Best Offline Music App (VIP)
Are you tired of streaming music? It feels like everyone is talking
about how to stream this and how to stream that. Yet while streaming can
be convenient, it also eats up your mobile data.
With mobile providers becoming more stingy with data plans and data caps, maybe it’s time we go back to offline music files.
To
do this, you’re going to need a good music player app—and for your
convenience, we’ve done the research for you. Here are the best offline
music player apps for Android, some which you may not have heard about.
Note: Many popular music streaming apps
like Spotify and YouTube Music offer the ability to download music for
offline playback, but we’re not going to include those here.

The Best Free Offline Music Player Apps for Android
1. AIMP
At first glance, AIMP looks a bit overly simplistic.
Flat interface designs are currently in, but AIMP’s approach feels a
bit empty. Maybe that’s the point. This app gets straight to the point:
it plays your music and doesn’t muck around with distractions.
It handles nearly all audio file types—including lossy and lossless formats—and
it comes with a 29-band equalizer, which is rare to see in music
players. It can also mix multi-channel files to stereo and/or mono.
Overall, if you can get past the interface, it’s a solid choice that
won’t let you down.

2. JetAudio
JetAudio comes in both free and premium versions, but you get so much in the free version that most users won’t even need the latter. The only downside is that the free version is supported by ads, but they aren’t intrusive, so they’re tolerable.
Here’s
what you get: a 10-band equalizer with 32 presets, lossy and lossless
support, effects like reverb and x-bass, playback speed control,
automatic gain control, and more.
JetAudio Plus costs $4 and comes with a 20-band equalizer, built-in tag editor, over a dozen widgets, and a few other convenience features.

3. Rocket Player
Rocket Player has been around for a few years now,
and it has come a long way since its inception. A lot of the bugs have
been fixed, it performs much smoother now, and the feature set has
expanded by a lot.
For free, you get a 10-band equalizer with
several presets, over 30 themes, a built-in tag editor, Chromecast
support, a sleep timer, a nifty playlist manager, and even support for
podcasts.
Get Rocket Player Premium for $4 to unlock gapless playback, replay gain, crossfading, tag editing, expanded support for audio formats. and more.

4. Phonograph
Phonograph is often considered to be the
best-looking music player app, mainly because of the many built-in theme
color sets and the fact that the interface colors dynamically change to
match the content on the screen.
It’s pretty standard as far as
features go, so don’t expect a lot of bells and whistles, but if you
just want a simple listening experience that never gets in your way,
Phonograph may be the app for you.

5. Pixel Player
If you’ve come this far down the list and aren’t satified with the “lightweight” options further up, then we recommend giving Pixel Player a try. It’s lesser known, as evidenced by its number of reviews, but it’s pretty darn good.
It
only supports basic file formats, but it has a 5-band equalizer with
bass boost, gapless playback, a built-in tag editor, and a few options
for customization, such as themes and colors. Most notably, Pixel Player
can analyze what you listen to and suggest more music that matches your
tastes.

6. Impulse Music Player
What makes Impulse Music Player different? Maybe
it’s the fact that it’s designed to be a gesture-controlled music
player, making it perfect for any situation where you’re
preoccupied—such as when you’re driving!
In addition to gesture
controls, Impulse Music Player supports a number of useful features:
5-band equalizer with bass boost and virtualizer, gapless playback,
crossfade, metadata editing, automatic album art downloads, and more.
This music player app is no gimmick. It’s highly functional and definitely worth giving a try.

7. Shuttle Player
Intuitive and lightweight. That’s what separates Shuttle Player
from most other music players. It feels smooth and it runs well on
older devices, and while there isn’t anything distinctive about the
interface, it’s easy enough to use.
Free features include a 6-band
equalizer with bass boost, gapless playback, several theme options, a
sleep timer, and a few customizable widgets.
Shuttle+ costs $3 and grants a few extra features: built-in tag editor, folder browsing, Chromecast support, and a few more themes.

8. BlackPlayer
BlackPlayer is the best free music player I’ve ever
used. It’s clean, it’s modern, it’s lovely on the eyes, it’s easy to
navigate, and it’s packed with features: 5-band equalizer, gapless
playback, scrobbling, and sleep timer.
A premium version does exist, called BlackPlayer EX,
which has extra themes, fonts, more settings to tweak, more ways to
customize your experience, a visualizer, better sorting, and a first
taste of all future features. For just $3, it’s well worth it.

9. DoubleTwist
DoubleTwist has been around for a while (we first
reviewed it way back in 2012), and after all this time, it feels a bit
outdated in terms of what it offers.
As a music player, it gets
the job done—at least there aren’t any ads, even in the free version—and
the interface is quite nice too, but there’s nothing too special about
it anymore. It’s still good! It’s just not great anymore.
DoubleTwist Pro
is available for $8, which grants AirSync (syncing your music to your
PC over Wi-Fi), AirPlay (streaming to devices like Apple TV or Sonos),
and a 10-band equalizer.

10. PlayerPro
Again, PlayerPro has all of the standard premium music player features, so choosing it comes down to its interface. While most non-Material apps are ugly, PlayerPro’s unique design is both attractive and satisfying to use.
Special convenience features include
importing music history and ratings from desktop music players, custom
smart playlists, voice search and Google Now integration, and free
complementary plugins.

11. Pulsar
If you’re using an older device with outdated hardware, a lot of modern apps may frustrate you with lag and choppiness. Well, Pulsar strikes the perfect balance between a gorgeous appearance and lightweight performance.
It
comes at a price—a lack of big advanced features—but that doesn’t mean
Pulsar is barebones. You still get smart playlists, fast search, gapless
playback, and a built-in tag editor that works quite well. For the
5-band equalizer, bass booster, and reverb features, you’ll need to
upgrade to Pulsar Pro for $3.
