Equalizer+
The clue to a big part of this app is in the name. As with
the other apps mentioned in this post, there's a pretty decent Equalizer built
into this one. It's also a pretty solid music player, though to take advantage
of everything it offers you will need to put your hand in your wallet.
On offer though is that 5-band equalizer with presets, bass
booster, contextual search, a visualizer – which can be displayed on a second
screen – fade and much more. The app is free to download, and you get access to
the main equalizer controls for that, too.
Shuttle
Music Player
Shuttle is perhaps one you've not heard of before, but one
that's definitely worth your attention. Where something like Poweramp is pretty
heavy duty and has tons of settings and customizations, Shuffle offers a
portion of that with a much more lightweight look and feel.
It comes with a sleep timer, gapless playback, a choice of a
few different themes, built in equalizer and much more. And for the HOLOYOLO
kids out there, it's pretty much perfect in how it looks. It comes in free and
paid versions, but with the paid version just $0.99, it also represents
fantastic value for money.
Google Play
Music
Not just a music player, but we have to include Google Play
Music. While it doesn't have the deep customization or power features of
something like Poweramp, it offers what others do not; that huge cloud library
for your own music. After all, without the music to listen too, what good is a
killer music player?
That's not to say Google Play Music isn't a good music
player, because it is. Being a Google product it integrates perfectly with your
device – including the sweet new KitKat lockscreen artwork. But the real value
is in that cloud storage. It means you can take your music collection with you
on whichever Android – and now even iOS – device you own. Sure, you need to
offline some of that from time-to-time, but it's always with you.
Poweramp
Poweramp is another real favorite. It offers a list of
features long enough that we could sit here talking about it all day. But, if
you're serious about your music, you should definitely take a look. Making that
easier is the free 15-day trial. No barriers, just full access for that 15-days
to see whether you like it or not.
And the chances are pretty high that you will like it. It
has a much different visual look to something like DoubleTwist, but looks just
as fantastic in its own way. Big album artwork in the "Now Playing"
view, a crisp and clean layout and some pretty amazing customizations. Poweramp
supports themes and has a bunch of tweaks you can make in the settings, so you
can really create the music player you've always wanted.
With a ton of different files supported, an equalizer,
crossfade, gapless, and much, much more, Poweramp is definitely one of the best
music players on Android.
DoubleTwist
We've talked about DoubleTwist a lot around these parts and
with good reason. DoubleTwist became a favorite of Android users that had deep
roots in the iTunes ecosystem, and still is. But, besides just offering a
simple, seamless way to sync your music between iTunes and Android, DoubleTwist
is a fine music player in its own right.
The basic music player download is free, but if you're
looking for a little more in-app purchases are available to unlock the full
power of the app. It has a lot to offer, too. Beyond the visual appeal you have
an equalizer, high quality album artwork, a "What's Next" list that
eliminates "the guess work of what's coming up next" and support for
a whole bunch of different audio formats.
Add videos, podcasts, wireless syncing to your iTunes
library, sending music to your Apple TV and other devices, DoubleTwist isn't
just a great music player. It's a great all-round media player.
