About

EqualizeMusic

Features
Read full description

This app is the minimal version of a player with a 10-band equalizer. For reasons of simplification, it only contains the functions that are absolutely necessary for the player and equalizer. 
 With the app you can
 ・ create playlists from the music files stored on the device or in cloud storage. The tracks are saved in the sandbox and can therefore also be played offline. To use a specific cloud storage, the corresponding app must be activated. ・ define individual equalizer settings for the individual tracks. 
 ・ make a default setting for the individual playlists.
 ・ use a switch to determine whether the playlists are played with the individual EQ settings of the tracks or with the playlist preset.
