[Android Apps and Games] Hana Lee:
Hi, guys! I want to introduce a new concept of music player app made by our team.

There are already a lot of music player apps in the Android app world, yet why did we add one more? The answer is so simple, we just want to make all music listeners’ ears happier including ourselves! I’ve been looking for the best Android music player which has a great sound quality for a long time and tried many apps. Some of them are decent and some are poor, but I couldn’t settle on one. Other team members were in similar situation and it led us to make a new one. Yes, our app contains the features we need and we think they are much useful to other music lovers too.

The first thing we focused on is customization of the sound for each song. All music has its own sound. The sound of each song is unique just like people's fingerprints. For properly conveying what a musician aim to articulate through the song he created, its sound characteristic must be expressed well. Yes, every song deserves to have a sound setting suitable for it! PlankTone Music Player meets this need by providing a Track Sound feature that enables you to individually adjust sound effects of each track. You can apply different Track EQs, Track Tones and Track Gains to each track, album or artist. It helps you to hear the underlying sounds optimized for the songs.

I'll let you know how to use Track Sound with screenshots.

Tone effect we offer is not same with other players’. It entirely changes sound characteristics of PlankTone, which let you enjoy the different sounds with one player. You can choose tones to fit songs or your taste. Now there are just two tones – original and vivid, but we will add new various tones soon.

Sound quality is another advantage. Its sound with Octopus Sound Engine made with a method of professional sound engineering provides the sound closest to the original on mobile. It transmits the vivid and rich tone of instruments and vocals without distortion, and expresses the dynamics fully with an appropriate balance of each frequency band. You can feel the strong dampening of the drums, delicate resonance and enough sustenance of various instruments, and the sweet low and clear high of the voices. The best thing is that our sound designer will continue to enhance PlankTone sound!

We also focused on usability to enhance user experience. We developed more convenient and sleek UI by combining an inventive and unique interface with a friendly surface of existing players. You can directly access to most features and easily move to most pages from the main player. You don't need to wonder where you can configure certain options, what page you're on, and how to move the page you want.
