Quote: Agreed for all points except the MX video player.  I haven't tried it yet, but thanks for the recommendation.  I have been using QQPlayer.  It's good...seems to play everything like VLC player does for the PC.  

I did not care for the four band EQ in Neutron, but other than that it did sound good and had a decent UI...no Android application is 100% in that department in my opinion.  What ultimately killed Neutron for me, and I really wanted to like it, was that it did not handle loud volume very well. ...

Quote:   I had a problem with this too with my Samsung Galaxy Player 5.  It really pissed my off, but ultimately I figured out that I had to set PowerAmp's Audio Thread Priority to "highest" under the Advanced Tweaks settings.  That cured the skipping.  I thought tweaking the buffer in...

That Pantec looks slick.  I like the dual core and full gig of RAM.  My Samsung SGP 5 has a single core and only about 340MB of RAM, though it is far from sluggish.  As long as you had full access to the Android market and it allows you to load third-party apps, then I would say go for it. 

I have not used PlayerPro or UberMusic, but I have A-B tested PowerAmp against Neutron and Rockbox.  With my Samsung SGP 5.0.  For free you cannot beat Rockbox. Get a copy here:   http://rasher.dk/rockbox/android/   For a polished app with potential, PowerAmp is hard to beat.  It is not...

Quote: Ah...I didn't think to look and see who was singing.  I though Billy did all the vocals...James Iha did Farewell and Goodnight on that album as well.  I guess it is official, I don't like his vocals : )

Minor update...I do not know if this is a bug or a feature, but the FF and RW graphical buttons do not skip to the next song.  If I hold, they do FF and RW, would like to have dual use buttons or more buttons to manipulate the songs.  I can go into the track list by touching the album art and...

The 800x480 and the 480x800 (best with my setup) versions run well on my Samsung Galaxy Player 5 unrooted running Gingerbread 2.3.5.  First thoughts is that Rockbox is far superior than the stock player software that was included with the player for sound quality.  With no EQ applied and zero...

I finally broke down and bought Mellon Collie after only owning a few singles forever.  I have to say it is a great album overall, sure there are some stinkers in there...which were almost every song Billy tries to sing sweet - Cupid De Locke (sappy), Take me Down (sounds like Big Bird from...

The stock audio software on the SGP is not all that great.  It is super simple to use, but at volumes 50% and above it sounds rather muddy.  I have tested Neutron and PowerAMP and either one is far superior to the stock software for sound quality.  PowerAMP is probably the best polished software...

Yes evilhippie please link the information that confirms that the SGP 5.0 and 4.0 both use the Wolfson WM8994 DAC. I have not seen anything confirming this yet, I would love to see if anyone has torn a 5.0 apart or has full manufacturer specs.   Here is the last info I saw regarding the DACs...

Did anyone like the Zeitgeist album?  Rather sad that all I have is Siamese Dream and Zeitgeist and a handful of singles.  I thought Billy's vocals in Zeitgeist were rather flat and unenthusiastic.  What album would you recommend next for someone who loves Siamese Dream?    

I got the 5.0 for Christmas.  Gadget wise it is cool, but sound wise the default music player software is not the greatest at high volumes which is necessary to play in the car.  Sounds good with IEMs at moderate volumes.  Soon I will get PowerAmp in hopes that it will improve the sound at...

The entire Siamese Dream album kicks ass.  My favorite Smashing Pumpkins song though is 1979.

They did a great job with their recording.  Sounds like studio sound.
