Windows media player seems to be really crappy to use and slow.. and nice smooth interface thats very popular for playing music?
I use pocket player. It does everything I need, sound quality is good and it has a great library.
Disadvantage: It's not freeware.
Nitrogen - free, cool .. but has some minor bugs .. occasional stutter and some mp3 can't be played. But hey, it's rather young project.
CorePlayer - not free, not as good controls, but usable, and has best audio quality (I mean NO stutters ever, if you check 'higher priority for audio').
And on Xperia you have media panel. It works. But I play songs by folders, not by albums or playlist, so no joy for me.
try s2p with s2u2 (just disable all the autolock stuff).. I love it just because it turns itself on when plugin headphones or connecting a stereo bluetooth device and it stop she music and closes when you remove them.. Sound quality is similar to wmp bc it uses its engine (though i gotta say its ok) To me, this is the most convenient music player (it does playlists too)
however, i've been pushed by a friend to try core player (i don;t if i got it right..) He told me that was the best player he tried so far.. then again, he has a raphael... so dunno...
for convenience, i like s2p (mainly if your lazy or dont want to hunt down for the player and kill it later )
core player as the x panel had a lot of issues playing acc files
Hi, Do you want an audio player or Vedio player?
If you need the first one, Pocket Player will be better.
Coreplayer is good for vedio, but only WMP could work with X.264 code.

If you need the Audio Player, Pocket Music Player will be better.
Pocket Music Player supports X-Bass and Preamp. X-Bass + Some Custom EQ + Preamp made very good sound.
I recommand you Pocket Music Player.
I have tested many audioplayers, and this player I find best suited for my Philips Downbeat IEMs. It has the same control levels for several settings and the best is that these controls are not preset. But the interface as a music player is terrible,real crazy. I really dont understand it.
Would there be a way to modify the front end so it would look like Apollo or Google Music Player?

So with or without beats audio, if I'm not using the Google play music app then the sound quality is lowered and no manner of tinkering or equalizer fixes it. I'd like to use poweramp but the speaker quality and headphone quality sounds a lot worse.
PowerAMP has a fully loaded equalizer inside. Disable beats and go play with that to find a sound you like.
I have my z1 setup in my car to play music via bluetooth into the car stereo.
With the sony walkman app, the stereo correctly shows the artist/song information and sounds pretty good.
However, if i use power player, the bluetooth sound quality seems noticeably worse and the stereo doesn't show the song information.
Has anyone else noticed this?
The reason i want to use powerplayer is because the walkman app, annoyingly doesn't' read the 'album artist' tags in songs, so it catalogues the music in a bizarre way if it is all correctly tagged.
Power player reads it properly and sorts via album artist.
I have all EQ + sounds effects turned off in both players and phone menu.
I'm using stock 4.4.4
I've played with a couple of music playing problems (rocket player and GoneMAD Music Player) and I've noticed a problem. Hopefully a few of you can try this out (either with one of those two apps or whatever is more convenient for you) and see if the problem is with my phone or it's a problem with the equalization system. Play any track, and confirm you can pause and unpause the track without problem. Then turn on, in either app, the equalization and specifically play around with the graphic equalizer (rocket player) or bass boost option (gone mad) and see if, when you pause and unpause, you get random changes in volume, including no audio at all. With gone mad the bass boost operates separately from the equalizer.

I have this problem! Whenever I use an app that uses its own equalizer or a third party equalizer and play music I get a max volume spike at the beginning of playback. Have you found any solutions?
