    Amazing thanks !

    If your music files are lossless, eg. WAV or ahem FLAC,
    then, UAPP is a better player, as you can choose to play your files in BitPerfect.

    I bought PowerAMP and recently bought UAPP,
    so, I listen to my FLACs through UAPP.

    However, UAPP interface is not as nice as PowerAMP.

      i genuinely cant tell the difference between a flac and the 320 mp3 generated from the flac

      • theory on 06/12/2023 - 18:31
        +1

        I can, might depend on your setup. And also 320 is generally good enough so I get it, not hating.
        Same back and forth debates happen here all the time with streaming movies vs physical discs.
        Some can tell a difference, some can't.
        But these days a 20MB file vs a 5MB file isn't a big deal, so for music why not go with lossless even if it's just slightly better sometimes?

        • Bacons on 06/12/2023 - 18:38
          +6

          imo 5 vs 20 is a huge difference imo, 4 times the size.

          The only times I can tell a difference is when I'm comparing a 320 mp3 from 1 source to a flac from another source. In that event its just more likely the mp3 is a crappy encode. If its mp3 from the same source flac vs the source flac, I doubt any1 can tell the difference in a controlled blind test

            @Bacons: Yeah you explained it well. If it's the same source you won't be missing much if anything, but some random MP3 versus a lossless CD rip is night and day.
            I have a dedicated drive (server) for lossless files for streaming outside of home, so trying to minimise loss in quality. Agree it's too much for the average person.

            • whyisave on 06/12/2023 - 19:56

              @theory:

              I have a dedicated drive (server) … for streaming

              What software are you using ?
              Is it ROON ?

                @whyisave: JRiver on the PC, JRemote2 app on Android. Neither are free. Takes a while to figure out all the customisation options but you can do a lot to sort things the way you like it.

                Edit: Another option is Plex and Plexamp which are both free. Just wasn't doing exactly what I wanted and a mate sold me on JRiver, but I reckon the Plex option is pretty good for free!

        • RedHab on 07/12/2023 - 09:18

          The original mp3 standard was for 112kbps.

          It was set at this by the researchers at Frauenhoffer because their test audience on high end equipment of the late 1980's could not hear a difference between CD and mp3 quality at this level.

          • G-rig on 07/12/2023 - 10:43

            @RedHab: Was still better than cassettes then lol.
            Just stick to 320kbps , Pretty reasonable file size than you don't have to wonder. Having a mix of low quality junk.. or better yet just stick to CD quality rips

      • G-rig on 07/12/2023 - 02:21
        +1

        @bacons That's lucky, probably no need for you to worry if just listening to mp3s or Spotify on phone with average headphones.

        It's when you have decent equipment that you can tell a difference. I used to have an mp3 version of music for portable but just stream on Tidal now anyway (and DLAC is most of the way to lossless and pairs well with Sony headphones).

        PS. Also use Foobar2k for PC, shame they didn't update it for easy casting but reminded me to check the app again.

          • G-rig on 07/12/2023 - 11:35

            @Bacons: Cool, sounds like it. I've still got all my FLAC albums, physical CDs in boxes but handy to playing them using volumio these days to rpi 4-dac-monitors when I get sick of streaming tidal.

            Haven't found any DSD to test but seriously 96/24 is good enough

      Have used PowerAMP for years.

      This is… PowerAudio
      Searching for comments on PowerAudio mainly leads back to this Deal…

      Confusing!

        Very similar icon too. Quite misleading imo

        • INFIDEL on 06/12/2023 - 22:02

          Yes - same looking icon in Black.

    • js1963 on 06/12/2023 - 18:48

      Yes but this is free and UAPP is $11.99

      • whyisave on 06/12/2023 - 19:58

        It's the ability to play something in 'BitPerfect'.

        That's why I bought it,
        and I don't buy very many apps!

    • RefusdClassification on 07/12/2023 - 17:30

      I recommend Neutron Music Player for audiophiles. It can play opus files too (some software doesn't support this format) and has an optional, customizable parametric Dynamic Compressor. Dynamic Compressors are great for high dynamic range music such as Classical and Film Soundtracks. Disable it for modern music genres though; modern music has effectively no dynamic range, just a wall of sound. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neutroncod…

      Neutron Player has bitperfect playback plus a shit-tonne of very powerful features other players dont have, plus a decent interface. PowerAmp has a better interface but it's nowhere near as capable. Forget bit-perfect, it can't even play back at the same sample rate as the file.

    Use musicolet it's free and plays Flac

    • Estribo on 06/12/2023 - 19:13

      This is what I use. Pretty close to VLC.

    • gturner on 06/12/2023 - 19:34

      Winner, thanks

    • Mechz on 06/12/2023 - 20:06

      I just reinstalled to give this another go.

    • Russ on 07/12/2023 - 13:58

      Also, Musicolet says it has gapless playback, which the app in this deal doesn't mention.

  • gturner on 06/12/2023 - 18:58

    Any player that you can change the speed? I've been listening to a few books, and want to make it a little quicker

    • S2 on 06/12/2023 - 19:11

      musicolet, recommended by fatty99 above can change the speed.
      As does good old VLC.

    • levqchi on 06/12/2023 - 20:47

      Podcast Addict, import the audiobook and change the speed.

    • superchroma on 06/12/2023 - 21:26

      I use JetAudio Plus as it allows for speed and tone control.

    Is there any point actually grabbing this? I have a lot of my own MP3s and I use Black player app for them for my phone and bluetooth to the car /cabled Android auto but basically just use YouTube music premium for playlists and all steaming musicor Spotify (free) a bit less . So what do most of you think then, any point getting this ? I know , I know it's free so just Ozb/grab it but I mean. Is it really necessary or that goodm? Ta

    • Mechz on 06/12/2023 - 19:34

      If Black Player is still working for you then keep it. It's the best of the free apps.

  • marktable on 06/12/2023 - 19:05

    Foobar2000 is free, and supports loseless formats flac, ape etc. It's cross platform. I use it on pc and Mac for converting between music formats, and even burn CDs. Recently found the android version even has internet radios. Very nice app.

    • smurfinaus on 06/12/2023 - 20:19

      Both this and Musicolet are the best.Although recent versions of foobar seem to be mainly accessible via microsoft store…

  • Russ on 06/12/2023 - 19:21

    and best in class audio quality.

    Surely the audio quality is only dependent on the hardware the app is playing on? Apps shouldn't have defective audio decoding in this day and age, so surely all apps will sound the same on the same hardware.

    • RedHab on 07/12/2023 - 09:21
      +1

      Most of them just call the Android mp3 decoding libraries. They will all sound the same.

      Phone hardware is more important, especially the D/A converters and power supply noise.

    • bobz79 on 07/12/2023 - 00:27

      Thanks for suggesting this, just tried, seems pretty cool. Supports FLAC etc and has Dolby Atmos!

    • Jayblesz on 07/12/2023 - 07:42

      Same, I didn't even realise people still bothered to use third party apps on phones for music nowdays.

      • G-rig on 07/12/2023 - 07:47

        They wouldn't if you have an internet connection and just stream everything.
        Same goes for videos and movies.

        Depends if you're a digital hoarder or not.

          Depends if you're a digital hoarder or not.

          There are other reasons too. I bought the majority of my music 30+ years ago, and a lot of it (CDs of live performances, non-mainstream stuff etc.) has never made it onto streaming services. And being an OzBargainer, why would I pay extra for a streaming service when I already own most of the music I listen to?

          I still buy new music, at an average cost of maybe $30/year. I also have a $4/month phone plan with negligible data, so streaming would make my expenses go up, for no added advantage that I can see.

            @Russ: Same
            Spent a lot of time ripping to FLAC back in the 2000s for my own use, back before lossless and hi res streaming. Ain't going to delete them, sometimes wifi goes down so not bad to have.

            • Jayblesz on 07/12/2023 - 20:02

              @G-rig: 99% of music I listen to is hardcopies stored locally on my phone, but I just use Samsung music as it was default and works fine and integrates seamlessly with watch etc etc.

              I just Spotify for podcasts and audible for audiobooks. But yeah still surprising so many people use 3rd party software for the same or similar.

              Also realised yesterday I have YT music premium with my YT premium sub so might start using that a bit on android auto. Interface seems good.

              • G-rig on 07/12/2023 - 21:39
                +1

                @Jayblesz: For me it comes down to gapless playback and SQ eventually which can dictate players and hardware (ie replaced Chromecast audio with raspberry pi). Foobar2k was always good on PC.

                Yeah good having premium, I listen to videos with screen off more than yt music (which the sound quality is pretty average) but fine for use with google nest etc.
