best mp3 program ?

Just wondering what the best mp3 and flac player for android is. Preferably free.

PowerAmp hands down. Plays mp3 and flac better than freaking VLC/Audacity (maybe) on the computer.

Best Mp3
1. Double-twist will allow you to upload and sync with you android phone/tablet and is a great music manger/player with a great ui and look
2. Winamp is great and one of best in that it is extremely easy to understand and use, just dump the music files in a folder on your sd card and it will find them.
there are tons of music apps out there try them and see what works for you!!!!

I agree with frub3nz, it's by far the best, even better than WinAMP. Only two bad things about it, it is a little quieter compared to WinAMP, and it only lasts 15 days as a trial version. Other than that though it's awesome.

Poweramp. It's worth it

MIUI music player!

power amp cost me the best 3euros i've ever spent, it's just a fantastic player.

I really like PlayerPro. It has a much cleaner UI with the same features as PowerAmp, including the equalizer, lyrics, album art, etc. and it's only 5 bucks.

Another vote for PowerAMP. If you take the time to set up the equalizer and pre-amp correctly, you won't believe the sound quality. Worth spending money on.

Nothing can touch Poweramp. Best on android.

I've been using Songbird... its not the greatest, but the scrubber works while WinAmps doesn't. If you want something that just plays music, it works. Next week I may be using another music app though, I go through them often. Haha
I've yet to find any music app that matches iOS though, sadly. Android really lacks in audiobook and podcast support.
I don't need any of the other bulks apps give, like sync. I've put all of that on Amazon now, so why do I need a sync program anymore?

PowerAmp by a mile IMHO and it's excellent through Bluetooth stereo.

Another Vote for Poweramp...hands down the best music app for android

I've been using instinctiv, simple ui, detects music on sd card and fast.

Mortplayer is excellent and allows to play folders (nice for those who hate tags and arrange their albums in folders). It also displays lyrics through an add-on.
It is free and it is an excellent application. (I had it since windows mobile!)

Will miui music app work on oxygen rom on htc desire ?

poweramp....duh?
like many others my upvote is for poweramp just bought it today really is the best

I like PlayerPro... has a lot of functionality including an excellent EQ and personally I prefer the look and feel of it compared to poweramp..

Sound quality stock player vs. alternatives

Hello guys,
I would like to ask you, if you consider the sound output of the stock player better than alternative players (PowerAmp, PlayerPro etc.). I came from Galaxy S which has excellent sound output in stock player but alternatives were not so good.
I´m using Koss Spark Plug headphones. I don´t use stock player because of non-customizable equalizer.
What do you think?

I used to use Winamp but I use the stock on the Sensation mainly due to SRS Enhancement. It makes my Moto H17 have actual bass

I'm coming from PowerAmp Pro on HD2, using stock app on Sensation4G and couldn't be more pleasantly surprised. I'm an audiophile listening to flacs in all this and couldnt be happier

stock players seem to be much better than purchased apps now. my vibrant had SRS, G2x has DTS (Dolby), and this has SRS? sweeeeetness didn't know that. wow i shouldn't have bought power amp 2 days ago...

But SRS has not extra options has it? Is it possible to customize it a little bit?

interesting I have not reyes the stock at all been using poweramp out the box. I'm gonna try the stock though.

@KillaHurtz,
How do you play flac in stock player? I recently bought PowerAMP to be able to play flac (and PowerAMP is very oke). As far as I understood flac is not native supported in Android (3.1 seems to have it added).

the stock player should have a equalizer if you open up the stock music player and up in the top right you can select the SRS or equalizer

Just saying that's my normal prefrence, sorry if I miscommunicated that.

I use Player Pro /w DSP pack so that I can have a pre-amp on top of my other EQ settings, that player pro offers normally.
Stock Music player has pretty good sound output, my only complaint is no customization options in the EQ/No Pre-Amp = Not loud enough for me or customizable enough. Player Pro is both!

I used to htc player but it does not retain the position of the song, when I listen to a mix that lasts 2 hours it starts from the beginning every time
do you have the same problem ?

this stock player sounds better than my poweramp. think im gonna use it for now.

well, you try MIUI Rom's musip player... It's all of the best you ever seen; Suppport all format. You khow HTC Sense Roms doesn't support some music format: flac, high bit-rate mp3, etc...
Auto download music lyrics, album cover. The best!

i would suggest stock..it has srs!!it does depend on the headphones from which u r listening...i do not use htc`s innovation all the time though!but i really like poweramp!!

I would use
PoweAMP
or
Winamp
Both are even better than HTC stock Music Player and ICS stock Music Player...

I agree with that. Winamp got enough options and is quite simple.
If You need more options use PowerAmp.

PowerAmp FTW. Definitely. It's just not free.
Well worth the asking price though. Try the trial period out OP and see if you agree.

Personally I'm satisfied with the stock ones from HTC and default CM7. They have great simple, intuitive features already built in.

If you are willing to pay €10 a month, i'd say spotify

Miui Player is only good on Miui Roms...you wont have lockscreen music controls or LastFM scrobbl in other Roms I'd suggest stock one

I like this one ---> http: //powerampapp.com/

Hello there,
if you're familiar with setting a 10-band equalizer, I would suggest the pro version of winamp (not free but well worth its price, imo). Otherwise sense stock player is ok to me. The best is to try a few with your headphones and see which one you like most!
Cheers

I'm still using mort player. Does everything i need and is free.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

My opinion :
Stock sucks.. it finds mp3's that i dont want to play, and you dont have much settings
Music players that just rock:
For free : Mort Player
Not free : Power Amp (!!!!!)
Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire S mit Tapatalk

because of this topic i went looking for another mp3 player
i'd like to add nrg player to my list of favorite players

i actually like the stock music player, but if you want a player that you can tailor to your own needs in terms of looks then go for player pro, although it is not free i love the skins you can put on it.

What's the best music player available on Android?

Why do you use the music player you have? What makes it special? Plus, does it work well with iTunes?

Well, that depends on the person. Me personally I use either apollo or poweramp. In my opinion, Itunes sucks

Player Pro is the best for me,with lockscreen widget.

For me.. I move from player pro to jet audio plus..
Player pro have more sound, bigger n badder.. .. But in headphone, it get annoying to have many noise..
Besides, jet audio.. Give me more clear n pure output..
Since im in xperia now, sure i have walkman to for bigger n badder sound..
So..say goodbye to player pro.. Thanks for the time we spent together

N7Player Lots of options, good sound, lockscreen overlay.
And I only use iTunes for my iPod, simply because I have no other choice. Every other moment it sits disabled on my pc untill I ask for it. Horrendously crap program.

I prefer Google Music, due to my small sdcard

Poweramp!!

I use either poweramp or Apollo. I like poweramp because it has the best eq out of all the players I've tried. Also it has a very great UI in that it is simple to use, and has a wealth of settings for a person who likes to dial in things. However, the downside is that it cost $4. Apollo also has a great UI too but there's no eq. However, when using viper4android (eq that works with ALL system sounds including music players) it makes it revivals poweramp's eq and sometimes surpasses it lol. So if you can't pay $4 you can go with the latter since it is free. Also I forgot to mention both have a lot of great themes but Apollo has more free ones and I don't use iTunes because imo it is too locked down and I'm not in Apple's ecosystem.

Poweramp is just awesome. You get a lockscreen app and automatically downloads album art (if you want). I guess the downside is that you have to pay for it. Worth it though.

Player Pro is freeeee music player with many features
I think it's the best player available in the market

I prefer walkman music player... It had clear audio and best bass booster that make ur music experience better

[Feature Request] Equalizer

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.

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.
