Ive run several roms with beats, it is a good improvement over stock audio, but am curious to what people think of power amp and its functionability. Ive downloaded the trial and to me it seems better. Any thoughts?

Never used beats, but have had power amp for about a month and love it. Fiddling with the EQ really made a difference in my car while listening to music.

i absolutely love poweramp, it's one of the few apps i've shelled out cash for -- everything else is a free version with ads or whatever
I have to agree poweramp is awesome. the update with the beats audio actually made it 10x better IMO.
poweramp is soo good that once you get used to it, you actually stop caring about trying newer or diff alternatives. I have been using it for a few years and it keeps getting better and better, even when the dev releases a busted update, they are always quick to fix and will usually take suggestions from users on their forum and make it a reality in the next version, you can't beat that. Not to mention how epic the equalizer is, not even running a 3rd party EQ app and another music player have I come close to the sound quality I get with PowerAmp. Native album art downloader + lryics plugin form musicmatch (older pre player version ftw) , I just don't see how anything can compete with PowerAmp for playing back local music.

when i tried out poweramp i didn like it . It just seemed clunky. I prefer the sense 3.5 music player. It sounds good, looks good, and has an automatic album art downloader
the only time i use poweramp is to have a insane bass eq my friend made if someone wants to hear how loud beats can get
PowerAMP ftw! One of a double handful of apps that I've purchased. Used it on my EVO, even better on my Thunderbolt.

You can always find and install dspmanager apk.

n7player!!!
there is no "the best" music player. Someone swear for that app someone for another. There are just opinions about these players.
Anyway, i would give a +1 to poweramp, and I'd mentioned Cloudbreaker. It is also a nice one, I think. I used to use poweramp as well as nhely, just after 30 days it didnt work for free, and i should bought it to use it again (maybe for ever).
I would NOT recommend winamp!
And yes, u can install that dspmanager, and u can use EQ. But if u are a "whiteear", then u dont wanna do it. In that way u kill the music. Try to use quality head/earphones just like AKG, Senheiser. It matters a lot, trust me!
+1 for poweramp aswell
Best Bass Music App
How about the ported Beats Audio apk from the HTC Rezound?? Doesn't that give you all the EQ adjustments that made that phone so special?
I didn't know where to post this but oh well. I currently use the stock music player that comes with the galaxy s2 but one thing I don't like say you're listening a playlist and a song then close the app and reopen the it will not be at the song or time you closed the app. So can someone recommend me a decent music player that doesn't have bugs and has the feature above?
the best of the best is poweramp with stylish design and tons of features and if you like it (which i'm sure you will) you should consider buying the full version un-locker
I like doubleTwist. It looks good and it's functional. It's free unlike PowerAmp(which is good too!)

I'm using PowerAMP from the beginning of my trip with Android (it's 2 years already / SGS2 is my 4th phone with Android). Best player for me.
...
poweramp for sure
Flash MIUI...
It has the best music player hands down. Plus you don't have to pay fit it.

PowerAMP gets my vote too - great design, powerful feature set, it really is the best.
WinAmp comes a close second if you want a good free option
Well i know the equalizer on it doesn't work for sure! So i'm assuming the whole zip doesn't work? I have an Epic 4g Touch running the Re-Calked rom. Can someone give me any insight or alternatives?
A couple of things to consider....
What type of ROM are you running and is it compatible with the Beats installation package?
I ask that question because I use the Samsung G-Note and I was running BlackStar X which is an awesome ROM yet the software was fully compatible with the ROM which is ICS, so I switched to The Collective AoCP ROM and the software works awesome with the stock player which I think is Apollo.
The next question is if the ROM is compatible, will the music player going to accept the Beats audio driver?
I ask that one because the second problem I encountered was it wasn't compatible with PlayerPro, my favorite music player. It doesn't matter what ROM I'm running it on, the music player won't accept the Beats audio driver.
So perhaps try the original stock music player first before ruling out the ROM, then you may want to explore other ROM options should that not work out for you. I didn't want to give up my player and ROM, but I'm an audiophile first, then a gadget man. Good luck bro.
Somewhere I saw beats zip, so I just installed it, I am a new noob then . After that there was no beats icon or install indication of beats and also I lost my dsp manager. Now I cant open dsp mnager and after every boot dsp force closed. How can I fix this???

only way is to restore a backup (because you DID a backup prior to install beats, didn't you?)
As I said, at that time I m a noob. so no backup. I think i have to reinstall rom. is there any need of dsp manager? music is going on fine. I just want to remove that error of dsp crash.
Sent from Atrix 4G.
Nah, there is no need of dsp (althroug, this is subjetive).. to get rid of that message try disabling dsp effects on android settings, so it won't try to load on boot..
in fact, on my atrix, whenever i enable dsp effects i get the effects plus a very annoying background noise... so i didn't miss it when i installed beats...
The dsp manager is crash because you use the equalizer
You have uninstall the app and afted reinstall the app
P.S. Dont use the equalizer
Sorry bad english

Beats and DSP manager are mutually exclusive, it's a widely known fact. Just like the fact you don't actually need either. Just like the fact you should ALWAYS make backups no matter what, regardless of your level of expertise. Every tutorial and procedure says that but unfortunately hardly anyone listens.
If you only want to get rid of the crash errors, just delete /system/app/DSPManager.apk (or similar, depending on your system) with a root-level file manager.
thanks ravilov & andresrivas, now i m not getting any errors. From know on I will backup my rom before any nasty experiment!! Is there any way to enhance the quality of music in Atrix 4G??
Sent from Atrix 4G.
you're welcome
enhance even more? humm.. you could try a different player, but of all that i've tested, connected music player had the best quality (yes, the stock motorola player).
Also, the quality of the rip makes almost the 90% of the diff... i can pass you a couple of very high quality mp3 so you can see what im talking about

Hi. Am new to this forum. Am too facing the same problem as sumit77seo and haven't taken any rom backup. As suggested by ravilov, I checked my /system/app and there is no dspmanager.apk. when I try to run apps like folder player or equalizer, it crashes. Pls advice me how to resolve this.

Ok, no offence here, but if you ask to have a beautiful sound even after dsp manager or beats mod is because you actually LOVE to hear music with your phone!
As far as i know, we are listening mp3 at 292kb/s and from that point (I'm a sound mixer/masterer for my music band and quality past that point will mostly NOT be noticeable for any low quality headphones ! I got shurf proffessionnal studio wich cost me 350$ and a normal pair of Sony headphone that cost me 45 and there is no major difference after testing with Sony's but but i admit that there is a huge differences with my proffessional headphones with the sampling play rate!
I supposed if he tried with dsp and with beats and not yet satisfied ,i guess he didn't really want stock player and high quality mp3, unless he is having a good pit of headphones and a good amount of SD card space to contain high quality mp3 past over 320kb/s with an bipollarising ......
Ad i understand, you need power and softness on your phone sound as far as i understand ...
So this way going to be your player apk
Let me say that if you have a couple of buks to use in a player on the store, you are going to enjoy it !
I use to play music a lot with ny mono bluetooth and AFAIK mono BT are made to talk ! Not to listen music .... but i did use poweramp, with sound noddulling and it is amazing after a couple of tweaks within the player equaliser and the stereo enhencer and : WOW !
I can say that there are aany out there but for me after 20 bucks of trying different knowned paid music apk, power amp is really the best !
Soo, my suggestion : as andresrivas said, make sure that your mp3 quality are at a good level
And have a powerfull music player on your phone! The mod is kinda helping but .... not really as powerfull as tweaks with player equalizer !
A small fact : once, I've connected my atrix soundcard trough the headphone Jack into the aux in on a DJ table in a nightclub (le shack) and using poweramp, my everyday equalizer, he didn't touch anything on his table equalizer, and the sound was great! Lot of bass, crystal clear sound .... He seriously told me that my output was better than his iPhone! So, i guess we got to be proud of our atrix

best way is flashing a backup or another rom.. in your case, you must flash the stock rom..
you could also try to delete data for folder player and not using its internal eq or dsp...

you got me right, I need soft and powerful sound. :thumbup:
So u are telling me to use Poweramp but with some tweaks. Can u explain the tweaks. to me
Currently I am using a player called noozy(not in the market) https://www.box.com/s/pkvfwflqlvd553p1mgtl

Thanks for the clarifications. I tried what u suggested but still then the market apps folder player and equalizer crash. I didn't take backup of rom and have learnt my 1st lesson . Do up know what files need to be restored after uninstalling beats ? Can those stock rom files be downloaded?

Is your device rooted?? If yes then why stock rom, there are plenty excellent roms out there.
