Generally I prefer PowerAmp, but I like the Samsung widget and I like that it keeps music control in the notification bar all the time, so I've been sticking with it.

I'm coming from the Galaxy S Wifi 4.0 with Voodoo Sound and PowerAMP and Player Pro were for sure better than the Stock Player,
BUT now on Galaxy Note 10.1 I must say that the Samsung Player with Sound Alive set on Auto is the winner. Doesn't matter whether using earphones or speakers. The Samsung Player sounds better. Sound Alive Auto is very useful since every type of music needs its own EQ setting to sound best.
Still like the UI of PowerAmp more though.
Do any of these work with streaming my music library from google?

i'll have to check it out. if it's as good as you say then that'll make 2 stock media players that are as good as the stuff on the market - i love the video player.
Samsung is better :cyclops:
poweramp is paid apps. Not comparable, I think.

Why not? On Windows: PowerDVD is paid and VLC (better) is free. Of course you can compare them both.
You guys have to listen (and concentrate) with Samsung Music (Soundalive on Auto) and PowerAMP (flat). Samsung Music clearly sounds superior. Of course your MP3s/Flac (yes! Stock Player can play FLAC) should have higher quality and your headphones, too.
I'm waiting for JB and a Kernel which supports Voodoo Sound to test it again.
Because on my other Device with Voodoo Sound, PowerAMP is better than than Samsung Music (older version) and stiil a bit more dynamic than Samsung Music from Galaxy Note 10.1. I also noticed, that Galaxy Note is almost crystal clear while my other device has very bad noise floor when DVC or EQ is enabled.

Surprising how good too. The music player is able to Play flac.And the Video player is able to handle 720 pMKV' For 1080 p vido playback you need MX or BSplayers .

Thanks for the tip. Sound alive sounds fantastic. The demo Samsung song sounds amazing and crystal clear. Virtualized 7.1 channel sounds gold also but now that I tried auto,its clearly the best IMO. Crazy how gold these stereo beakers sound on a tablet.

I've been a PowerAmp user on various devices for a long while, so was interested when first saw this thread and re-enabled srock music player to try it out. While better than prwvious players, PA still sounds much better to me over BT in my car as well as on my headphones (using flac files). I also prefer the functionality of PA, and couldnt find aome aimple things, like shuffle, in the stock player. I'm sure its there, just couldnt find it driving.

Yeah it's there. Tap on the cover art and there it is.
But like I said. PowerAMP has much better user interface. Stock Player has less options and doesn't look nice as PA.
Did you try it with headphones and [email protected]?

I know there is a DSP manager app, but that is not sounding that great. The reason I say this is that recently I gave up Droid X. The X had presets built into the music player for bass, 3D and stuff which made the same songs sound a lot better on the X than Droid 1.
I have tried some settings on Droid 1 in DSP Manager but they are nowhere near the quality of the X.
So does anybody have any other suggestions ?
Audio Quality..
I thought the same thing about the music sounding a bit flat. I installed the Power Amp player and am much happier now. It has a lot more customization controls, so you can add more bass if you want.
MixZing has an equalizer as well.
Try PowerAmp app From Market

+1 to PowerAMP its amazing and has tons of presets and you can also make your own.
3rd on PowerAmp..nothing else like it Even plays music ripped from streaming well.
HTC's new senseUI (in Desire Z and HD) has a DSP Manager app that has an equalizer as well. 3 different settings for Headphones, BT and speaker.
Maybe that could be ported for other phones as well?
And no, it doesn't improve quality, a better set of headphones will do that.

PowerAMP is really amazing but I use volume+ now because it affects the every audio app (nice for streaming apps).
Just note that on any eq, you may notice some distortion in the sound. This is especially true if using bass boost and applies to any form of eq.

Try N7 player it is the best player for rocking boost bass lovers.
I tried all but liked only this one.

This might be not too related to the topic, but..
I rarely ever use equalizers for the sole reason that the songs are already mixed how the artists intended the songs to sound. I used to abuse EQ like hell when I was younger and maxed bass and treble on everything I listened to. When I turned it off I suddenly noticed small quirks and new guitars in the background, just details that I couldn't hear before because the bass overpowered everything.
Just something to think about.
from t-mobile's specs on the phone it mentions:
"DTS Ultra Mobile™, which includes two innovative audio technologies – DTS Envelo™ and DTS Boost™ – for a premium surround sound experience. When listening to music or playing games on the T-Mobile G2x, customers will enjoy rich, enhanced sound that adds depth, dimension and volume levels that are robust without distortion."
so this is just something built in? anyway to control it? i did not see it anywhere in menus or apps or processes. hmmm
Yep, there's a button in the music player to turn it on while you are listening to music. meh, i guess it works, nothing amazing.
Is there any way to use in spotify or any other app for the matter? Or is it only possible to use it in the default music player?

It works well! There's a major difference in the loudness when you turn it on. Turn it off, and it gets much quieter.

No, it's only in the stock music and video players that you can utilize it, at least for the time being.

True. I haven't tried it on WinAmp's player yet, but it is not accessible through Power Amp. I will say though, with Power Amp EQ settings, my music sounded awesome through the device, good enough to stop carrying my iPod touch.
I have cm7 on mine, is there anyway to get the dts to work again? If not is there a way to put the stock player back on it and still have cm7?
same boat as you, would love the LG Video Player in CM7

been wondering about this forever. only thing that i don't like about CM7 and EB is the lack of the LG Video Player, audio player i could care less about but the video player i like
add me to the list of those wanting this for the CM7 GB roms
The DSP Manager app in cm7 and associated GB roms blows away the dts function.
But can I get the left speaker working with that?

That's a microphone.
still not the video player though. no thumbnails of videos w/the cm7 stock one. i messed w/the dsp manager on a few roms and i've had some off and on weirdness w/custom ringtones when using it w/the speaker at times.

No it doesn't. I've tried all presets and even did my own tinkering, doesn't match up to DTS on the stock player. I believe DTS if only available in the g2x version of this one.
Anyone have the stock music player. That's the one thing I'm missing from cm7.
you will notice a difference with headphones and dts enabled
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
yeah i really loved all the options available with DTS like turn on or turn off, it's awesome
I agree. I miss the dts function. Though CM7 has dsp options, out is not as easy as dts.. I would be happy with just mimicking the dts settings. If anyone can just figure out how dts changed the sound profile for the g2x, it would make me very happy.
You obviously haven't used a voodoo kernel yet.

Voodoo is only for headphones on our phones isnt it?..and even then it only increases volume, which is useless because volume on headphones can already go louder than nessecary..

Not sure if you guys know about JetAudio but it's one of the best media players available for PC's and has been my media player of choice for the past 7-8yrs. Plays almost any media file you need it to, is a file converter, audio trimmer, etc.......well now it's available for Android!

Hmm looks really good and it's free! I just feel bad that I'd be loosing $5 from Poweramp though
I have PowerAmp too, JetAudio is cool but i'm so used to PA that it's gonna take an exceptional experience to unseat it. This is kinda like the Zune trying to uproot the iPod.....Zune showed up just a little late to the party.
Yeah. It sounds really good, but for some reason it's not picking up the tags for my flac files so their all under "unknown artist".
Jetaudio is good but i feel PowerAmp is better

Can't agree more bro, I have got these Sony MDRs that I have ordered from infibeam thinking they will be great, which they are, but i am surprised with the other sony headphones which i have won in one of those facebook contents, they are incredible, I believe Sony gives them away with Live with Walkman.

There isn't any "best" ROM for anything. lol All of them are fine. It's more about what player you use and how you tweak your device. There are more audio mods on XDA than I can count. The beauty of this phone is the Wolfson DAC and it's compatibility with Voodoo sound. Music is all I use this phone for so I'll just give you what I use. jetAudio player with Voodoo Sound and no other mods. I've used that combo on every ROM and it sounds great. There are some other audiophiles who have this phone as well so maybe they'll chime in.
I use XOAK kanged-Xperia style. It has WiFi working okay and GPS works when you use AGPS patch from the forum. It has the Sony libs for clear audio+.
Want to pump it up even more download Bass Booster Pro from play store you won't regret it. Download the free one to try it out. It has an equalizer that gives the virtualizer effect for a fuller sound too.

To install it just find/download the .apk and load it on your phone. Shuttle/Shuttle+ has a similar UI to Apollo.

I've rooted and installed Viper4Android which dramatically improved all the Nexus 5 audio output. Then I switched from Poweramp to Neutron player and am very happy with my music options. If I was going to take only one of those two options the free Viper4Android wins hands down as the improvement is amazing. Check the XDA Nexus 5 themes and apps section for the thread on how to install Viper4Android on your phone and have to work well with almost any music player.
