I use Resco's Pocket Radio -- sometimes to listen to streaming music before bed, sometimes just for its sleep timer, while listening to music in Windows Media Player.
Way back when, there was a PHM Power Toy that gradually faded WMP then turned the device off, which was perfect. But those apps haven't been updated in years.

Best audio setup for simple car audio/speakers AUX?

Hello xda,
I, as I imagine many other people in this forum, love hearing my music while driving. It's soothing, makes the ride easier and all in all can be a great experience. However, things can always get better.
I'm using my Galaxy Note 3 along with Poweramp music player and no additional SoundFX or anything. Poweramp is adjusted in the "Bass and Treble" preset, bass is halfway up, treble is 3/4 and StereoX is halfway up as well. Sound is pretty nice and bass is nice as well, however, I feel that the sound could be waay better than what it currently is, I love a nice, booming feeling bass (none of that cracking bull) but it lacks in that department.
My car has a simple radio with AUX entrance and 4 pretty normal speakers, I know this will certainly limit my experience and I currently do not have the resources to improve this aspect of my audio, but I was wondering if anyone here had reached a good setup or preset for listening music in your car's audio that you would like to share. I would be very glad to hear about your experiences and current setups.
SoundFX apps, Music player apps, Equalizer presets... all that stuff. I'm looking for a nice clean booming bass and clean trebles, not interested in distortion or drowning the higher pitched noises in exchange for lows. Share with us!

Just in case anyone came across this thread and was interested in improving the sound experience of your low-end car audio system. I found a very good mix for my phone. Clean punching bass and great treble. Remember that most likely it will not sound the same in your vehicle due to all the variables involved. But give it a try nonetheless.

Used PowerAmp. Equalizer is FLAT, bass and treble 1/3 way up. No StereoX. Limit enabled. Remember to disable direct volume control and enable musicFX in Poweramp.
When playing music, go to Viper4Android, go in menu and tap "Driver Status".
In processing it must say Yes. Otherwise, V4A is not working. Try enabling compatible mode and rebooting.

BlackPlayer EX has folder browsing. It only costs $0.99.

Ohhh! I didn't know it! Nice!

The dev is also very responsive when emailing suggestions, requests, and bug reports.

Definitely better than poweramp. Good job devs!

I don't have words to express my satisfaction after using this.... This is how google play music should be in first place... Great Job... kudus to devs for their hard work and support...

Does it support ReplayGain ID3 tags, POPM tag, and dynamic playlists? The perfect music player for me would. As a bonus, but soon a necessity, Android Auto.

It's a great music player but it seems that TB can't keep track of the current song. I mean that the song is reset after a clean flash.

Hey mate
I must admit, that i didnt test a lot of music-player-apps, but since years I miss a feature (or didnt find it) and perhaps, it could become one of your unique features:
-Jump to Time
There are a lot of 1hour+ mixtapes, and its hardly possible to jump to the right position with the seek-bar-slider, because 1mm slide could skip 2-10 min...
Going to test you app now

Definitely better than jetaudio...love it.
But my song not showing on BBM feeds when I enable Show What I'm Listening To on BBM setting. Or maybe i missed some setting on blackplayer?
Update:
Yes..i missed it. There is broadcast now playing on settings...love it

I have tried with the Fiio E18 in the past and it worked well. You could try for yourself though, it's free.

A very good player! Thank u

Great player - can theme the colours too

Google Play Music Equalizer Settings

Hey all. I wanted to make this thread for us audiophiles to share our Equalizer settings through the Google Play Music app and give people some general guidelines for optimal sound settings. While there is no real format to this, if you decide to contribute, please try to include:
Headphone type (earbuds or headphones)
Brand of headphones/earbuds (if you can)
Type of music
Screenshot of settings
For me, I listen mainly to metal and hip hop. And when I say metal, I don't mean Judas Priest or Black Sabbath. I'm talking about the newer generation of metal with weird noises and breakdowns (ALL THE BREAKDOWNS). I want my music to be as heavy as possible, so I lean more towards heavy bass and cranked treble which offers extremely clarity to the instruments. The vocals take a bit of a hit and almost get drowned out, but I'm still trying to find a way to balance everything. If there are any fellow metalheads here, please feel free to help out.

In google play music there was a beep sound in between the songs.and songs change automaticaly.please help me to resolve this problem...my mobile is moto g4 plus

"newer generation of metal with weird noises and breakdowns "
That's not metal... That's mallcore.
But anyway, my settings depend on which earphones I use. Usually, I go for a scooped setting, the mids are set to flat or a little below. If I use my AKG Q460 I might even turn of the EQ, since they are more balanced than in ear headphones.
My bass boost is set at maybe 1/4 and the surround is off.
Other in ear phones I use are aJays 5, Samsung HS3303 and Motörhead Overkill. The aJays and Overkill have a bit more treble than the Samsung ones which I find more balanced and they fit better in my ears as well. But right now I go with the aJays.

Being a bit of an audiophile myself. I am very happy using Viper4Android cabled to my headphone amp. I keep the settings simple enough not to drastically change the sound but to enhance my experience with my IEMs.

Usb-C Dac gain control without root - tutorial

Tutorial
Using Neutron player and it’s custom Usb driver to play Google music.
Requirements:
Neutron player
Bubble Player
Working tethering if you are not in a wifi zone.
Rational:
The current android usb-c audio driver defaults to max digital gain of the dongle, causing higher distortion than if it was set to a lower gain. The Pixel Gain control app addresses this. If you have root, this is the way to go.
If not rooted, there is a bit of a workaround that will be discussed here.
Basically we are going to use Bubble player to expose the Google music library/playlist for Neutron player serving as the front end. Neutron will play DLNA streams and will see Bubble as such.
Advantage-custom Usb driver to minimize distortion and allow custom sample rates not available in android (Pixel at least) such as 44.1 or 96 Khz if the Dac supports it.
All the great features of Neutron-up to 20 band parametric equalizer, crossfeed, surround.
Disadvantage- cumbersome workaround, you will lose headset non music audio while the Neutron driver is active (system notification, ringtones, phone).
Install both apps.
It is best if you have some playlists in Google music or radio stations already set up.
Bubble setup:
Enable local media server and advertise on lan.

Under Google music, enable + remote browsing.
Under Cloud, Google Music- refresh and choose playlists.
Set media volume ¾ of the way up in settings.
Open Neutron
Audio hardware:
Choose generic driver, not 32 bit out, Direct USB Driver
Tap on Direct Usb driver and make sure Volume control is off.
Choose follow source frequency
Go to Sources
Hit the + button
Choose DLNA:
Choose Bubble
Choose Stations
Choose Playlists
Hit the check button
Back out to Neutron Playlist menu
Here they are
Choose a playlist and start playing.
Go to the gain/equalizer screen.
Note the Dac setting bar on the right. That is the way to adjust the Usb Dac. Keep the slider less than 2/3 down from the top if possible.
Keep android volume high to compensate:
After a quit/reboot, you need to be on a wifi or hotspot, restart Bubble, open Neutron, go to sources. It may also be necessary to repeat the process of adding the DLNA server and all that follows
You may need to refresh the Google playlist/files from Bubble if anything changes in your Gmusic.
Proof of concept
Elimination of distortion playing a streamed 1kHz sine from Google on line, with Neutron:

Neutron driver:
I am probably forgetting a fair amount of detail.
Will add to instructions as needed.

I guess it is worth mentioning, the only way to change the volume is via Replay Gain button. Maybe I pressed something wrong, but changing volume with a button does nothing.
I also could not find and do "Set media volume ¾ of the way up in settings." in BubbleUPNP. Any chance you can point this out.

The volume slider on the equalizer screen controls the Dac gain. I thought that the volume rocker would handle the Android volume but it doesn't appear to.
Let me speak to the developer for clarification.
Thanks.

I was interested in using the pixel dongle both for portable use and for travel from a laptop. Is the digital gain controllable from windows / linux? Is it simply the volume on that device, or something else? How about forcing selection between 3 impedance modes?

You can't force the voltage change to my knowledge, it depends on the headset impedance. If you are using linux, then you can adjust the digital gain with Alsa (that's what I do in my app on the Pixel).
You won't find a better Dac at this price either.

Nice, would love to find a way to do it on Windows as well. I'll look around as well
