Which is the best audio player for WM - WITH BEST AUDIO QUALITY!!!!

Hi
Im looking for a audio player which has the best audio quality- please suggest something!!
I basically need an audio player which plays mp3 has a lot of functions(EQ, bass boost etc.) and has the best audio quality!!!
I need it because I have a "kicka**" sound system from "Magnat" at home and I want to reach its full potential, of more than 2000 wats from my Touch HD & my phone is being used as a media center in a lot of parties, cuz I have the biggest music libary on my phone!!!!!!
the inbuilt music player in tf3d is good. it has an equaliser but no volume control if you choose to use it, but then you could control the volume which your music system.
the inbuilt music player is ****.
try pocketplayer or mortplayer. these are really professional players.
but dont expect huge differences in sound output, they will be the same. it depends on what you set in the equalizers..
have you tried lcg jukebox .... !!! try it
There is Phantasm Music Player (40iPlay), but it is hard to buy it because of the paranoid policy of its author.
Using 3rd party players you cannot use remote controls on headsets (for example I'm using Nokia BH-503 with my HD). Am I right?
External controls seems fine... so far

Not true really, as I use Nitrogen (audio/music player) and it works fine with both my SE MBW-150 and HBH220 Bluetooth adapter. Both needing a little messing with, but allows me to choose next track, pause and play.
I'd would prefer not to use an additional music player, because it always needs messing around with to get fully working with all these random toys, but the inbuilt music player, including WM6.5 media player all suck and no easy to just select a folder and play all at random, which is all I want ever really.
(any suggestions would be nice to know)

PocketPlayer works with bluetooth control (A2DP) since version 3.71.
Mortplayer does not support it thanks to new Manila.
Blame HTC, they introduced some fu**ing "tweak" so that only the manila Player has access to the bluetooth control. Pocketplayer can do it because they reverse engineered the problem.
Just loosing your time
Sorry but you are just loosing your time...
I have spent some time trying to find a solution and I am back to my Ipod to drive my Home sound system (Magnat by the way ).
Your problem has nothing to do with the Software you will use but is has to do with the hardware limitations of these little WM device.
The best sound system will always require the best source as poor dynamic range, frequency response or noise level are hidden by poor sound systems but amplified by top quality ones.
Not convinced?
Just have a look, what you will read will confirm what you hear !

Maybe one day we will have a real all-in-one device. But not today !

I also have bh-503 -- it worked with my old ipaq 1940 with all players - so it has to be manila bug, but I havent noticed it!!!

Before the HD I had Nokia 5610, with the "dedicated sound chip" , I can hear a big differnece beetween the two-- HD - louder & more bass
so the HD is already an improvement!!!
But still some bad things can be covered with good software and sound system!!!!
BTW-- Magnat - ROCKS!!!! 800W subwoofer & some more speakers with more than 2000 wats of power can bring your whole house down!!!!!

Hi, the HD doesnt have great sound quality full stop i am afraid, I would say dont worry too much about which player, find one that you find comfortable to use, some are too complex non finger friendly menus for instance. All players have decent Eq's and so you should be able to get the best out of the HD with any player.
hope this helps.

You can do this with Core Player if you disable scan card at start up option and select anything from your storage card rather than from a library. Sound quality better than my Ipod IMO. It has a preamp option.

mortplayer is ****tttt and very complicated to use and too slow with hd and has issues with uninstalling and pocket player is slow on HD as well stick to media player and htc touch flo included player they do the job and hell yaaaa there will be no difference in the sound output so why a third party and ram issues stick to original with this and if you are looking for a light player easy to use try s2p iplayer it looks good and it works great but i did uninstall it and i do use htc included player better than anything.
Pure and simple
@custardo01 - Thanks! I actually use Core player already, but mainly for video playback only, as I the GUi so unfriendly... it's an ugly package, but I guess it works well. However Nitrogen feels most friendly to me right now and easy to use when cycling on the London roads.
In regards to the sound quality, I actually think the quality of the HTC Touch HD is pretty dam good. I've tried various portable toys from dedicated portable audio players, mobile phone and those nasty Apple products, but so far it's not bad at all.
For sure it not ground breaking and would prefer the audio quality that the Sony Ericsson P and X series have, but with good pairing via earphones with low ohm requirements, it's close to lowless quality.
Of course ALL of this is pointless if you simply are only listening to Radio signals, standard Mp3 or basic AAC files. I do a huge amount of audio work, both musically, soundtrack and folly so mainly use wav and any other random stuff is always 320kbps Mp3's ...until I can get Mp3HD to work etc
AAC is pretty good when pushed to the maximum, but I'm to lazy to change back to AAC files after years or being on Mp3's, OGG and mainly multi-channel DTS & DD via WAV.
Any EQ system on almost ANY software is always a BAD thing!
Hardware EQ'ing is another thing altogether and even then is still a bad thing (usually). If it sounds bad, it always will do and using an EQ to improve it, I guess I'm just that type of person that disagree's with EQ'ing because you loose what it really was meant to be and not what it is anymore.
IMO: Audio & Visual should be played pure, flat and as is it was created.
Better music player... anyone?

All probably very true, but when your using WM6.5 and not TF3D anymore, you need a good player once again, because of course the WMP is NOT an option.
I'd recommended Nitrogen any day, but still looking for somethin better, nicer and possibly simplier. I liked the TF3D audio player when I was using the basic ROM and Dutty's amazing ROM's but since I've moved over to WM6.5 not much choice... right?
Is their a way to access the TF3D via WM6.5 without actually having the TF3D today page open too?

It is not ugly if you use a skin to cover it up. Search for the DiamondVGA Core Player skin. I have it here if you need it. Forget bluetooth you miss out on so much quality IMO. You will see me on a Black Ridgeback in the London streets with the stock wired headphones in - bald bloke with glasses
I want to ride my bicycle... with my HTC Touch HD blasting TooNz!

LMAO ...I'm on Ridgeback MX4 (modded) travelling from East London to where ever I need be for post-production editing work etc.
Yeah, I gave up on SE Bluetooth adapter when I got my HTC Touch HD as the quality just wasn't right at all and as you say, wired in is still best. I'm currently using Denon AHC551's earphones until they get worn out and need replacing (soon).
I only really use the adapter for random things and I think the Mrs gets more use out of it now when she's out jogging. She's using my old SE P1 and Bluetooth ADP2 seems to sound so much better through them... strange!?
Would the DiamondVGA skin you are suggesting work OK on a HTC Touch HD?
I use S2P Best audio player IMHO. Combined with HTC Audio Booster or SRS WOW Audio of course.
I have got TF3D player, WMP, coreplayer, S2P, pocket player and nitrogen.
To be honest:
Coreplayer is the worst.
Nitrogen is the best, closest to the ordinary MP3 player, but it is not so user friendly as the playlist is not so good.
Pocket player has a lot of eq. setting, but it does not help much.
One important thing is to reduce the stutter and it can be cured by 1.57 HKG ROM or the patch from Diamond. But Diamond patch may drain your battery in a horrible rate, you should better upgrade your ROM.

[App][Concept] Pocket DJ

Pro-Click Zone(tm)
http://www.storageserver.be/images/pocketdj_fftest.jpg
Well, sadly, thanks to a lack of certain XNA APIs, this is going to remain a concept for a while. But I still sketched something up in Photoshop to give people an idea what I had in mind.
Basically, it's a two-deck player (refresh button top-right would switch decks), with pitch shift (slider on the left), simple transports, crossfader (bottom right) and scrobbling by finger manipulation on the wave display.
The left hand dimmed side of the wave display is already played content and might act as surface for more potential controls (stuff like bass cut, if I ever figure out how to make an EQ work).
The mixer would output either a single stereo channel with the monitor signal mixed in, or dual mono mode, where one channel is the main and the other the monitor (in case you're trying to be leet on a party and mix using the phone). On top of that, there would be single deck stereo-out mode for freaks with two phones. I guess there may be demand for this, since I've seen evidence of Apple clowns doing something like this in the past with their crop of mobile DJing apps.
Filetype support would be MP3 only, there are no APIs to access the system codecs for frame level decoding, and the only thing I could dig up on the web is a C# MP3 decoder.
Right now I'm only waiting for the XNA's XACT APIs to hit Windows Phone 7, or at least something similar. Without raw audio output capabilities, like what that API allows, this project stays at concept stage.
Anyway, opinions?
Looks good.
Multi-touch will sure be usefull there
Pretty much similar project I submitted to the wp7req for device . But it failed because of lack of the access to the raw audio output. Also, not sure if WP7 allows access to media library...
In XNA, you there's a MediaPlayer class you can make use files from your Zune library, from how I understand it, but it still wouldn't give you straight file access.
WP7 doesn't exactly need XACT, but at least something to do simple stereo raw output. One wouldn't even expect low latency from a phone. And maybe APIs to leverage system codecs, but that'll probably stay a dream for a while.
Well, this project is definitely on ice for indeterminate time.
To continue, Microsoft needs to allow access to the phone's codecs. The only available MP3 decoder written completely in C# decodes at only 7x in the emulator, which is way faster than the actual phone.
Since there can be up to four decoding instances running (two decks playing, and up to two proxies for visualization being generated), making this application work is impossible without access to high-performance decoder (read: native ones).
So sad to hear.
I was pretty excited when I stumbled on your post. I had the same exact concept for an app in my mind when I heard that XNA has access to the media library.
effects aside though, how were you going to account for beat matching and bpm?
I wanted to decode the stuff and then interpolate it accordingly for pitch shift and use my FFT stuff from that other application to detect bass for counting. Automatic matching might have been workable in the long run.
The UI was supposed to get a pitch shifter, speed up and slow down and cue buttons, the ability to scrub/scratch. To have it handle like a real turntable.
But as long Microsoft doesn't supply an API to seek and decode specific blocks of audio files, ideally from the music library, there's no point. As I said, the MP3 decoder written in C# that I have here is slow as **** in the emulator already, the phone's considerably slower.
I would really something this: to 'mix' a playlist to share with my friends. It should be easy to use and have some nice effect, just for casual use

[APP]GoneMAD Music Player

In endless search for the best music app around I stumbled upon this kinda new player in this area - GoneMAD Music Player (a.k.a. GMMP)
It supports lots of audio formats and have some cool stuff like gapless playback, replayGain support, crossfade, built in equalizer with 3 quality settings, preamp, DSP limiter with adjustable attack/release (i like this), lots of skins and, have to admit, it has pretty cool sound output and quality.
I'm still testing it but so far i like what i see (and hear) and it's sure worth to try since there is 14-day fully functional trial period.
Bellow is link to the app on GooglePlay and some screenshots.

I have everything in UberMusic w/ wp7 skin and DSP Manager. I don't need more. But this app seems to be good as well.
I really enjoy the Android Music Player JRTStudio

Interesting Question For Poweramp and Windows Users!

Hello,
The reason i have made this thread is because there's a feature in Poweramp for Android on my Moto G which i really want to be able to get on my Windows PC, so i thought i'd ask on here to see whether anyone knew of a program or something to do the same job.
In Poweramp while listening to a track, on the main album artwork screen with the basic controls, there is a button which looks like a dial at the top which takes you to a screen where the sound balance, equalizer and equalizer presets can be modified. But there's also a dial which controls the bass boost, and this is the feature i want to get on my Windows PC.
Sure, i can modify the levels of bass to a degree using the equalizer built into Dolby Home Theater program on the computer, but i can't turn up the bass to the level i would like it. If i use the equaliser built into my music centre on the computer (Which is MusicBee), it results in distortion. Poweramp on Android is rather unique because i can turn the bass up to literally bone-shaking levels without any distortion whatsoever using the bass boost dial underneath the equalizer settings. Anyone who has used a proper decent pair of headphones with Poweramp should definitely know what it's like! I'm using a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50's and it sounds great.
So what i'm getting at is, does anyone know a program with a good bass booster for Windows, just like Poweramp's bass booster on Android?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks! :good:
DFX audio enhancer
Use Viper4Android's Windows counterpart, Viper4Windows.
Oh and BTW, if you love bass (like me), try Viper4Android. You won't be disappointed.
Sent from my XT1033 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Thanks for the suggestions. I checked the DFX Manager website, but when i found it i realized it was a program i had already downloaded to try and increase the bass levels. I remember quickly removing the program after installing it because the interface was horrible and very outdated! But the main problem was that it made very little difference to the amount of bass coming through the headphones!
I also looked at Viper2Windows, but after installing it i found that it wouldn't work at all. Even after restarting the computer it wouldn't make any difference to the sound output, which is a shame because it looked really good. I Googled the problem and it seems like the program doesn't work with Windows 8.1 because more people are reporting the same issue.
So please can i ask whether anyone has some more suggestions?

srs wow hd to android

Hi all,
Back in the old days, I had the wonderfull phone: the HTC desire HD! There I found the best equalizer build-in. Some months after moving to the one v I begon enjoying music. I trieth nearly all eq apps and mods, but I can't reach the quality of srs wow hd. The alternative app with for me the best settings is Dolby Atmos. I'm wondering if there's a way to get srs wow hd to android again? In the files I can find something hidden, but you still need an app to change that values. Is there anybody who can help to get into the 'past'?
By the way, the srs wow hd in my phone was a limited version of srs. It seems like the last 'good' version for mobile devices came from windows phone before android began.
Things that should be done according to me:
- making an app or add settings in settings (lol)
- add in the app or settings the option to switch between boomsound and srs wow hd.
I think it's impossible becouse nobody asks for it, but asking can't be wrong, well?
