Top Free Android Audio Players

We often see Android devices being used as a music player. Android has a fairly capable stock audio player. However, that player has a number of deficiencies. For example the lack of gapless playback is a showstopper for anyone who likes to listen to classical music.

Fortunately, there is an extensive amount of free audio software available on the Android platform which is both mature, sophisticated, and provides functionality omitted in the stock player.

The Android market has a large number of dedicated audio players as well as software that offer integrated audio and video playback. Some of the software has limited functionality or is in an early stage of development. To help users identify the best of breed software, we have compiled a list of 8 high quality Android audio players, covering a broad range of different uses. We give our highest recommendation to Winamp and MixZing.

So, let's explore the 8 audio players at hand. For each application we have compiled its own portal page, providing screenshots of the software in action, a full description with an in-depth analysis of its features, together with links to relevant resources and reviews.
