Music player alternatives for iOS 7

Hi everybody,

A few days ago I finally took the plunge and upgrade to iOS 7 on my phone. I figured that it's been months since iOS 7 first came out, most of the bugs should have been fixed. So I upgraded and now:

>I immediately regret my decision

Reason? The music player app. For some reason the folks at Apple thought it would be a good idea to a) add album art to every playlist, so that you can only see 4 playlists/songs on the screen at a time and b) remove the feature that allowed you to view the complete song name when you pressed down on a song. So now all of my songs have effectively turned into undecidable problems such as "Piano Sonata No....", "Piano Concerto No....", or "Prelude and Fugue..." etc. I have no idea who is doing the software development at Apple but he/she needs to take an arrow to the knee an axe to the head.

So my question is, does anybody know any good alternative freeware apps for playing music? It doesn't need to have any bells and whistles. In fact I would actually prefer it to be as lightweight as possible, something like foobar2000 for example. It really just needs to have 2 features:

1. Plays preconfigured playlists (I do all my playlist configuration in iTunes)
2. Has some way of viewing the full name of a song

If worst comes to worst I will probably just downgrade back to iOS 6. But since downgrading an entire OS just for one app is nonideal (and I bet the folks at Apple will have done their best to make downgrading as difficult as possible), I'd be eternally grateful if somebody has a good app recommendation.

Cheers!

It's a bit unlikely since Apple used to ban many third party applications that did the same thing as Apple apps. It's not the case anymore, but they're still preventing you to set a third party browser/email app as your default browser/email app...
That must have discouraged many developers to put a lot of efforts in a music player app I guess.

There are many decent players in Cydia. Just jailbreak it...
I'm taking whatever coverage I can get, because frankly, I'm busy working on this million dollar deal at my job. Early retirement is a good thing brotha man. - MessengerASL
