. A landscape orientation that acts just like the portrait orientation, "what a great idea". Keeps my eyes on the road or trail if I am driving or running. Just a couple of quirks. I have to open the built in music app first to "update the library" or the songs you just added may not be there. The use of a bluetooth headset/headphones that have the ability to change songs or volume will interfere with the gesture recongition. The only way I have found around it is to remove and reinstall the app, then remember to reset the repeats and interfaces to my likings.

I loved this when it came out. It was a bit clunky and slow. But I could see what was playing at a glang in the car and navagate with a flick. That put it in the bottom bar on my Touch. But speed or lack of it kills. I have Flick Tunes down there now. Not very customizable but professional looking and lightning fast. At a third the price I recommend it overTuTune me.

I like the customizable themes and the switching between day and night. Also like the large type, which is great for the car. Finally, however, it's a bit iffy as a music player. When I play my entire library on shuffle, the tune changes but the screen doesn't. It's also very easy to get bumped out of the playlist you're in and sent to another. No support e-mail address to ask anyone about this. A shame because it really has a lot of nice features, which will make me try it a bit longer before I abandon it completely.

I looked at tons of different apps trying to find one that looked good and allowed me to play my music in landscape mode. This app is simply the best at doing that. Opus worked fairly good but was extremely ugly and doesn't default in gesture mode. I love how it automatically doesn't lock when it's charging and how you can lock it in landscape mode. Searching for artist or albums works great in landscape mode but when you search by song it automatically goes to portrait mode. Not a big deal since I hardly ever search music that way. Also very customizable with lots of themes. Definately the best alternative I've found to the default music player.

Okay, as of June 2010 this is the best I've found. Here's why: 1. It's pretty customizable. It's the only app I've been able to adapt to my specific needs. 2. I listen in the car. Although there are a number of car-oriented apps, they are generally playlist/artist oriented. 3. I don't use playlists; I think in terms of Albums and Artists. I want to be able to select an album (or an artist and then an album) safely and easily while driving. This app permits that. 4. I was able to assign an up-swipe to the album list. Perfect. I then pick an album, and the rest of the swipes operate against that album. Now we're cooking. 5. All other features are at least as good as those in other apps. Most are better. Being able to resize the album art, for example, is just good thinking. Lots more of that for your money. 6. Although I don't need the social media integration, some might find it useful. I don't know why I'd expect the world to care what song I'm listening to. But if that's your pleasure, it's in the app. 7. The multiple toolbars are an excellent idea, and can be customized/turned off as needed. This organized the interface nicely. Well-considered UI design is the make or break of an app; these guys are on-track. So, overall, I believe this is the one I'll be using going forward. 10 bucks, 12 other apps and lots of research precede this decision. Hope the above will help you.
