Just made an in-depth review of the most popular music players on Windows Phone 8.1. All tests were done on: 25-09-2014

Device used: Lumia 925 with Windows Phone 8.1+official cyan+Update 1.

Hope it helps!

Thanks! Will try to update the thread once or twice in a month. Also if you have any other music app suggestions, please let me know, will add to the list!

'Musictastic' and 'Find my music too' have been added. The thread has been updated. Excel file available either to download or preview online. That's all for today, good night!

Brilliant article - looks at my perennial need for Windows phone. However what about Nokia Mix Radio as it has a player built in.

Nice sheet, prebuss!
May I suggest adding another row, showing which players can play drm content (like the Xbox Music files)?

Cheers

Hi, thanks!
Will add the row someday as I don't have any DRM content on my phone at the moment :(

Brilliant article - looks at my perennial need for Windows phone. However what about Nokia Mix Radio as it has a player built in.
Thanks! Will add it in another update just for comparison as it neither performs really well nor has any special extra features apart from lyrics.

Again, thanks for the support everyone!

Thanks. I found zbox and I'm loving it. Changed from ModernMusic. MM randomly stop after few songs and I don't know why. It always occurs so I changed it to zbox. Yeah navigation on zbox is kinda buggy. When picking songs through the album then pick through the tracks, the last played song from the album will be shown rather than the one who is playing (i.e I picked Blurry through Come Clean album then picked Attack through the track list and Attack will play but Blurry is being shown). You need to close and reopen it.

Hello! This is a great comparison. Will try out zbox.

Currently I installed ModernMusic as it has got in built Last.fm scrobbling support but it doesn't seem to be recognizing the songs on my SD card while the default music player does. Can anyone help me out please?
