=============

The player does not use sound effects provided by the platform, so equalizer can have more than 5 (or 10, or more) bands). You can create a bass booster based on the PEQ filter and add it to the audio processing chain (you can add multiple instances of the same type of filter.
Player provides scrollable seekbar. It helps to use player with long audio records (that were recorded by voice recorder). SeekBar is switched by long click.
The Player supports playback of internet radio. You can add/edit urls to the internal data base.

Sound effects:
1. (PEQ) Parametric EQ (you can add or remove band and set the frequency and bandwidth). You can load settings for added filters (It can be done from the menu that opens by long click on the filter in the list).
2. (Simple surround) Simple surround effects (Filter provides filling of listening via external speakers when you listen to music through headphones) (3D sound). (Filter under development).
3. (Volume normalizer) Filter compresses dynamic range.
It is useful when you listen to music in noisy places (bus, train and etc).
You can set the parameters of filter for you and save your configuration.
Visual effects:
1. (MBI) Multiband indicator (looks like a multi-band indicator on the stereo systems, that were made in the '90s).
You can open the nearest previous PEQ settings with MBI on the main screen by click on the MBI on the main screen.

=================================================
NOTES:
1. Turn off the application that controls the sound settings (equalizers with 5 bands, etc.). They make sound worse.
2. Presented audio effects process data only from this player (Effects are not applied for other players).
3. Some audio output plugins use private API (Native AudioTrack *), so they can be unstable (But if it works better than OpenSL you can use it)


May you pleasant listening to music.

Ratings and reviews

No cost (but with ads). Great in technicalities, especially Parametric EQ rarely found elsewhere, and other useful DSP options. But: - Playlist-based playback only - does not have a built-in music library. - Severely lacking on the UI level - much improvement is needed. - The built-in Paramedic EQ and other DSP work for this player only and cannot be applied to other players. Bottom line: It is neither useable as a system wide PARAMETRIC EQ / DSP app, nor is it a worthy all-in-one audio player.

Amazing sound quality and functionality of DSP. This is my must-have app when listening to music on headphones when I travel. That being said -- the UI is rather terrible and is what's preventing me from giving 5 stars to an otherwise excellent app. It manages to break pretty much every standard of Android usability. For starters, it basically prompts you to build the library of songs "from scratch" at every startup. Most music players just use the built-in media library automatically, and at minimum it should remember the last set of music loaded. Once you've loaded the list of songs, it's then very cumbersome to choose a different song. I think this app would benefit greatly from a UI redesign using the "Material" standard, at least the behavior part of it if you want to keep the current appearance.

Its extremely rare I'd ever consider giving a Player/EQ a 5 star rating. For as many as I've tested this will only be my 3rd, out of about 150 apps over the years. Now as much as I hate the UI, god it is a headache and dated; this app gives you what you need to sound like no other. Its extremely clear and well defined,I would put it on the plane of say Poweramp which I have used exclusively the last 5 years because nobody could seem to top it. For a phone this comes pretty close to my DAP.
