Music Player Android

There's an endless supply of music apps on the Play Store, so it can be challenging to find the best one that suits your personal needs. This is why we gathered our favorites and broken them down by audiophile quality, streaming, local, free, and theming, as these are some of the best Android apps around that go hand-in-hand with the best smartphones out there. So no matter your needs, today's best music player roundup is for you. Enjoy!

Neutron Music Player is great for hi-res audio, and it comes packed with features, like support for all audio codecs, a parametric equalizer, bit-perfect playback, and every other feature you'd expect from an audiophile-grade music app. Even though the UI looks a bit dated and poorly laid out, the tech behind the app makes this release shine.

This audio player courts audiophiles. It supports USB audio DACs and HiRes audio chips, with support for any resolution and sample rate. An MQA Core Decoder is built-in, and it can unfold the MQA stream from 44.1/48kHz to 88.2/96 kHz if you're the sort that prefers to stream instead of playing local files. Local file support is also superb, with native support for 32-bit/768kHz.

This wouldn't be a high-quality player without wide file-type support. This music player supports WAV, FLAC, OGG, MP3, MQA, DSD, SACD ISO, AIFF, AAC, M4a, APE, CUE, and WV. It also supports UPnP/DLNA if you prefer to stream files from your home servers.

Spotify is pretty much the defacto music streaming service across platforms, and that's because of its playlists. Spotify builds playlists from your interests that are often remarkable. Since everyone can create playlists, they are easily shared. You can also train the AI with prebuilt lists from friends if you're new to the service but want to hit the ground running.

Since Spotify is pretty much everywhere, you'll rarely have an issue where you can't access your music. The streaming may not offer audiophile quality, because of compressed streams on Spotify, but the tech is advancing fast. This means Spotify could replace some of the high-end players. Plus, you get access to tons of podcasts if you prefer to chill to some discussion when using Spotify.

Much like Spotify, auto-generated playlists are available, tuned to your interests, which is where music streaming apps shine. They learn as you listen to better recommend and alert you of exciting music, which is worlds better than crawling through online stores looking for what's new.

Poweramp is as powerful as its name suggests. Along with playing many local music file types, it lets you import HTTP streams from sites like Digitally Imported. It offers Android Auto, Chromecast, and Google Assistant support to bridge the hole left by Play Music's departure.

Bass heads can adjust the bass and treble from a user-friendly equalizer interface, and there's Direct Volume Control (DVC) for extended dynamic range and deeper bass. If you want to listen to music loudly from your phone, select the Speaker (Loud) setting in the equalizer to increase the gain and get loud results.

On Windows, foobar2000 is a mainstay. It's a freeware music player that holds up to the great, like Winamp. foobar2000 made the move to Android in 2016. While the Android version might not be celebrated as much as the PC app, it's an excellent interpretation, especially if you enjoy minimal designs.

Traditionalists love VLC for Android for its reliable simplicity and tons of utility. Those looking for something design-forward won't find much here. It's a bare-bones, no guff kind of music-playing experience. On the plus side, you can include video in your music playback.

VLC for Android is a full audio player with support for a ton of video and audio file types, including MKV, MP4, FLAC, and OGG. Media junkies can access internet streams, DVD ISOs, and disk shares. There's also support for multi-track audio and subtitles. One minor caveat is that the app's gesture control is sensitive.

If you're keen on playlists and all that matters in your music life is the order in which you listen to songs, try out AIMP. This app's primary focus is quick access to the lists you rely on to get you through the day. And though playlists exist on every other music player app featured here, the playlists you make in AIMP are embedded into the hamburger menu for super quick access.

There's a reason K.I.S.S. stands for "keep it simple, stupid." Keeping it simple reduces the chances of complications. And in the case of Simple Music Player, keeping it simple means focusing on local music playback.

Simple Music Player gives you all the features you need from a beefier music player, including playlists, an equalizer with a handful of presets, color customization, and a playback widget. There's also a handy search button for fetching what you're looking for, and any new audio you download is added to the queue.

Simple Music Player has no ads, and of the apps featured here, it asks for the fewest permissions. But there is no Google Cast integration, so you'll need another method to send music to a nearby smart speaker.

If you're looking for something that's genuinely free, Oto Music should be on your radar. This full-featured music player offers gapless playback, fade in/out, synched lyrics, a sleep time, a built-in equalizer, and a choice of five widgets. The whole thing clocks in at under 5MB for the entire app. It's small, easy to use, and supports a wide range of music codecs.

Pulsar Music Player is the sister app to Omnia Music Player, but its focus is on aesthetics. Choose Pulsar if you're looking for a capable music player that lets you match its color scheme to the rest of your interface. The Pulsar interface is the same Material Design look as Omnia, but with a ton of dark and light color presets to choose from, provided you pay the .99 for Pulsar Pro or subscribe through Google Play Pass. You can customize each theme, selecting colors for up to six interface elements.

Pulsar has a couple of other standard music playback features, including smart playlists and lyrics display, as well as essential Google Cast and Android Auto support. Unlocking the app also gets you a five-band equalizer controller, nine presets, a bass booster, and a reverb option.

Musicolet puts a little more effort into interface styling, though it can seem a bit busy at times, and it's not as customizable as other apps here. If what you like is easy-to-make queues, Musicolet sings like the sound of its name. They're easy to create. For those with massive music libraries, there's a batch editor for editing tags and album art. You can choose how to peruse those files with linear or hierarchical browsing.

There are plenty of awesome music players on Android. Whether you need something that streams from the cloud like Spotify, prefer local players like Poweramp, or need something free that gets the job done, like Simple Music Player, today's roundup has you covered. And now that you've had the chance to find the perfect music app for your needs, you'll want to pair your favorite tunes with the best wireless headphones to get the most out of your smartphone.

I used to have an iPod Touch. It was great. It did everything I needed and I was happy to have a separate music player and mobile phone. But one day, Apple updated the software and after that Smart Playlists (ones that automatically update) stopped working on the device. The only way I could get the playlists to update was to sync with the computer and the iTunes database. It was largely due to this oversight/bug that when development on the Touch stalled (and my eyes needed a bigger screen) that I decided to jump over to Android rather than have an iPhone.

All of this may sound quite insignificant to many people, but I need music to work. I cannot work in peace and quiet, so having a music player that does what I want is important to me. That I can use my phone rather than PC also means that I get much better sound as I can use my Bluetooth speaker.

Can someone recommend an Android music player that recognizes MP3Tag's Genre multi-tag format? For example: If an album that has a Genre tag like 'Classical\Opera' I want the album to show up in the Classical Genre list and the Opera Genre list.

Not, not really. You probably find this character in a column of the files list.

Have a look at the definition for "value" and you will probably see something

$meta_sep(genre,\\)

which means that the \\ are defined as separating characters but you could just as well take any other character. Foobar, I think, takes the semicolon as separator

The point I try to make: as there as so few players that actually the real multi-value fields, there are some players that interpret special characters in a single-value field as separator and display the items separated like that as individual items.

I know that e.g. WMP use the semicolon in ARTIST, GENRE, ALBUMARTIST and COMPOSER to create individual entries.

E.g. Stock; Aitken; Waterman would show an entry under A for Aitken, one under S for Stock and one under W for Waterman.

And all this without a multi-value field.

So it could be that there are other players around that do it like that.

And whatever the implementation would be: MP3tag can help you to set the right format.

General problem, i am unable to play music from the owncloud sync folder, because no music was found. When i take a look with a file explorer, the data is there.

I tried it with different music players wich are able to work with local files, but none see more than

I dont understand, when i download a mp3 from my owncloud instance, i can choose the download folder an play it from there, but i can only choose the top owncloud folder, but nothing within. Looks like my player is able to play local files, but cant read in the owncloud sync folder

After searching music apps who can access this files i see the only reason to make no update looks like to sell another music app who can do this (with money or ads or stealing my data). No functional stock music player on android, welcome back to the dark age of the waybearer. Thank you google that i have to pay to get access to my music+.

At this point, because i fdroid, i have to steal a player or go back to a native mp3player. ff782bc1db
