If you're looking for a replacement music player app, I recommend PowerAmp by Max MP. I've bought and used several, and I find PowerAmp to be the best. It is a paid app, but they give you a free 15-day trial to try everything and decide if you want to keep it. You can find it in the Google Play store.

I'm using poweramp player but see music mods like beats and acid etc

[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):

PlayerPro
______________________________
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.

Music and video

what's the best music and video (PAID & FREE) application for our beloved HTC ONE X?
also what type of video can we put on our X? any frame size limit? and the format as well...
I personally am satisfied with MixZing music player(bought their premium version too). But most popular one is PowerAmp and they said It's the best but they got paid version only though they offer free trial for 1 week or so I think.
For videos, I'm using BS player lite, they got hw acceleration feature also.

I love WinAmp. I love the retro feel.
I've been using the unofficial VLC beta, it's been okay for the most part.
ubermusic. skinnable so you can make it look great - way better than poweramp.
Happy with the stock apps
I purchased PowerAMP a while ago Ehen I has the X10 and Arc, but no need for it on the HOX

stock player, free already there and does its job.
there are lot's to choose from maybe i'll try them all, but for the music player, i think it does not support the "BEATS" feature? only with the default player? is that correct?

i thought the beats enhancement will not be usable once we use other player than the default?
Also i have movies in my Laptop that i want to copy to my phone, do i have to convert it to a specific format?

Beats is available to every 3rd party app.
And no you don't need to convert movies, except if it results in you getting a file with smaller size and you want that to save mbs.
As for music player, poweramp is definitely the best Imo. Although it didn't look that good but it's features kept me to it. Now with the ics skin, which someone posted on xda, it's definitely the coolest music player.
You might also give Apollo player a try. It will continue to improve. Still not in market I think, but should be there shortly. Google it if you can't wait.
For videos, try mx player. That's all on can say. Try and you'll have the answer to your question.

yes... thanks for that, the reason why i'm asking is because, last month i tried a different music player, and while playing i noticed that sound is different and there is no beats option, but anyways, i'll give it another shot, will explore a bit.
with regards to videos. i have .avi movie format.. copied it in my sd card, tried to play it but is says, file not supported... well, guess i just need to keep on trying..
go here to find out how to enable beats on poweramp which i use. also regarding video player i would just use stock..sorry only videos i watch is youtube...i rather use big screen for movies instead oh and netflix only for my phone when i travel

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 Vs Power Amp

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.

Can anyone suggest a music player that's used for music on the phone- no cloud wanted

Still using the P2 Xl, but I don't want Google Play Music. I want a player that only plays files I loaded into the phone. I know Google Play music does that but I don't want any "services".
Thanks
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=code.name.monkey.retromusic
Works well for me.
Thanks, I also saw one called Black Player that's been getting good reviews
Pulsar is by far my favourite
Poweramp
For my needs, I use Vanilla Music player. It's basic and a light footprint.
Highly recommend poweramp
Poweramp all the way! - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xsoftstudio.musicplayer.pro
Been using it for years and never disappointed, especially with the new GUI changes they've rolled out.
Close 2nd for me would be : Player Pro - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tbig.playerpro
Another neat one, but kinda cluttered is N7 Player - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.n7mobile.nplayer
Hope you find what works for you. Everyone tends to lean toward the cloud services, I still like loading my own music on my phone as well
I'm a fan of Shuttle. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=another.music.player
Power amp is my Fave , plays flac files also , Highly recommend it :good:
Pulsar is my favorite player
PowerAMP, been using it for years.
Also shuttle. It's free software as well
Look, get Poweramp and enjoy forever. There is no comparison. I've been using it for more than 8 years maybe. Tried other players only a first few years, then I stopped venturing out.
I like using Eleven music player https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-lineageoss-music-player-arm64-t3784730

Neutron. The gui might need a material redesign but the app itself is great for sound quality.

I've tried and tested them all as i got over poweramp after many years with it . In the end, poweramp owns.
And its latest beta update is even better than ever!
Musicolet is my second favourite , but in the end poweramp just has everything you need.
