Music Players for Android that Every Music Fan Should Know

android
Music players are undoubtedly one of the most important apps on any mobile phone. They help ensure you can get lost in your chosen sounds as you go about your daily activities. With music, everything seems a little better, from workouts to gaming. These days, poker games on PlayStation feature incredible music, the soundtracks on PayPal casinos online are awesome too. This underlines an understanding of the importance of music on the part of these companies. It is funny that Android phones, so music focused, don’t come with better music players.

Nothing beats being able to put together your choice selection of music. Android users do not automatically enjoy this privilege as the built-in music player is rather bare. Many users, therefore, have to rely on other music apps. In this piece we will take a look at some of the best music players on Android; the ones you need to know about as a music fan.

Shuttle Music Player
This is a premium music player for Android. It is a sleek app with a neat interface that is arguably the most intuitive on this list. The interface is supported by high-value performance as well. It has a very rich feature list that includes lyrics support, gapless playback, sleep timer, and a 6-band equalizer with bass boost.

Poweramp Music Player
If you are looking for a feature-rich music player on Android, this has to be top on your list. It has an extensive list of features and sports a warm interface. Some of its most notable features include gapless playback, crossfade, stereo expansion, theme support, a 10-band optimized graphical equalizer and plenty of other options.. This is the music player of choice if you are looking for a customisable player.

DoubleTwist Music Player
This is one of the most popular music players in the Play Store, and for good reasons too. It offers syncing abilities on iTunes and supports podcast management. It also has a beautiful, easy-to-use and intuitive interface. If you want something different from your local library, navigate to the music subscription service on the app known as Magic Radio.

Equalizer + mp3 player
This music player features a vintage interface. As the name suggests, it is heavily focused on the equalizer as it doubles as a music player and a frequency equalizer. The app features a 5-band equalizer with 10 pre-sets and a powerful bass amplifier. Users can set their own preferences. Some of the other options of the app include background player mode, visualizer window, media bass volume control, professional sound rendering, contextual music search and plenty of other options to keep you music enthusiasts entranced.

Player Pro
This is a hybrid music player that offers video playback as well. It comfortably caters for all your music and video needs through its light interface. The PlayerPro music player comes with a sizeable number of codecs with some of its features including a 10 band graphical equalizer, sleep timer, gestures, mixable audio effects, tag editing, and skin support.

planetdamage.com: hard labour with the lovely paris

Hello. I am Damage, gonzo journalist, catalyst and an explorer of weird and futurologistic. A month ago I knew how to time travel. Now, only a few hours ago, to my best knowledge, I woke up while being abducted by space aliens and remarkably under the drills. It gives me great satisfaction, erection and self-confidence to conclude that ambassadors of superior civilizations warp time and space just to drill me. And I also think this was also the equivalent of a galactic job interview. Because we finished the new issue of The Dose magazine. About Paris. And you will buy this magazine. Because all the money I will hoard up from sales will go into new pancreas and a one-way ticket to Singapore. But more about this after the embed and the jump.

THE DOSE magazine - Issue 3 (Paris) TEASER

The Dose. For those who're late for class, it started as a free PDF mag targeting one city per issue to showcase its weird underdog talents: musicians, artists, designers with a focus on music, more music and great eyecandy. I had friends helping me out but it was mostly a solo project and it was a great thing to do, doing a pilot on Budapest and then two more issues, on Tokyo and London. Then three years passed. And we decided to go back to the original plan we liked, I quit being a full-time IT journalist and after long months of working in our free time, here's the Paris issue. If you were following up on what I did, I promised so many times that this will come that you probably didn't believe me. But it's here now.

Yes. The Paris issue. It has features on French steampunk, cyberpunk, netlabels (amazing stuff ranging from mad orgy freejazz to pumping warehouse techno), parkour, psytrance (a great comparison of chocolate and goa!) and fashion. And a great piece of infographics about French bands we loved. Features on LVA, brain hacking and Chinese underground music. Interviews with Clélia Altaïr, Punish Yourself, Lukas Zpira, Die Puppe, Foretaste, Miss Kittin, Scan X, the guys at Dejobaan Games and RJDJ, Nohno / Kibuka, Blue Stahli, Shiv-R and Black Nail Cabaret. And e-readers. And our recommendations for 2010. And lots of reviews.

So spread the news, enjoy the show, buy our mag, support the artists, don't steal this mag if you don't exactly need to, send us feedback and contact us if you think you could help us rock more. And here are a few music videos from these previous artists you gonna love!


karina van heck: blood music

According to Gizmowatch, Karina van Heck transforms the sound of blood flowing through your veins, among other noises, into beats, that she later mixes together. Apparently this project is actually a "a criticism of the technologies that have been lately employed to view the workings of the body on the inside." Sure, we just think it's cool to be your own ipod. (via io9)


untouched, the happy hardcore remixes

It's content stop week. It means I have a desk cluttered with stimulants so much that by now it has an identity and an IP-address on its own and I am also shouting at people for coffee, aberrant sexual behaviour or a miracle to somehow mash in four more work hours into a day. Until any of you get scared enough to succumb to my charmingly devilish commands, here are two happy hardcore remixes of The Veronicas' Untouched, a healthy black cumstain of a track so trashy you feel bad for not listening to it again.


csak a zene: egy hangos kiállítás képei mellé (igen, majdnem írtam egy könyvet)

Damage, te írtál egy könyvet, hangzik el az irodában egy fáradt délután, amikor az egész jobb kezem egy gigantikus, szerves kávéscsuporrá változik és az ajtó előtt lesem, hogy a tetoválószalonból kisomfordáló fiatalok közül kit tudok egy bolával leteríteni, minden nap más harcnemet gyakorlunk. Dehogy írtam, mondom, meg amúgy is kurvanehéz egy kávéscsupor szélével millipontosan gépelni, de csak sikerül. Majdnem írtam, aztán elfeledkeztem róla, valahogy így kell lottót is nyerni meg Austin Osman Spare is így indítja elképzeléseit a sigil magickről, elvégre az írás is valahol varázslás meg az is, hogy egy órányi színuszhullámhallgatás után nem zselés púder jön ki a füleimen, de erről majd valahol később. Még 2009-ben keres meg Géczi "gitárral és egy üveg jó borral bármit elérek" Zoltán, hogy zenei lexikont ír de inkább szerkeszt, megírom-e neki a new wave fejezetet, nyilván megírom Cure-ostul, Neue Deutsche Welléstül, posztpunkostul, aztán megfeledkezek róla, a Magyar Posta a promópéldányokat elnyeli, ahogyan annyi minden mást is, a legszebb anno az volt, amikor egy amerikai kiadó óriási pakkjából kivették az illetékesek a CD-ket, de érezték, hogy az aláírt plakátokhoz erős érzelmi szál fűződhet, azt nem bántották. Szóval megfeledkezek, Gyí mondja az irodában, hogy háhá, könyv, én meg azon, hogy háhá, ez pont olyan, mint a festmények mellé tűzött feliratok, úgyis a képeket nézed meg, a feliratok gyorsan elkorhadnak és egyébként sem vagy már fiatal, ha azokat olvasgatod. Coffeetable könyvről van szó, amihez üvegezett kávézóasztalt veszel, hogy alatta látszódjon a szilikonról ívben visszacsillanó baszófény, a photoxolt pina meg ez a könyv, lényegi tartalom van benne, rengeteg képpel, hogy effektíve sokáig tartsd a kezedben, de szó mi szó, furcsa papírzenei lexikont a kezedben tartani 2010-ben, főként, hogy még ez a mondat is milyen hosszú. Jól és erős kézzel megszerkesztett könyvről van szó amúgy, reggaetől, soultól meg funktól bluegrassen és elektrón keresztül a rockig meg a new wave-ig, itt szeretném ezt a darabot annak a HVG printes ex-kollégának ajánlani, aki nem átallott munkaidő után felhívni és közölni velem, hogy a hard rock meg a rock'n'roll ugyanaz, azután jó egy hétig sírtam, amikor felállt. A bookline-nál most éppen leértékelve, aki akar családi műveltséget alapozni, az rendelje, én gyűrök a saját könyvre most már, ha az új Dose elkészül, és ha kiadják, annál is megírom, hogy ej de furcsa 2010-ben papírkönyvet olvasni, az iróniát matekozza ki magának mindenki azzal a tologatós japán abakusszal, a színuszhullámtól nem tudom abbahagyni az írást, minden helyes lányt üdvözlök így fél kettőkor, miközben hangosan éneklem a Veil Veil Vanish szomorúindiejét, úgyis ömlik most a gáz az utcában mindenhonnan, majd megmondom a szomszédnak, hogy hallucinált (és el fogja hinni) és most keresztülteszek valami síkosat és hegyeset a fejemen, hogy abbahagyjam, sziasztok.

the damage report 002: szubmisszív lányhangok, tavasz van

Tavasz van. Tudom, mert végre centipontosan lőhetem be a kosárméreteket a romkocsmákban, a város felett enyhén orrfacsaróan terjeng a márciusi dugás fülledt, meleg szaga, a lányokból elmúlik a savanyúság és háztetőig csap a vigyorkeltő albuminbűz, ahol okkult figurákkal díszített netbookkal ülök és még egy jó ideig azt firtatom, hogy miért örülnék jobban egy féltucatnyi hőkövető marokkőnek, mint egy két és fél kilométerig is gond nélkül elhordó McMillan TAC-50-nek, aztán elrángatnak inni, én meg hagyom magam, de ezt majd beküldöm a traumatológiáról. Most zenélek inkább, fejben.

A márciusi Mondo magazin gonzója a slágeripar jövőjéről, Hatsune Mikuról és társairól, virtuális énekesekről meg az autotune-pluginekről. Ugyan nem teljesen könnyen és gyorsan fogyasztható, de rózsaszín designba helyezték, úgyhogy már ezért megéri elolvasni.

atari teenage riot is back!

2010 is the year of revivals, I tell you. The angriest of the digital hardcore prophets, Atari Teenage Riot is back for a kick in the face - there's a one-off show going down on the 12th of May in Electric Ballroom - and this time they have a fourth member. New Yorker MC CX Kidtronik (having previously worked with Nine Inch Nails and Saul Williams) is on stage with the raw energy chaos was made out of and they've already recorded a new single called Activate. (Electronicbeats reports there's a free remix of Digital Hardcore by dubstephead The Builder.) Below is the Soundcloud embed for Activate. (And, umh, we've found something called the 21 sauces of inspiration for Alec Empire?)

Atari Teenage Riot - "Activate!"  by  Alec Empire

According to Alec Empire's website, Atari Teenage Riot have several tour dates lined up for Europe this summer. NME reports that on May 17, they'll release the new single "Reactivate" on their own Digital Hardcore label. It may very well have some screaming on it. (via pitchfork)


2009, missing post #20: veqtor's new album

You must surely remember Veqtor from the London edition of The Dose and his weird, distorted ways of cochlear communication, halfway between jazz thinking, glitch and 8-bit tunes. Now he's got his new album, Parsuitel Orbitelum out for free download out on his label, OXO Unlimited and if you want to say goodbye to 2009 with insane chiptunes (Preprocessor is my fave but the beginning AG Racing is not halfbad for an 8-bit GTA cover song, either!), download the whole pack! I'd say Definite is the best-rolling song of all and anything's that's gone acidways needs some work on it, let those tracks be more strict, the basslines more tense, the wickedness is there already. Oh and those missing The Dose - we're there to promise you lovely little things in 2010. If we get there. (Below, a collaboration of Veqtor and Mathtiiaas Rosén, using a crappy cellphone, upsampled using geniune fractals, then run through max/msp+jitter patch. Stock footage from archive.org has been run through an atari2600 emulator being data-bent and repositioning the footage. Still rocking stuff, though!)


planetdamage.com's best music finds of 2009

2009best

2009 zenei aranymazsolái, részeg éjszaka maradványa ez a töredék is, az ötlet persze tökéletes, miket kezdtünk el hallgatni idén, amik amúgy nem is annyira új anyagok már - földönkívüli civilizációk bódult isteneitől poszt-grunge szennydívákig, hipnotikus brit space-technótól dzsunkatempóra himbálózó dubstepig visz a lista, videoklipekkel megszórva. Az év legjobb anyagai később jönnek, ha egyáltalán.
To all of you who speak English, just click this. Inside: a few bands I came to love in 2009 from Goth to space techno, sprinkled with lots of videos and MySpace links. If the magical harmony of Hungarian vowels do not instantly bestow you the meaning, fear not.
