<\/strong><\/p>\n

While the stock music player in Android OS <\/strong>is okay for casual listeners, audiophiles will always want more options<\/strong> and customization<\/strong> when it comes to their music libraries.\u00a0 Here are my top five Android Music Apps <\/strong>that offer more features and functionality, like video playback:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

doubleTwist<\/a><\/strong> is among the most popular music players for new Android users.\u00a0 Expanded beyond just audio, it also supports radio<\/strong> and video<\/strong>.\u00a0 By using the free doubleTwist app<\/a> through PC<\/strong> or Mac<\/strong>, the program can find all the music on your system for easy importing through wired or wireless connections through doubleTwist AirSync<\/a>.\u00a0 The app also supports music and video podcasts allowing for even more diverse content.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Winamp for Android<\/a><\/strong> is also another recognizable name when it comes to music players.\u00a0 Along side of having many of the same options as the desktop version, the ability to sync wired or wireless<\/strong> is an added bonus for those who want to unify their mobile and home libraries.\u00a0 Like its desktop brethren, Winamp for Android supports iTunes library and playlist importing and access to over 45,000 SHOUTcast internet radio stations.\u00a0 Essentially Winamp for Android<\/a> is a successful port.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Zimly<\/a><\/strong> was an early Android music app that focused on simplicity.\u00a0 Another app that includes a video player, its all-in-one player is a good alternative to the stock player that come with the Android OS.\u00a0 Zimly<\/a> is consistently being updated, so while it may be lagging behind other music players in advanced features; it is a good place to start with music apps.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the most frustrating features of many music apps is limited format support.\u00a0 Fortunately, PowerAMP<\/a><\/strong> solves this problem with support of audio codecs that most ardent music fans have forgotten.\u00a0 PowerAMP<\/a> supports the usual mp3 and mp4 formats, but expands by adding ogg, ape, and even flac formats which are also supported by the ten band graphic equalizer.\u00a0 Unlike other music apps, PowerAMP<\/a> does cost money for the full app.\u00a0 The free version allows for a fifteen day trial.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another paid app is PlayerPro Music Playe<\/strong>r<\/a>.\u00a0 Like doubleTwist<\/a>, PlayerPro Music Player<\/a> adds a video browser and player unifying content on the handset.\u00a0\u00a0 The app allows for a large amount of UI customization including different skins and layout.\u00a0 Added also are the ability to read reviews and the inclusion of scrobblers like Last.fm.\u00a0 PlayerPro Music Player<\/a> also has a five day trial to explore many of the functions.<\/p>\n

Among all the Android music apps, there isn’t a true winner.\u00a0 Each app has separate distinct functions.\u00a0 The free apps are where most users might turn, but the hardcore audiophile might turn towards the paid apps, at least for more audio codec support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
