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

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.

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.
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 =)

Hey all, I'm looking for a music player. I've always used poweramp in the past, but I'm having some stability issues with it. I generally listen to music for about an hour a day in my car via Bluetooth. Lately, for some reason, poweramp hangs and then reboots the phone.
I've tried Play Music for a couple of days now, and no reboots so far.I do miss a couple of poweramp features though. I like the swipe to change tracks, and the setting to keep the screen on while playing.
Any other recommendations for Music players?
Edit: I should mention the portrait-only aspect of Apollo disqualifies it. My phone is in a cradle in landscape in my car.

I'm using noozy, no groundbreaking features and not as many options as power amp, but the sound quality is just too good to pass up. I listen with my headphones, so I'm not entirely sure if you'd notice the difference with your Bluetooth car speakers. If you listen to music with headphones or something of that sort though, I'd highly advise trying this player

I've always had to bump up my min cpu speed to use bluetooth audio and it work well on multiple phones and versions of android. Usually 400 seems to be the most responsive min speed for a variety of things to me. From bluetooth issues to gps issues to seeing who is calling fast enough to answer.

Poweramp hangs when you're overclocking.
If you really need OC, use SetCPU and set profiles only for apps that need overclocking.

I've never overclocked this phone at all.
I tried setting minimum CPU to 400MHz as suggested in this thread, and so far it has worked. I haven't tested it enough to be sure.
been using n7player for about a week now. its got a really nice interface, built in eq and sound quality is better than say gmusic. be sure to grab their beta by liking their facebook page. it fixes some issues in the play store app

Except when it randomly causes your phone to reboot.:cyclops:
I'll be sticking with poweramp though, because raising the minimum cpu to 400 MHz seems to have solved the problem, and had a pretty negligible effect on battery life.
Thanks for all the suggestions folks.
Yeah, that's what I've found as far as 400 being min. Glad it helped some for ya.

if you aiming for pure sound quality, you should try noozy + noozxoide engine...
i've already tested many music player from poweramp, N7, playerPro, Neutron, Walkman, XenoAmp, MIUI music player, Apollo, songbird, rockbox, or even stock player, but none of them surpassing the sound quality of noozy, at least in my ears :angel:

I have PlayerPro as well, and i must say that app rocks!!!! very easy to use for the driver who wants to quickly change a song(especially w/ volume rocker controls enabled) As far as BT, that technology can be a ***** sometimes tho....go along w/ DPEEPS and try to bump up your min cpu speed a hair. :good:
Why does everyone have to bump up their min CPU? doubleTwist does a great lagless job on 100/1000 cfq/ondemand!!

I don't have to. I prefer to. I've found that everything that most people complain about...gps, bluetooth, playing music, general lag, etc...are all non issues for me when I use 400 as min cpu. It held true on my hero and it holds true on my ns4g.

Can anyone suggest a good music player with EQ which sud work good with stock Rom 5.0.2.
So far i ve tested few players like.
PowerAmp - Trial version but Awesome
EQ music player- average
Mp3 Player- average
NRG Player- average
Music Player- average.
& many more.......
but plz let me know which ever good music players...
to be honest .... poweramp is the only best music player unless you have viper4android
Try jetaudio.
Poweramp is absolutely great, in combination with viper4android simply the best.
You need to try Shutle+ by SimpleCity, it's really good. Another good one is Doubletwist.
