Which music software(s) or apps do you use on your computer or smartphone?


Want to get an idea of what some members are using. Perhaps I may switch to it, if seems better. Doesn't hurt to try. 

So far, I am very pleased with the apps and software I use.

@frank009 -- usually those people start their question with something along the lines of "I have a XXX streamer or DAC" and then ask if a "YYY or ZZZ would be better" or if there are other suggestions for improvement.  

And you do seem to enjoy arguing for the sake of arguing.  But, if that's how you get your jollies, have at it! 

Sorry I asked.

The music app or software doesn’t change the sound quality unless you enable specific settings like EQ, MSEB, cross-feed, etc. The software itself cannot change the sound quality if it plays back your file format of choice natively.

I was asking more about apps on android phones and programs on Windows 11 computers that are used for music playback. I want something that is possibly even more feature rich.

I use JRiver on my computer and don’t like foobar. 

I use the hiBy music app when I travel with the HiBy FC1. I can (sort of) get the sound to be similar to my main headphone rig by skillfully using MSEB. It's not the same, but it's pretty close.

For a computer windows media 64 bit, with all the bells and whistles set correctly, for a phone android Pulsar+

Thanks for providing some actual information.  I don't use Windows for music control. On  my Linux laptop I use LMS for control.  On my phone and tablet I use one of several options -- Qobuz Connect, the WiiM app, or Material Skin. I find no audible difference between them as they are just selecting the music to play and not altering the data stream. Which one I use depends on which of my systems I'm using and which is going to be the easiest for finding the music I'm interested in at the moment -- for example, Qobuz Connect has no access to my local collection.
