What's the best Android phone to use as MP3 player? (self.gadgets)

submitted ago by dyvanu

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Hello, Right now I have a Nokia phone and an iTouch. I want to replace these 2 devices with a single one, capable of all the basic phone stuff, GPS and most important, good mp3 sound quality and 32gb mem card support (doesn't need to be included, just supported). Any suggestions? Are there any difference between all the phones available, or are they all just the same when it comes to audio quality? thanks

I too would love to solve this issue since I am getting a new Verizon Android phone on Sunday and have an iTouch that I would proudly sell since I wouldn't need it anymore.

They are about the same. The hard part for me was replacing software. I use doubletwist player on my phone, Google listen for podcasts, and media monkey to sync.

Well another important part is sync. I really love my iTouch as a media player, but if I had a dying wish, it would be to see iTunes wiped out from the face of the earth. I'm a linux user, so drag-and-drop sync is kind of a must-have. I'm assuming Android does that out of the box. Right now I'm looking into Samsung Spica. Quite affordable and does what I need it to do.

this is the main reason why I am dropping the iphone after my contract is up. It should not be so difficult to control how I interact with music files and applications that I already own and forced backup is ridiculous.

Totally agree! iTunes is horrible.

But, it did encourage me to move to Ubuntu.

Agreed. I don't think any phone particularly makes a better mp3 player. Just look at form factor and hardware specs. Pretty sure they all have 3.5 headphone jacks and rocker volume, and they all run approximately the same software.
