Winamp for Android

[SFC]

Huzzah! I was just complaining to a friend yesterday that my biggest gripe moving from my iphone to android was the music player. Winamp has answered my prayers:

Wonder if the on headphones controls and auto pause on incoming calls work?

The main benefit from what I can see is it will sync with your desktop just like Itunes does with Ipods.

Headphone control. Lockscreen controls*** This is huge for me because I fucking HATE having to unlock the phone to change songs. I have to have a password on my phone for work, so changing a song is a 60 second ordeal. In theory they should support more formats as well (don't know on that for sure yet since the documentation is pretty sparse). Sync over wifi (if your android is connected to the same network as your desktop/laptop, winamp will automatically find it and let you transfer so you don't have to hook it up over USB).

Plus I think the interface is cleaner.

I thought you had the Incredible?

I do, the built-in player won't play anything lossless.

have you tryed hitting it?

Hmmm I guess im not following. I have all my music on my Incredible using the stock media player, and I can change songs from the lock screen.

Edit: But I am testing out Winamp, the wireless sync is pretty sweet.

All my music is in FLAC or lossless .m4a. The built-in media player doesn't support either. Winamp is supposed to be adding FLAC support soon.

So far not totally impressed, fucks with A2SDcard. Not to mention I'd actually have to use winamp on the desktop
