PowerAMP? I would like a speedy and great music player PLUS I like to play SomaFM.

Is PowerAMP the one for me? I use DoubleTwist right now, and it's got lots of issues. But it does let me get to some SomaFM Stations.

IMO Poweramp does not compare with any player on Output. its almost like they have muted the audio output on it. Its the only player that I have come across that does this.

Poweramp defaults to having the equalizer and tonal control on. Go into the Equalizer settings and unclick EQU and PRE and TONE. Once done the volume is equal to the Samsung music player at least for me. Poweramp is awesome simply because of that customizable equalizer.

Tried that.......no worky........I tried comparing the stock music app and Poweramp using your method, and any other setting I could find. Poweramp is aesthetically pleasing, but the sound quality isn't up to par with me.
The equalizer became obsolete with Voodoo Sound! Which is one of the greatest improvements to this phone. Thanks Supercurio!

That was my experience, as well. I tried a song at the same sound level with both and with PowerAMP I could hear some noticeable distortion. Sucked because I paid for it and am no longer using it.

Moved to proper forum.

Use voodoo app and power amp it is amazing

You might want to try the moto music app from here. It's loaded with tons of features. Auto looks up words for your songs while they're playing and highlights them as they're sung. Links to YT vids, has shoutcast, tune identification via sound hound (I believe), links to tunewiki, has sleep timer, and downloads songs. Doesn't have a equalizer though. IMO, the sound quantity and quality is comparable to the Samsung app. Oh, it's also free.

I tried pretty much ever music player out there and really was disappointed with many. Finally tried Music PlayerPro Trial, bought the paid version that same day it was soo good! By far the best player I have used with the most features/options.

I checked this one out after reading your post. It's a great music player! Hands down the best one I have yet found. Thanks for the info.

what are you guys talking about with poweramp sucking?
the default music app and playerpro don't even find my music because they are apparently unable to handle album-structure. what the hell? even IF their sound quality was better, i refuse to put all of my mp3s into one folder.
plus - when i first tried out poweramp yesterday, i was stunned by the sound. same equalizer settings as on my computer with soundblaster x-fi and winamp and it sounds a hint fuller. and it can push bass even further without distortion - i didn't even know my headphones were able to produce that and had to reduce it because while it worked, it didn't sound good any more.

Playerpro finds all my music in different folders with album structure just fine. Overall its the best out there with skins, equalizer, lockscreen widget, etc... well worth buying

Same here......... My SD card is fully structured as well.
It even links artist pics, and sorts the albums under the artist pics.
Overall its a great player. I like how there is a music player that actually integrates lyrics properly now.
If your having good luck with PowerAMP, then that's good for you! My overall experience with it wasn't good.

huh... i wonder what the problem is with my phone as i would like to compare these apps. but what the hell, poweramp works great and i don't want to spend hours figuring out what's wrong. -_-

Poweramp works great. For those that have problems with muted sound, you have to go into the equalizer and raise the settings. If this causes distortion, lower the pre-amp setting or turn off tone. I usually keep my pre-amp setting a third of the way up. Even close to half way will cause some distortion. I've tried every music app I could find on different speakers and poweramp is the best MUSIC player. Pro player is nice but eq doesn't compare to poweramp. Looks alone though, Proplayer is mighty pretty but I didn't spend $2000 in speakers for a pretty music app. Poweramp = best sound.

I use PowerAmp bc i like the widget best. The MotoMusic app thats on these forums is awesome though. Ijust like poweramps widget better

For listening to shoutcast (like somafm) I like Xiialive. But it only plays shoutcast, you have to use something else for playing local media

Default sound enhancement

The built-in music app that comes with Android is really nice looking and functional, so I want to use that for my music. Problem is, the sound is really bad. See, it defaults to SRS-enhancement. I know some people rave about SRS- or Beats-enhancement, but they're wrong. I've got a Forte in my PC that delivers, well, not perfect music, but many times cleaner music than what many others hear. I've compared that to the phone using my AD700s and there's no doubt that both SRS and Beats distort the music considerably and arguably too much/in a bad way. I like my music clean (i.e. not with an overly punchy bass and a high pitch the phone can't handle), so I want it to default to "no enhancements", but how do I do that? For now, I'm using Winamp, but I see no reason to use that if I can fix this problem.

Install poweramp it has a full functioning equalizer.
Also you can set enhancement to "none"

Oh and once you select a song in your default music player and it brings up the now playing screen you can hit the menu button on the bottom of your phone and select "enhancements" and change the settings in there I believe you can remove the srs there.

I can, but it defaults back to SRS if I remove the headphones.

use poweramp or playerpro

It's decent, I think. Haven't used it a lot, but the sound quality is good. Pretty much just your average music player.

I tried normal Winamp, does anyone tried Winamp pro?

[Q] Good Music Player for Galaxy

Hello
I'm looking for good music player for my Galaxy S.I've been using PlayerPro but it started to play up just like this.I don't really like PowerAMP so please don't speak about it.Player must have an EQ and should look quite nice

tried a few different players: ended up using Music Folder Player Free as my preferred player

poweramp
10 char

ubermusic
or google music

poweramp is very good

I'm quite happy with miui's stock one (from mintberry).
Has great integration with the system, a great lockscreen widget, plays a folder (this is a must for me, i don't bother with tagging) and an equalizer.
The only downside is if you're not running miui, I don't know if/how you can use it.
Ps: lol, did anyone even read the part where he specifically does not want poweramp?

Just try the 3 'cubed' player, its wicked, great choice of displays, equaliser, lock screen widget, no dodgy background service running after you stop it, fetches all art in one go, manually select folders
Sent using TCP/IP

poweramp for me as well, the absolutely best I've tried, you could manually select what folders you want included and a builtin equalizer that works ok. Well worth buying also.

What music player do you use?

So my PowerAmp trial expired and I'm too cheap to buy anything.
Are there any good Music player apps worth trying? What players do you use?

Hi,
I use PlayerPro. Like it a lot. The additionally DSP soundpack is great. Has a lot of features like lyrics, auto album art, import winamp stats, etc.
Give it a try...

might be a long shot, but for free players with equalizers, u can try blackbird and xplay music. n7 player is also worth giving a shot.
i personally use the Custom music player of supressed

PlayerPro is the best and the most beautiful one

Went with PlayerPro, definetly a well featured and pretty player. Thanks!

Since I do not demand much from the phone, I have enough and the standard player. And so, I liked Vanilla Music Player.

i also use playerpro..
but it's also a payd app...
until now the best music app i used..

MixZing is pretty good
Using it daily

i´ve been using ³ (aka Cubed) music player, i enjoy its simplicity.
but too each it´s own

I use default music player which also has equallizer. Who can tell me why some other players is better than it ?

I used the ics google play music with external eq until it started fc on me now I use player pro, tried power amp before but between the two, its a though fight.... but I like player pro you better its cleaner but if you talk about functionality its a toss up between power amp and player pro for me....
search button..... just do it.....

Oh the google play music shuffle function is better between the three I've tired imo
search button..... just do it.....

I use Double Twist player... and yes the description on the market is right about this. it's an iTunes killer but for android.

I once used it and it messed up E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G (SD card, my songs and even my Rom!)

I'm current using Power amp player, one of the best music player ^^

I'm using PowerAmp

I use PlayerPro w/ DSP pack but i thats because i cbf tring to find one that looks better. I reckon the ui is real ugleh but it has loads of features.
There is really nice looking one called ubermusic. It has undoubtedly the most amazing interface, completely customizable but i prefer the feature packed PlayerPro.

does someone else uses a good one besides playerpro or poweramp?
for me a music player must have the following features:
- an equalizer
- when browsing for music it must have the option to browse folders.
most music players have the option to browse title, artist or album..

My favorite is Rockbox. With Eq, Folder Option, and free =)

How do you think the HTC stock music app compares to third party options?

I've spent the last four hours reading about various music apps and apparently some sound much better than others...
Do most of you use the stock HTC app or something else like PlayerPro, PowerPlay, or WinAmp Pro? Those seem to be the best options, unless Neutron has cleaned up it's UI.
The only real complaint I have is that if you play an artist and then go back to the list it doesn't remember where you were in that list and just puts you at the top.
I've also noticed that friends phones sound better(richer) when they're using PlayerPro, but that could be EQ settings.
So what do you use and what do you like about it?

I don't really care which player plays my music. As long as it can play the files I have I just go with that

The only problem I have with it is that it lacks gapless playback, which I know isn't important to everyone, but it is to me. Oh and you can't manually change your album artwork so they quality of the pictures ends up being pretty low. Otherwise I think it's a pretty big improvement on the Htc One X's, or rather ICS's Sense player.
Playerpro is by far the BEST of all music players I have tried. It has an option for almost anything. I'm almost 100% sure it keeps your place in the list, but it definitely keeps the album you were playing. The players has gapless, the album flow keeps the pictures in memory so you don't get that loading pictures thing when scrolling, lyrics are saveable, album artwork chooosable, and the DSP pack allows even more customization. But other then that i also has a whole bunch of skins to choose from if you get bored of one try another, it's great! It also lets you use the stock music lockscreen with is great. There are so many more advantages to Player Pro, my recommendation

My only gripe is that you do not have a shuffle option in a playlist which is such an easy fix,I hope HTC fix this in a future update.

I was actually wondering about this as well. Such a basic feature and it doesn't have it My year old HoX has it lol.

I have PowerAmp Pro installed but actually prefer the stock music app as I like the lockscreen controls and similar gestures to PowerAmp. I also like how you can access all of your songs from the music player without having to unlock the phone.
As an aside, I am hating the Mail app but only use it due to the lockscreen notifications and don't want to install Widget Locker. Wish there was a way to use the Gmail App and still receive lockscreen notifications.
