Android: the 5 best music players
Finding the best music players for Android devices is not easy. We have relieved you of the work and are going to introduce you to the five best.
The music player Poweramp - a hit in the playstore
Poweramp offers the best and most well-known alternative for the standard player. Download the test version of the app for free and enjoy the benefits of the application.
- The menu navigation is self-explanatory and very easy. In addition, the music player comes with a nice surface.
- The countless setting options and the built-in equalizer let you change your music at will. These settings can be applied to playlists, albums and even individual songs.
- The player plays all common music formats without interruption. MP4, WAV, AIFF, m4a, FLAC and ALAC are included.
- If you have songs on your Android device without a matching album cover, this app will automatically download the right one for you. You can also download lyrics and sing along afterwards.
- If you like it, download the Pro version from the Play Store for only EUR 3.99. This is necessary after a 15-day test period.
Good alternative to the standard player: PlayerPro Music Player
The PlayerPro Music Player Trial app offers an equally good music player. Although it is not quite as pretty as the alternative above, it has almost identical functions.
- With Swype gestures, you can easily swipe through the menu and target your desired music. For example, you can also set the music to pause when you turn your smartphone over.
- Missing album covers are also supplied with this player and you can easily add missing tags.
- Various widgets let you place this music player on your home screen. This means you don't have to spend a long time looking around in the app drawer, but control your songs with just one click.
- You can use this app with all its features free of charge for seven days. After that, an upgrade to the Pro version worth EUR 3.99 is necessary.
Special music player with a special surface: n7Player
The n7Player impresses with a unique surface that you won't find in any other music player.
- At the beginning you will be shown a tutorial that will guide you through all functions of the music player.
- The user interface is designed so that all artist names are displayed in a kind of "word swirl". Using gestures, you steer towards the artists and thus get to the respective albums and tracks. If this is too complicated for you, simply choose the standard view, which shows you titles and artists in a normal list.
- You test the free full version for 14 days, after which a one-time fee of EUR 3.89 is due, which you buy separately.
Double twist: more than a music player
DoubleTwist Player is an excellent Android app that replaces the standard music player.
- This free app is clearly structured so that you can quickly switch between your songs or your own playlists.
- Synchronize your playlist with that of your PC via cable or with the additional (chargeable) app AirSync also wirelessly via WLAN.
- In addition to your own music, you can also listen to the radio or watch videos. "DoubleTwist" is a kind of all-rounder for your smartphone.
- This music player can also be used to subscribe to podcasts. After an update, there is also the option to password-protect these podcasts.
Google's music player: Google Play Music
Google's music player is called Google Play Music and comes with many music titles. In addition, the player is completely free.
- Upload your music and play it on all devices you own. So log in with your account and listen to the music on your tablet, smartphone or PC.
- Buy music tracks directly from the app and play them directly. It doesn't matter whether you go to the app or use a widget.

- You will also receive a personal recommendation to suit your taste in music.
- Google Play also offers a streaming service that costs 9.99 euros per month.
