What's the best music player to use for the best audio quality as all my music are 320kbps,
Thanks
It doesn't matter with mp3s.
As sound is subjective i suggest you try them all .
Or even read the Music Players Review Thread in guess where Themes and Apps .
jje
Neutron is supposedly the best for sound quality, even though it's UI sucks. PowerAmp is also really good.
i had no idea that the actual player software could change the sound quality. isn't it hardware related?
i use mortplayer btw it's awesome!
I use neutron and poweramp. The sound field stuff in nice in the I9300 native app, but it has many problems -- not the least of which is it doesn't like to be turned off once you turn it on.
Google Music is plain terrible.

i have used neutron mp. it has great sound quality but user interface sucks. a very dull widget and no headphone controls. can someone guide me to similar sound quality music player with good user interface. please do not suggest poweramp because neutron mp sound is far better than that. please help..
There are some players you can try such as Meridian, Mort Player, WinAMP, TTPod (maybe you will like this one)....
Currently I'm using AndLess (for APE/FLAC playback) and the default player.
PlayerPro, It's like PowerAMP, but i prefer poweramp, yesterday I bought it ^^
ok.. i will test these players..
i got a question about the native android mp3 player. its VERY slow in scrolling though songs. and pics of albums take time to refresh. its annoying. is there a faster mp3 player in the android market but that delivers the same sound quality of the native android mp3 player?
Sound quality, get PlayerPro or PowerAmp.
Want functionality and extreme style, nothing beats UberMusic for me.
There's more on the market, but those are tops for me.
Ubermusic is awesome give it a try. I turned off the album art cuz it downloads a band pic for the background. Pretty snazzy.

I really like winamp, but haven't tried ubermusic yet.

Ubermusic is extremely stylish and has a great UI straight from Zune, which IMO is the best UI. I also use MusicFX for my EQ and it seems to work well with Ubermusic. To use MusicFX, after you download it, go into your stock music app and go to settings and there will be an extra menu Sound Settings. Enable it there and Ubermusic will use the settings as well.
For the best of the best in terms of features and sound quality, you can compile your own build of Rockbox.
Or just ask me to make a build.
Only drawback is that it's not written for Android, but rather, other portable digital jukeboxes. The amount of features though far surpass those of any other apps.
You should give PowerAmp a try.
Miui player, no doubt. Beautiful ui with lyric download support. Smooth scrolling.

But then you have to be on MIUI, which can be problematic...
Nope, nothing beats UberMusic for me.
Another vote for Rockbox for sound quality
I also like MortPlayer for its focus on folder play.
If PowerAmp were priced more around $3 and the UI wasn't so 'customized' I'd go for it.. It's just over the top.
Zune UI? Ugh. Really?
I've tried a bunch and honestly I keep just going back to Music Mod. It's an updated version of the Froyo music player with a few added features and nicer widgets.
TTPOD
I have tried all of the above and only miui came close to ttpod perfomance....For me TT-pod is the best music player and its absolutely freee......
you dont have to be on miui for the player... there are standalone versions to download here in this forum

You don't need to. The apk is standalone.
none of you guys ever in to gapless albums? so far i've only had Jukefox that satisfies my gapless needs
I strongly recommend Jukefox, Mixzing or PlayerPro in terms of functionality.
Another vote for Rockbox.
Gapless, ReplayGain, crossfeed, proper shuffle and equalizer and it plays virtually any format, even tracker formats and nes roms. Takes a bit of getting used to, but once you know what to do, it's great.
There are some precompiled builds for different screen sizes here:

Oh wow, someone actually compiled it and put it up for everyone! And I was thinking I was going to offer builds to the community, but I guess someone already beat me to it!
Thanks for the link.
For me, gapless, replaygain (omg replaygain! I don't know any other mobile player that supports it other than Sansas), and I can use my themes and configuration files across 3 different devices: Android, my Toshiba F, and my Sansa e200.
Glad I could help. I didn't make the builds nor do I host them, though. I just found that link on the rockbox forums
I bought poweramp and have been using it this while and its very good and is pretty extensive in terms of features that one expects from an audio player.(normal user audience and not audiophiles). tried ubermusic today and it sounds better than poweramp(or may be just louder) but does not have any equalizer options for now. Also scrolling is a pain if you have more songs/albums.
Will try rockbox as many here have recommended.from the precompiled builds link which apk should i download for sgs2?
WOW! I tried doing a search for a good music player app, and was overwhelmed with posts -- too many to be able to search through effectively.
My Zune finally died. But I found that my 16G SD card works just fine!
Is there a good player that will let you use album covers instead of general crappy pics? Maybe even something that works through the lock screen (so I don't have to be messing with my phone that much while driving)? I use my phone as my mp3 player now, and use an aux port to plug into my car radio.
PowerAmp it is THE BEST!

Poweramp is seriously good. Great interface, plenty of features. Displays cover art. Lockscreen controls work well.
Neutron has slightly better sound quality with lossless files to my ears, but the interface is a bit of a pig (even tho the dev has introduced native playlist support recently), so you'd only use it if you're prepared to put up with the fiddly interface.
I was listening to my music on WMA and i came across the enhancements. SRS WOW to be exact. After setting the WOW to max, i experienced such great sound i could barely believe it. i was wondering if there was some way to recreate this on my galaxy player
yes

There are several apps that affect sound quality:
Noozxoide is one
There's viper for android, I've been trying to get this to work on my SGP5 running pac-rom 4.3 but have had no luck. works on 4.2 though
There's also flashable zip files that you can try like ac!d audio, awesome beats, and pure audio, i've had no success with those myself.
Also depends on your audio player, theres noozy, neutron player, poweramp (my choice).

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.
