16th - PowerAMP Music Player - ANDROID -

PowerAMP music player is an interesting app I downloaded tonight. at the cost of $4.99 it is an extremely useful app for audiophiles like myself. Now you may ask, "Why would you pay $5 for a music player when your device comes with one for free?" The answer is just one word: Quality. The sound quality on PowerAMP is AMAZING. To a true music lover, quality is of the utmost importance.
PowerAMP also has a lot of music customization features such as equalizer, equalizer presets, extended volume increase, etc. It also plays music files that the default music player cannot play. I had been using the music app known as Mixzing for a month or so but this app is BRILLIANT. The interface is also extremely slick:



Left - Equalizer, volume control, etc                          Right - Music screen.


PowerAMP has two ways for the user to browse through their collection: "Folder mode" and "Library mode." Folder mode allows the user to look through the phone in a computer-like manner where he or she can actually see the song's folder names, and find songs manually on their device. Library mode is the traditional browsing feature found in most devices or apps (iPhone, iPod touch, other music apps.) The playlist features are also numerous. Not only are all the standard features available, folder playlists and shuffle lists are also possible.

EQ Presets





People spend hundreds of dollars upgrading headphones and other devices for improved audio quality. Sometimes what they don't realize is that improving the quality of the audio source can have significant benefits. The $4.99 I paid to get this type of upgrade in sound quality is more than worth it since getting the same experience through a hardware upgrade would cost MUCH more. 5/5!
