Best music player - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't really care much for a nice ui or multiple features and such ( but are a good bonus), but what is the best sounding music player for our phone?
I'm using poweramp now but I just feel there is still something better sounding out there

I have been using Jet audio Plus since it came out. The UK is a bit laggy but sound quality is much better than power amp. Give it a try

Neutron Music Player
Costs a few euros but it's worth it.

A thread in Themes and Apps as well for music players .

I've tried different player and thus far Player Pro has been the best for me. Not only it has a great DSP pack but also very handy features.

Yes i agree!
Pro Player is the one to go for.
I have iTunes on my PC so I use iSyncer and Pro Player to wirelessly sync my music, ratings & play count with my phone.

I know of that thread of course, but if you read my op this one focuses on sq as the other thread is more general with opinions on ui and what not which are all secondary to me.

I installed neutron free but I wasn't able to try it much cause I got busy then my 5 day trial elapsed lol. But from what little I heard it did sound better than power amp.
I'm maybe thinking of getting this whether I end up using it or not to support the developer. He clearly is in the right direction by focusing on sq first.

I saw many mixed reactions on player pro in the audio thread, mostly saying that development has stopped?
People also love the ui but I read that sq seems less than poweramp. But if there's a free version maybe I'll try it out.

Power amp looks better, neutron sounds better.
It has an option for 64bit decoding, its a real audiophiles player.
Read the blurb on the play store.
The dev is really quick to solve any issues too, I was emailing him back and forth when JB was first ported to the S3 about partitions and the path to internal and external storage and he sent me a few test apks. Cool guy.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

Power amp is the best, but I use google player, the ram is more challenging, but the power amp is the best adapted to a setting and effects.

Stock player in JellyBean XXDLIB is good with siyah Kernel,you don't need any other player,but the only thing that sucked is that M4a music files downloaded from itunes are not supported in stock XXDLIB Music player.so...

Best Music Player
For me its TTPOD International version pleaseant to my ears using hip-hop eq. im planning to try the other players that are posted here

The best music player for Galaxy S3..? Hmm...
It would depend what device will you use for listening, but...
In general, if you will use STOCK music player, BUT if you'd connect it via this device you should be more or less happy...
Of course, if I'd be you, I'd expand it a little with for example This small add-on
I know that it has some weaknesses, but you know, I looked for something cheap

I've purchased neutron and it does sound better than poweramp.
I hear more instruments, tones I haven't heard before.
All the settings are still confusing, but it already sounds better in default.
I'll still give jet audio and player pro a go sometime soon.
Thanks for the help guys.

[Q] Why'd you all hate the stock music player?

Why do you all hate the stock music player? I've used PowerAMP Pro, Mixzing, and the stock player. And I have to say, there's no damn difference apart from the stock player has a nicer and much more simple GUI, nice equalizer, and is free. Why waste 5 quid on a crappy 'PowerAMP Pro' that wastes battery, looks ****, etc.
Thoughts? Cheers
P.s. I think the Stock music player is ****ing ace .
EDIT: OK because you were all on about PlayerPro I checked it out and damn is it good! It has very nice bass and it's louder too. Only problem is that it uses up 3* as much RAM and 4* as much battery as the stock player, which in my eyes isn't worth it for such a small improvement. Anyway, I still love the stock player, they're both great!
It doesn't read my .m3u playlists. So I bought ZPlayer.
I dont hate it, i like and use it ^^
Glad that someone wrote it finally
I also think that stock player is very good, maybe not perfect but still.
Only player that could threat stock player may be Winamp but now it has so many bugs that for me is useless
I agree , but real player is pretty cool

The AOSP player has a widget I believe. But it's still bland like the TW version.
Even the 3rd party players availableon the market don't do it for me because they don't integrate the way I'd like.
It's sometimes smooth and sometimes laggy, which hate. So I use ubermusic for the total smoothness.

Yeah I just checked out Player PRO, it's pretty nice actually. But what's the difference between that and the stock? I mean, does the stock use more battery? or...or what?
I use stock player and i think other player just use software decoder mean they eat more batteries
MIUI Music app here on a MIUI rom. Can't fault it.
After i got SGS2 never bothered with other players, as stock one is simply great. Nice UI, good sound quality, equalizer, bass boost and few sound effects, that's all i need.

i love the stock player.. used playerpro, poweramp, that MetroUI one from Fede, Doubletwist, Winamp etc..
Only thing I wish it could do is edit ID3 tags or at least properly read the ones set by iTunes
I use the stock player on my Samsung, but needed to go with 3rd party on my Atrix. But for Samsung, hands down I LOVE the stock player!...

poweramp no doubt. it's tried and true. also, the audio-tweaking options are unmatched.
for player pro, you have to install a dsp package...i don't know about you, but the less i have to install, the better. poweramp is the all inclusive package that makes your music sound many times better.
When it comes to sound quality, I think PowerAmp is the best by far. On the other hand, n7player has a GUI more pleasing to the eye. And also, there is the price, but if You want to enjoy the music in its fullest I say go with PowerAmp. I use it myself and just love it.

No you don't. PlayerPro comes with an EQ like PowerAmp, but you can add the DSP package if you want to. IMO PowerAmp is all flash and bling with OK audio, while PlayerPro concentrates on being easy to navigate and deliver great sound. Like PowerAmp you can tweak the audio exactly like you want it and the DSP addon only allows you to push it a little further.
But between PowerAmp and N7? PowerAmp aaaall the way.
I know it's not listed but for the audiophile there can be only one player: Neutron Music Player.
Really just try it. Better than poweramp
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
PlayerPro FTW! For me the best music player, i tried PowerAmp but i dont like its UI, PlayerPro is much easier to use.
now Poweramp is the best audio player for android device but for the best quality of sounds you should use some other thinks like audiobeats or scripts to get better voice
How awesome wouldn't it be if somebody resourceful made a meticulous blind test using different Android music playback options on a high end system!
Personally I find minimal difference in image, width and dynamics between different player apps; voodoo sound is what makes real impact in my ears.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Well the dsp engine in neutron mp really shines. It also features enhanced audio interpolation methods (1GHz+ CPU required for best quality) and Ambiophonics R.A.C.R. DSP. Try it people!

Fantastic sound can be had from the 10 band EQ, and it has decent presets. The UI is gorgeous and its very simple to manipulate, even when you're on the go. It plays everything i throw at it, and i can change tags/artwork from within the app... the list goes on
Been using PowerAMP for about 2 years now, and it's still the best

Yup, that would be interesting. But we'd need an audiophile for that. Anyone interested? Download the PowerAmp, PlayerPro demos and other players and share your thoughts.
the problem is... some demo only lasted for 30 sec... will be hard to really test the software... unless errr... nevermind
Wuut? PowerAmp and PlayerPro demos lasts for two weeks.

good music player software for the 10.1

Hi there,
this is a thread to discuss music player software for the galaxy tab. So far I found 2 nice software players:
Play Music:
the default player has a nice eye-candy ui that looks good on the tab, but other than that it doesn't have much going for it. It lacks an equalizer and visualizations.
Android Music Player by JRTStudio:
this player comes with a clean ui, allthough it doesn't seem to be particularly suited for tablet devices. It also lacks some sort of fullscreen music visualization, but it comes with a good equalizer built in. That way, you can enjoy your music.
WinAMP for Android:
horrible UI, totally unsuited for tablet devices, lack of visuals and equalizer (EQ only in pro version).
do you know any alternatives (free or paid)? It would be nice if the software could show a nice music visualization on the screen while playing music.
regards
Horscht
I have very good references about this:
Here is the trial version.

Wow, PowerAMP looks really clean and works well. The sound options are just plain awesome. It still lacks visualizations but, damn this is a great player. But at a price of 4€ not exactly cheap either. Gonna keep on using the trial for now, see if it's really worth that price tag
I've been using Jukefox for a few days. The first time you run it you need to wait a bit, but that's because its loading album art and generating a tag cloud. Not sure if I like it or not - I usually go for a really clean simple UI. But the way it presents your music isn't like any other player I've seen before.

poweramp as well, some troubles with a few FLACs, but mostly ok, just convert to AAC if you plan to play FLAC.....although it still doesnt sound as good as any android with the Wolfson exploit...aka Voodoo

I've got rocket player on both my tab and phone and cant fault it
Neutron Music Player
By far the best sound quality. Nice UI. But you need to get to know it a little bit.
Developer still makes changes to the UI. Work in progress

Yup, I agree its the best one I've used so far
Have you tried doubletwist? It's not too bad.
I like Google Play Music the best because the interface looks really snazzy and the homescreen widget looks good next to the other stock ICS widgets. The cloud sync features are also pretty useful.
Player pro or Poweramp. I use Poweramp.
I use the Poweramp, but i like the winamp too.
I'm fairly certain by now I've tried them all and not one was even close to as useful as Poweramp. I bought it because I liked it that much!
It's packed full of useful options and features, hard to avoid this one!
Ironically, the best music player I've found was the stock one in CM9 before they switched to Apollo.
Aside from that, I'd recommend poweramp, just don't expect any support for it. Last I checked their support forums was full of spam and hadn't seen any non-newb questions getting answered in months.
Poweramp because it's equalizer remains the best. Player Pro's eq isn't a good in my opinion but it is still a solid player.
I like n7player

[Q] Which music player are you using for s3?

Just a quick question to see which music player app gets the thumbs up :good:
I'm currenty using n7Player and it's ok but i have to manually scan when i've added new albums.
I'm not a fan of the stock player as the windget has limitations.
Google it and you'll find plenty comparisons and reviews
did that @ Glebun, so i just thought i'd post it in the Q&A to see what others thought.
I agree with you, stock player is trashy. I prefer winamp.

There is a music player review in Themes and Apps probably but not certain by Nick Fury .

There's no better player out there than PowerAMP (pay version). Bought it at full price and it's one of the best apps I've every bought.

I prefer the google "play music" app. Its easier to use plus the widget is better.

Just saying the name of the player has no value or usefulness, at least try to explain why you prefer it.
R: [Q] Which music player are you using for s3?
Double twist.
(@ glebun: y u keep spamming bro? XD)
I use it cuz its got a very fluid interface plus it downloads album images (i guess most do) but it reminds me of the ios player simplicity. Very good, i like it more than others try it.

To be fair to everyone i did only ask which player people were using. not for an explanation as to why they're using it. just wanted a general idea of what app folk are using out there for music. Thinking of giving Poweramp a go!
