Make your music sound the way you want.

An Android music player with six sound effects built in. Switch them on, put them in the order you like, and tune them until it sounds right — on your own songs, on internet radio and on YouTube alike.

The sound

Six effects. Your order. Saved.

Turn them on one at a time or all at once. Drag one up or down to change where it sits — the one at the top happens first, and the order genuinely changes how things sound. Worth playing with.

Every control is right there on the card. When you land on a combination you like, save it under a name and bring it back in a tap.

  • 01Dee — dial the bass, middle and treble up or down
  • 02AutoGain — brings up quiet songs without letting loud ones distort
  • 03Sonic Maximizer — opens out a recording that sounds flat or boxed in
  • 04Crystality — adds sparkle, space and a wider stereo feel
  • 05Equalizer — ten sliders to suit your ears or your headphones
  • 06Leveller — boost up quiet instruments

Your music

Point it at a folder. It finds everything.

Choose the folder your music lives in and HPlayer goes through the lot, reads the track names and builds the list for you — hundreds of songs without you lifting a finger.

  • Drag rows to put the queue in the order you want
  • Save playlists by name and load them back whenever
  • Shuffle plays everything once before anything repeats
  • Tracks with no name fall back to the file name, so nothing turns up blank
  • Every song shows what it is and the quality it was saved at
The Playlist screen showing hundreds of tracks with their lengths, each row with a remove button and a handle for dragging it up or down.
YouTube

YouTube, played in the player.

Search it, watch it, and keep listening when you leave the tab or turn the screen off. Nothing to sign in to and nothing to set up — and the effects work on it too.

  • Pick the picture quality, or switch to sound only to save data on a long listen
  • Comments and their replies, read without leaving the app
  • Related videos underneath, and a saved list kept on your phone
  • The sleep timer works here too, even with the app closed

Radio

Twenty-six genres of internet radio.

Thousands of stations from all over the world, sorted by genre. Star the ones you like and they sit in a Favourites card at the top — which opens even with no signal.

  • Starting a station leaves you in the list, so the next one is a tap away
  • Genres you have already opened still browse when you are offline
  • Switch effects on mid-song without interrupting the station
  • Going back to your own music picks up where you left off
The Radio screen showing a Favourites card followed by genre tiles: Pop, Rock, Dance, Electronic, Jazz, Blues, Classical, Country, Hip Hop, Metal, Reggae, Soul, Funk, Indie and Oldies.
The rest of it

Built to be left running.

Screen off
Keeps playing when you lock your phone, with the controls sitting in your notifications.An incoming call pauses it, and it picks up again afterwards on its own.
Sleep timer
Ten minutes up to two hours. It keeps counting even if you close the app, so it will still stop the music once you are asleep.
Picks up where you left off
Your queue, the spot you were up to, the volume, your playlists, your effects and your starred stations all come back exactly as you left them.
Plays
MP3, AAC, FLAC and M4A files, plus internet radio streams and YouTube.
Private
No account to make, nothing tracked, no advertising. Your saved videos and starred stations stay on your phone.
Version 1.0

Take it for a listen.

One file, 17.2 MB. No account to make, nothing to set up.

Installing it. This is an APK rather than a Play Store listing, so the first time you open it Android will ask you to allow installs from whichever app you downloaded it with — your browser or your file manager. Allow it once and the install goes ahead as normal.
