With no ads or sneaky in-app purchases and no requirement to connect to the Internet, Musicolet is one of the most honest music player apps for Android. But for the low price of $5 you get the kind of features and quality you’ll struggle to find for free. GoneMAD is a premium music player that comes with a 14-day free trial version. The app has recently gone through a sleek UI overhaul, but if you prefer to keep things traditional, you can revert back to the old UI (or just tweak things to your liking thanks to the solid array of customization options). The player has a ton of themes to play around with and support for endless audio formats as well as Chromecast support. While many apps use a stock engine, GoneMAD is one of the few apps that has its own, and it sounds great. One of the overlooked aspects of some of the best Android music player apps is the quality of their audio engine. There’s not too much flexibility in the no-nonsense dark interface, yet there’s a ton of tweaking when it comes to actual audio playback with a robust mixer-like equalizer with 21 presets and a whole bunch of DSPs, including surround sound, dithering, pitch, and tempo correction and crossfeed (optimized for headphones).Įxpected features like gapless playback, custom playlists and search options by genre, artist and so on are all accounted for. It has a unique audio engine which can play back almost all audio formats – including FLAC – in its bespoke 32-bit/64-bit engine. It’s not the cheapest music player app out there at $6, but a five-day evaluation version means you can give Neutron a good go before committing to the purchase. Let the music roll! Here are the best music player apps for Android.
