i own an ipad & it has the best sound quality i ever heard !!
but sammy's musicplayer was lil bit crappy, so Can anyone suggest me a good musicplayer app for SGSII with iPad sound quality ?!!
Try PowerAmp (maybe with some equalizer app), but word is SGS2 will never have good sound, sorry.
Yeah unfortunately the music players don't affect the sound quality, although some allow you to edit the EQ which can help depending on what you're listening with.
My preference is Player Pro. To follow Lifehacker's style...
Where it excels:
- Lots of free good quality skin options
- Reliable lock screen controls
- Can override headset click
- Override volume buttons to allow skip fw/back
- 5 star ratings both in player and on lock screen
- Can show lyrics, download album art automatically
Where it falls short:
- It doesn't seem to have great playlist editing or "smart playlists"
- No iTunes or PC syncing
- The widgets could be better

I currently use PowerAMP -
The large widget displays album art nicely on the Galaxy Note and it has a good eqaulizer, HOWEVER.... Tons of wakelocks - looking for the equivalent features with less wakelocks. It's eating up Battery and uses CPU quite heavily....
or maybe a widget for the stock music player that displays album art/controls?
I'm looking for a good music app with a fairly decent and modern UI? My favorite music player is n7 Player, but it's not compatible with Dolby Atmos and disables it, so everything else sounds horrible. I've also tried it with v4A, and it does something to it when you get a notification or call and you have to restart your phone for it to work correctly again.
I've tried A BUNCH of them, let me list what I have not and what I've tried.
What I have:
Could Player (by Double Twist) - My current main music app = Good features, but fairly "bland" in the UI dept, but not ugly or outdated - just "bland"
Shuttle + has been my simple, backup player for over 4 years - Just not a not of features, but very reliable and I never have problems with it
XenoAmp = I just started using this one last month, still not sure about it?? Very different, not too logically laid out
What I've tried (most, just this week):
The stock app... Nobody uses the stock app (I don't like it)
PowerAmp (alpha) - Can't stand the UI
Neutorn - Can't stand the UI, reminds me of an 80s video game
Pulse - Is basically like Shuttle
Music Player (by Ankit P Agrawal) - Just found this one, evaluating it before I purchase it
Timber - Not all the album art downloads
AIMP - Didn't like
PlayerPro - I bought the pro version this week, way too laggy and buggy - freezes up, won't change songs
JetAudio HD - Nice, has a noticable volume drop on the speakers - Also has a boring UI
Rocket Player - Love it, but the Cloud Expansion pack crashes the app and makes it unusable. Without it, over half my album art is missing.
Wave Music Player - Don't like
Minima - Still in beta and not a lot of features
Black Player - Didn't like
Pi Music player - didn't like
Flatnote - Didn't like (not all album art downloaded)
Stellio Music Player - I bought it over a year ago, just don't like it
Dub Music Player - didn't like
Phonograpy - didn't like
Vortex - Didn't like
Crimson - Didn't like
Abbey - I wanted to like this one, but didn't load all album art
There's been so many more I've tried, some I didn't like, about 4 or 5 completely disabled Dolby Atmos...... But maybe someone has one I haven't tried?
If you ask what I like??
I want n7 to work again, dang it!
Dark Theme
Easy access to Artist and then an album lay-out under Artist
I'd like an EQ I can use along with Dolby, that doesn't disable it or override it.
A nice "now playing" screen
Album and artist art download for all, or most, of my 2500+ songs
Try Music from Sony. Either search for a port or use the one which can be installed during the installation of Viper arise.
They included one more optional music player called Esira. Just tried it once but I prefer the one from Sony.
Google Play Music is compatible with Dolby and it gets the job done for me.
I'm also using sony music app
Jet audio is the best player available

Going to try it. loving neutron at the moment, wish they cleaned up UI.
Update: listened it for a bit... I approve the app, will be buying pro version to show support.
I've been using Rocket Player and Jet Audio and I like them both. However, I also have ARISE installed and let that take care of audio enhancement. For me, it comes down to which UI I like best.
Poweramp paid version
I've got the paid/pro versions of:
Jet Audio - Didn't like the fact it didn't load all my album art
Rocket Player - If I want my album art, I have to use the Cloud add-on and it constantly crashses the app. Support thinks its some of my song causing the issue, but can't tell me which ones (even with a catlog).
PowerAmp (my first Android purchase several years ago) - Can't stand the outdated UI any more.
I tried the evaluation period of Neutron, exclusively, and tried to like the UI....But couldn't
This is the newest one I've found that I really like the UI on - But you can't use the built in EQ the same time as Doly: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ankit.musicplayer.pro
I'm going to look for the Sony app and try it.

Not sure why, then, Jet Audio won't load 75% of my album art, or artist art? May be because some of it is stuff I've had for 20 years?
But, in saying that... The other two players find 95% of the art?
In the pics, the 1st one is Jet, the 2nd one is Music (Ghost music), the 3rd is Cloud music (by Double Twist)
onkyo.
"err on the side of kindness"
Kind of liking Gone Mad Music player... It's pretty powerful and customizable at the same time, all while being 100% compatible with Dolby Atmos. So, you can leave Dolby on and turn on the Gone Mad EQ and tweak it more and Dolby Atmos stays on. It also populated most of the album art. Artist art is just a list, but I guess I'd rather have it all one way instead of missing an artist picture.
Double Twist Cloud Player is what I've been using for the past 6 months and still like it, I guess I'm just a little bored of the UI - But it is also compatible with Dolby Atmos in the same way.
I like the Sony music app (found it in the Apps & Games section here on XDA), but it only uses the system EQ (Dolby Atmos), which is fine for a quick and easy music app.....But I'd like to be able to use Dolby Atmos along with an apps built in EQ to fine tune my audio player without the need to adjust Dolby each time I need to fine tune my EQ, because Dolby is not the easiest to do a fine tune adjustment to.... You have to start all over when you touch it.
How did you install the Sony music player? Package installer says the app isn't compatible. Are you running stock?

I'm stock rooted 7.1.1.
Here's the one I used: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...sony-xperia-music-9-3-5-0-0-port-apk-t3555386
The problem with most of the players around is that they don't play every format. I use VLC (nightly version). It just plays everything.

That'd the issue. I used the apk from APKMirror. Thanks
I've been using the Gone Mad Music Player for the past week now and I think this may have filled the void I was missing with a music app! Looks GREAT, sounds GREAT, very customizable, easy to use and all my album art fills in.
I have purchased gone mad power amp and neutron. After setting them up I like the sound you can get out of neutron the most. Ui is rough learning curve is rough but the sound is sweet.
The new very stable poweramp beta is amazing
Yep. I found an awesome solution. There's a stable beta in production of poweramp. I know... Great UI.... Mediocre sound, right? Not anymore. It's absurdly good. Whole new build focused on audiophile sound quality. Its literally the best sounding player I've used on android and I have some good earphones.
To get it to work with dolby atmos you need to change a setting. Under Audio/output / select high res output (experimental). Works beautifully on the axon. Poweramps eq is much better than dolby's 4 band and you can use it with dolby.
Under advanced tweaks / enable musicfx.
There is also an experimental feature to add more volume notches in the audio volume control in the advanced tweaks section.
With the right pair of headphones this player sounds ridiculously good! Make sure your axon is set to headset hi-fi in the sound settings.
Just Google search poweramp beta it might be available on the bottom of the poweramp Google play page as well.
Audio nirvana!
Cheers!
