As per the Twitter posts here & here, one of Androids best music players is going on it's first ever sale. I've tinkered with the trial on many occasions and more recently I broke the first rule of any good OzBargainer and let my impatience get the best of me and purchased the full version. None the less, this app is definitely one of the best on my phone.

Check out the app at the developers website

Market Links:

PowerAmp 15 Day Trial
PowerAmp Trial Unlock (Full Version)

A reasonable review for those wanting a quick look on YouTube

Updated details from the Market page:

Rarely do we get users that make us so proud of what we've created. We have received ratings that have constantly staid above the 4.5 mark even after 100,000+ rating on top of that, we have received over 15,000,000 downloads. As thank you, we are doing a 48 hour application sale for $1.99 [US]. So if you love our player and want to get it for a bargain price (only time you'll get this chance this year), here you go guys. Thanks for using our player!

UPDATE:
As noted by a true OzBargainer "happening", the PowerAmp website is still selling the app for $1.95 AUD! Nice work!

      $AU4.60 It's on sale for the next 48 hours.

  • thangcuoi on 03/03/2012 - 07:57

    Great for those who listen to lots of music on their Android devices. I only have time for podcast and audio books these days so still undecided.

    • A Banana4scale on 03/03/2012 - 11:04

      you should get beyondpod.

      • thangcuoi on 04/03/2012 - 01:21

        I gave in 20 minutes after making the original post.

        Thanks for the suggestion. I use Google Listen for podcast and MortPlayer for audio book. They are both free and meet all my needs in these two categories.

  • Majosha on 03/03/2012 - 08:45

    Thanks for this! Wouldn't have seen it otherwise. Just installed on both my android devices. So far I'm very impressed.

  • rndmnss on 03/03/2012 - 08:47

    Thanks for the share! I've been waiting for this since the 10c sale.

  • RedHab on 03/03/2012 - 08:48

    Thanks, the best Android player, IMHO

    To those above saying thanks, we have a better way to express thanks. Its called the positive vote.

    Using it means more to everyone.

  • frenzaltom on 03/03/2012 - 10:04

    thanks, my trial expired yesterday.

    • rdhupar on 04/03/2012 - 01:46

      Can't believe it…i just bought it yesterday…anyway of getting a refund n back at cheaper price :-)

  • cowping on 03/03/2012 - 10:17

    Not that impressed. It doesn't look like it can be used as a master equalizer so no good if you are using a music streaming service like rdio (me!). Bit old school :)

  • SpaceTerrain on 03/03/2012 - 10:18

    I was waiting for some kind of deal on this player. this is not the best deal like 10c deals but still good with more than 50% off.

  • StewBalls on 03/03/2012 - 10:26

    This is the best music player for Android that I've come across!

  • scrimshaw on 03/03/2012 - 10:43

    Good UI, good design, and FLAC support. Much better than Doubletwist or Winamp. + from me.

  • Diji1 on 03/03/2012 - 10:57

    Agreed this is a great player - it may take you a little of time to fully appreciate all the features of this player and work out how to do things but it's definitely worthwhile once you do. This isn't really a weakness as much as a sign of being chock full of features.

    One thing I don't like is the lack of play controls on the lock screen like Winamp Pro has (though if you download the free app Headset Droid you can control most popular players using your handsfree control). Navigating through screens isn't as intuitive or painless as Winamp Pro also in some instances.

    Having said that it is my default player and at this price is a no brainer.

  • Freighter on 03/03/2012 - 11:01

    I enjoy the lockscreen, you can easily change songs by swiping the cover art left or right :)

    I paid full price for this and use it all the time! The only problem i've found is the default EQ is set to bass and treble on all my songs! How do I change that??

  • Black Hole on 03/03/2012 - 11:11

    This is the best of the best!

  • shab on 03/03/2012 - 11:40

    Great app, worth the full price so this is definitely a bargain. Allows me to use my MetroFi 220vi headphones to skip track forwards and backwards on double/triple click. You can also configure a lock screen with the play pause and next track buttons on screen.

  • browser on 03/03/2012 - 11:49

    Thanks! Not overly impressed with the stock player, good price for an alternative player.

    Great player for 24-bit FLAC… thanks

  • Shwayne on 03/03/2012 - 12:50

    Great player, just make sure your phone is a good audio playing device. :P (ProTip SGS1 is amazing, SGS2 and GN are not.)

    • scrimshaw on 03/03/2012 - 13:50
      +1

      How come? Why is the SGS1 better at audio at the SGS2?

      • Fred on 03/03/2012 - 15:07
        +2

        SGS2 has a crap audio chip (C1-YMU823), PowerAmp's graphic equalizer helps alot, it's a must if you want to bring out the deep vocal qualities of singers like Nana Mouskouri and Burt Bacharach.

        • Shwayne on 04/03/2012 - 13:48
          +1

          This man speaks the truth.

          The SGS1 has the Wolfson WM8994 codec, a superior codec made by the people who had their chips in Apple products before their contract was cancelled. (Which is why you see an obvious move from iPods within the audiophile community.)

          The SGS1 donned superior audio quality, especially with this installed: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.cont…

          I can't stand the quality of my SGS2 so I ended up buying a Sansa Clip+ which has a very similar codec/dac/amp to the SGS1.

        • Housecat on 04/03/2012 - 19:56

          Who's Nana Mouskouri?

    Great! It recognises "WMA" format and doesn't just throw all my music under "Unknown artist".

  • FernandoWho on 03/03/2012 - 13:29

    Just purchased.
    Does anyone know how to filter out videos from coming up in All Songs?

    • Zaia on 03/03/2012 - 19:36

      Go to Settings > Music Folders. Untick the box (it's default is all media on SD card I think), then select the folders you have with music and no videos.

  • Housecat on 03/03/2012 - 13:29

    Does this work with Google Music?

  • [Deactivated] on 03/03/2012 - 14:03

    yeah. It's the best music player. I know you can adjust the volume by pressing the volume rocker on the phone, but I wish they could've made it easier to change volume rather than having first to press the volume button, then adjust the volume from there.

  • mlburnian on 03/03/2012 - 14:03

    got one, was on the trail version previously. Great sound quality tweaks, i use this with the voodoo sound app and the sound quality improvement is immense relative to stock. this app Would be even better if they incorporated wi-fi sync function - winamp pro has this feature

  • francis.tks on 03/03/2012 - 15:01

    Damn, already bought it. But that was long time ago and never regretted it.

  • Anonym0us on 03/03/2012 - 15:10

    Always found Poweramp to be the best music player on android but did not wish to pay $4.80 as google music would do the same job just without some minor extras like cutting of podcast names in folders. While alot of other players did have folder play or split podcast into their album names. Other also have problems with being frozen with ice cream sandwich.

    At less than $2 I more than happy to buy this to get rid of those annoying minor issues.

  • leonheart1 on 03/03/2012 - 15:14

    Great. Hope Tasker goes on sale soon.

    Also for those wondering why they're getting an additional $2 charge, Google does that to verify your credit card.
    They'll refund it shortly after.

  • paveln on 03/03/2012 - 15:37

    Fantastic deal. My trial ran out recently and I was wondering whether I should drop the cash for it.

    Thanks for this. I would never have noticed it without Ozbargain.

    I had to chuckle at the marketing spiel for the sale. "We have received ratings that have constantly staid above the 4.5 mark". Spell check has a lot to answer for. (I hope it was spell check, and not that the developers of PowerAmp don't know the difference between staid and stayed.)

    • StewBalls on 04/03/2012 - 11:41

      I know a lot of coders/developers who are piss-poor spellers…I'm sure that if they did a study using fMRI or some other whizz-bang scan tech there's probably some weird right/left hemisphere brain thing going on that's not happening in other folks! ;)

    I was contemplating for a while, but then decided to get it. One of the best purchases for my phone. These comments seem unusually positive, and that made me a bit skeptical. But after having used it, I cant recommend it more.

    Just the auto album art and cross fading of songs is worth the money. Love that it can edit the ID3 tags too. And the equalizer - made my music collection interesting again :)

    Thanks for the deal OP, cheers!

  • Ci3reR on 05/03/2012 - 00:25

    Thanks OP for pointing this..! =)

    I am still new in Android Market, so would like to ask about Google checkout/wallet.
    There was an additional fee ($2) on top of the Poweramp app fee when I checked on my bank transaction list.
    Is this $2 fee a merchant fee?

    • A Banana4scale on 05/03/2012 - 01:14

      first time fee..will be refunded in a few days. Needed for verification

    Just if anyone lookin for alternatives, I found TTPod better than powerAMP and is free…originally got it as it downloads the lyrics and even synchronizes them, and can play them offline. Also has great widget, sleep timer, etc….check it out as an alternative and since PowerAMP sale over.
