About Poweramp
Poweramp plays a music library stored on an Android device, along with http and m3u radio streams. It handles MP3, FLAC, ALAC, WAV, APE, DSD, WV and other formats, and supports gapless playback, crossfade and replay gain.
The equalizer has parametric and graphic modes, a preamp and per-output presets. Hi-Res output and a USB exclusive mode for external DACs bypass Android's mixer. It also offers folder and library views, smart playlists, tag editing, album art downloads, themes, skins and visualizations.
