Want to supercharge your stock music player? If you’re on a jailbroken iPhone, check out Aria. It’s a new Cydia tweak that adds a number of new improvements to the stock Music.app in iOS 7.1, including the ability to see albums in a grid view, a new ‘Now Playing’ interface (like in Apple’s Remote app), an ‘Endless Playing’ feature that will start a shuffled play after an album ends, improved lyrics views, and a number of UI improvements, including gestural support.
Here’s what Aria looks like running in action (the video’s in French, unfortunately, but the narration’s not important):

If you’re interested in Aria, it can be downloaded from the stock BigBoss repo in Cydia for $1.99.

Nobody outside Apple knows how the iOS 8 music player will be, so the headline here is total bullshit!
But if you dont want to jailbreak your phone, there’s Harken For iPhone with exactly these features.
i.e gestural support, album art in a grid, but bigger fonts and easier to hit buttons, so it’s perfect in the car where I use it most of the time.
Does it integrate into your music app? No? Well,its shit
