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

i was using XIIA until I found this.. this seems better IMO
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.

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?

With beats audio built in, will YouTube and Pandora use beats?
With my EVO3D those media players override beats.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Beats is enabled when Youtube clips are played.
When anything is being used that emits sound (Not Phone Calls, Ringtones, or Alert Tones) then (Provided turned on in settings) Beats audio Kicks in. Got mine this morning, and after doing all the Hard run by tests that i do on every handset i get, every app, game, video, sound i used brought up the Beats Audio sign in the Notification Bar,
Hope this Helps
Much appreciated!! Makes me happy

PowerAmp is a music player while Viper is audio enhancer. Viper can be used with all apps be it the music player, youtube..etc.. Also it can enhance speaker sound for the phone. The choice is yours but I'd go for Viper. Viper requires root access though.

So I have this .ogg file that plays nice and loud.
When I copy it to /system/media/audio/ui and rename it to PowerOn.ogg with root explorer it works.
But it's very quiet. Why is this?

That depend. What is volume in ogg file set as. It should equal what the regular file is. If file is saved low will be low

It plays nice and loud using the built in sound player.
Guess I will have to find a sound editor and manually bump the amplitude of the waveform.

Yes plays nice and loud in an app that let's you adjust volume. The power up is a set volume. Can't be moved with volume rocker

I can't believe I forgot about Audacity.
I used to use that program a lot back in the day.
In this case it was exactly what I needed. Some amplification, normalization and background noise reduction.
Just for the curious, I set my power on sound to be "He who controls the spice, controls the universe" from Dune.
It is one of my all time favorite movies and series of books.
