Best Android FLAC Players

I was wondering around foobar's website a few weeks ago, and then I saw a little thing for foobar2000 on mobile devices. I was blown away. They're already 1/3 of their $300,000 goal. I absolutely love foobar on the PC and can't wait for it to be on Android. In the meantime, the three best FLAC players I've seen on Google Play are GoneMad Music Player (crossfades FLAC files, has best sound quality of the three (from what I've seen) and straight forward), Onkyo HF Player (ability to connect to Onkyo HiFi players, optimization for Onkyo headphones/earbuds, and an extremely customizable equalizer), and JetAudio (simple to the point, however, does not crossfade). One problem with these apps, to get away from a 2 week trial, or inaccessible features- you must pay anywhere from $2-$10. Does anyone else have an app they use to play FLAC and WAV files, that sounds terrific?

 

I use PlayerPro for everything (ogg/mp3/flac). I tried GoneMad but I hated the constant file directory glitches which the developer pretended didn't exist.

 

I've been using USB Audio Player Pro with an Ifi Nano. It sounds terrific! Plays DSD & can stream from network drive. It's not the prettiest interface.

I've been using Poweramp for years now. Tried others(JetAudio, Onkyo) but PA does the trick for me.

 

Could you explain them in detail? The only directory problem I have, is when I take out my microSD card, delete/add something to it. I only had to start the scanner again.

 

I use power amp, have loved it for about 5 years. Excited for foobar too as it's what I use on the pc.

 

I haven't used it in some time, but back when I had an Android phone with an SD card slot, eventually the app would fail to read the files on the SD card. The card was not corrupted either, because I used a PC card reader to check the files. Maybe it will work fine for you, I don't know. After getting frustrated with the apps quirks, I just stopped using it. I don't even think I have it loaded on my current phone (an Android with no SD card slot), even though I paid for the app.

 

Neutron Music Player. Spectacular sound. Only problem I have with it is that it wants to sort by "Album Artist" and not "Artist", and I never complete the "Album Artist" field on my tags.

 

Rockbox.

 

I'm in the foobar iOS beta, and I'd say whatever Android player you choose, you're going to switch to foobar when it's ready.

 

I use Winamp, works good for me.

 

I use PlayerPro. Move files to phone, the program does the rest. Sounds much better than my cars CD player. For this reason I only use my phone in the car.

 

I am using USB Audio Player on my Samsung Note3 and Dragonfly black as dac&amp trough Sennheiser HD598 cans.
The result is quite excelent.

 

I tested 4 or 5 Android players with usb otg support, and only the Onkyo player passed bit perfect audio. It is missing a few features however, mainly folder play support.

 

Neutron here too, and what is a problem for you it's the right feature for me!

 

Wouldn't it just revert to the artist tag if the album artist is blank? Like you, I prefer the album artist sorting.

 

Poweramp is the most solid music app I've found on android. Mono sum is important!

 

It does use the Artist as Album Artist, so no...

 

A second shout out for Onkyo. I rooted my Android phone, installed Viper4HIFI, and then the Onkyo player. In comparison to Neutron which I loved for it's flexibility, the Onkyo is a more detailed player musically. It just reveals more of the music.

As to cost, I haven't paid anything yet as I don't have a need yet for DSD output. But when I do I would pay for it in a second.

 

I've tried a few and Gonemad was definitely the best in nearly all respects

 

I'm currently using Neutron Player myself. Love the audiophile sound setting however there are a couple albums that are frustrating me with the way duplicate ghost files keep appearing and when I try to get rid of one the ghost files, it destroys the sequence as if the entire track has disappeared from the Library. In this cast atm is King Crimson's Three of a Perfect Pair which should be 9 tracks now ends up being tripled if not more to 81 tracks!!!! Need to sort it out.

Now currently testing out JetAudio as per somebody's recommendation.

 

USB Audio Player Pro and Foobar2000 Mobile.

 

Neutron on my android phone is the only player I've been entirely convinced by. In the last three months even more fully user customisable DSP effects have been added. It now offers the following (and this just scratches the surface): Equaliser with up to 30 customisable parametric bands, Crossfeed with three initial presets that can be customised anyway you want, Speaker Time Alignment designed for up to ten individual speakers with three possible settings for each. Three Compressor settings. Tempo and Pitch adjustment (incl. customisable auto pitch correction), and finally three individualisable Surround sound settings.
Simply mind-blowing sound even without any DSP effects turned on aswell.

 

I really wouldn't bother, it can't match Neutron's customisable versatility. That file problem is a small price to pay, isn't it?

 

I switched to Foobar2000 for two months, pitting it against USB Audio player Pro. Plusses for Foobar are its speed when searching through UPNP/DLNA media servers' folders and Meier Crossfeed. Plus for USBAPP is Tidal integration. Eventually, Neutron Music Player's newest updates won me over. I'll keep checking all three out. What really matters to me is being able to tweak sound settings frequently combined with my media library being a completely seamless set of data across all types of sources (Three external Drives, Internal drive of my PC and the SD card of my phone) only Neutron collects and merges multiple sources into 1 huge 3TB library.
