Player Pro vs Power Amp - Android General

Hey everybody. Just wanted some opinions on two of the best music players for android. I've been using Player Pro since the OG Droid days and I love it. But I bought Poweramp last year and I love it pretty much the same. I've been using both players for a long time. But I can't do both anymore cause I want to make playlists for the first time in forever lol. Can someone please help me choose which one to stick with?

Personally I like power amp and it's EQ capabilities. Power amp also has add ons I believe but I haven't experimented with them. Also like how it integrates with car dashboards like car home ultra

Poweramp is superior

I prefer Player Pro
It has a good equaliser and excellent sound , widgets etc...

I prefer player pro. It's the only one I am able to sync playcounts and ratings to iTunes (via isyncr ).

I use poweramp. I don't need too many features, and most of those I need are shown right after start.

Poweramp.sounds much.better.

For me, Poweramp(beta-preview-build-790) is the best music player. :

[Q] Music Player?

Whats the best music player out there for Android? Also is there a music player out there that shows the top 25 played songs kinda like itunes?
I myself have not found a real good high quality music player. some will say Poweramp, but to me its not the greatest. I am going to try doubleTwist and as you can see in the thread I just posted, doubletwist is supposed to be really good so give it a try
Power amp is the absolute best. But if u want an ipod look you could use btunes. But neither have top 25 most played. I think google music might have the top 25 feature though.
I like Winamp. Solid player with wifi sync.

+1 to PowerAMP, I don't think it has top 25 played, but if you knew what those songs were you could always make a playlist of your favorite songs. It also has a built-in equalizer that can really improve the sound quality if you have any crappy sounding mp3s. My 2 cents.

Thanks guys Poweramp is great! I just wish it had the top 25 songs option. It's cool though

I've been using Cube Player myself. Works pretty well, and it's free. I haven't tried any others, though...
I purchased them all. Mixzing premium has grown to become my favorite. I've used player pro, lithium, btunes, power amp and cubed. Lots of good choices out there.

I LOVE DoubleTwist because it now supports AirSync (Air Play) which streams to Apple TV which is great for me since I own Apple TV. Plus I just really like the UI and how it works.
i like lossless music
So for now I'm trying andLess.
It's bare bones, but it plays my Apple lossless files. Before I always had to make a separate set of .flac files. Now just one version does me in both places.
I love Google music, but I'm also on the beta.

I'd like to use their Beta with cloud storage but until they allow you to upload an iTunes playlist no thanks. I'm not going to let it upload all 6,000+ songs. Would take forever! At least the Amazon player allows you to choose playlists!

I uploaded 20,000 songs it didn't take that long. It's nice having all that music not take up room on my phone. I love google music!

Right now I'm digging UberMusic. It's from the same guy who made Launcher Pro. I'd check it out if you're into a light and minimalistic music player.
Doubletwist is the best
I recommend doubletwist and if you buy airsync you can transfer through wireless
I'm partial 2 AMZ cloudplayer, until they cap our GPRS

i suspect that will go down now with Ubermusic out. its awesome. smoothest music app i have ever used. and that is coming from someone that is a hardcore poweramp user.
I'm using subsonic
I am using PlayerPro
Coming from an hd7 which has an AMAZING music player, i think ubermusic is pretty close to it. It's a near zune clone and works awesome.
I have not tried Ubermusic yet, but out of al players I have tried Playerpro is hands down my fav. Skins, customization, Album Art/ Artist Art Sync and the Equalizer option . Smooth,Looks great too.

i just took a look at PlayerPro and it looks hella slick I currently use AudioGalaxy, as i have over 14 gigs of music, and streaming it seemed to be the best option....ah decisions, decisions..lol
Ubermusic is also good app.
PlayerPro or Ubermusic.. hm..
I have a few to choose from, thanks guys!
I am going to try all of them and pick which one suits me best.
Keep the suggestions coming. You guys are awesome with the help.
I used UberMusic on my Xperia Play before I sold it and I want to use it on my Sensation but I'm still using stock because it has the SRS option. Are there any other music apps that use SRS?
Can't stand poweramps awful skin looks old school but ubermusic is eye candy and playerpro gets you both a nice interface and look combined with nice features I like it because the lock screen controls work great on sensation and you can long press volume to switch songs

playerpro. Liked it so much I even paid for it.
Regularly updated, and the dev works from his bedroom and is a nice guy, speaks to you!

I'm using subsonic
Is there demo version or try before you buy version of Ubermusic anywhere?
I use the Volume + app. It boosts the volume from your speaker, headphones and bluetooth device. It also has a more than decent sound enhancer. I really don't miss the stock srs sound enhancer, that came on my HTC sensation, with is app installed.

Ubermusic is great been using it since first alpha build and it gets better and better each time
PlayerPro has been great for me.
i have tried poweramp, playerpro and other music players on my desire hd but i stuck with htc's own player.
i guess i really didnt need the extra features these apps offered and i really like the stock elegance of the htc player, even more on the sensation.
though i liked the look of the lock screen widget of the older sense more.
google music 3.0

What's your favorite media app.

I'm just wonder what's everyone's favorite media player app?

I don't like signatures....
Google Music has worked well for me.

Google Music, followed closely by winamp.
The only thing I like about the stock HTC player is that you can operate it at lock screen and notification bar. Other than that it doesn't have anything else.

For music I am using Music 3.0, which has a background that changes colors randomly. Considering the market recognizes it as Google Music, I assume it is, even though it looks nothing like the one in the market. For video, I use MoboPlayer.

I use PowerAMP and love it, very good, customizable, great EQ with presets and the ability to make your own presets, and native FLAC support. I haven't used GoogleMusic though, I got an invite but it turns out Linux isn't supported yet and it's just too big of a pain to move my music from my laptop, I have over 100 gigs.

Have you tried installing through wine? ?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Yeah but I couldn't get it to work well. Wine and I have never been good friends lol. It's very few and far between that I even think about using it. I could probably get it to run ok if I spent long enough toying with settings but with PowerAMP and a 32gig SD card I'm happy enough with how much music I have. If i ever really want something of my computer I have a VNC server set up on it that I can retrieve files over.

Best Equalizer w/ Music Player out there

Cut that Beats crap, thats no where close to a real Eq. You want to hear what real music was supposed to be like?
You want a powerful music player that has equalizers for nearly every aspect of your song?
You want to get the recently released jetAudio app. This music player is the most feature packed one I've seen and tried yet.
It is a player that is for Windows and it was recently ported to Android.
I blast Dubstep though my headphones daily so I needed a nice Eq for that. This is the best sounding player I've seen in a while.
It supports nearly every format availible, has insane amounts of equalizers, can change the speed of song, different effects (crossfade, cut, etc), can post to twitter/facebook for what you are playing if you want, has some fancy animations and more.
If you are looking for a music player then use this one.
Play Store Link (free): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jetappfactory.jetaudio
It is currently recently released so it may have bugs. From what I've seen its working 100% though.
Also, if you want an ICS themed music player, check out the Apollo app from CM9 (google around to find the apk). It is awesome as well and is themeable (it only has a dark and light theme as of now though).
Thanks, great find! Looks nicer than PowerAMP.
Great!
Looks great, I'll definitely give this a try. I just wish they decided to use the Holo theme rather than going for a shiny-iPhone skin... but I'm OCD!
Any idea if the headphone controls actually work with our phone? I haven't had any success with even playing/pausing using any other headset :/
Anyone have any feedback as far as comparing this to poweramp+beats?

Wow, amaaaazing, how awesome that JetAudio Basic player is... (And for FREE! Not just 15-day-trial like PowerAMP free version... )
Get JetAudio Basic and rate it!
Anyone got an idea how to get a JetAudio Basic-widget on the homescreen? Like a mini-player with play/pause? :/
Loving the eqs on this, just wish it could work with my play music since I don't keep much music on the phone since no expandable SD card :/

Without BBE+ this player is not that great, however BBE Sound Inc. will soon come out with there own player app for Android soon, some time this year.

[App]JetAudio Basic....FINALY!!!

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.
