Apollo Brings CyanogenMod’s Official Music Player to All Android Devices

Android: Cyanogen's built-in music player is much better than the stock Android player, and now it's available for all devices at Google Play, rooted or no. It's debut comes packed with added features, like voice search, automatic artist and album art image fetching, gapless playback, homescreen and lockscreen widgets, and the ability to pin your favorite tunes to your homescreen.

Apollo comes in two flavors, an ad-supported free version, and Apollo+, a $0.99 version that pulls out the ads and entitles you to faster updates from the developer. Both versions offer the same features otherwise though. The app features gestures to move between screens, a persistent player on the bottom, super-fast search, notification playback controls, headset control support, and more. Everyone gets homescreen widgets, while Ice Cream Sandwich devices get lockscreen widgets and Jelly Bean devices get Lockscreen player controls.

Before you shell out for the paid version, give the free version a spin. If you've ever run CyanogenMod on an Android device, you may be familiar with the player, and if you currently are, you already have it. The app doesn't support third party services yet and only plays local music right now (so no Google Music for you,) but the dev says upcoming releases will bring tablet support, Last.fm scrobbling, the ability to specify your own media directories, customizable widgets and controls, and more
