Back at Google IO 2010, we got a sneak peak at the company’s next generation music player to be included in the Android mobile operating system. The software wowed us with its ability to stream and download music from a users home desktop and the subtle but distinguished user interface refinements. Now, thanks to the folks of at xda-developers, we’re getting another look at the software on video. The new music player utilizes the foggy, transparent background effect seen in-use by Android’s stock picture gallery, has a more intuitive layout, and utilizes a nifty little equalizer animation to denote which track is currently playing. The video is waiting for you after the break and, for the those consummate alpha-testers, the apk file is over at xda-developers (no, sadly it does not include the awesome streaming feature). Enjoy!

      Let’s exercise what I like to call “logical thought”. If this were already the player on the Nexus S, why would it need to be leaked out?

    Not really that awesome of a player, i tried it out last night when i saw the link on engadet and installed it. Its ok, but until it can stream its tied for the second best player on my HTC DRIOD INCREDIBLE, tied with the HTC player and behind WINAMP. Because WINAMP can wirelessly stream to my phone while im at home. When the google player gets the internet streaming working, then ill take another look at it.

    I already use the best music player on the market. POWER AMP! With it’s Eq and custom themes and album artwork search. The stock players don’t compair. Google should just buy power amp and include it as the stock player. MOTODROID USER

    Looks like they are finally figuring out that being able to do everything on the screen when you are in an application is a better experience than having to use the Menu and Back buttons all of the time.

    Takes up lots of memory space. That is not acceptable.

    It looks pretty swanky, but I liked PowerAMP enough to actually buy it. I just want a lock screen widget and something that will stream my library over 3G.

      I like the player in the newest version of D1-MIUI.
