Thanks!

There is one option that I know of: AndLess, but only if you use an image file with a Cuesheet. Meridian also supports Cuesheets, but I haven't been able to achieve gapless here. I think that Meridian inherited the code from AndLess, and AndLess hasn't been developed since March 2010.
But: Rockbox is on it's way. And that has gapless and more features otherwise than even most hardware MP3 players. But it is early days yet. The current version works, but on my phone the playback stutters. I don't know if the problem is specific for my phone, which is a HTC Tattoo.

In case anyone is interested, I've created a simple patch to add scrobbledroid support to the Rockbox Android port. Here's a link:

is there an app that would allow me to play lossless audio like flac? if not.. what format should i convert it to in order to maintain that quality?
or would wave.. be the only option to keep that quality?
PowerAMP is the only player I've encountered that can play FLAC, and the poor UI stops me from using it https://market.android.com/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer&feature=related_apps
Once we're rooted though, I'm told Cyanogenmod builds in FLAC support. Android 3.1 is the first version to officially build it in.

Poor UI ? Really ?
I say PowerAmp is THE music app. Fully customizable EQ, flac support and much, much more. I have used it for over a year now and love it. Never listen to someone that says someone else told them. (quoted poster)

Just came across another option listed in a different thread. AudioGalaxy is free, plays flac, and allows streaming all your music from your PC to your phone. I just set it up and it's very cool. Worth checking out.
I had a moment and found the discussion I had read previously regarding FLAC support in Cyanogenmod. It's there, as long as your FLAC files are 16-bit.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/1850-playing-flac/
Hello,
can anybody tell me how to play flac files, especially with BubnleUPNP and MortPlayer.?
By the way I rooted my Tab with the Method 2 from the according Thread.
Cheers

When I had an Android phone I bought Power Amp, that app ruled, it played any audio I threw at it, well worth the money. For video I use Dice Player on the A700, and that also supports FLAC.
Okay together with the guy from BubbleUPNP we found out that the default player crashes with an unknown exception. I rooted my tablet and deleted some apps. Maybe I deleted to much. Does anyone knows what is needed to play flac.?

Thanks to the BubbleUPNP Support I have following information for peolpe who may have the same problems.
I noticed that some FLAC files do play and some don't.
These flacs do not play on Android because they are non-Subset FLACs, a variety of FLAC that
may not play by all decoders.
I've created an issue for Google to hopefully add support for them:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35348
Short explanation: these FLACs where probably encoded with the --lax option of the FLAC encoder.

I have the same problem. I head read somewhere else that it was the inclusion of ID3 tags that caused them to not play but I removed the ID3 tags and they still didn't play. I hope that Google resolves the issue in one of the next updates.
Hello, Im new to android and new to MX Player as well. When I first use this app I did not regard it as usefull, but after sometime I again download it and try to compare with other Video player and atlast I got my favurite Video Player.
Anyway, thanks for developing such a wonderful and powerfull video player. May I request one feature which I regard it as very usefull for watching movie with good sound quality. I mean including Equalizer in MX Player in coming version.
Thanks.

It's already in the Feature Requests list. Always check there before making a request.
Two years later, will there ever be an equalizer for MX ?
FYI, I'm a willing buyer as soon as an equalizer is confirmed. I'm hearing impaired and without setting the frequencies I can't use the MX properly.

Same here! I do like this MX player, but I miss the VLC equalizer.
The nice thing about the VLC equalizer is, that it has a wide range, and 10 bands.
You can amplify frequencies up to 20dB. Many equalizers only go up and down 10 dB.
Nice about the MX player is that you can do a lot of adjusting to the way subtitles are displayed.

I have tried some of the equalizers like equalizer fx. Everything is working on my two test devices running on Marshmallow. Only thing is you have to ensure that the app is not suppose to be killed for battery optimization.
Yes it may some time inconsistent since the latest android devices doesn't provide option to select the default audio fx app. It might be the reason why the developers has stopped developing Universal audio processing apps.
10band equalizer will be great for audio geeks....
I will ask the MX Player developer about his plan for equalizer & update the status if any.

I was using this before, but as you suggested, it constantly loses audio focus.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer&hl=en
It also interfered with the EQ that's built into Poweramp.

When Poweramp is closed properly, it's dsp plugin not suppose to be interrupt the audio.
BTW, had a interaction with @bleu8888. FYI, equalizer is planned for 1.10. He is in a process to finalizing 1.9.0 & working on some other features. Once 1.9.0 is finalized to all android 4.0 users he may take up other pending features like Equalizer, Chromecast for 1.10.

hi,
i'm searching for a music player for my defy with cyanogenmod 7.2 that supports sort-tags in mp3. that means i can sort the music regardless from the shown artist or album name. this is the feature is miss the most since my good old ipod is broken. the only useful player i've found is the rocket player that can sort albums by the year tag, but not my the album tag.
i've tried some popular players such as poweramp, but no player has the feature i'm searching for.
can anyone help me? i read that android can't read this id3-tag so the player installed on android ignore that tags. but is there no player that can read that tags without android's "help"?
Xenoamp is meant to support them, although they never actually worked for me and I've since moved on. Worth trying, though, as it's a good app and the dev is very cool.

Have you tried GoneMAD Music Player? There is a free trial version available, so you can check it out.
Furthermore, you might want to try MyPlayer++ from XDA member DMDP. He is a great developer who actually listens to user feedback and implements new feature requests. If his player does not support sorting by your preference, ask him if he can implement it.
I've been doing a lot of research on the topic, and GoneMAD indeed seems to be the best option so far. I wish they would add a desktop version and sync. I'd be all over that .
MX Player team is very happy to announce that we are now adding “AC-3” audio support in our latest version of the app (i.e. MX Player v1.8.17 & MX Player Pro v1.8.16) in most of the regions.
If you have video files with “AC-3” audio, you can now play it without using any third-party / unofficial custom codecs…!
There are no extra efforts required on your end. Just relaunch the app again with working internet. Once, MX Player configuration is updated on your device, it will automatically start working again…!
Thank you very much
Great News! Thank You!
When I read that the AC-3 patent expired, MX Player is the first project that came to mind that would benefit from it. I was pretty bummed out when they forced you guys to remove support for the codec, but I'm glad that it's not longer an issue.
Wow - good riddance ! The patent won't be missed !
@Thirumalai.K thanks for adding the support , I got quite a few videos that use AC-3
