The flexibility of Android allows its users to have a large number of options available to choose from in all segments, including music players. Google Play Music offers traditional functionality, streaming in the cloud, and satisfies the most basic requirements.
But if you are looking for something more, you can use third-party applications, for more significant customization, sound control, and variety. That is our selection of the best free music players for Android.
1.- MediaMonkey
It is possible that the mobile version of MediaMonkey does not have the most attractive application interface that exists. But it does provide a decent set of features included in the free edition, with widgets, tag editing, scrobbling, and bookmarks for large files such as audiobooks.
In-app purchases allow you to add on-demand features. That comes with premium purchases that unlock wireless synchronization. That is done with the MediaMonkey desktop library, folder management, and wireless transmission.
2.- Musicolet
It is an ad-free music player oriented mainly to offline playback. Musicolet supports a variety of music formats and includes an excellent multi-series manager to make playlists, a tag editor, embedded lyrics support, a shutdown timer and widgets.
Here you will not find a lot of cosmetic personalizations since Musicolet focuses more on functionality than on design.
3.- BlackPlayer
Although less popular than other alternatives, it is an elegant and minimalist application with a clean and configurable interface that includes exciting features. Sliding controls allow easy navigation through the different views of the library (track, album, artist, genre) and playback.
It includes a 5-band equalizer, as well as a variety of audio effects such as a bass amplifier and a virtualizer, seamless playback and crossfade in the devices that support it. BlackPlayer also comes with three widgets, an ID3 tag editor. And there is support for FLAC and embedded letters.
4.- Stellio Music Player
It has an ordered, gestural interface and an adaptable interface theme. That automatically changes the colors to match the album art. It also supports visual effects with robust features such as massive file format support, a 12-band equalizer, widgets, lyrics support and scrobbling.
The Now Playing interface is particularly lovely, with the traditional search bar transformed into a circular sphere that works well on a phone screen. And sliding gestures allow you to extract the next or previous tracks easily.
5.- Phonograph
It is an elegant-looking Android music player, which provides users with a clean experience. Also, that hides functions such as editing labels and managing playlists behind contextual menus. The result is an attractive interface free of obstacles; It complements with colors that can be automatically changed to match the album art. Although it may be necessary to make a touch or two to access features such as the sleep timer or the equalizer.
6.- Musixmatch
This alternative covers essential functions with playback controls and a 5-band equalizer. But the real appeal is how the application automatically displays synchronized lyrics for each song as the track plays. Musixmatch also works well with other music player applications such as Spotify or Play Music. That is, by using a feature called FloatingLyrics to display synchronized song lyrics while playing a track. It has support for Chromecast and Android Wear.
