I know this has been threaded many times.. but with updates to players and new players, I'm wondering what you all are using these days and pros and cons.
I've used PowerAMP fairly exclusively and when I wanna stream for some music I don't have or wanna hear different things, I use Slacker Pro.
I love PowerAMP, but am getting a little tired of keeping all my music on my sdcard. So I have been toying around with Google music..excuse me, Google "Play" Music (eyeroll)... Combined with DSP Manager, I must say its pretty good. But I don't think its good enough to ditch the power of poweramp.... Id put it at roughly 80% of the sound quality of PA.
Yes im using a Rezound, but I HATE beats audio. All it does is add some bass.
So what are you guys using?
Winamp any good? I heard it syncs with desktop app...?

I tried almost all mediaplayer finally now I'm sticked with PlayerPro Music Player....
I didn't like winamp....ya it works with your PC wimamp software but I suppose only it's pro version.....
I use power amp I've tried other music players but its the only one I keep going back to, it just has the best sound quality IMO.
Power Amp is well worth the five dollars. Its customization options make the difference - you don't want the same level of bass and treble on everything.
Spotify + DSP Manager
poweramp and miui
poweramp and miui. but i like poweramp most. they both got shake gesture controls
Since I've recently kissed windows goodbye, Banshee is what I like to use in linux.

for me I use n7 power pro and the stock music player. Sometimes cloud skipper they are all different I just try to see which one sounds good to my ears.

I personally use Winamp, although it is slowly turning bad (paying to adjust sound levels?), poweramp was alright when i tried it, but i see no reason to pay for a media player when the stock ICS media player and winamp do the job just fine.
N& Player for me, i like the interface of that player ...
And i also prefer ZPlayer because of the Windows mobile music player interface
Have you tried PlayerPro or n7player? are great

And what about power amp, I have heard very good of he.
Maybe I missed something, but does anyone know why Google Music still has no player widgets or lockscreen controls?
Power App all the way

or why the hell they haven't made other widget options like transparency.
I still use Google Music or Winamp Pro ... beats audio mod
I stand corrected: they have a whack looking little 4x1 widget that it looks like someone took five minutes to make. Shame that such a great music concept has received so little polish.
I use N7 player because i like the interface
I personally like PowerAMP
I use Google Music, haven't even tried any other player...
The beats audio thing is good only if you have Beats headphones. It recognizes it and optimizes the equalizer for the headphones you have plugged in. My Beats Solos sound quite good on my Evo LTE. I honestly haven't tried any other players yet but just wanted to point out that the built in stuff works good with Beats specific headphones.
Quick question,
I was wondering if I could stream my music from Google, and use my EQ setting from poweramp. I know it's kind of a Noob question, but My SD card is filling up and I want to listen to my music with good EQ settings.
And if it helps I am S-offed, I'm running CleanRom DE 1.3..
Bump.
DSP EQ

I use this, and it integrates into Google Music. Works almost as well as PowerAmps!

Your awesome! I remember using this on my D1 Along time ago, but i couldn't remember the name lol.
So do I just install like a regular side-loaded app, or what?
So i have stuck it out with google music. I have close to 7000 songs uploaded.
The one thing that kills me is shuffle on a playlist. It seems i keep getting the same songs playing and it never really shuffles through them all. After many google searches i see others having the same issue. Nothing recent though. Anyone else have this issue or know of google is aware?
Is it the player or the service? I dont know of any other cloud service like this except for the upcoming xbox music.
This shuffle thing is really annoying.

If Google Music gives some problems you can install a different player like Walkman works much better than the system app
I use the XPeria S Music Playe with Beats audio. It does the job
Do all of these work with the streaming of google music?

Automatically syncs with DSP manager
:good:
really good sound
dsp manager and apollo make by far the best sound for my music, I immediately noticed the difference, I downloaded other music players and by far nothing beats apollo and dsp manager and tbh I am not particularly fond of how apollo player works, i dont like the fact it doesnt have the ability to play music by folders and when you are searching for a particular song it wont give a drop down menu with pre-search matches like most other players do, it is clunky to make a 'play list' not really great for helping you search the song you need to find (specially when you got 10gigs of music in your sd card) but I just cant leave apollo+dsp player due to how amazing the sound quality is, and I know prob some musicians or sound experts out there can get better sound quality with other players that have the advanced features to tune different sounds but I am not a sound expert and I dont really know how to 'tune' this players to what I get out of the box with apollo+dsp manager.
Does anyone know of a player that syncs with dsp manager as well as apollo does, I tried a few but no cigar

Try Play music,,
Now I am using Viper4android with toggling between Play music and xperia walkmaan Music player... It is awesome..
Just buy a decent pair of in-ears (what I prefer) or buy good headphones.
Also it's a bit of a personal thing, others want more bass and less treble.. Also depends on what kind of music you listen.
Personally I like and have the Sennheiser CX-400 Precision, it produces a ''Lifelike Sound''. It all sounds really natural.
Also depends if you buy/download the song in ''Original state'' MP3 file in 320kbps or FLAC (around 1000kbps) or rip it from YouTube. Want to mention that you almost can't notice any difference between MP3 and FLAC when listening with normal speakers, with good headphones/in-ears you do but not a lot, but you can hear the sound is a bit more sharp.
The worst thing you can do is rip song from YouTube because it's already converted once while uploading it so audio quality isn't as good as the original copy, and then you are gonna rip it from YouTube and than it becomes again a bit worse, even if you convert it to 320kbps, it is already not a real 320kbps one anymore.
About the music players.. I'm stuck with Poweramp, with his features like cross-fade which you can set per ms, the themes you can apply for a nice KitKat/Jelly Bean or whatever you want interface, and the ability that you can long-press the song you're playing at the moment and get a pop-up of,
1) All the music from that specific artist.
2) The whole album of the relevant song you're playing.
3) The map where the file is in.
Good audio quality depends on multiple things.
Peace.

Yup most my music is either 192 or 320kbps just because I 'suffer' from real fine audio detection in my ears and it bugs the **** out of me when my music doesnt sound crisp and detailed with each instrument noticeable within the music. I call it 'suffering' because when I hear the fukin radio or some other low quality audio source (Pandora on low bandwith setting blaawhh).
So I immediately noticed when I played music through Apollo with the DSP manager in the settings I preferred. I have tried power amp, google play music, and many other players and equalizers in the Play Store and around the web (viper4android) and its just not the same for MY preference of audio. Granted I am not an audio engineer so it is prob me not knowing how to tune the different audio tools but for my low level audio exp Apollo+dsp manager in android kitkat has been by far my favorite.

Does anyone know any solution for making any equalizer work with soundcloud ? I guess, those you used or use soundcloud, noticed that no equalizer, nor built-in ones , work with soundcloud, so i was wondering if there's anything i can do about it. I know about my cloud player and i got sick of it, so yeah..
