1. Rocket Music Player

Rocket Music Player aims to be a complete music player for both advanced and basic use. It has a 5-band equalizer, the ability to fade in and out when playing and stopping, dynamic Live List playlists as well as a feature similar to “Up Next” in Apple Music. Rocket also works with iSyncr, which will allow you to sync podcast bookmarks, playlists and play counts to Apple Music.

Rocket Music Player’s Premium upgrade adds a 10-band equalizer, support for lossless audio formats (such as FLAC, APE, WavPack), gapless playback and ReplayGain, etc.

2. AIMP

AIMP is perfect for those who want a player that deals with the correct treatment of music files. With this music player app, you’ll get all the tools necessary to use your music files in every way necessary. You can customize everything so taht it works right for you.

It supports AAC, APE, DFF, M4A, MP3, MP4, WEBM, and several others. You can also use it with Android Auto, CUE Sheets, and AudioTrack. Some are even saying that this is the spiritual successor of Winamp.

3. BlackPlayer EX Music Player

Have you ever listened to a music player and found yourself being distracted by the many ads? That’s not going to happen with BlackPlayer EX. There are no ads that pop up, in fact this app is completely ad free!

It also includes a ton of extra features in addition to the great apps we already have: from supporting several languages to equalizer presets, all of them are there for you. You get tons of control for your phone with customizations such as changing how tracks appear on your screen or what types of files it supports.

4. doubleTwist Music & Podcast Player

Sleek, seamless and functional. Just like a good carpenter uses every last piece of board from the lumberyard- so does doubleTwist Player: it plays music, handles podcasts, and syncs with iTunes playlists – an all in one app without having to jump between different apps. AirSync is optional for mirroring your Android screen or external storage devices on separate mobile screens (i.e., share your phone’s playlist library while you use your tablet).

With AirPlay capability, DLNA media server compatibility, and customizable widgets, DoubleTwist doesn’t really redefine the wheel, but it does manage to make everything just a little more efficient than before.

5. MediaMonkey

MediaMonkey is a multi-platform music manager which helps you to organize, upload and play your large media libraries including songs, podcasts and videos. The equalizer allows for adjustments in specific frequency ranges of audio such as bass boosters or treble increases so that everything sounds crisply. It offers volume leveling (replay gain) features that enable smoother listening experiences without constantly adjusting the volume level until it’s too high–or too low during playback.

MediaMonkey Pro allows for syncing WiFi-connected devices, sharing through UPnP/DLNA, advanced home screen customization, multiple file management, and unlimited wireless syncronization.

6. Musicolet Music Player

Musicolet is the only music player in the Android market that allows you to create up to 20 different queues while a queue is currently playing. Although the UI could still be improved by a lot, it makes up for it through the unique features it has.

One of the things that would make you happy with Musicolet is that it works perfectly fine offline. No internet necessary. It doesn’t have ads, you can set it to sleep mode based on the number of songs you want it to play, backup your data, embed lyrics, and many more.

7. Phonograph Music Player

Phonograph has a sleek and minimalistic UI without any overblown or complicated menus so that you can enjoy it your music as it is. So if you are looking for simplicity, this might just be what you need. Furthermore, Phonograph will download information about your various artists automatically, as it integrates with Last.fm quite well.

Phonograph is a perfect replacement for Google Play Music. It’s easy to organize music by artist, then by chronologically by album, which is how many people like to do it. The control panel in the notifications menu is easy to use. Video playback support is one favorite too.

8. PlayerPro Music Player

“PlayerPro is a sleek and powerful player for Android devices. It’s beautiful interface sets the tone for an advanced music experience. Use its flexible audio configuration to tailor your sound in a number of ways. There are also free plugins available to improve user experience. PlayerPro Music Player makes perfect sense: it has everything you need, and nothing you don’t. “

PlayerPro has advanced sorting (by album, artist, genre, composer, etc.), compatible with Android Auto and Chromecast-enabled devices, layouts in grit or list views, advanced tagging, and lyrics editing.

9. Poweramp Music Player

Poweramp’s newest version comes equipped with a new audio engine, support for hi-res output on supported devices, new DSPs and effects, internal 64bit processing and more.

I stopped using Pulsar music player (2years if usage) as it had issues with FLAC files. Fast forwarding was the problem. Now I’m using Pi Music player (1year) which not listed here. It’s colorful and has all the bells and whistles as in Poweramp.

For samsung users, Samsung Music is the best app with minimalistic and clean UI. I’ve been using this from the past year and the UI has improved drastically. So I would really suggest you to give it a try.
