Music is food for the soul and one must enjoy the smartphones that can playback good quality music. There are several music services and related applications that will engage you for days and weeks once you get into them.
This week we decided to highlight five unique music apps for Google Android owners. We have not included streaming and download apps in this list because we want to curate a separate list for them.
Check out the five must have apps for music lovers.
Poweramp
Poweramp has been our favorite music player for almost a year. It supports a large variety of music file formats and offers software equalization controls; a ten Band graphical equaliser to achieve the desired sound stage, and also to manipulate treble, bass, stereo X and other controls manually using sliders. Poweramp offers metatag editing and also downloads album art for files. 
Apart from creating playlists, the App allows adding songs to a temporary queue list. Poweramp for Android is meant for audiophiles and for others it is available as a time-bound trial.

SoundCloud is driven by the artist community and is meant for those who are always searching for fresh music. Independent music producers upload their music free for listening on SoundCloud and there are also several audio sounds as well as loops available. Apart from that, users can search for comic audio sounds. Several bloggers are using this platform to upload and share their podcasts. 
The millions of sound files include content uploaded by bands, producers, musicians and other audio enthusiasts. The app allows sharing tracks over Facebook and also suggests new audio for the user to discover.
