iPhone: We've seen plenty music apps for iOSthat pull music from your Dropbox account, but Jukebox sets itself apart by offering an offline mode alongside a free price tag.

Whether you have vinyl records handed down to you, you're a chart-topping DJ or you're getting into vinyl for the first time, you're going to need a decent record player. One that's reliable, durable and easy to maintain. Here are five of the best.

Android (4.0+, Rooted): We've highlighted several useful Android music players, but one big drawback to most of them is that they can't access or play music stored at Google Play Music. GMusicFS breaks down that wall and lets just about any Android player access all the tunes you have stored in the cloud.

Android: Whether you want a music player that's just fun and easy to use, or you want one that gives you control over how your music sounds when you play it, FlipBeats is a new Android player that's worth a look. The EQ options in the advanced settings and preset choices in the basic settings are fun to tweak and play with.

Good news, everyone! Winamp, one of the internet's favourite music players, will live to see another day. The program has been bought by digital audio company Radionomy.

Everyone has a favourite desktop music player. For some of us, it's the one that plays our music fast, with no fuss or hassle. For others it's a tool that organises your playlists, syncs with your smartphone, makes your music collection easy to dig through, and looks good while doing it. This week we're going to look at five of the best desktop music players, based on your nominations.

Android: Music Player (Remix) is one of the most feature-rich music players we've ever seen. The app features a swipe-up "now playing" widget you can access from anywhere on your phone, an in-app Wikipedia browser for music info, multiple library views and playback position bookmarks.

Some apps are essential and everyone who's anyone knows to have them on their computer. Some apps, however, are fantastic yet fly under the radar. Today, we look at our top 10 underhyped apps for Mac.

Mac: The Hype Machine is a great way to discover new music. Hypegram for Mac brings the site, its playlists and your saved songs to your desktop.

iOS: Throwing your music into shuffle mode is useful when you're not sure what you want to listen to, but doing so prevents you from keeping albums grouped together. TuneTangler is a simple app that shuffles albums rather than songs.

Chrome: If you bounce between a lot of different music services then chances are you've got a tab open in Chrome to one of them all day long. Unity Music Media Keys is a Chrome extension that makes that experience better by offering quick push button controls and support for Apple's keyboard media keys.

Android: The feature-filled n7player music player is on sale from its usual $3 today, down to $0.99 in honour of its one millionth download.

iOS: Apple's Genius does a good job at suggesting songs that you might like based on your ratings, but Groove is a music player that does the work for you. All you have to do is listen to your music, and the app takes over from there. It'll build custom playlists based on what you like, act like a personal DJ, automatically tag your tunes, download album art for you and more.

iOS: The stock music player in iOS is functional, but it definitely has room for improvement, especially in the looks department. Track 8 is an alternative player that takes a few design cues from the Windows 8 Metro UI, and manages to be elegant, attractive and fun to use.

iOS: The popular music tagging app Shazam has released a new music player called Shazam Player for iOS. Using your pre-existing iTunes music library on your device, it finds streaming lyrics and offers social sharing options.

Android: Previously mentioned Winamp for Android already a great music player, mostly due to being free, being snappy and having Wi-Fi sync. Now its streaming music support is getting beefed up with more SHOUTcast stations, a better streaming engine, and free full-length CD streaming.

Dear Lifehacker, I am an iPod user from way back, and have just recently purchased an Android phone. I still manage all my music and podcast downloads through iTunes as I still have an iPod. Anyone who uses iPods or iPhones will know that they have a nifty ability to remember the exact position in a podcast, even if you begin to play something else. To date, I have been unable to reproduce this effect on an Android device without having to use a completely different piece of software to manage and download my podcasts. Is there an app that can achieve this? Thanks, Restarted
