Recommended mp3 player - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What is a good mp3/media player to use?
Being a Xperia user for many years I have been accustomed with the Walkman media player, not sure what is a good alternative out there.
As I'm not such a big fan of Google apps in general, I tend to get rid of most of them other than the few that I "have" to use.
I dont want ro use the google play music app. I also dont want to upload anything on to any server. Only want my music locally on my phone.

I've been a user of Poweramp for years. Does everything I need it to do. Give the trial a shot and see if you think it'd be worth the couple bucks.

I vote for Poweramp as well. Works great.
Shuttle+ is quite nice as well, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=another.music.player

yep... poweramp ftw

Try these ported apps?

Poweramp for sure, 100% worth.

Poweramp

PowerAmp ! Best Android music player by far !

id go with shuttle.. no credit card here.. so i cant really utilize the max potential of poweramp.

N7player is awesome.

I'm different... PlayerPro or Apollo from Cyanogen

I am using Walkman, there are several ports which work really well. There is also one working with Viper4Audio Mod.

poweramp is love, poweramp is life.

Thanks for all the replies.
I have to be honest but didn't expect Poweramp to be so popular.
So, I'm giving poweramp, Shuttle and N7 player a go

Poweramp is great! But I dont like the default theme.
Check out different themes that are present, and experiment

Didn't like poweramp. I'm using shuttle + which is great. Plus like other person said there are ports where you can get xperia apps on phone...

Plus another thing. I'm running PAC ROM. And I have disabled play music on connection of headphones. And also in my shuttle+ app deselected play when headphones connected. But some times it still plays when I connect my aux lead or headphones. Anyone else using shuttle+ have this problem? As it happened on PAC ROM and Sabbermodded slim as well....

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.

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

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.

best music player??

what do you guys think? i personally use poweramp, but i'm interested to see what you guy like!

I use Poweramp Full version & MX Player Pro as my media players...
I played with poweramp for about an hour before I bought the full version. Works for me, haven't found too much to gripe about thus far.
I use Winamp PRO, because it quickly, easily syncs all my music from my computer while I sleep via Wifi. And since I don't use MP3's, my FLAC files sound fantastic. With the equalizer, dark theme, and no problems, it is by far my favorite music player.

Double Twist is by far my favorite. So many awesome options
I am a Playerpro user all the way.....Poweramp is not bad, but its UI is a bit cumbersome. I take my players seriously, and have tried many. While driving, Poweramp becomes an accident waiting to happen if your trying to find a specific song or album coming from the actual player screen. Playerpro is much easier to navigate, much better UI and its options/features are comparable to Poweramp. Both have great album art support, and both are equal in sound quality (I have Martin Logan Sequal II electrostatic speakers that I have thoroughly tested both on). You also may notice that I am only mentioning these 2 players.................no reason to mention anymore!
aight cool lol i might try out all these man lol
I use google play music since its most convenient. Just wish i could play it via another player because its a very basic player.
Really wish i had the beats audio from my evo lte tho shii soumds gooooood
we don't see things as they are; we see things as we are.

What media player do you use?

I used a lot of ROMs, but I have not really got the best built in media player. The HTC stock player is good, but could be better, CM's Apollo is too much, and relies on data. I tried Sony Walkman, and just didn't like the UI. Then I downloaded Mixzing, it is good, but it is not simplistic. Don't get me wrong, I love messing with tweaks, but it just had too much going for it. However, I do keep it for identifying songs, and automatically filling in ID3 tags. So far, I am using Poweramp, and it is smooth and simple, but powerful as well.
Now if it just played videos, that would be great, but I have JoeVLC for that. The best darn VLC port on Android if you ask me.
Try doubleTwist (does audio and video, very clean ui) and maybe the miui music app. I use mvideoplayer for video. Great great video player.

Tried that. A bit farfetched, and money hungry for simple features. I was really looking for id3 editing. Plus 4.99 for wireless transfers? That is what open SSH is for

winamp on android doesn't take advantage of sound mods
Apollo, Only when I have This audio mod.
Makes the phone's speaker sound godly and the headphones sound even better.
Music: Poweramp. (the best music player so far)
Video: MX Player (trust me, It's the best in the market)
I use Nexmusic/Nexmusic Nightly Beta for music (obviously) haha and MX Player for videos (best video player EVER). For editing song info I use Pimp My Music.

I used to use this when I was running the Sense roms but it's currently not supporting 4.2.2 so I'm using this. Both of them make the phone loud and the audio pretty great. I leave BEATS BOOST on Slight, Equalizer on R&B, and sometimes I turn on the VIRTUAL ROOM EFFECT which I leave on Studio.

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?
Sent from my Cyanogenmod-Captivate.
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

Edge?What is the ultimate music listening/management suite of apps for the S7 edge?

Folks, I have a pretty large non-DRM .mp3 music library in iTunes. I have used ISyncr in the past, with my Galaxy s5, to bring down playlists and music and synchronize my Android phone to iTunes. Lately it hasn't been working well, probably because I have well over a thousand playlists.
I am also looking for the best music player, and wish to add Lyrics, and am intrigued by the Viper 4Android sound app, but I don't want to root my phone.
What do you all recommend as the best music player, the best app to sync iTunes, the best audio effects suite of apps to a music lover? Thanks so very much in advance for your help!
I've used all the free and paid music players over the years. Neutron is truly the only professional solution. It literally has every feature, where most players offer half of what neutron does. Poweramp is good for consumers too. Idk about iTunes syncing, I organize all my music in folders. Neutron has the most full featured non-root EQ, but if you're rooted eXtreme beats is coming out with a new revision soon.
for a regular user i think poweramp is the best music player.. nice sound and controls plus skinning. you can import playlists and export them as well.
Neutron is widely considered the best by audiophiles followed by Onkyo player (unlocked).
personally i leave the mp3 tagging stuff off of the phone. I havent found any apps that will properly list and tag mp3's as well as i can do it on a computer.
Assuming you're on windows, use MP3Tag to manage all your tags. it works on way more than mp3's, but it is by far the best solution for media library management.
For playback, i jump around on windows. Musicbee looks nice and is full featured. Winamp is nice. Foobar is very spartan and quite ugly but it works well and you can make it look more or less however you want, though it takes a lot of effort.
On the phone itself i use poweramp for music playback (though i do find the interface a bit clunky, and i dislike the "queue" thing it does). Neutron always gets good ratings. I had a horrible time with onkyo hf player. winamp is OK at best.
For audiobooks, i use SmartAudiobook Player. there are some weird bugginess issues, like when my head unit automatically starts the audiobook app instead of music, and refuses to play nice with it. Like if i stop the audiobook player and start music, sometimes the music will immediately stop and audiobooks will play instead. but my car is so damn loud that i use headphones while driving most of the time anyways.
I think JetAudio plus does a great job.
Where do I start lol...I have slowly turned into an audiophile and always look for the best audio on my phone so I have tried just about all the most popular music players / audio configs i could find on my phone,
I have also tried external DACS / Amplifiers and to be honest with my setup did not do much for me..I am running SOL Master Tracks XC headphones which are amazing with this phone and would totally recommend Neutron or Poweramp they seem to give the best sound from all I have tried and are also very customisable with the sound...
ViperFX is a must!! and the options / tweaks are just insane and what a difference it makes with a simple change of Convoler and EQ,
I use ViperFX with Dolby Atmos and Beats Audio which seems to me the best option and I flick between Neutron and Poweramp which i am still not decided on
What do you guys think of PlayerPro Music Player v3.7 ? I think it has the most features but I don't know how it compares to others, so I need your help to decide .

Player pro amazing app, I switched to Neutron which I am currently using and was using Poweramp before that, I find Neutron to give a more Natural better sound than others but Neutron / Poweramp / Player Pro and Jet music are ones id recommend
I'm a Poweramp fan myself.
There's an option in the app to opt into the beta, which let's you try an overhauled new version which improves on a lot of the old usability issues.

I use this. I've used it for a few years. I love it. Plenty of skins, downloadable DSP Pack for additional audio controls, has it's own lock screen. :good:
Thank you for your replies..
So I guess if I stick with PlayerPro Music Player ,I am not missing any other features and the sound of other players is not greater/nicer than this ?!
Stock, because there's no real difference.
the best is power amp beta version try someday
