Screenshots: Five Android apps for music lovers

Introduction

Audiophiles are a special kind of particular. They look for\r\nonly the best in breed to deliver the sounds to their heart and soul in ways\r\nothers will never recognize or appreciate. If that’s you, the idea of listening\r\nto your favorite pieces of music on a mobile device is laughable. However, you\r\nshouldn’t be so quick to shrug off the platform categorically. There are apps\r\navailable that can at least soothe your music needs while on the go.

I took a look at apps for audiophiles on the Google Play\r\nStore and found five I think are worthy of your ears.

JetAudio Music Player+EQ

If you’re looking for one of the finest audio players for the\r\nAndroid ecosystem, you can’t go wrong with JetAudio Music Player+EQ. There is a free and\r\na pro version of this app and you may as well skip ahead and purchase the pro version (it’ll set you back $3.99 USD).\r\nThe pro version not only gets rid of the ads, but it gains the addition of a 20\r\nband EQ (instead of the 10 band on the free version), a tag editor, FF/RW\r\ninterval adjust, expanded notifications, and much more.

JetAudio Music Player+EQ

JetAudio is definitely the Android audio player for\r\naudiophiles. It supports .wav, .mp3, .ogg, .flac, .m4a, .mpc, .tta, .wv, .ape,\r\n.mod, .spx, .wma, and more. You’ll also find in-app purchases for more sound\r\neffects, UI unlocker, and Pebble smartwatch integration.

Neutron Music Player

If you want a player with tons of options, Neutron Music Player should do the trick. The player costs $5.99 on the Google\r\nPlay Store, but there’s an eval version you can check out before making\r\nthe big purchase. What do you get for your $5.99? Plenty. A 32/64 bit rendering\r\nengine, which will deliver to your ears the highest quality sound you can get\r\non a mobile app. And because this app is developed specifically for\r\naudiophiles, numerous options are available. You’ll have to go through the\r\nsettings window and scroll through the configurations to see for yourself just\r\nhow much flexibility Neutron offers.

PlayerPro

One of the most user-friendly interfaces of all the\r\naudiophile-friendly players belongs to PlayerPro. The standard version runs $4.95\r\nUSD, but there’s an trial version you can try for free. Besides\r\nthe outstanding interface, PlayerPro offers a simple EQ (expandable with the PlayerPro DSP pack), mixable audio effects,\r\ntagging, music stats, smart playlists, lockscreen widgets, and much, much more.

AIMP

With AIMP you can downmix multichannel audio to stereo or\r\nmono and even register a file playing back as a ringtone. AIMP also supports playback\r\nfrom SD card, allows you to import files with a handy filtering mode, and even\r\ndelete files from storage from within the app itself.

Poweramp

Poweramp offers a great UI that allows you to\r\nchange tracks with a left or right swipe and change playlists with an up or\r\ndown swipe. Beyond the UI, you’ll get support for all the common audio file\r\nformats.
