About this app

Neutron Player is an advanced music player with an audiophile-grade platform-independent in-house developed 32/64-bit audio engine which does not rely on the OS music player API and thus delivers truly unique experience to you.

* It outputs hi-res audio directly to the internal DAC (including USB DAC) and offers a rich set of DSP effects.

* It is the only application capable of sending audio data to the network renderers (UPnP/DLNA, Chromecast) with all DSP effects applied, including the gapless playback.

* It features a unique PCM to DSD real-time conversion mode (if supported by DAC), so you can play your favorite music in DSD resolution.

* It offers the sophisticated user interface with an advanced media library functionality that is appreciated by audiophiles and music lovers from all parts of our world!

The hot fix worked. This truly is an amazing app with many great features, responsive devs, tons of customization, it's kind of like the equivalent of those people who won't shut up about how good vinyl sound vs digital, (but Neutron in a much better/non-annoying way.) The only feature I wish was different was that the limiter was independent of the compressor to allow for a little more control. Even so, with this app you will want for very little and none other compare.

2.23.7 NMP update caused massive license check failure on Android devices (not all though). Google Play just released 2.23.9 update with a hot-fix, please check if update is rolled out for your device. If not, you can download and install 2.23.9 manually from Neutron's web site: https://neutroncode.com/downloads/category/2-google-play

This is the best music player I have ever used, even anything I use to use on any PC, I ❤️ it. The only problem is Google. No, it is not Neutron. You have to add back all your music since Google and android updates. See Neutron Faqs in help. There is every possible way to change and play your 🎶. I have used this app for many years now. Keep up the great work.

Absolutely the best music player ever, period! PS: It's been more than a week since Neutron stop recognizing lots of my music. Now half of my albums are missing from the player. I had to download another player to listen to my music. I tried everything (empty the library, re scanning again, etc) with the same results. Is frustrating, since i've been using this app for 10 years just because it used to be the very best. Hope someone help me with this issue...

What's new

* New:
- Pseudo-stereo DSP effect: Creates a pseudo-stereo (fake stereo) effect from mono sources (mono/1-channel tracks only). Manage by profile, accessible via Playback -> DSP Effect -> Pseudo-stereo
* Improved overall performance
! Fixed:
- Category Widget not showing up when pressing the 3-dot button in the Media Library screen (bottom left corner)
- Occasional ANRs (Application Not Responding) when the app tries to connect to the network while opening the UI
