Music Player Vs Power Amp - Galaxy S III Themes and Apps

The stock music player sounds much better on my earphones.. compared to power amp.
Does it mean the wolfson hardware only works for stock music player?

If stock music player sounds better, you really should try to play with the equalizer of poweramp. For me Poweramp is the best.
I hear a huge difference with my s2, so the wolson hardware is really doing it's job.
regards

same here , poweramp has better preset eq , make sure you get the latest ver of poweramp

Oh ok, thanks guys.. will try out.

u might want to try neutron music player also

Another + for poweramp. Nothing I've used comes close

I'd have to say my favorites would be poweramp or player pro.
At the minute though, I'd sway towards poweramp.

Agreed, neutron player is unreal. It's got everything you could ask for. Better quality than even poweramp.
Give it a go.

I keep switching between power amp and player pro. The only think I dont like about power amp is that even when it's closed it continues to run in the background using memory. I have been using the stock player more lately though.

I used Poweramp on my play but then tried out N7 player and fell in love with it, great user interface and the sound quality when using the equalizers was so much better IMO.
However using N7 on the S3 I found I had to tweak it more to get the sound I was after, not sure if that`s anything to do with the device though? Still using the same earphones as I did on the Play (Skull candy).
Think I`m gonna try poweramp again and see what if any difference there is now.

At first my favourite music player is Neutronmp.
It can play as much as my demanding : file type, format, bitrate.....never ever found one file that neutronmp cant play....exclude .dts.
Sounding so far v.s others app in detail and clearity....
Now, I put my eyes on vlc app. It even can play both tta and dts (not only .tta 6channels like neutronmp).
Vlc is not yet release officially, but a promise to be a king of music app

I must diagree, neutron sounds more "cold" and less focused compared to poweramp. It has also a lack of bass in the eq settings, even if you max everything out poweramp bass boost beats neutron in all aspects.

[Q] What is your favorite music player?

I'm using Poweramp and it's the best one.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
I'm torn at the moment. At first I really liked Poweramp, mostly because the ability the boost the preamp helped with the low volume problems I was having when listening to it in my car. However, after purchasing Volume+ I found that I no longer need that boost.
Zimly by far has my favorite UI, but I've been getting a lot of crashes on it. I'm also considering bTunes, as the part I miss the most about my iPhone is the media player. I'd be curious to hear if anyone considers that a favorite
I also love Poweramp really much.
Bought it.
It plays my music collection at home, has a great equalizer, and now even supports Beats audio - whaddya want more?
Lol, it supports now beats?!?!?! I used to have it, but then I removed just because of the beats. Stock is good, though.
I use winamp because I'm old school I can't say it's especially different to any of the other players I've used but I stick with it anyway.
For audiobooks I use Mort Player Audiobook, now that is a very impressive app! Pity it looks so ugly but I'm sure it will improve.
I've been using PlayerPro for a while now and really like it.
I have been using Winamp since its release. So far it is a good and simple player. Besides I'm using the desktop Winamp player, which enables me to sync my music via the app wireless.
PlayerPro, because I can browse my music by folders.
I've been using Poweramp for a while and I love it! Its flawless!
Google Music. And I also using unlimited data plan
I'm using stock music app, it's good enough for me

I can't get it to download album artwork, even though the stock music app has done this and it shows in the stock app... Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong with Power amp?
Stock Player and Google Musik is good for me
Stock HTC Music player, because it is the only player that support special audio effect
I don't listen to music so much on the phone. (All the time on the PC!)
However, there are a few listed media apps here in case it helps anyone.

I am using it too, for me it is the best player ever D
Im using the HTC Player too. But thers one thing, I'm not happy about. Where is the "Coverflow". It was included in older Version. Is this function deleted or am I stupid?
For me, the best one is 3 (Cube):

______________________________
stock sense 3.0 music player for me. every music player ive used had a problem for me; always automatically playing,skipping, and pausing, when a headphone is jacked in. i uninstalled all other music apps. i only have stock player now. stock palyer aint so bad, the quality of the sound is almost the same as from other music apps.

What is the best music player?

Which app gives me best sound quality? I WOULD like it to be free but I also dont mind paying if it will blow me away.
I've tried a lot of different players but so far I am not convinced on any of them.
I have paid for both MixZing and poweramp and to be honest i now prefer the new stock music app. It's the UI more than anything I suppose. I haven't really noticed a difference in how the music sounds as far as the player is concerned, but once i splurrged on a good set of ear phones I did.

I've used several, from Winamp to Poweramp, but I prefer the stock Google Music app. CM's Apollo is nice also imo.
Stock Jelly Bean music play or PowerAmp (Full ver is 5 bucks I believe)
I recommend PowerAmp if you wanna have best EQ you could ever find in any music player
If you just want nice UI and overall just good music player, stock is prob the best choice. It also has a basic EQ which you can customize a little.
I like PowerAmp purely for the better gapless playback support.
Second long gaps between songs on the stock player drove me insane.
Also, no software player will magically increase the sound quality of your music.
PowerAmp all the way. Been using it for a while.

That's the only thing I hate about the stock player.
No gapless ruins the listening experience on some albums.

Music Player

Hi, I really want to download a new music player, because to be honest, I'm getting seriously bored of all the HTC Stock stuff.
Chrome has replaced my browser (Thankgod for Chrome!)
But I cannot find a sufficiant music player, I had heard of Double Twist, but when I downloaded and used it, it pretty much halved the loudness of my music, which defeats the point of 1 - Beats audio technology, and 2 - Using my Beats headphones.
Why is it that using a different music player made my music so quiet?
Is there an alternative?
Can you make double twist louder?
I CHOSE DOUBLETWIST AS THEY OFFER ALBUM ART AND LYRICS !!
Thanks !

You can also use poweramp, n7 or neutron music player... they are good and especially neutron player has lots of options while n7 player ha very good ui
u can download albums in both
I agree that with the free version of DoubleTwist, the music isn't very loud and pretty flat ( I have beats earphones as well).
But once I upgraded it to the next level (the one that provides just the equalizer) and enabled the equalizer, music was much better.
Combine that with Xtreme sound enhancer mod, and it's a killer music player.
I also like PowerAmp, but I've always preferred DoubleTwist's sound quality over it.
I decided to play with the RealPlayer beta, and have actually found it pretty nice.
I also use google music to stream my music. I dont like that app much but it saves memory

Power Amp still best sound on a Music Player?

Man, there are tons of them now.
Bells and whistles are secondary...I need good depth of sound. Power Amp always held that crown for me.
Short of using them all, anyone have any candidates that rival that app?
PowerAMP for me too..
hey xda
+1
for me poweramp and dsp manager rules my note 2
greetz benji
no, neutron player is muuch better :fingers-crossed:
Music Folder Player, in addition to forward it also has backward track, and excellent sound quality.
Equalizer app + Poweramp does it for me!
TW music player + sound alive = win
but there is no lock screen controls which is sucks :/

(Sadly) it´s still poweramp for me. "Sadly" just because I don´t like the interface very much. Has anybody seen the "Walkman" app around here? The one that comes with the AC!D package? THAT is a nice looking piece of musicsoftware (at least for me!) But it doesn´t matter as it is not near the sond quality of powerAmp AND (much more important) WALKMAN has no option for genre-sorting!!!
I always feel to try Songbird again, as it really looks nice and sleak...but I always find myself deinstalling it again because it´s still just too laggy.
So soundwise it´s still PowerAmp. When it comes to simplicity and look --> Walkman app!
yes I agree w/Power Amps interface. Incredibly counterintuitive.
But it speaks to the sound of the app cause I'm more than willing to put up with it.

Exactly, and furthermore pretty much unpractical for one handed usage. I don´t know why there are still no themes out there for poweramp...I think when the developer would open up the skinning possibility to the users, there would be a hell more to squeeze out of that app^^
Always have been a Power Amp user but recently have been using n7player.... So far so good, love how it looks more than anything.
Trial version available and full version on sale at the moment!!!

I'm a Power Amp user. Agreed on the interface, its nice enough looking but a bit counter intuitive.
Now this N7player - very good except for one thing. It doesn't do gapless playback (like the default player and many android players seemingly, unforgivable in 2012), until it does, it's a deal breaker Unless I've missed something?
Gold Standard
Its difficult to argue that PowerAMP is not the best and baddest sound on the market. With 3 years running, no one has really held a candle to PowerAMP.
However, I really value the sound quality of Rocket Music Player Premium. It has a great looking interface and sounds as good as PowerAMP IMO.
Bells and whistles are always nice and PowerAMP has plenty of them but I really value the supported audio formats.
RMP Premium also supports media formats outside of the Android supported formats.
PowerAMP is definitely still the "Gold Standard" but there are many players that are comparable. At the end of the day you have to go with works best for your setup - for me it is RMP Premium.
Take it easy.
What I really miss on MOST of the players is a good and customizable tree structure (accessibility) of my music. I always start my "music-adventure" with the genre tree - and the following should just work like I am used to it from my PC (on every software I´ve ever used):
Genre --> Artist --> Albums --> Songlist

It´s that easy!
But what is it that I have to find on MOST players?
Genre --> Albums --> Songlist. ...or worse ...Genre --> Songlist

Now imagine the chaos that I always feel confronted with when some (a lot) of my beloved artists produced a LOT of albums (scrolling ´till tomorrow). I just can´t understand that this is not a standard anymore (at least an OPTION so that people who don´t care are allowed to customize it).
PlayerPro is in someway better than poweramp, as it allows you to customize the tree a bit more. However, the interface looks kind of ugly to me.
So for me as a music-loving guy it is still a very sad situation on the android market.
Just discovered ttpod. Seriously nice UI with lyrics and for some reason actually sounds better than power amp for me, but in don't do any customization of the equalizer settings in both. But yeah the theme and the awesome sound out if the box, and the fact that it is FREE just makes it flawless.
You guys should try it out. It's available in English too, if you guys are wondering.

[Q for jellybean users] What rom will be best for me?

Hey guys!
I am looking for a rom based on 4.1.2 .
Important thing what rom must have :
- the best able quality for xperia play - i am someone like audiophile
I do not demand high performance (because its jellybean) but will be good when i can play games like deathworm,guerillabob,minecraft and pokemon's at MyBoy emulator without lags.
Also rom shouldn't have too many bugs for normal phone using.
For now i have tryed Play Zcm 4.1.2 but this rom lagging for no reason. I mean the UI sometimes lagging and shortcut sometimes dont works.
What rom should i try for now? Also is there any "audiophile" here? If yes,what music player are you using?
I don't think I am an audiophile, but I like listening to music and my favorite player is Poweramp. It really has tons of options... check it out

did you try cm10?
but why JB? any feature or software that requires it?
btw: using apollo
the hardware restricts the quality here. if the file is not lossless, the headphones can't handle every tone and the phone itself is badly shielded you can't do anything about it. equalizer and software enhancements are not a true enhancement in terms of quality.

Well i think from JB we can do better audio quality like from others version (or im wrong?)
I am using only flac's (losless) audio files and superlux HD668B headphones -- not the best,but sound quality is really cool.
For now i am trying Xperia play Ultimate HD 1.0 and sound quality is just,ahh. AMAZING! Like a the best i had hear! I think for now i will stay at this rom.
Also i tryed the apollo player but sound quality was normal. Not very good,not bad. Just good.
