Player for Android with flac support. Top Ten Music Players for Android

Twitter

There was already an article on Trashbox with a selection of the best music players on Android, but 3 years will soon pass since its publication, so it’s time to update this topic. In this article you will find the most comfortable, beautiful and functional applications to listen to music on Android. Read more under the cut.

We tested many different music players for Android and collected the best of them. This article presents applications that have similar functionality, but in some ways differ from each other - in design or capabilities. However, each of these programs can be fully used to listen to music on Android.

Music player Stellio comes from Belarus. And oddly enough, in the CIS they were able to create a very good application for listening to music on smartphones, tablets and even smart watches with Android Wear. Stellio has everything you need to a simple user, and to the hardened music lover:

One of the “tricks” of Stellio is changing the color scheme of the interface to match the style of the album cover. That is why the chameleon became the symbol of the program. And all this is flavored with an extensive settings menu, where you can customize almost any function to suit you.

Stellio widget

Recently, Stellio has become available for free, but with advertising. However, for those who want to constantly use a high-quality player, it is better to buy the full version for 99 rubles - a fairly low price for a convenient tool that you will use for a long time.

Poweramp for Android is the ArchLinux of music players - it's both powerful and easy to use. The program has an original archaic interface, which has few additional menus. The main actions take place on the main screen, where you can switch between albums and tracks by swiping. The main navigation takes place in a special menu, where you can view your library by folders or by already compiled categories.

There is a good equalizer with presets for every taste, as well as a tool for adjusting tone and volume. The settings menu is where PowerAMP comes into its own. Here you can distort the interface as soon as your heart desires or play with sound effects. There is a function for loading album covers from Internet services. You can also set up scrobbling on Last.fm. Like Stellio, the PowerAMP player pleased me with its good recognition of FLAC rips with CUE.

PowerAMP widget

The desktop widget is standard. PowerAMP also has support for custom interface skins. They are created both by the developers themselves and by a huge community. IN Google Play you can find a large number of these skins. The most beautiful ones are in HD quality. They are in a separate category.

BlackPlayer is an application with a very nice style interface Windows Phone. Navigation in this player is done with vertical gestures to the right and left. In standard black color scheme the application looks very stylish. All this with smooth and beautiful animations. One of the interesting features in BlackPlayer is loading the biographies of performers and groups. Information about them is downloaded from Last.fm, so descriptions are often translated into Russian. So small but useful features please.

The equalizer is not the coolest, but it’s fine for adjusting the sound for any headphones. You can also apply sound effects. In the settings you can find ample opportunities for editing the interface - you can even apply your own font. Cover uploading and scrobbling are also available. BlackPlayer's desktop widget is not the coolest - just a big “plate” with three buttons. It could have been better. I also managed to discover an important drawback - the player could not properly recognize an uncut FLAC recording with a CUE playlist.

BlackPlayer widget

Overall, BlackPlayer will appeal to those who want a beautiful music player without unnecessary and intrusive features. However, extensive capabilities will allow you to customize the player for the most demanding user. Users switching to Android from Windows Phone should definitely check out the program.

AIMP is one of the few completely free players on both Android and Windows. There are no advertisements or limited functionality for free. paid version. If you are a person who is not used to paying for programs, then AIMP is definitely for you. However, popular wisdom says that free cheese can only be found in a mousetrap. It's not that AIMP is a mousetrap, but the player itself is very simple and does not have a lot of functions.

But it has everything you need to the average user:

There is nothing more to say about AIMP - just a solid player with a nice design and good standard sound.

Phonograph is a young player, which was created under the impression of a new “material” design at the time of its release. The program interface is designed in a minimalist style with bright, but not offensive, elements. The main navigation occurs through four tabs: songs, albums, artists and playlists. In terms of functions and capabilities, Phonograph is even more ascetic than AIMP, but it is also free.

Phonograph doesn't even have its own equalizer, but it does support external ones. That is, you can download a third-party equalizer from Android and enable it in the player. Also among the shortcomings is the lack of support for uncut FLAC rips with CUE playlists. You can listen to them, but they are not displayed as a playlist and their tags are not recognized.

Phonograph widget

From strengths Phonograph: convenient and attractive interface, customizable, easy to use, free.

Along with Phonograph, it is worth noting the Shuttle player, which is very similar in its interface concept and set of functions. These are two very similar apps, but Shuttle has more options.

JetAudio is another mobile player that has moved to Android from computers. On Windows, this program was famous primarily for its powerful set of capabilities in terms of customizing the interface and sound. The developers tried to transfer all these features to the mobile JetAudio. The application has a built-in ten-band equalizer (even more in the paid version) with many presets. For those who like to mock the sound, several modules with effects are provided. In general, JetAudio will help you achieve more or less decent sound even on the worst headphones.

As for the interface, JetAudio is not original here - a typical hamburger menu with several items. Navigation through albums, tracks and lists is extremely simple and clear. Among the original features it is worth noting: search for a track on YouTube, many control settings, complete freedom to customize the interface and playback. And among all the players presented in this selection, JetAudio has the most widgets different formats: 1x1, 2x2, 2x3, 3x3, 4x1, 4x2, 4x3, 4x4 and 5x5. In general, you can use these widgets on two screens - there is something for every taste.

One of the JetAudio widgets

But the player did not pass the test for CUE support - it did not read my unbroken FLAC recording properly. The paid version of JetAudio with the Plus prefix costs 259 rubles. Buyers of the program receive a lot of advantages - all functions are unlocked and removed advertisements. All in all, JetAudio is a great Swiss army knife that will take you anywhere.

The rather old PlayerPro player has not changed in appearance for several years, but this does not prevent it from being one of the best in its category. Despite the widespread dominance of material design, PlayerPro remains true to its old-style design with raised icons and glossy colors. Under such a conservative shell hides a powerful filling.

A simple interface with a right panel allows you to quickly navigate through all the right categories and menu. Unlike many other players, in PlayerPro you can edit the main menu, removing unnecessary items from there. For creating custom playlists and mixes, it is provided special system rating, where each track can be rated. The rating is taken into account and all tracks with marked ratings are presented in a separate menu. In terms of creating playlists, PlayerPro has gone far ahead of its competitors - here this function is really thought out.

PlayerPro Widgets

PlayerPro has a fairly simple equalizer, but in the settings you can find a lot of useful things: scrobbling, loading song lyrics, customizing the design with themes, gestures and adjusting the sound using the DSP module, and much more. There are also quite a lot of widgets - only six types. In general, PlayerPro is in no way inferior to other players, and in some cases even wins.

These were the best and most functional music players for Android, but besides them, you should pay attention to these apps:

- mobile version of the oldest player with powerful settings, but not the best user-friendly interface.
- a nice player with a standard set of functions.
is a Chinese application known to many since the days of Symbian.

There was a time when the basic Android player was still a satisfactory solution, at best. Fortunately, it didn't take long for enterprising developers to offer consumers a wide range of music applications, each with its own features and an equally unique user interface. There's a lot to explore, but we've narrowed it down to present our favorites. From lightweight, cloud-based streaming music players to feature-rich apps that will delight even the most spoiled audiophile, here are our top ten best Android music players.

Google Play Music
Version: 6.4.2417W.2625988 (downloads: 798)

A music application that by default includes Android from version 4.1 Jellybean, Google Play Music, is definitely a step up from the stock Android music player. The application received basic player functionality, sorting by albums, artists and genres, as well as an equalizer, but this is far from a complete picture. Google Play Music offers a cloud streaming feature that allows users to upload their music library to Google's cloud locker, where music can be accessed on demand. Add here application integration into play store Google, and you get a player that you can't afford to miss.

Amazon MP3

The Amazon MP3 app is a rather spartan music player whose claim to fame rests on its access to Amazon's massive library and cloud video streaming. Amazon MP3 is an application of two parts, which are the player and access to the store. The magic begins when you take advantage of the cloud player, which allows you to upload your music (as well as any Amazon music products) to the cloud for on-demand streaming or downloading to your smartphone/tablet. The service stores all your Amazon music purchases, plus 250 other songs for free, with much more storage space available with a premium subscription to the service.

WinAmp

WinAmp offers its users a solid music player, with easy playlist management, sorting by artist, album and genre, as well as Last.FM and SHOUTcast radio functions. It also offers an easy-to-use sync option with the WinAmp player on your computer, as well as the ability to sync over WiFi, eliminating the need to connect your mobile device to your computer. A glaring drawback is the lack of a built-in equalizer that comes with the Pro version ($4.99), along with FLAC file playback, ad muting, and other features.

Poweramp

Poweramp is a full-fledged Android player, available for free as a 15-day trial only, with an upgrade to the full version for $3.99. The application includes support for a wide range of audio formats, a 10-band graphic equalizer, support for .cue files and numerous playlist formats. A tag editor, quick library search, a lock screen widget, and numerous visual and music settings make Poweramp excellent choice, if you're willing to shell out some money for a good music player for Android.

MixZing Music Player
version: 4.4.1 Full (downloads: 1225)

MixZing is a smart music player that diligently tries to figure out what you like to listen to and then organizes your automatic lists playback to play the songs you like best. Just listen to a few songs, and then MixZing will start digging through your library to find tracks by similar artists, genres, tags, etc., after which the app will automatically generate a playlist based on recommendations. As you add or remove tracks, the app will continue to tailor its recommendations based on your tastes, allowing it to work with unorganized music collections. MixZing also comes with a tag editor, graphic equalizer and many other features.

Rocket Music Player
Version 3.4.1.60 Premium (downloads: 907)

Rocket Music Player is an easy-to-use music player that includes some quality features, even though it has a free distribution policy. The application offers a Holo-style interface, which is characterized by minimalist settings and seems unfinished without getting used to it, but this does not interfere with its main job: high-quality music playback. Basic player functions, a built-in equalizer, library search and a number of settings, as well as widgets for the home screen and lock screen, all completely free. Paid upgrade unlocks support huge amount formats, customizable 10-band equalizer, download album and much more.

Neutron Music Player ($3.99)

Cracked: version: 1.5.9 (downloads: 1664)

Neutron Music Player likes to describe itself as a professional music player for the discerning public, and it lives up to that claim by offering a ton of audio settings and a variety of features. In addition to broad support for audio formats, Neutron Music Player also comes with numerous DSP settings for things like surround sound, noise filtering, as well as audio normalization, pitch control, and a host of others. The advanced features will likely be overkill for everyday use, but are ideal for those willing to tinker for the perfect sound.

n7player

version: 2.5.3 Premium (4.1.x+) (downloads: 1889)

n7player offers an innovative user interface with searchable navigation through your music collection. The player presents its content in the form of a smaller tag cloud, where you will find artists and genres. Gesture navigation allows you to zoom in on the desired tag to look at album covers, as a result, the player offers an attractive spatial element. Apart from its unique user interface, n7player also offers a decent audio player with a 5-band equalizer, bass boost, and virtual surround sound. The player is distributed in the form of a 14-day trial version, which costs $3.49 to unlock.

PlayerPro Music Player ($4.95)
Version 3.6: (downloads: 836)

PlayerPro is a feature-rich media player with numerous options and settings designed to customize the sound quality just the way you like it. Simple library search and filtering by artist, album or folder are combined with a built-in tag editor, while a more visual album cover wall offers responsive gesture scrolling. Built-in 5-band EQ with reverb, boost low frequencies, as well as audio presets, offers a range of high-quality and accessible audio parameters, while the more powerful (and free) DSP plugin offers a 10-band equalizer, seamless playback functions, crossfade and many other solutions.

DoubleTwist
Version 2.0.0 full: (downloads: 1944)
version: 2.6.5 (downloads: 337)

The DoubleTwist music player stands out for its high-quality synchronization with desktop computer and other devices. The DoubleTwist desktop app features an iTunes-style interface that searches and organizes your music (even tracks purchased from iTunes), then lets you connect and sync your device through the Android app, making syncing a breeze. The app update offers WiFi syncing, AirPlay for AppleTV or AirPlay for compatible speakers, podcast control, an equalizer, and a wall of album art.

As the mobile phones With their technological growth, music players are becoming less and less popular as standalone devices. You can download gigabytes of music (mp3, flac, vorbis, etc.) to the memory of mobile devices (Android/iOS) and listen to it in good quality. If the sound quality is not satisfactory, it is easy to tweak the equalizer and thereby make the sound more saturated.

I suggest choosing a player to play music and audio files in the selection best music players for the Android platform for 2017. Here is a list of great players that have passed our rigorous selection process:

Music Player PowerAMP Pro

PowerAMP- perhaps the most famous multimedia player on Android with a simple and intuitive interface. By installing the player on your phone, you get full set musical possibilities necessary for a music lover.

PowerAMP 3 Pro Music Player Interface: Built-in Equalizer

The PowerAMP interface does not depart from the canons of the traditional interface of mp3 players. On the main screen of mobile audio PowerAMP player Pro (let's consider this version) the cover of the song being played is displayed. Under the cover is the name of the song and album. The audio player contains three navigation buttons and a timeline with the ability to smoothly scroll through the composition.

In addition to controlling playback, the PowerAMP 3 player allows you to sort your music by folders and albums, artists and genres. However, the last three options for filtering music are not entirely accurate, since they are based on the tags specified in the description of the audio file. In addition, in the audio player you can create your own playlists for further listening on Android.

Among the additional functions of the PowerAMP 3 mobile audio player, fine-tuning of the sound should be noted. This is important for the Android OS, since the standard capabilities of the audio system are limited.

The player's equalizer is one of the best for Android OS. Contains ten sliders of different frequencies and another one to regulate the overall volume of the composition. Adjusting the equalizer will allow you to adjust the sound and hide some flaws. If you have cheap headphones, such an adjustment will not be superfluous.

There are presets - prepared equalizer settings. In addition, the PowerAMP player can change the tone, the balance of stereo sound, there is a switch between stereo and mono sound, and the balance of sound in the left and right headphone speakers.

Another interesting feature of the PowerAMP player is downloading covers for music library songs. Allows the user to automatically or manually load covers for tracks according to song tags.

The full version of the PowerAMP Music Player Pro music player will cost users a symbolic $3. To do this, you need to download Poweramp Unlocker and unlock the audio player. A two-week trial version of Powerump can be downloaded for free. It allows you to listen to music for 15 days. By the way, a hacked Poweramp is available on the 4pda forum, but we would not recommend using a pirated player.

Music Player Pro

Unlike PowerAMP Music Player, PlayerPro has a unique interface. However, the developers claim that after you get used to the music player, the controls will seem as simple and convenient as possible. To familiarize yourself with the interface, you will be offered a short training course.

Main features of PlayerPro:

Built-in music tag editor
Search, filter and sort songs
Downloading covers and lyrics from the Internet
Multi-band equalizer and sound amplifier
Song rating system, statistics recording
Customizable player interface
Adding widgets to your home screen

PlayerPro audio player interface

The main screen of this player on Android differs slightly from the standard view. Half of the PlayerPro window is occupied by the album cover, the other part by the name of the song, album, navigation, timeline, repeat and random playback toggle switches, track number and the total number of songs in the folder/playlist.

There are three small buttons on the audio player panel: playlist, additional functions and volume controls.

The "Playlist" button displays the current playlist instead of the cover image.

Additional features include the following: jump to the track's album and current artist, song and album information, and cover art settings. By the way, covers for the player are downloaded from the Internet or downloaded from the Android gallery.

The third key feature of the PlayerPro player is sound settings. To correct the sound you can use

five equalizer controls
virtualizer and bass amplifier
select reverb mode (echo)
save or select standard presets for the equalizer.

Advice. If you want to expand the capabilities of PlayerPro, download a free DSP package with sound effects. It includes:

10-band equalizer with preamp (sound amplifier)
crossfade - smooth change of compositions
Gapless extension: removing pauses and delays in music tracks

A subjective drawback of the Music Player Pro music player for Android is its non-standard interface: not everyone will find it convenient. Otherwise, this mp3 player works without bugs and errors on the Android OS.

The price of the full version of the audio player is just over two dollars (DSP extensions are included). You can download the player for Android using the link below.

Free AIMP audio player for Android

Music player Aimp for Android created by a Russian developer, so localization is available. The mp3 player has a classic interface: it consists of a control window, an equalizer and a playlist (see screenshot).

Of the music formats, Aimp supports all standard Android audio formats. What else is interesting: in addition to MP3, WMA, AAC, OGG, loseless (APE and FLAC), you can listen to multi-channel music files. However, they weigh a lot and do not fit into the mobile format.

The shells of the AIMP audio player look modern, and in design they are in some places superior to the now obsolete Winamp. AIMP also supports window animation and changing interface colors. Skins for AIMP are available on the official website. The appearance of the audio player changes beyond recognition, according to the taste and color of the Android OS user.

The usability of the player for Android is excellent. When you click a button in AIMP, drop-down menus appear. This command is available a little faster than through context menu sections or dialogs.

The interface is informative. In the playlist, the second line displays information about the composition: sampling frequency, bitrate and audio track size. It's easy to delete a file from your phone through the file's context menu. You can select a playlist directly from the list in the program window.

When playing a song, all information is displayed in the feed, and there is no need to expand the player over the windows to find out all the data about the file. I was pleased with the variety of audio player settings: hot keys, associations, playlist settings, visualizations and other sections.

There is no abundance of options in the Aimp audio player - everything that is not included in the playback tasks, the developer decided to put into external modules. This is an audio converter (MP3, OGG, WMA, etc. formats are supported), tag editor and audio recording.

Plugins are divided into DSP, Input, Output, Visual and Addon. By default, only external and built-in plugins are available. The easiest way to download add-ons (skins, visualizations) is on the official Aimpa website. They are turned on and off through the AIMP Utilities interface.

Another useful feature of the AIMP audio player is the ability. To broadcast, just connect M3U or PLS playlists.

In fact, Aimp is great free analogue"dead" Winamp. As of 2017, it can be argued that this is one of the best mobile players. In other words, Aimp is, if you like, a Winamp mp3 player, but “corrected and expanded.” As an mp3 player, Aimp for Android is informative, understandable and pleasant to use.

Full version of Aimp for Android AIMP(v2.00, build 289) can be downloaded from the official website of the application, as well as from Google Play, Google Drive and Yandex Drive.

The shells of the AIMP audio player look very decent, modern, and in terms of design they are in some places superior to Winamp, which has sunk into oblivion. AIMP also supports window animation (sliding and sliding) and changing the interface color using a special slider color palette. Skins for AIMP 4 are available on the official website, so the appearance can be customized beyond recognition to the taste and color of the listener.

In terms of convenience, this player for Android is also excellent. When you press a button in AIMP 4, drop-down menus appear, and the command is accessible a little faster than through context menu sections or dialogs. The interface is informative. In the playlist, the second line displays information about the composition: sampling frequency, bitrate and size. By the way, it is possible to physically delete a file through the file’s context menu. You can select a playlist directly from the list in the program window, which is also very convenient. The program can be minimized to the notification area or run in a reduced size. When playing a new song, all information is displayed in the information feed, so there is no need to expand the player over the windows to find out all the data about the file. I was pleased with the variety of audio player settings: hot keys, associations, playlist settings, visualizations and other sections.

File manager and player equalizer Aimp

There is no abundance of options in the Aimp audio player - everything that is not included in the playback tasks, the developer decided to include in four external applications. This is a CD ripper (for digitizing audio discs), an audio converter (MP3, OGG, WMA, etc. formats are supported), tag editor and audio recording.

Of the music formats, Aimp for Android supports all standard audio formats. What’s also interesting: in addition to MP3, WMA, AAC, OGG, loseless (APE and FLAC), it is possible to listen to multi-channel music files (although it must be admitted that they “weigh” a lot and do not fit very well into the mobile format).

Another useful feature of the AIMP 2 audio player is the ability (to broadcast, just connect M3U or PLS playlists in the link).

Regarding plugins: they are divided into DSP, Input, Output, Visual and Addon. By default, only external and built-in plugins are available. The easiest way to download add-ons (skins, visualizations) is on the official Aimpa website. They are turned on and off through the AIMP Utilities interface.

An excellent analogue of Winamp, only corrected and expanded. As of 2017 - perhaps best player for Android in Russian.

Full Aimp version for Android AIMP (v2.00, build 289) can be downloaded from the official website of the application, as well as from Google Play, Google Drive and Yandex Drive.

Music player n7player music player for Android

n7player music player- another good audio player for Android with an intricate non-standard interface.

The main window of the “n7player” application displays a cloud of artists whose songs are available on your phone/tablet. By performing a standard two-finger movement to zoom in, you will see the actual album covers of these artists, which the music player builds into a multi-line table. The disadvantage of such an interface is the missing or incomplete information about the artist or song, on the basis of which the cover grid is built. It is often displayed incorrectly in the player or is not available at all. The situation is similar with the music grid sorted by genre.

n7player player shell

But in order to avoid these inconveniences, the audio player for Android “n7player” has a standard button, which is located at the bottom of the screen in the form of a note. With its help, you can filter music by folders, playlists, albums, genres and artists. In addition to the cover and standard function keys, the playback screen has a button to display the song lyrics, if any. also in top panel There are buttons to go to the music settings menu, the current playlist, the search window and additional functions. The latter include changing the theme in n7player, an auto-shutdown timer and various options. Music settings include bass and soprano boost, automatic volume normalization, balance and a 10-band audio equalizer for Android with ready-made presets and the ability to manually adjust.

The full version of the n7player pro audio player costs three dollars - the same as a cup of coffee.

BlackPlayer Music Player is a good audio player for your phone

The practicality of the BlackPlayer Music Player audio player lies in the fact that its operation does not require large expenditures of mobile device resources, which is why BlackPlayer slows down Music player are not observed.

BlackPlayer is a good minimalistic player

On the main screen of the audio player on Android there are two navigation panels. The top one allows you to sort all available music in the following ways: tracks, artists, albums, genres, and in the full version - folders. You can also change the view by sliding across the screen in the appropriate direction. The side navigation panel is a menu and contains the following items: library, playlists, music search, equalizer, visualizer and settings.

The equalizer in the BlackPlayer Music Player media player has five bands, as well as ready-made settings presets. After opening the equalizer, you can go to the menu in the top panel or by swiping sound effects, where the following functions are available: balance control, bass boost, sound virtualizer and amplifier. By selecting “virtualizer” in the main menu, you can configure and enable a sound screen that accompanies music playback.

Among the application settings there are such useful ones as the reaction of the “BlackPlayer Music Player” program to connecting/disconnecting headphones or to a call, as well as various interface and design settings. Speaking about the media player as a whole, we should note its simplicity and speed of operation, but the disadvantages include poor readability of Cyrillic texts.

Music Cube (Free Music Player) - audio player with multi-band equalizer

The interface of this player is made in the form of a cube (Music Cube), which somewhat simplifies or complicates navigation, depending on who you choose. Beautiful, pleasant, transparent shell, interactivity - but, with all these amenities, on weak phones and older versions of Android the mp3 player can slow down significantly. Unfortunately, the Russian language is not included with the player, so those who do not know English will have to act by intuition, fortunately it is not very difficult.

Music Cube - audio player for Android with a “cubic” interface

Music Cube audio player has two music panels: full-screen and small-screen. In both of them, it’s easy to perform quick actions with musical compositions: repeat, shuffle mode and other actions available in almost any Android player.

Songs, albums and artists in Music app Cubes appear as a list in your music library, and you can search for the tracks you want via meta tag search.

The music equalizer is good because it can automatically adapt to the musical environment on Android. You can switch between presets and, of course, create your own settings in the equalizer. In addition, the player has an interesting low-frequency enhancement function - BassBoost. The neighboring function, Virtualizer, allows you to slightly adjust the acoustic picture and listen to music in “better” quality (everything is very subjective here, of course).

Tags inside the Music Cube audio player can be edited without problems and on the fly; the tag editor is designed for this: the user can change the name, title, genre, year, etc. The playlist is also familiar; it’s convenient to drag and drop audio tracks, perform quick actions, even completely deleting music from the phone.

All in all. Music Cube - quite good player with an exotic, spectacular interface. The functional content was also pleasing: “Cube” corresponds to similar music applications for Android and has a convenient library, a built-in equalizer and pleasant additional functions that have a positive effect on the playback of audio files.

Pulsar Pro mp3 player for Android

Player for Android with beautiful name Pulsar is not very noticeable and, let's say, not so popular among similar audio players on Google Play. But there is something about this application that captivates, and besides, overall rating the player has about 4.5 points.

The first thing that attracts attention to the music player for Android Pulsar is its discreet, quite classic application interface, not burdened with effects and unnecessary “tinsel.” It is designed in the style of the notorious material design (which is rare for the average music app). "Pulsar" does not have any bells and whistles or unique sound settings, but you can customize it for yourself by changing the design theme (more than 15 options are reserved for aesthetes). Everything about the mobile audio player is intuitive and friendly - just as the developers from Rhythm Software describe their creation.

Pulsar - a laconic mp3 player for Android

Managing music through a playlist in the audio player is as standard as it gets. Additional tools include an ID3 editor, a convenient music library with flexible search by audio recordings, folders, genres, artists and other meta tags. For Android users those who need fine-tuning of the sound - an equalizer and a multi-band tone editor are included in the player package.

You can't ignore some of the player's Internet functions, in particular, automatic downloading of covers to your phone and scrobbling. Among the remaining functions: continuous listening, smart playlists and music timer sleep.

You can download the audio player for Android using the link:

Android Standard Audio Formats

Results. All of the above mp3+ players for Android are not a complete list of Google Play favorites, but we tried to select the highest quality music players on the phone, according to reviews and authoritative Western sources. However, among all the above-mentioned audio players, the top of our subjective leaders includes PowerAMP Music Player - a multifunctional player. It does a great job with your music collection and offers the ability to fine-tune the sound. Thus, PowerAMP can rightfully be considered the best music player for Android - it’s not for nothing that in many reviews of recent years (2015-2016) it is given primacy.

The Music Player Pro and n7player applications, despite the excellent tools, have an atypical interface, and these players will take some time to get used to. But this does not mean that they stand in the shadow of the glory of PowerAMP.
