What is your music player of choice?

[Android Central Question]

Just looking for a simple interface to play local music files stored on my SD card.
Would be nice to have options to control music player using keyboard, but not an absolute must.
+Shuffle
+Display tag information
Thanks for any and all suggestions! ☺

I use the default music player that came with my LG G30. I don't care about tag info or shuffle or the like, I just want the music to sound OK.

If I am on my computer, I will play the music stored on it for the much better speaker system.

From your description, "simple" is not what you are looking for.

Sounds good ManiacJoe. True, your needs are more simplistic than mine, but shuffly and tag display (title of song, album) really are pretty basic.

Not looking for the sound to be anything special like bass boost, equalizer, etc. This might be beyond basic.

I don't think the default built-in LG V30 player is available though on the Play Store. I don't have an LG.

True, the player I have on my LG is not available on the Play Store. There is also not enough metadata available to ID who actually wrote it.

I am familiar with the names of some of the Big-Name music players, but I have not used any of them. If you do a Google search for "top 10 android music players", the same names tend to keep coming up.

Personally I like Samsung's Music Player. Simple, does the embedded tags and lyrics if any, has folder sort option, and sounds good. Not as good as Poweramp with its software equalizer and amps, but with the built in equalizer, UHQ, and Adapt Sound in the phone, it's pretty great since it's free and Poweramp is paid. I did already buy Poweramp years ago though but it's UI isn't really keeping with the times IMO.

Have you tried Neutron or Poweramp?

I've used both of these before I had my LG V20. I use the LG Music player app on the V20.
