Play music seems to drain battery too easily, anything else out there for playing music stored on the device that is better on the battery?

Personally I use Shuttle+, only uses about 5% of my battery in a day of normal use. About 3 hours of on screen time and about the same of listening to music, normally my phone is on for 12 hours after a full charge and I plug it in after that.
for me the best app...and battery fiendly...I love it

I don't think it's gonna be much difference between some music players. And I don't think anybody ever done comparing the battery life between music apps.
But then again, if it's me, I don't mind sacrificing few hours of my N5 battery life to great sound quality of a music player.
For music player, definitely sound quality >> Battery life, and i'm gonna recommend Poweramp for sound quality. Not a fan of V4Android myself though...
PowerAmp once again
Tons of features. Nice UI (main screens & widgets). It works as hell with V4A.
PowerAmp doesn't consume a lot of battery unlike V4A which uses more power in Super Quality mode. (but the sound is so good )

PowerAmp is the best player ever, best audio quality
also Mort Player is good

but
You can use this if You use dsp or other audio mods, it's simple and minimal

Tested out poweramp and while the battery use of poweramp was less than the stock player, my wakelock was much higher causing an overall higher battery drain than the stock player.
Poweramp is nice though, going to try a few more to see which has good sound and the least battery drain.
Was thinking about using doubletwist because I may want to sync my iTunes playlists.

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.

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.
which u prefer?
personally i like poweramp more, their eq effect is amazing
Samsung. Not the best eq but with the beats audio mod, it's good!

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?

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.

Poweramp would be my recommendation. Tons of options to play with as well as a more than capable built in equalizer.
Because they only sell the 16gb in my country version ive decided to use Google Play Music in combination with Viper4Android FX It works really great for me so far. This ofcourse comes with the monthly costs.
Neutron is the best sounding but Poweramp has the best UI. I use Poweramp only because Neutron is godawful to navigate and I don't listen to *that* much music on my phone.

I've used Player Pro for a couple of years, and always been quite happy. Great sound with the DSP pack addon installed, and a good number features.
I haven't used it for. flac files, but have been told that the DSP pack enables support for these.
I have also used PowerAmp, but in the end have preferred the interface and sound quality of Player Pro.
Caveat: As with most, I just got my Nexus, so I've really only had one opportunity to play music.

Agreed. Finally a music app that looks good and doesn't have annoying quirks.
Playerpro together with ios7 holo skin. The best.
poweramp
Is the built in player too bad? I used Apollo on my old Cappy.
I ended up pulling the music.apk from AOSP 4.4 and I'm really liking it and the lock screen widget but the lack of a home screen widget really sucks. Its got a pretty respectable eq as well. I'll have to give some of the mentioned ones a go.

I've noticed a huge improvement in the sound quality through my earpiece when using googles play music on this device. In past android devices the sound quality has always sucked and I've used power amp as a slightly better option. On the n5 tho, the sound is incredible. Mind you, I'm using a high quality earpiece but I used the same ones on many of my android devices (and I've had MANY) and the n5 has a much better sound quality. Just my two cents. Don't need another player in this device. Besides, the cloud is nice. I have a ton of music on it & so it doesn't take up my storage space.

Google Music works excellent for streaming or on device(MP3) music. No real reason for me to use any other player.
I did't create this app. I was using PowerAmp for years since I bought it but gave this app a try and noticed a significant improvement in audio quality so this is just to raise awareness
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neutroncode.mp&hl=en
Has features like 64bit processing that PowerAmp doesn't have. The UI is a little clunky but I personally feel the sound quality more than makes up for it. It sounds great even with the included earphones that came with the G2. There's also a evaluation version to try it out. Try it out and leave your comments!:good:
OMG I hate the UI in that player so much so it can be all the things in the world I want but I still wouldn't use it. I've tried several times to become friends with it but I just can't. I've moved on. I hate it that much.

I agree. The UI leaves a lot to be desired but I suppose it's the sacrifice one has to make to use the best sounding player on the Play store. Though one might argue for a paid app, there should be no sacrifices.
If they remake the UI sometime I will definitely give it another try.

Neutron supposedly the engines are all about quality at the sacrifice of efficiency (high CPU usage) and the UI is horrid. I played with it a bit, but at the time I only had mp3's of average 180kbit bitrate and I couldn't hear a significant difference so I went back to PlayerPro which isn't horrid to use.
And people, mods that make things louder don't make them better.
