Music players with the B&O module - LG G5 Questions & Answers

Does anyone know if all music player apps will benefit from the B&O module or if it only becomes "active" through the default LG Music app? Thanks!

Best music player

I'm not sure if there is already a thread for music players because you can't search with xda apppppp. Correct me if I am wrong. What do you guys think is the best music player/app?
I really liked the Samsung music player.
Stock one on the atrix sucks I think. It freezes from time to time and does some funky shewt
Edit: I am wrong. You can search......

Ditto. I needed an app that played wav files for work (voicemail forwards) and ended up with an awesome music player.

Has the leaked music app.
Winamp is (in my opinion) the best. It offers everything doubleTwist does plus wireless sync is free. The doubleTwist app on the PC side is sluggish and bloated whereas Winamp is quite speedy and lightweight comparatively speaking. doubleTwist does offer streaming to ps3/360 but you can do that already using DLNA so it doesn't really matter.
DoubleTwist FTW... The leaked music app is good looking but too laggy for my constant use

Cubed.
I ended up having to root and freeze the default music player so it would stop trying to take over music duties via bluetooth controls. I had that problem with a few other players too, not just cubed, so if you are using it to stream music via bluetooth, something to think about doing.
Cubed.
So smooth and visually appealing.
WinAmp FTNW! (for the nostalgia win!)
Works pretty well too, and has wifi sync. I mostly just use the player in gtunes or pandora though.

+1 the equalizer in this player is amazing - I'm using the headphones setting and it sounds great.
I like DoubleTwist as well.. easy to sync music and movies
PowerAMP
If you haven't tried PowerAMP for a music player, you really haven't unleashed your Android's music abilities. Hands down the best music player you will ever use, and easily worth the $5 to get the pro version. Check it out!
???!!!
The only problem wit this one is that even if u remove the stock player it wont work with bluetooth streaming/controling...
..Maybe were missing some libraries or something a dev could help us please ;-)

[Q]Best music player

Which music player do you use? I'm using PlayerPro + DSP Pack...
Poweramp all the way... but if u prefer slightly (IMO) better sound, free app, and can stand the interface, try rockbox.
I use rockbox mainly, but keep poweramp just in case.

Rockbox is with or without the equalizer?

Ofc. audio-life.co.uk/apps/rockbox_android/ it's a free app.
Once again I remind u don't judge it by its interface, but its capabilities and in-depth settings. Take some times to learn and trust ur own ears.
Rockbox is very famous in other audio player, such as sansa clip, cowon,iPod classic, etc..

it can play "almost" all audio formats. i only have lossless (flacs, etc) collections in my pc, and rockbox can play all of them.
try to google it first. soundwise, it's the nicest.
where I can set an equalizer? I cannot find it...
PowerAmp Its the Best!
The sound its much better, and you can volume up more from the limits on equalizer deck!
Hi... In my opinion, PlayerPro v.2.04 is the best... it has equalizer plug-in and also many skins are available... Album-arts can be added easily and even you can choose a custom album-art... It works more smoothly than poweramp and uses less system resources.... a free version is also available but no equalizer (still wonderful sound quality) but the paid version is perfect...

I use the new "Music" app from Google.I think it's the best.

Player Pro
Player Pro is the only music player app I even consider using anymore. The features, customization and performance are much better than I've seen with any other player. You can customize the look at feel, the way it acts and everything to suit yourself perfectly.
Power Amp pro, well worth the price. All Ive ever used, all ever will.

I have 2 main Players, PowerAmp Pro and N7 Both are super...Poweramp is good for sound, N7 is pretty good sound, but better Eyecandy.
anyone got a rec on a music player that plays music stored in dropbox?
Poweramp with good ear buds or cans, n7 because that app is beautiful. Poweramp is a beast when it comes to the audio engine its built on, works with beats, SRS, has a 10 band eq, stereo expansion, presets, ability to assign custom presets, id3 editor, basic lyrics support. I love poweramp just a bit more then n7 but both my top picks

well, i got Music Dropnplay to work. the bad? the free version only lts you stream 8 songs at a time. the good? the count is by song, not file size. streamed 8 phish tunes last and that was almost 2hrs of music.
also tried cloudaround. it synced w/ db, but it mixed up a few album tracks so i never ran it.
someone suggested cloudskipper, but i couldn't see any way to get it to sync w/ db.
i'll keep looking and probably buy the full version of dropnplay at some point.
The MIUI music app is always a constant for me. It's very clean and to the point with folder usage. Not sure it uses beats though.

Poweramp is the best audio player for Android. Well worth the purchase!
Make sure you configure the settings to only play from a specific folder once you install it.
I have two players on my phone: Poweramp and Playerpro. Both of them work like a charm. Sometimes it's a matter of taste.

Any equalizer that works with our phones and play music?

I've been looking for an equalizer for music... ideally one that works with any music app I choose, but in particular one that works with Google Play music (just because all my music is already in there).
I've tried several, and while a couple kind of worked (they show up as available choices when you hit Equalizer in Play Music's settings), they either only sometimes actually have an effect, or eventually will cause no audio out of the player whatsoever and I usually have to reboot to get it back.
Others, while they seem to work fine for the built in music player, don't seem to do anything for Play music. We don't have the audio effects menu in our sound settings which may have something to do with how the audio is routed which may be why most of these are not useful.
Try this one. I've used with good results

Thanks. That's probably the one I'd had the best luck with in the past, but it's still been hit-or-miss.
you can also try Viper4android from playstore. It is an excellent app for rooted phones. I have been using for the last few months, and it gives an excellent sound response from almost any earphone, with superb facility to tune, and adjust to your liking.
Plus one for vipermod. Been using it a while, it works well.

DAC enabler for all players. anybody tried it?

This app was written for the V10, but I'm wondering if anybody has tried it on their V30?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.lgv10.dacfix
This is old and was only for the Lollipop version of the V10. Back then LG only enabled the DAC for certain apps, while there was a bypass with voicemail if I recall correctly. However due to complaints or whatever LG made it so all apps use DAC when it is enabled now, so there is no point to get this.

Awesome. Can't wait to go back to power amp or something newer. Samsung music is decent, but it's missing many features I enjoyed on my G4. Some reason other music players on Samsungs don't play well with metadata transfers to stereos.
Yep you can now use quad dac AND EQ from other app. Gotta have that bass [emoji41]

Yep Jet audio HD allows for some great plugins. Gives user immense control of how audio sounds. I own most of the plugins.
The USB audio player app if you ever want to use a DAC. Interface sucks though.
For a free player I would recommend Sony Music app port. My favorite music player. EQ stuff don't work on ports but still the best player around!

If you can use the DAC from any player, then what's this about below?
mlknez said:
I'm sorry, but this was a HORRIBLE review..
You didn't say when you can and cannot use the Sabre DAC in the system. What is good about it and what is horrible. You also fail to mention that the MQA playback ability really does not work and all 44.1khz CD quality PCM is upconverted to 48khz with awful artifacts. You also should mention that the only way to play DSD on this device is to use the very basic stock LG Music Player

I'm not exactly sure what that person was saying most of the time in that post so sorry.
USB player pro plays my DSD 2.8MHz files. So does that new HiBimusic app.
It also shows that it was paying back at 176400HZ, so I don't see a DAC limitation of just 44k or 48.1k.
The point is that the DAC now works with 3rd party apps, not just the native LG music app.
