Whoknowsmehere Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 My first post in this section. So be gentle. I am curious as to what type of music player you all use for you mobile devices (specifically phones)? I have been using the basic player that comes pre-installed with my phone. The issue is that it has problems playing flac or better quality files. I was feeling I was not getting the best quality sound for my head phones. Pretty high end pair of Klipsch that I paid over 300 bucks for and I wanted the best sound I could get. I also have a pretty nice sound booster I hook up to my phone. So I downloaded the newest version of vlc player for android and it did a better job than the built in one did. But still not satisfied. So I started the search all over again. I came across of number of them. But after reading some of the reviews I decided to give the Onkyo HF Player a try. And I am glad i did. This little app works wonders. The sound it fantastic. My head phones have a lot of bass to them - I like that - and i just was not getting the full effects with the other players I have tried. But let me tell you this new player plays flac files perfectly and the bass effect is off the hook. The one thing I have not figured out yes it if it plays songs one after the other. I am still playing around with it. If any of you have any ideas or suggestion on other music apps I would be very interested in hearing about them? Or if you feel curious give the one I describe above a try and let me know what you thing of it. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shout87 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 My issue with my player (built in one) is that it gaps (like if I play a live recording, it adds a gap in between songs instead of playing straight through). I can't find an option to fix this. Would like other free options as well. I miss using my ipod classic 160. But apparently people don't/won't fix them anymore.

Main Pop Girl Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I have an iPhone so I'm pretty much just limited to the standard music player sadly. Although I used Google Play for a while and I'm now on Spotify which is a lot easier to use than either of the others! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicyhot Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 DoubleTwist for Android is pretty good. It even syncs with iTunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turn Ya Head Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I use CloudPlayer by DoubleTwist.

(not your fault, I get that way a lot). I did not know iTunes worked on an android. Or am I missing something? Or are you saying you can use the app with an Android phone and an Apple based phone?

Do either of the ones you guys/gals referred to play flac quality or higher files? My built in one on my HTC phone does not. Like I was saying in my OP, I want to be able to take advantage of my headphones and power booster. When I plug my power booster into my phone and then plug my headphones into my power booster, I want to truly enjoy the sound quality that it puts out.

spicyhot Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 It's been a while since I've used it as I have an iPhone now but I'm pretty sure it works fine with FLAC files. I've done a quick web search and it said it does play FLAC files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not supported by Apple but it works pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play lossless files on Cloud Player so I guess there'll be no problem with quality 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoknowsmehere Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Just thought I would post a pic of the headphones I use on my compter. Sound is amazing. I don't normally like over the ear headphones, but as they were a gift I am not going to complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicyhot Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I'm not too fond of over the ear headphones too however saying that I was given a pair for Christmas and I'm loving them more and more. You really feel in another place when you're wearing them and the sound quality is so much better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
