Droid Incredible for Music

[JJackson2010]

All other Verizon phones I've had have been really horrible for listening to music. How is the Droid Incredible? Is it possible? If so, how is it?

The Droid has an adequate music player in it. If you're looking for iPod functionality, you'll be sorely disappointed, I'm afraid. I use mine a lot because the whole "one device" thing works well for me in the car, but it doesn't hold a candle to my iPod. There are alternative players available in the market, but none of them will probably compare to an iPod.

Thank you for the input. I have an iTouch but I would rather store all my media on my Droid Incredible.

Exact same situation here. I travel so much for work, it's just more convenient to only carry one device. I only wish that I could have the full functionality of my touch instead of the seemingly "stripped down" player that you get with the Droid. I mean, it pretty much has the basics - playlists, shuffle, sort by artist, song, etc, but not much beyond that. No sound adjustments or anything. Playlist creation on the phone is a pretty clunky experience too.

Like I said, it does the job, but it's not pretty.

I wonder when iPod and functionality started being used together in a positive light.  It has always amazed me how people worshiped iPod.  Yeah it was a cool device but when it came out technologically it was the most limited and limiting music player on the market.  It took off because well Apple is a marketing giant and they do it really awesome.  It became cool simply because Apple said it was.  Because of its popularity digital music has been in a downward spiral of one way transfers and a single control that operates everything.  So yeah the media players of which there are a ton on the market will have more controls and make it easier to find stuff so you will hate it.  It isn't like the iPod at all.
