[Q] music player and sound quality on a stock JB - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Brothers! Hola!
Right now im using stock ROM. And have a terrible sound, a lot of bass, sometimes laggs and "scratches" during listening music, phone become unresponsive for a moment.
I've changed Google Play Music app to Apollo CM player. Now it's ok in case of stability. But settings of the played music (Equalizer) makes me cry and my ears bleeding.
What you can recommend, maybe another player app?
Thanks for your attention

Just browse. Upon purchasing my phone, I immediately rooted and the such and downloaded a third-party equalizer. I uninstalled the stock one and replaced it with the equalizer of my choosing.
The new Play Music app is kinda unstable, but I use it all the same. I suggest keeping Apollo and trying out a couple of equalizers.

Love Apollo. Great app. Themable too

I love PowerAmp (built in EQ) but since I signed up for the Play Music subscription, I've been relegated to the Play Music app. I'm on CM 10.1 now and it's nice to have system wide DSP.

Good music player for Galaxy Note

Hi All,
Apologies if I'm reinventing the wheel here, but I'm looking for a good solid music player app for the Note, as the bundled music hub doesn't cut the mustard with me.
Any ideas? What are you guys using?
Thanks in advance.

I am using PlayerPro from BlastOn LLC. Highly recommended.

Power Amp!! It's amazing how you can hear your old music completely new and improved through your headphones.

Neutron! The GUI is a bit odd but the sound is excellent. Renders the music in 32 bit.

this is the one i have been using for almost 2 years now, its perfect! give it a try...
What about battery usage of the app you post?
The stock music player is very efficient when using FM kernel. While biking for 2 hours and listening a mp3 it loses just 6%.
Is one of those apps have music controls in the pulled down notification menu??
I used to have playerpro but it doesn't have those controls, only stock player has them but then the stock player dosen't have a widget!!
Any ideas would be great

PowerAmp all the way
I use PowerAmp... awesome sound quality!
Have used WinAmp, but sound quality is pretty basic, although it is good otherwise.
PowerAmp doesn't have player controls in the taskbar, but it does have a decent widget. Also, had problems when upgrading to the full version where it corrupted the sd card within Android and had to rebuild it in windows before android would recognise it again. To prevent this found that uninstalling the widget and disabling auto-scan folders before installing the full key helped. No problems since.
Guess the other thing to mention is file transfer. I'm not really fussed on built in file transfer as I just copy and paste my folders to the sd card syncing the phone as an external drive. PowerAmp doesn't have any built in file transfer that I'm aware of, whereas WinAmp has wireless transfer which is supposed to be good.
It's all about music quality for me though and PowerAmp wins by a loong long way in that department.
Happy hunting, hope it helps
Try 3 it has a very cool interface

Ubermusic is quite good I think
Cloudskipper, hands down
Another vote for poweramp. It's not free, but it's far and away the best - in my opinion of course.
Poweramp - i've tried all others, but poweramp is just full of pure awesomeness
Google music player is by far the best player. Stream all your tracks without taking up space on your memorycard

Simple,
Powerapp all the way.
I use my phone alot for music(Who doesn't) and have gone through nearly every music player trying to find the best one.
Tried all the free, Then tried all the paid for ones, The best by far is poweramp, Simply because it handles the music so perfectly and the sound quality is superb.
Trust me when i say, You won't regret buying it, Plus you can try out the free version before hand.
Agree with the PowerAmp people. It's just the best!

Player Pro is the best.
I use PowerAmp on the Note and MediaMonkey on the PC to convert my CDs to FLAC, which PowerAmp can read. So I get lossless CD quality on it.

I have tried them all well not exactly but most the ones people recommend, none the less I had problems with the stock one doing the same thing. Sometimes it would play a song then sometimes it would just be silent, any way I tried the playerpro trial version same as full version just only last 5 days. any way it and dsp pack for it has proved to be the best so far plays anything, and had allot of sound adjustment. No I don't work for them lol just my 2 cents

PowerAmp continues to be my favorite. Though it seems like there's a bug related to scanning each time the app is launched that was causing me some issue. Disabled that option and everythings good.
I use playerpro, like the features, get missing album covers, no issues. The widget is awesome, try it, it is free. The app is well supported.

I have this exact problem. It isn't quite clipping but whenever there is a crescendo it only ramps up partway and then gets mushy as though there is a normalizer running. The consistency with which it does this has me thinking as though each frame in the MP3 is being decoded at a different level!

Sound lag

So I'm running dirty unicorns with the bub a kernel, and I have experienced this on other cm10.1 ROMs, I'm just wondering if anyone else notices this, but when im playing music and tap on apps or the app launcher my music stops for a quick second and returns. Very annoying for those who listen to music while doing other stuff

Yeah, CyanogenMod 10.1 is buggy as hell, but 10 was much much worse for heavy music listeners. It started playing itself, repeating songs when you skip a track, and often refused to play songs. So don't go backwards, you'll be far worse off.

Use a player like PlayerPro + DSP Pack or Poweramp. They have their own audio decoding libraries, so they don't use the inbuilt Android audio decoder. As a result you experience no issues when playing music. I use PlayerPro & DSP Pack which also seems to use less battery than the inbuilt decoder even with LPA mode.
I always used Google Play Music when I had cyanogenmod. Apollo is a pile of ****e. Google Play Music made it slightly betterm but neither of them have anything on HTC's music player, that is the best by far.

Yeah f**k Apollo, check out PlayerPro, there's a 14 day trial. Make sure you get the DSP Pack also. Functionality wise I think it blows every other player away, and you could probably skin it to look like the Sense player too. But with 100x more features.

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

Just search walkman 4.6 on xda .. And u will found a thread by ibanez if not mistaken.. Then flash it through ur cwm recovery.. But before flash the walkman .. Remove ur other equalizer to prevent conflict..

i think n7 player is great.
N7 is cool and all, but I prefer Poweramp.
poweramp for the WIN !
I used poweramp, I got board with it. I like Rocket player now. Really nice and polished UI with a lot of themes available.

Stock Music App?

Am I missing the default music app somewhere? All I see is Google Play Music. What is everyone using? VLC? Poweramp?
So there isn't one?
I don't see any... I'm using light app Vanilla from playstore...
I'm using PowerAmp. Been using it for years.
USB Audio Player Pro last 4 phones.
It's a pretty clean phone other than Netflix. I disabled most of their stock apps. It comes with play music I think and you could use their file manager. I use Black music player and have enjoyed it for quite a bit now
Player Pro FTW. And it has an insane DSP addon
