There are days when you just love to go punk, go pop, or electric when it comes to your music. You want to wiggle and jiggle and dance to the tune of your favorite song, or mix it with your favorite rap music and just pump up the volume. Here is a list of 7 best android music player apps:
Best Android Music Player Apps
Google Play Music
Google’s music player is made for those who want a simple, classic interface for music files. Your music can be stored in the cloud so you can listen to them anytime, anywhere, and on all of your Android devices. You can share them with your friends in Google+ and save your favorite songs for offline playback.
Equalizer
Equalizer is a cool app which might help enhance your stored music’s sound quality and to enable audio effects on your device. It has a bass booster, a virtualizer, 11 stock presets, and other sound enhancing functions that can help elevate your music listening experience on your Android device even further.
Pandora Internet Radio
Another best android music player is Pandora Internet Radio. Pandora streams music that you enjoy straight to your device. Just type in the name of an artist or a song you like, and the app will create a custom station that will play other tracks and recommendations that you might like. You can create up to 100 stations and switch them according to your mood and genre interests.
SoundCloud
SoundCloud lets you listen to music and share it with others. It allows you to discover and search for music files, hear new music by audio creators, and record your own. You can share the music you want on Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, and Tumblr. This is a great app for those who want to start their music careers online, and to those who want to listen to new music.
Shazam
Shazam lets you identify songs quickly, buy the tracks you want, stream the lyrics, watch their music videos, and many more. You can get information about artists and discover new music in the app’s charts. Online sharing to Facebook and other social media sites are also available so you can always brag about how cool or be discriminating your musical taste is.
Winamp
A highly popular music player, Winamp features wireless desktop sync capabilities that also imports items from your music library. You can also sync it to your Winamp installs on other systems, like your desktop computer. The app’s equalizer can be customized according to the preset you want, and you can save it as your default preset. Winamp also has a lock screen mode that easily lets you switch between songs even without unlocking your RingCentral business phone.
Music Volume EQ
Music Volume EQ is the ultimate equalizer you can get for your Android device. It has a media control volume, five-band equalizer, bass boost, virtualizer, and other sound enhancing capabilities. You can also get live readings of your current music volume level and an elaborate volume slider.

Rdio and Shazam are Must install Applications for Android users who loves Music. Recongising Music Just Goes easy as we can detect any Movie Soundtracks or Background Music just with a Tap
Akshay Jain
Hi Henry Conrad,
The list is really very good but I’m afraid you forgot the most famous one that is PowerAMP App. I myself use PowerAMP and to be very frank it has the best equalizer.
Thanks :)
David Croft
Hello,
I heard about this kind of words for music “Google Play Music, Rdio, Winamp and Equalizer”, but “Pandora Internet Radio, SoundCloud, Shazam, and Music Volume EQ” these words are new for me, so thank you for giving me some basic information about it.
I have little questioned that “Pandora Internet Radio” is that available only for Android based mobile phone?
I also like “SoundCloud” which we can share to other, it’s really amazing. I like these all music apps.
Salman Ahmad
The apps you listed are really great ! Butu there are some other apps that comes to the top of these apps.
Rajesh Namase
Can you list those apps, so we can improve the list?
Setiawan Aguz
Hi Rajesh, I think there is a new music player app developed by an XDA member. If I’m not mistaken, the app is called “Now Playing”. It features a sleek hollow interface and best of all, it doesn’t take too much resource. So you can save more battery life. VLC player is also a great app as it can take on any media files you throw at it. Hope it helps.
Ravi
Is there any alternative for Rdio? and any app which can show lyrics with song?
Nishant Tripathi
thats great list but… PowerAMP should be on the list…. though rdio and winamp are the best and must app..
never user pandora…. will be great if you can tell more abt it….:)

Google Play Music doesn’t work here yet, but I found Rdio and SoundCloud very helpful. At least, I won’t need to update my playlist every now and then.

Shazam is my favourite. When I first saw it, I thought it was like a magic trick, how it knew the song. I guess that’s why it’s called Shazam! but it’s high praise from me, seeing as I am a magician.

These apps are really awesome and are very much used in the android these days , but as there is a high competition in today’s android market so its very difficult for any apps developer to make a great foot hold in the battle of survival but these types posts really made a good impact over the users for better understandings and to choose the appropriate post for them. So over all a good post.
You haven’t mention about VLC ??
Nishant Srivastava
I am using Google Play music only from the list, but MK Player and VLC are also good for watching HD Videos on android phones, MK player works for both music and videos but its mainly built for Video purpose only, Thanks for sharing I will check the rest!

thanks bro for share this list of best music apps
Zoya Bennet
I wonder about the availability of android apps under different category. And yes Music also includes in it. There are number of apps that makes us to utilize our time effectively and efficiently. On that note this post has given out the best android apps.
jeremy schriver
You forgot about the greats like spotify and slacker. Both are more of paid apps anymore but can expand your playlists like no other. Also don’t forget to mention root apps like Apollo from Cyanogenmod and DPS Manager. Both are great for local media and controlling the EQ. Also good note to mention that with KitKat version 4.3+ a visual EQ has been built into Android Nativity, so no need for a 3rd part app to control the greatness of how your sound is amplified. Always note if it is an app on the play store it is outdated, just remember all APK’s that aren’t certified by Google will always be better than anything you can download legally case and point DSP manager over 4.3 stock EQ….
Ahana
I am using Google Music app and it is just awesome. It provides me with all the needed music according to my taste on the go. I just love it.
