Top 5 Music Players for Android

OK. Let’s be honest. None of us love the stock music app that our dear manufacturer has given us with our Android smartphone. So well all look for replacement of stock music app by downloading some wonderful app from Android Market. But the list over there is huge and confusing. I have tried my best to carry on my Top 5 series further and picked some wonderful music apps that are best for any android smartphone. So let’s read through the list:


1. Winamp: It is one of the highly rated and downloaded music player apps in android market. You can also manage and sync your media files wirelessly from your MAC or PC if you have winamp desktop software installed. I have used it for a long time and I always preferred keeping it as the default music player in my android smartphone. It has a Pro/ Paid version too which unlocks some nice features like 10-band graphic equalizer, option to customize home screen, enables browsing by folder, etc. It also removes ads. Well if in case you don’t wanna spend money on paid version, trust me free version is too good and ads are not irritating.

Best Features: Free wireless syncing, SHOUTcast Radio stations, Easy UI, Playlist shortcuts, Widget Player, Lock Screen Player, etc.

2. Poweramp Music Player: Another superb reason for replacing stock music app. Poweramp is very simple and loaded with superb features. You will experience a superb sound quality especially with your headphones. It has wide range of preset equalizers. It gives you opportunity for high level of customization through settings. It covers huge number of audio formats which can’t be played otherwise with the stock app. It has a free trial version which has got all the features unlocked but it’s valid only for 15 days after that you need to buy the full version. This app is definitely worth the price.

3. PlayerPro Music Player: One of the largest download music player app from android market. It has got huge features to make this app highly customizable as your requirement.

4. Neutron Music Player: It has unique design and its UI is fabulous. It’s 32 bit audio decoding ability makes it different from others. It is quite a new music player in android market but getting a lot of attention due to its sophisticated UI. It gives superb quality if you are connected to headset or external speaker.

5. UberMusic: Another great app by developer Federico Carnales who designed Launcher Pro homescreen replacement app. The best part of this app is, it’s very small in size so it doesn’t consume a lot of RAM while it’s in action. The provide nice skins app too which you can download from market by typing UberMusic Skin and it changes the entire look of the app. Unfortunately there isn’t any trial version of this app but you can always check out reviews before buying.
