Best Local Music Players for Android

Although music streaming seems to be the most popular option today, there is still a large subset of people who prefer locally stored music. If you like local music, here are the best players for Android.

Do you know how they say that the best camera is the one you have with you? Well, in this circumstance, the same applies to music players: Google Play Music ships on almost every Android phone out there, and it turns out that it is also a very solid alternative to play your local music.

Offers an intuitive interface, library stand, playlists and even an equalizer so your songs sound like you. As an added benefit, if you like podcasts, Google Play Music has a built-in podcatcher so you can handle all your music and podcast needs from the same app.. That is very convenient.

At the same time, if in some moment do decide to make the switch to a streaming package, you can go with Play Music All Access and have your music local and streamed in the same place. It's a win-win.

Si algo sobre el uso de Play Music le molesta o simplemente se siente demasiado “desordenado” con el soporte de podcast y todo eso, then you will love Pulsar and BlackPlayer. In general, we try to select an application by category, but both are awesome apps. It was too difficult to select just one.

Pulsar

The appearance of each application is quite equivalent, and each one offers Album view, Artist, Track and Genre in one swipe interface. Pulsar also has a Folders view, so you can see exactly how your music is stored on your device.

Both apps also have a built-in equalizer, as well as various playback tools, like gapless and crossfading. You will find compatibility with themes in both applications, but BlackPlayer offers more customization options. If that is something you are looking for, then you might want to take a closer look at BlackPlayer first.

BlackPlayer

Both apps offer ((Pulsar/BlackPlayer) and paid versions. For paid versions, Pulsar Pro comes to $ 2.99, and BlackPlayer EX a $ 3.29. The paid versions offer things like more themes, better equalization and some additional customization options.

Best for music stored in the cloud: CloudPlayer (For free/$ 7,99)

Agree, este puede estirar un poco el tema de la “música local”, but if you prefer to keep your music stored in Dropbox, Google Drive o OneDrive, there's no reason why you can't stream it directly from those places. That's the best of both worlds: you can set the format and bitrate of your songs, prevent your device storage from filling up too quickly and not have to spend money on a streaming music package.

If that's what you are looking for, then CloudPlayer is the music player for you. Not only does it offer access to your Drive catalogs, Dropbox or OneDrive, it doesn't skimp on the features you expect from a music player. You will find playback without pauses, volume normalization, scrobbling from Last.fm, EQ and more throughout the journey. CloudPlater supports themes, as well as a handful of other interface-based tweaks, such as custom navigation views and lock screen views.

The hardest bottleneck to overcome when it comes to CloudPlayer is the price: to get the full set of functions, will have to disburse $ 7.99, which is quite expensive for an app. At least you can test it during 30 days before making the decision. And it's less than a month of a typical music streaming subscription.
