if you want an awesome music app, try PowerAMP... impressive!! it detects when u insert headphones and auto resumes your last tune, even if the app was closed! Also flawless gapless play back!
Also peeps, your samsung supplied headphones have a button on the mic for pausing/answering your calls, but hold the button and it will skip track!! It can also be configured for double/triple presses for next/previous track!!
It works with DSP Manager alongside its own full featured EQ...
The best music app i've come across!

Yep, I think most of us who have tried PowerAMP are converts. I got the trial version several months ago, paid for the full app after about 7 minutes (once Master of Puppets had finished playing from memory). Best thing about the EQ is the preamp, which increases output to headphones a reasonable amount.
The has been the music application I've used since it was released and the purchased it once it came on the market.
yeah, you couldn't ask for more from a player really eh!! ive used it for a while now, but thought i'd throw it up as ive not really seen a mention of it but a few people complaining about lack of controls on the mic and incompatabilities with other/older ear phones with track skip etc...
nice solution!

best music player there is : ) makes my shure earphones sound sexy. also love the widgets it has! had bought it on galaxy s a while back.
Does this use alot of battery? I just always notice it in the top 3 of my battery usage stats (the default one), even though I don't have it running (does it have some background processes running?)
PowerAMP and DSP manager run in tandem with each other is pure bliss to my ears. My headphones and car really appreciate it also :-D
Poweramp is great and doesnt use any/much battery when running. Added bonus is you can pay with paypal off there website.
Fully agreed, best player on the market!
Just downloaded this, superb!
just tried it and am impressed.
just need a video player which is good. anyone recommend one?

Thx man
i read your post yesterday and downloaded the player
today i bought it because it's the ****ing best music player i ever had on a phone
Agree with what has been said, PowerAMP is brilliant and the only player that recognised all of my album art and the id3 tags on all of my file types.
I got this back in my HTC Desire days. It is hands down the best music player Android has to offer and well worth the purchase. I wouldn't be surprised to see this snapped up and built into Android at some point!
really nice compared to the other music players around even with dsp manager.
Is it worth getting DSP manager if you already have this app?

Yes, Power Amp is absolutely great.
I've got much punchier bass and slightly louder volume in general now that I've installed DSP manager - it's a tiny download too, Rooster - go for it!
i did like PowerAmp, but it did figure high up on my power list. I'm in two minds whether to buy the full version.
Hey all
I really want to sell my ipod touch because im not using it for much but music, id love to be able to listen to music on the SGS2 and enjoy it but its just not as loud as the ipod.
I have £400 westone headphones, i know theres winamp, poweramp and dsp manager but what would be the best combination and settings for loud volume and quality sound etc
Thanks
I use poweramp with dsp...give you a full range equalizer to tweak the sound and many customizable options
What sort of setting do you use?

I installed dsp manager but it doesnot change my sound.
Maybe I need a newer version?
Where could I get it?
Thx

There don't seem to be any controls for the synthesizer under Sound. The only app I can access one is from Music Hub which is another stupid, pre-installed subscription service (one day left). I can turn it on there, then use TuneIn/iHeart Radio to stream music. Is there any other way to access the controls?
If your phone is rooted, I suggest DSP Manager. It is an excellent equalizer, which is what I assume you are looking for.

Yeah, that sounds like what I might be looking for. But I'm reading that people are having problems with it on the Note 2 and there are a number of versions of DSP Manager. You wouldn't know which one works, would you?
If not, no biggie. Looks like Music Hub's Equalizer is still functional even though my trial has expired and I have no intentions on renewing it.
Im using noozxoide app. Its free in the market. Fully customizable, and its so far the best sounding one that I've come accross yet. Ive tried the dsp manager with the beats and the acid mods, but most of those just make the sound louder and not so much better. Noozxoide actually makes my music sound full bodied and realistic. Bass can be boosted as well and makes my stock truck stereo sound like I have a subwoofer. The best part is it works with all my music apps, not just the installed music player. I stream pandora exclusively (havent used the radio or cd player in my truck for about two years now) so this really makes listening to music even better. Give it a shot. I dont think you'll be dissapointed. If you don't like it, its easilly uninstalled unlike some of the other mods.

Yes I am. I have a samsung something3000 I got for $30 on Amazon. It has the latest bluetooth audio codecs, so about, if not better than cd quality. It also has a mic for taking phone calls. Sounds awesome.

Hmm pretty sure I have the same Bluetooth. I hear the difference when plugged in to headphones but not on Bluetooth. Any ideas?

Thanks for the recommendation, nuc noob! I downloaded and tried it out -- a very confusing app -- and I wasn't able to get it to sound better with my headphones than the Equalizer in Media Hub (which still functions even if you don't subscribe, thank goodness). So I uninstalled it.
Speaking of headphones, I'm surprised to find out the ones that came with the Note II are actually pretty good as far as bass goes. I tried on a pair of Sony over-the-hear headphones and the volume nor the quality was nearly as good. So I'm fairly happy with everything so far.

Not sure. I went thru all three and set them up my way. I know the blue tooth changes work because I use it the most. I just plug it into the aux in of my truck or into my computer speakers in my room. I adjust the equalizer and room size in the app based on my speaker size and I can tell the difference. My only suggestion is to verify under sytem settings/sound/sound effects, that noozxoide is selected. Ibalso played with every possible setting one by one while listening to music and adjusted to my taste for the wired output, built in speaker, and the wireless output. It may take a while to figure out all the settings, but when you get it all set up, it will be totally worth it.

Bonus: if you like Pandora radio, head on over to evo lte thread, original development, badseed rom and scroll down to there mods and add ons. They have a transparent Pandora thats been tweaked for unlimited skips, and no ads. Its the latest Pandora 4.0 version. Download the apk, uninstall the old one, install the badseed customs Pandora, proffit! Just make sure you hit their thanks button. Thet make amazing stuff iver there. Just wish I could get them all note II so they could do some magic over here.

I did not know that the phone had a software equalizer but I must say that I like it. Im using the note with Gold Xiaomi 2nd Piston Earphone and i must say they sound good. Now I am looking to get a pair of the Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 but this set up sounds read good for the price I paid for the ear buds.
its not as good as something like V4A but it's a hellofalot easier to tune. For a built-in eq, its pretty nice.
I run the large room reverb setting in my truck. Sounds awesome.
Where is there an eq?

Easiest way to find it is in Google music, go to settings you will see it there.

For my, it works with Google music, stock player and Double Twist (i think). I will also test it with poweramp.

Maybe I'm missing something but every time I look at the EQ settings they are reset. I've changed then and hit done.
I dont see any settings unless I put in my headphones.
if you use Power Amp it's easy to bring it up by a long press of "Music FX"
Does anyone know how to reset the eq? I got a different set of headphones and I wanted to run thru the setup wizard again. I already tried to clear data on adapt sound and soundalive.

How do you all find the DAC in the Snapdragon variant compared to the Wolfson DAC in previous Note devices?

in the Music app, go to menu > settings > sound alive > advanced
and to the second guy; Its better than previous built in chips, but without a way to tune the dac (custom kernel), it's hard to give a solid answer. my s3 with very finely tuned dac for my custom audio setup sounds world's apart. no comparison.
I like it for being stock on the phone. Im still thinking about getting a fiio E18 DAC. I just started out getting into better audio equipment. I had a pair of Ath M50s and vmoda m80. I looking to pick up the new ATH-MSR7 when they come out.
What music app are you guys gals using to listen to your downloaded songs?
I'm trying most of the ones on XDA Android apps forums, Pulsar, wave, minmia.
VLC isn't working right, lagging hugely and redrawing incorrectly.
No winamp for Android?

Try Black player. I was big on Shuttle as it's a quality app with material design but Black player just does it all well and has its own style which I like.

Thank you for your suggestion, works very well, and it has the "delete" song from library option, double tap for favorite is nice.
There actually used to be a WinAmp for Android. It was nothing like the Windows app. But anyways, I've used every music player out there and there is only 1 that does everything I want it to. PowerAmp. It's only a couple of dollars for the full version but to me, it's totality worth it.

Before I used spotify and Google music I used PowerAmp as well. I'm pretty sure you can even use the Google music app for local music.

I am using the Sony one (Music was walkman), IMO one of the better, has a nice interface
I have been using Poweramp full version for years. The sound quality is superior when compared to Google Play Music. I have to use Play Music for my subscription but I use Poweramp for my side-loaded and purchased music.
Loaded Poweramp again, the delete function is too embedded.. is there a setting to make it more tap and hold to delete?
And what are the odds this would happen?!
OK has anyone else used pi music player? How can I set Poweramp to play songs as detailed and clear?
Esira with viper4android and dolby all the way !!!!
