Which is the best audio player for WM - WITH BEST AUDIO QUALITY!!!!

Hi
Im looking for a audio player which has the best audio quality- please suggest something!!
I basically need an audio player which plays mp3 has a lot of functions(EQ, bass boost etc.) and has the best audio quality!!!
I need it because I have a "kicka**" sound system from "Magnat" at home and I want to reach its full potential, of more than 2000 wats from my Touch HD & my phone is being used as a media center in a lot of parties, cuz I have the biggest music libary on my phone!!!!!!

the inbuilt music player in tf3d is good. it has an equaliser but no volume control if you choose to use it, but then you could control the volume which your music system.

the inbuilt music player is ****.
try pocketplayer or mortplayer. these are really professional players.
but dont expect huge differences in sound output, they will be the same. it depends on what you set in the equalizers..

have you tried lcg jukebox .... !!! try it

There is Phantasm Music Player (40iPlay), but it is hard to buy it because of the paranoid policy of its author.

Using 3rd party players you cannot use remote controls on headsets (for example I'm using Nokia BH-503 with my HD). Am I right?

External controls seems fine... so far

Not true really, as I use Nitrogen (audio/music player) and it works fine with both my SE MBW-150 and HBH220 Bluetooth adapter. Both needing a little messing with, but allows me to choose next track, pause and play.
I'd would prefer not to use an additional music player, because it always needs messing around with to get fully working with all these random toys, but the inbuilt music player, including WM6.5 media player all suck and no easy to just select a folder and play all at random, which is all I want ever really.
(any suggestions would be nice to know)

PocketPlayer works with bluetooth control (A2DP) since version 3.71.
Mortplayer does not support it thanks to new Manila.
Blame HTC, they introduced some fu**ing "tweak" so that only the manila Player has access to the bluetooth control. Pocketplayer can do it because they reverse engineered the problem.

Just loosing your time
Sorry but you are just loosing your time...
I have spent some time trying to find a solution and I am back to my Ipod to drive my Home sound system (Magnat by the way ).
Your problem has nothing to do with the Software you will use but is has to do with the hardware limitations of these little WM device.
The best sound system will always require the best source as poor dynamic range, frequency response or noise level are hidden by poor sound systems but amplified by top quality ones.
Not convinced?
Just have a look, what you will read will confirm what you hear !

Before the HD I had Nokia 5610, with the "dedicated sound chip" , I can hear a big differnece beetween the two-- HD - louder & more bass
so the HD is already an improvement!!!
But still some bad things can be covered with good software and sound system!!!!
BTW-- Magnat - ROCKS!!!! 800W subwoofer & some more speakers with more than 2000 wats of power can bring your whole house down!!!!!

Hi, the HD doesnt have great sound quality full stop i am afraid, I would say dont worry too much about which player, find one that you find comfortable to use, some are too complex non finger friendly menus for instance. All players have decent Eq's and so you should be able to get the best out of the HD with any player.
hope this helps.

You can do this with Core Player if you disable scan card at start up option and select anything from your storage card rather than from a library. Sound quality better than my Ipod IMO. It has a preamp option.

mortplayer is ****tttt and very complicated to use and too slow with hd and has issues with uninstalling and pocket player is slow on HD as well stick to media player and htc touch flo included player they do the job and hell yaaaa there will be no difference in the sound output so why a third party and ram issues stick to original with this and if you are looking for a light player easy to use try s2p iplayer it looks good and it works great but i did uninstall it and i do use htc included player better than anything.

Pure and simple
@custardo01 - Thanks! I actually use Core player already, but mainly for video playback only, as I the GUi so unfriendly... it's an ugly package, but I guess it works well. However Nitrogen feels most friendly to me right now and easy to use when cycling on the London roads.
In regards to the sound quality, I actually think the quality of the HTC Touch HD is pretty dam good. I've tried various portable toys from dedicated portable audio players, mobile phone and those nasty Apple products, but so far it's not bad at all.
For sure it not ground breaking and would prefer the audio quality that the Sony Ericsson P and X series have, but with good pairing via earphones with low ohm requirements, it's close to lowless quality.
Of course ALL of this is pointless if you simply are only listening to Radio signals, standard Mp3 or basic AAC files. I do a huge amount of audio work, both musically, soundtrack and folly so mainly use wav and any other random stuff is always 320kbps Mp3's ...until I can get Mp3HD to work etc
AAC is pretty good when pushed to the maximum, but I'm to lazy to change back to AAC files after years or being on Mp3's, OGG and mainly multi-channel DTS & DD via WAV.
Any EQ system on almost ANY software is always a BAD thing!
Hardware EQ'ing is another thing altogether and even then is still a bad thing (usually). If it sounds bad, it always will do and using an EQ to improve it, I guess I'm just that type of person that disagree's with EQ'ing because you loose what it really was meant to be and not what it is anymore.
IMO: Audio & Visual should be played pure, flat and as is it was created.

Better music player... anyone?

All probably very true, but when your using WM6.5 and not TF3D anymore, you need a good player once again, because of course the WMP is NOT an option.
I'd recommended Nitrogen any day, but still looking for somethin better, nicer and possibly simplier. I liked the TF3D audio player when I was using the basic ROM and Dutty's amazing ROM's but since I've moved over to WM6.5 not much choice... right?
Is their a way to access the TF3D via WM6.5 without actually having the TF3D today page open too?

It is not ugly if you use a skin to cover it up. Search for the DiamondVGA Core Player skin. I have it here if you need it. Forget bluetooth you miss out on so much quality IMO. You will see me on a Black Ridgeback in the London streets with the stock wired headphones in - bald bloke with glasses

I want to ride my bicycle... with my HTC Touch HD blasting TooNz!

LMAO ...I'm on Ridgeback MX4 (modded) travelling from East London to where ever I need be for post-production editing work etc.
Yeah, I gave up on SE Bluetooth adapter when I got my HTC Touch HD as the quality just wasn't right at all and as you say, wired in is still best. I'm currently using Denon AHC551's earphones until they get worn out and need replacing (soon).
I only really use the adapter for random things and I think the Mrs gets more use out of it now when she's out jogging. She's using my old SE P1 and Bluetooth ADP2 seems to sound so much better through them... strange!?
Would the DiamondVGA skin you are suggesting work OK on a HTC Touch HD?

I use S2P Best audio player IMHO. Combined with HTC Audio Booster or SRS WOW Audio of course.

I have got TF3D player, WMP, coreplayer, S2P, pocket player and nitrogen.
To be honest:
Coreplayer is the worst.
Nitrogen is the best, closest to the ordinary MP3 player, but it is not so user friendly as the playlist is not so good.
Pocket player has a lot of eq. setting, but it does not help much.
One important thing is to reduce the stutter and it can be cured by 1.57 HKG ROM or the patch from Diamond. But Diamond patch may drain your battery in a horrible rate, you should better upgrade your ROM.

[Sound MOD] AC!D Audio Technology: Treat your ears to a whole new sound experience!

Hi guys...
I've used Beats Audio Installer (from Play Store), Nexus Louder and Modified DSP with Beats on my phone.
All of them are fairly decent enhancements of our Defy's already nice audio output.
>
But then I flashed AC!D SoundMOD, which I came across in one of the Galaxy S3 forums.
>
IT IS AWESOME.
>
There's a major improvement in sound...
I noticed that even complex background rhythms are very noticeable when using the phones speaker.
>
Earphones and external speakers improved by whole orders of magnitude!!!
>
I'd like more of my fellow Defy users to be able to enjoy this great sound package, and hence I'm making this post.
Please keep in mind that I'm just reposting this here, all work on AC!D SoundMOD was done by r-ikfoot, Rizal Lovins and Knight47 and any other associated devs.
>
AC!D contains all this audio technology:
- Beats Audio by Dr Dre (Powerful bass)
- Clearbass Sound by Sony (Clear Bass)
- Xloud by SonyEricsson (higher sound
volume and clearer sound on speaker)
- Dolby Digital Sound (Equalizer enhancer
bass setting and Surround setting)
- Surround Sound (Deeper bass and
reduction of bass distortion plus EQ setting
support)
- Alsa by Walkman (Audio resampling and
driver activation for android phone)
- Dynamic Bass by Walkman (more Bass
frequency and better bass support)
- DSP Manager by Cyanogen Team (EQ
setting support overall more powerful sound)
- Audio resampling from Sony Xperia T
(NEW!)
- Clearbass audio setting from Xperia
T (NEW! Bass even clearer and deeper
than before!)
- Sony Walkman Player ( NEW! now
with Xperia V style!)
>
So without further ado, here are the links for AC!D SoundMOD.
>
Flashable zip: http://www.mediafire.com/?ujfj1azabcw1ibw

PLEASE NOTE THAT IT ONLY WORKS ON ICS AND JB- MIUI, AOKP, CM9 & CM10

DON'T FLASH IF YOURE RUNNING FROYO OR GINGERBREAD ROMS
>
Original Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1883317

1. After downloading the zip, first make sure your System partition has at least 20MB free space. (That's quite a bit, I know, but we'll talk about reducing that later in the post.)
2. Place the downloaded zip on your SD card in your folder of choice, and reboot the phone into recovery.
3. Clear the cache partition.
4. Now choose 'Install zip from sdcard'.
5. Choose your zip file from its location and confirm that you want to flash it.
6. Wait for the zip to get installed.
7. Wipe cache again. [I just like doing this a lot ]
8. Reboot and rejoice!
>
>
[HOW TO] Free up some memory after flashing AC!D:
>
Now this zip is 18 MB, but 8MB out of that is Walkman visualiser. The Walkman Google and Facebook plugins are ~2MB.
All these apps are no use as system apps, so go to Titanium Backup or whatever app backup/ manipulation software you use, and convert VISUALISER to user app.
This won't affect visualiser functionality, just free up some memory.
Similarly, you can move or uninstall the Google Images, Facebook and other plugins.
Only the WALKMAN player won't move to user storage.

Open your ears to a whole new world of music.
Have fun!!!

**** in -> **** out.
All those audio mods for android are useless, everything you need is an equalizer and a trained ear.
Even if you put 10 plugins modifying the bass frequencies on there, that won't change the fact that you're plugging 1/2 inch headphones into your ears.
The AD/DA converters will still be as bad as they were when being manufactured.
You won't get the same bass response like from a subwoofer (which isn't really audible anyway, most of it you feel in your stomache area) and you won't have ANY crosstalk like from regular speakers.. and bear in mind that this is the setup your music is being created on.
There are two ways to improve your listening experience on your Android phone:
1) Don't use those ****ty earphones
2) Use those ****ty earphones but try to recreate a linear frequency curve by listening to music on a better setup and then use an equalizer to match it at least a little
If you've been listening to your music as MP3s then this whole operation is stupid anyway.
Buy (!) your music, and rip it in a lossless format like FLAC. This will increase the size of your rips, but it might be worth your while.

Agree except maybe for the flac part, on blind test almost anybody can't tell the difference between flac and mp3 @ 320kbps

I know that with crappy speakers, there's no way to improve the sound experience.
As I say in the OP, most of the improvement was over EXTERNAL SPEAKERS.

I know you hate these packages, but at least try it out before passing judgement.

And I'm not talking just bass boosts here. To be honest most plugins end up over emphasizing the bass, and end up distorting the music.

Yes, you're right, I was a bit exaggerating.
But when I have a look at my friends computers I still see 128kbps *.wmas lying around.
It's at least something you should pay attention to.

Should have been moved to themes and apps . General is too abstract .

Between , I can't really make out any difference in audio quality .
I have disabled dsp by renaming it and then rebooting .
Using Sennheiser CX 680 in ear .

Work fine. Also Acid Mod for Sony. I tried and works well ^^

there is no need for audio mods, an equalizer is more than enough... its all about the headset, not the software.
im using a thermaltake esports isurus headset and have 320kbps mp3 files, highly doubt that anyone would need better sound quality than this...

Have tried today for a couple minutes....poweramp is much better than this mod....

DSP Manager with 10hz bass unlock is significantly better
but ty anyways.

what is the best rom to improve music quaility

I have research the problem with fuzzy noise on many songs on my s3 even using power amp, I found many folks that have the same problem. The fuzzy static drives me nuts I'm using klipsch x10 ear buds so they are descent quality. I though maybe a rom change might do it,
Thanks for any advice.
-David
but I tried
well I guess I should have checked this first. The Stock music player seems to fix it. It fixes the songs with fuzzy static but the songs that were clear don't sound as good in the stock player. I'm surprised, power amp has served me well for a long time. I don't know if its the equalizer in power amp or what but power amp (when there's no static") does a song good. Real good. I guess I'll be waiting for an update.

Try neutron music player, it doesn't use the android drivers for audio it had it's own and has no fuzz.

Don't know if this will help but you can try out the AC!D mod

Weird, I end up with the opposite. Poweramp sounds clear as day and Google music gets fuzzy.

You could use dsp manager, etc, to tweak the eq to improve sounds quality to a degree. The quality and source of your music also is a factor.

[Q] Further increasing the GN2's Audio Quality?

Hey guys,
I'm running Skynote 8.3 at the moment with the Perseus Kernel.
I primarily use Poweramp as my audio player of choice. On top of that, I use 320kbps MP3's and FLACs.
I've tweaked the DAC through STweaks to the best my ears can appreciate. The same goes for Poweramp.
Now, is there any other method of further increasing audio quality with these two running simultaneously? I'm looking to increase the dynamic range of my music a bit. I primarily use ATH-M50's or Super.Fi 5EB's.
I'm not quite looking for things like Ac!d audio, Beats, etc. I'd rather not have 50,000 audio processors running simultaneously either. Ac!d always messed up for me anyway..lol.
Any ideas? I'd like to install things that are easily removable rather than a slew of software included in a single package.
Thanks!

[DISCUSSION]Which Music/Video Player & Equalizer You Prefer Most for Your Galaxy Y?

[DISCUSSION]Which Music/Video Player & Equalizer You Prefer Most for Your Galaxy Y?
Hello XDA,as per the thread is titled,share your Pros & Cons of the Music/Video player (plz include paid/pro/plus version or not & of course the link) & last but not least the Equalizer you use the most & rate it a number (fraction is allowed) out of 10.​
Below is an example how you will write your experience.I am sharing mine.
Music Player: JetAudio Music Player Plus
Pros: Nice UI,easy to navigate,a 20-band equalizer,crossfade,gapless playback,rewind control,finest playback etc. What else might an Audiophile need!?
Cons: Almost Zero,i haven't faced any issues yet.totally worth the money i spent! though some rework on UI needs but not so Bad at all! of course you are listening music,who cares about UI!
Rating: 9.7 out of 10.
Video Player: MX Player
Pros: What can i say about it! just wanna say any video format i throw at it,it plays them all!
Cons: Almost Zero. But playing huge files can be a big issue with your single core phone!
Rating: 9.0 out of 10.
Equalizer: VIPER4ANDROID FX
Pros: Music has never been so good without it! reverb effects,sorround effects,bass & clarity control & most of all the Convolver! Mind F***ing Awesomeness when i turn it on & listen to my playlists.
Cons: Music Lags when you turn the screen off,you have to use the max value of your CPU freq. & powerful governor when playing with it,specially while the Convolver is turned on.Besides you will face a little battery drain than usual. But totally worths it!
Rating: 9.9 out of 10.

Now share yours! Let the Awesomeness begin! :highfive:

I use MX Player to watch videos, but i don't know why, i've got some lags with it, they are not huge at all, but quitte annoying... if someone can help me to solve this it can be very cool by the way
To listen to my music, i use Winamp or Poweramp because i have some files in FLAC ( Better audio format than MP3 320 Kbps for who didn't know it )
- Good points for Winamp :
Webradio Support.
And i use Viper4AndroidFX to improve my Beats by Dre headphones. ( this FX App is better than Beats Audio. ) V4A changed my poor headphones into good mid-high headphones. i'll test with a Wavemaster Dakota headphone soon ( for those who wanna a great deal. These headphones are only sales at 30€. And they have a better quality than Beats headphones. Tested & Approved. )

@OxygeenHD you can max out the cpu freq & governor to solve your issue with mx player. & yaah poweramp is great too but i can't control it with remapping my hardware buttons,that's why i dont prefer it.
& for viperfx it's a superb creation! really turns my cheap earphone into a monstar! but i am looking forward to buy a better earphone,maybe someday.... :fingers-crossed:
