Well, I actually am more concerned about the sound quality & equalizer & other features balancing. My question was intended to that as because I never used any Samsung phone till now with Samsung music player.
Ah, okey. I have a Galaxy S4, and choosing between that two players, I prefer xperia music player app

Is Samsung music app better than Xperia music app? never used it. required an honest & unbiased opinion, no fanboy comment pls.
I'm using a Galaxy S8+... the Samsung music player was generally fine, no issues with features or sound quality, however it has the same limitation with playlists that Google Play has, in that they can't contain more than 1000 songs. This is an issue for me because I have a playlist that has survived with me for the past 10 years or so with every phone I've ever had. When I get a new album, I listen to it in its entirety, but it's very rare for me to like all of the songs on it. Typically I really like 1/3 of the songs, kind of like another 1/3, and don't ever want to hear the other 1/3 of the songs ever again.

So as I play the new albums, I put the songs I like into a playlist called "My Faves", and I listen to that on random when I want to listen to music in general.

Problem with the Samsung player is that it won't let me add more than 1000 songs, which I ran into last month. So I went looking for another solution, and found Xperia music, which has none of the Samsung player limitations, and also is able to utilize the onboard Galaxy sound ehnahcements like UHQ upscaler etc.

Sound quality wise and with respect to other functionality I find the 2 players to be pretty equal, but the silly 1000 song playlist limitation is a huge oversight IMO, and for that reason I've relegated the Samsung player to the recycle bin along with Google Play Music.

Cheers

thanks for the detailed reply. At this moment, my playlist is yet to reach 1000+ songs in lists so I was not aware of the limitation that you've pointed out. Being a SONY user for last 10+ years I always used & preferred Xperia Music (formerly knows as Walkman) app, & still using it (the modded universal app) in another device after I finally get off from the Xperia devices back since 2016. My only concern to ask this question about to know the difference between these two apps or any other music app with & in compared to Sony music app i.e. what's are the pros n cons & which is/are better than it. Precisely, I am more concern about the sound quality & clarity with equalizer & other sound enhancers features & management.

I have used samsung player on my xperia L once. It was rooted and i patched it with lucky patcher after doing some modifications but i dont know how i did it. It worked though. And it was pretty good for me.
That's why i asked people to port samsung player just the way xperia is ported with modifications in the apk file.
