Hive Player is a music player optimized for tablets and phones. Hive Player is compatible with Tablets running Honeycomb (3.1) and up and phones running Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) and up. It supports many of the features of the built in player but also includes a few things that have been lacking in most players across Android versions.
Features:
-Scrollable widget with music collection navigation (Albums,Artists,Songs,Playlists,Genres,Folders),shuffle,pause/play,next, previous and album art.
-Widget and Player sync with each other - view an album in the widget, then in the player the same album is loaded. Every navigation and song play is synced to each other - even when only the widget or player is running, load the other and it will sync on startup.
-Play and navigate music library using just the widget - player doesn't even need to be loaded or running.
-Albums,Artists,All Songs,Playlists,Genres are displayed on the left and player controls on the right.
-Multi-Select playlist additions - build a playlist as it should be done, not one song at a time - add multiple albums, artists, genres, songs and even current playlists to a playlist.
-Duplicates are filtered out when adding to playlists.
-Search with playlist additions - search and keep searching as you build the ultimate playlist. Search appears over player.
-Notification controls with album art
Tested devices:
Nexus 7 (Jelly Bean 4.1)
Galaxy Nexus (Jelly Bean 4.1.1)
Motorola Xoom (Honeycomb 3.0-3.2 to Jelly Bean 4.1)
I plan on continuing work on Hive Player with regular updates with new features and bug fixes. If you have any issues or find any bugs please email me at nfalletta@gmail.com with a full description and I will fix the problem as soon as possible.
Thanks for downloading Hive Player, I hope you enjoy it.

Love it and its beautiful widget too. I wish if music progress strip line will be added in its widget to move forward the song along with volume + and - .It would be the best. Any way its a very nice music player. Keep it up :-)

That makes good use of the real estate by splitting the screen between list and player, and I love the new look and feel, but: A) need to add the artist name to the last of songs and albums, and B) the main problem for me is the lack of support for m3u playlists, and its not sufficient to import them, need to be able to read them in real time

This would be a great music player except it doesnt recognize physical || or >>. (Backward, play/pause, and forward buttons) Such a simple thing that all other decent music players have. I would happily but this app if they implemented it

I dont know what you guys are complaining about. It clearly says it'll stop playback after a minute. Love the interface on my Galaxy Tab 10.1.

Well, I wanted a music player that was better than the stock standard player and looked at the reviews for the Hive Player. I found the lite version and will review it more but right up front it started quickly, picked up all my music and played it all. Sorting genre, artists, songs and playlists is all working as advertised. If you're looking for a recommendation, go straight for the full version, I am now.

The paid version still does not work. The program sets the volume to 0 when started and can't sort by track number. Updates are promised but never delivered...
