I just found the paper which lead me to using
Neutron player. It's on a top-ten list from Tom's Hardware sister site "Toms Guide" here's the link for the paper "
10 Best Android Music Players". I also saw Neutron on a similar top list at "
Higheredtechdecisions". I think anyone shopping for an audio player can benefit from perusing these articles.
I have to admit my choice was heavily influenced both by the eval version's fantastic performance and it's aesthetics. It may seem somewhat shallow, but Aesthetics is why I didn't go for a player supporting both video and audio. and chose Neutron, even though it's strictly audio. (I'm sticking to VLC for video, mostly because I play very little video using my phone)..
