Hello,
Does anyone know if the audio booster or an equalizer is available for the desire? I had a quick look on the app store and found one but is was quite expensive witness mixed reviews.
thank you for your time

yes please. only one paid app that's overpriced and buggy. something that does EQ as a plugin to Desire's stock music app would be great...

I have a feeling this will be added in FroYo as it's been requested by a lot of people. Best bet is to wait until may 19th and see what 2.2 is like.
That said, I don't want any Equalizer on my phone. Equalizers muddy music and they add distortion.
I was wondering if anybody would be interested in developing something like this? A simple Google search for the something like this obviously reveals a completely untapped market for this device which has amazing hardware with great audio recording and playback. In fact, I'm using something called Tazcam, which allows me to plug in my external mic and guitar directly into my Touchpad, and the quality is AWESOME.
Just a thought.

I've recently tried out the power amp trial to see why its the people's choice for "best music player." Maybe it's because it's the trial but I don't see and significant things that make it better than the standalone stock player for the galaxy s3.
On the poweramp, you can adjust the EQ or use presets, same goes for the s3 player. Theres also the bass, treble, volume and x-stereo (not sure what that is) and on the stock player there is the 3d, bass, reverb, size of room, and clarity.
Am I missing something? Is it the looks that people go for on the poweramp? Or is there some special key features that other players don't have.
I'm not sure if I want to purchase the unlocked poweramp if it isn't much superior than the stock player. Only thing thats neat to me are the different sizes of widgets and customization for them.
What do you guys think?
Ummm, about everything. Sound quality, customization of the music and metadata, aesthetics, and especially the navigation and accessibility of your files.

To me the sound quality is the same on both.

honestly, it sounds to me like you don't really care what the best music player is. if the stock player satisfies you, then by all means stick with it. it is NOT bad. it is also not for everyone
I like the crossfade/gap-less playback personally
How can software effect sound quality the only factors that should effect sound quality for digital music is bit rate, digital to analog converter and the tiny little amp inside our phones since the software only messes with the sound once you start funking it up with the EQ

You are kidding me right? Poweramp significantly makes all music sound way better! Even my car stereo with two subs sound way better with Poweramp.

How can software make sound better?! You're kidding right?! Have you heard of Beats? The hardware can do so much, but the processing (compression, equalization, etc) is all done via software. PA is miles ahead of the competition for true audiophiles.
These music players should NOT have any effect on music. If you shape the sound (EQ) you are losing bit depth plain and simple. That's why the whole beats app is a joke to me. The term beats and audiophile do not belong in the same sentence.
That said "better" is a subjective term and not everyone enjoys a flat eq curve, especially people with dual subs jamming to rap. Subjectively power amp SHOULD be the same as any player playing the same content with no EQ.
Also, you can control the player while the phone is locked (paid version)

So does every other music app. The key to good sound is headphones. My Klipsch reference headphones sound awesome no matter what app I use. Anymore you pick an app based on feature set. If yours does what you want then screw other apps.

erichj - I agree.
The main reason I bought it was for streaming my music in my car via Bluetooth. It connects and starts playing instantly without touching anything.
Poweramp is cool but, I prefer playerpro. The soft bass I get on playerpro is better than poweramp
I'm kinda debating between player pro and n7player now..
I don't really like the folder view in poweramp, and no lock screen controls was kind of sad too

Poweramp definitely has lock screen controls...I'm guessing most of you didn't try to learn how to use the app before posting.

You obviously didn't use the software. It does those 2 things better than any player out there.
UI, Preferences, plays voicemail received in Exchange (vs Remote Wave) and just got very use to it on my DX.

wow I'm blind, thanks.
I'm going to have to look into everything again
Well both software and hardware affects the music. But honestly without the hardware, theres no sound.
Seems like ill be sticking with the stock player for now and switch over to n7player or poweramp later on. gapless play back is a plus tho
Let's face it android music or whatever application android offers isn't nearly comparable to ios counterpart, in fact I always found my ipod more appealing for the music because even double twist was worse.
So, it is possible to create or port ios music app?

if ou know how to code, it should be easy. its not possible to port any ios apps because its totally different os. the only possibility is to theme a music app or code a new app.
but why in the world do you want to change to ios? android is as good as it gets. ALSO i just remembered. i did a port on joyos and the joyos music player was really close to ios music player. you can download the port and copy the music player apk and move it to your phone.
those are the only possibilities that i can think of....

ok thanks I think I'll give it a shot.
anyway it's that ios feels better when it comes to play music,it's not that the interface makes it easier to search for songs,the white background etc etc.
there's too much black in android
hmm shame
Facepalm!

Just had this issue start a few days ago. Anytime the music player goes to the ticker view it also gets put in the notification screen, right? And when you completely exit the music player, it should go out in the notification screen. Well, not so much for me. Lol... The music player will stay in the notification until a reboot, even if I go to running services and force stop the music player service. In logcat it is constantly updating the ticker music view, even if the player is not running. Anyone else have this?

I haven't noticed thus when I used the stock player but since then I bought the amp called power amp which is a huge improvement in terms of everything including sound quality so downloading another music player is an option if it bothers you

Not a big bother, other than its something constantly running in the background... But as often as I reboot shouldn't be a big deal. Besides, I'd miss the ticker music view. Just wondered if anyone else had it happen.

Yeah i dont have the ticker with power amp but I set it to be accessible from the lockscreen so I just hit the power button and can control my music, worst comes to worst if the problem bothers you that much its worth a try.
Also I checked to see if my stock music player did that and mine does not. So it could be the possibility that a mod is causing it and it's not the gingerbread rom. Also I have beats audio flashed so that could be another reason mine doesn't do it (most likely not). I would say it's most likely a mod
