The best audio player for "Android". Review of the best audio players for Android

The first phone that could play mp3, appeared on the market in 2000. Since then, mobile devices have stepped far ahead. Today, many use a smartphone as a portable audio player. However, soft, built-in by default, can not perform its task 100%, so users and think about what to install an audio player, which is better.

PlayerPro

This player is quite popular and has many functions. There are several tabs in the application:

• "Albums";
• "Performers";
• "Playlists";
• "Genres";
• "Tracks."

Any tab can be displayed as a list or as a grid. However, setting any of them does not affect the display of others. During playback, the player automatically downloads the missing covers for music albums, and the cover can be selected independently.

For any song, this free audio player for "Android" can search for its text, which can be saved for viewing in the future without connecting to the worldwide network. The tag editor works as it should, you can enter all the information that the format supports. The only exception is to add a cover to the song, it will not work in the ID tag.

Settings provide the user with great opportunities, we describe the most basic.

• Selecting directories to search for music and limiting the player to work only in them.
• Scrobbling last.fm.
• Enable and configure the functions of the lock screen.
• Hiding unnecessary tabs.
• Enabling the rewind of tracks by shaking the device (only if the phone has an accelerometer).
• The choice of skins that can be downloaded from the Internet.

Sound in PlayerPro

If we talk about the sound configuration in this player for Android, the audio player can give odds to many. For the player can be installed DSP Pack, which will add an equalizer with ten bands and a bass amplifier. Among other things, you should note the possibility of changing the length of the crossfade, the normalizer of volume and (which is rarely seen in players for mobile devices) change the balance of channels.

Preamplification can operate at levels from -15 to +15Db. If the device does not have enough power to play audio without delay, settings that allow you to change the playback priority and the size of the audio buffer will help.

As additional functions, PlayerPro has a video player in its set, but it should not be considered too seriously, it is not basic, and therefore made for a tick.

JetAudio

Reading this title, someone will exclaim: "This is a music player for Windows 7!". That's right, the player earned its popularity on Windows, for which it was originally developed. Now it can be used on a mobile OS. The main advantage of this player for any platform is considered a huge number of sound settings, but the description is best to begin with the features of the interface.

After enabling it, you can switch over tabs that are similar to the PlayerPro tabs. It can not be said that JetAudio is the best audio player for "Android". Navigation is not enough smoothness, with every new transition you have to wait a few seconds. If the flipping is done frequently and quickly, the device will hang for a while, giving JetAudio all its resources.

The tag editor allows you to change all the information and even sew your cover in the track ID. If you do not have a cover, the player will find the right one. Also, he can perform a clip search on the YouTube site.

For scrobbling, you will need to install an additional application from the Android repository. During playback, a simple svayp can send out information about what you are listening to, on Facebook or Twitter. If this is unnecessary, the function can be disabled in the settings. The control of tracks with shaking is organized approximately the same as in PlayerPro, but JetAudio has settings for single and double shakes.

Sound in JetAudio

It's time to talk about what the player does best - about the sound. In addition to the fact that the player already provides the user with high-quality sound, it offers you the choice of additional effects and settings. X-Wide extends the stereo and amplifies the low frequencies. The reverb adds an effect of room and volume. Equalizer provides the user with 32 presets and the ability to make manual settings. The free version will provide an equalizer with only 10 bands, but if you share with the developers hard-earned money, their number of bands will increase to 20, and new effects will also be added. PREAMP can work at levels from -10 to +10 Db.

PowerAMP

Many will say that PowerAMP is the best audio player for android. The interface is made in a dark style and very convenient. After the first launch, your device will be scanned completely for audio files. This is not a very rational solution for developers, because often the phone's ring files, sounds from the game cache fall into the general library, but the settings allow you to limit the library to several directories.

In the library you can see all your music, while choosing sorting by genre, album, artist, and, importantly, by folders. The last sorting mode can be applied not in all audio players, it is very convenient if the tags in the tracks are not filled.

There is nothing superfluous on the playback screen. Buttons are made in such a way that it is convenient for them to get a finger. Tracks can not just switch left and right, but also skip the whole album at once. Covers are downloaded from the Internet, and if the wrong one is downloaded, you can select the desired image by tapping on the center of the screen for a long time. The covers are downloaded from Google, so they do not always match the album.

The PowerAMP screen shows all the same buttons as when playing back, it's very convenient - no need to get used to the new arrangement of the elements. The tag editor has a gentlemanly set of features. It is important to note that the program correctly reads Russian tags in all encodings, and not all audio players for "Android" in Russian are taught it. Most often, developers are limited only to the application localization.

Sound in PowerAMP

Equalizer player has in its set of 16 presets and 10 bands. You can turn on the setting so that a particular preset is turned on during song or album playback. The effects are limited to amplification of high and low frequencies, stereo widening and changing the channel balance. It should be said that without additional settings the player provides the user with high-quality sound.

Many people think that PowerAMP is the best audio player for Android, but you will have to accept that the application will only work for two weeks, then you will have to pay for its further use if you like it. Some users will take it to the disadvantages.

DeaDBeeF Player

With this audio player, users of * nix-systems are probably familiar. It supports all popular formats and many additional ones: ogg, mp3, aac / mp4, ape, flac, wav, wv, mod, mpc, tta,, s3m, sidnsf. However, their full support will appear in the application, if for him to download a separate addition. This choice was made by the author so that the application could be distributed under a free software license. The free version was not without the additional one, which can be bought for less than a dollar. No additional functionality in the Pro-version was noticed, it just turned off advertising. However, there is not much advertising in the free program.

The interface is made without any frills - simplicity and conciseness, which makes it look like a music player for Windows 7 - foobar2000. It is very important that DeaDBeeF Player correctly reads Russian file names and tags.

Sound in DeaDBeeF Player

To the obvious advantages of the player can be attributed an equalizer with ten bands, stable operation on weak devices, the ability to listen to Internet radio stations, scrobbling.

DeaDBeeF Player - not the best audio player for "Android." Unfortunately, there are applications and drawbacks. It almost always freezes or crashes, if you frequently change the orientation of the screen. Among other things, the equalizer slightly degrades the sound quality.

It should be understood that the development of this player for mobile devices is not so long ago, and regular updates improve overall stability and add new features.

AndLess

If you like listening to music in lossless, andLess will be the best choice. The program is specially made for listening to heavy files of formats APE / FLAC / WV / MPC / WV / M4A.

The volume of it is not great at all, there is a built-Russification, besides it is distributed completely free of charge. Anyone who appreciates a small number of settings in which you can get confused, but simplicity, will say that andLess is the best free audio player for "Android." In addition to playing tracks, the program can create playlists.

As noted earlier, the application can play lossless audio files, but it also loses those that are directly supported by the phone.

It should be noted that andLess has full support for CUE, thereby automatically breaking a large file in which the entire album is recorded, on tracks. At the same time opening an audio file of a few hundred megabytes in size is performed in a matter of seconds. The program is perfect for users who appreciate the basic functions of the player, but do not pay attention to various additions and effects.

Instead of concluding

It is impossible to imagine mankind without music, this kind of art stretches from the time of the first person and throughout history acquires new facets. Yesterday it was still impossible to imagine that music can be listened to far from concert halls, and today everyone has the opportunity to include his favorite composition at any available time with the help of a phone or tablet.

Do not forget that the player is only one side of the coin, much more important in the quality of sound is played by equipment that plays a melody. The player can also be called a cataloguer, which adds convenience.
