What Have You Done To Your Cellphone To Make The Sound Better, Especially Music?

[sage2021]

Dolby Atmos came already installed on my new Motorola phone. 📱

What a huge difference this app has made when listening to my music! 🎶
Now my phone doesn't sound like a cheap transistor radio from the 60's anymore. 👍🏼

My cell phone is an antique piece of equipment that is well over 10 years of age and that has been handed down from a family member as a replacement for my morecthan 20 year old cell phone that I needed to dispose of. Not because it did no longer work but because the 2G cell phone network was decommissioned late last year. Otherwise, I would still use it nowadays.

In terms of sound quality, there is not much I can do to improve it because it does not contain any gadgets and gizmos that would allow me to tweak it.

Also, I seldom use my smartphone altogether except for phone calls, no texts or anything else and no earphones because I simply find using them way too dangerous when in traffic.

The only way for me to listen to music is over my stereo at home. I never use any streaming service because of data protection issues.

With what device are you typing this

[Sunrising]

SueShe 10 years ago I was using an old mobile, TV, computer, stereo etc, and someone suggested I needed to upgrade my technology, because I was missing out on so much.
I took the advice and I was very pleased with my larger TV and latest mobile, with my dated equipment consigned for recycling.
Let me be the person to tell you to upgrade your technology.

[SueShe]

@Sunrising I was brought up to use the stuff I have and not to dispose of it simply because there is newer one on the market. I use my things till they don't work and then only will I consider buying something new as a replacement.

[Sunrising]

Me too!
But sometimes you need to move with the times. 🙂

[Shrimpenjoyer]

I really just let it roll like this, though I have downloaded a app that can make it loud as hell.

[sage2021]

@Shrimpenjoyer

Are you going to share which app you installed? Please?

[Shrimpenjoyer]

Sure

It's this play.google.com/.../details

[Shrimpenjoyer]

Did you try the app?

[sage2021]

@Shrimpenjoyer

Yep and I took it off because it changed my entire home screen and I didn't like it.

[Shrimpenjoyer]

Weird, it didn't happen to me

[FunkyMonkee]

Turned it up!

@FunkyMonkee
Hehehe... I already have it on BLAST!!

Do you remember the band 'Mountain'? I bought their vinyl record album in high school. On the front of the alarm cover at the bottom it said "This album is meant to be played loud"!!

I miss sitting on my bed and listening to my Rock-'n'-roll music 🎸 🎶 with my big headphones 🎧 on. They were definitely in stereo and each side had its own little knob to control the volume.

What a rush to listen to songs like Inagadadivida in stereo with headphones on loud. The sound would sworm around inside of my head from one side to the other side really fast.

When you're a teenager all of that new technology was so cool 😎 back then.

[FunkyMonkee]

I sure do! I have all of their albums EXCEPT, "Climbing". I could just never find oner!

I DO have their Woodstock performance and they beat the hell out of the P. A. system there!! Right after Canned Heat cooked it!

Here's one you might like. On this one, in the middle, the sound travels completely around your head!! I'm not sure how they were able to get a quad sound from a stereo record with stereo equipment but, the did it!

@FunkyMonkee
WOW! 😳 I was watching and listening to it on my cellphone and even though it only has one speaker, I felt like the sound was coming from all different parts of my phone! Incredible! I loved how the piano 🎹 and the flute (?) came easing in towards the end. I wasn't expecting that at all. Very cool! 👍🏼😎

[sage2021]

@FunkyMonkee

Hehehe... that's the only album I had of them - Climbing!!! 😂

[sage2021]

@FunkyMonkee

I recognized it right away! 😂

@FunkyMonkee

My favorite song on the album 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼

[sage2021]

@FunkyMonkee

I just listened to the song again - Yasgur's Farm and I still remember all of the words and every pick of the guitar 🎸. I used to play air drums to this song while wearing my headphones 🎧 at age 15.
I still had the vinyl record album until 2015 when my life fell apart and I lost my apartment and everything inside it, including my entire vinyl record album collection!😞

[FunkyMonkee]

Glad you liked it!
"Flute" was actually a mellotron.
As far as I'm concerned, that was the best album they ever did. They have 40 or 50 of them. There's only 4 songs on it and not a single one is bad!

[FunkyMonkee]

If I remember correctly, they did that song at Woodstock.

[FunkyMonkee]

My life fell apart 6 years ago but, at least I was able to rescue all of my albums and 45's but I lost about 2000 of my 78's!! Half of them, I never even got the chance to listen to!

[sage2021]

@FunkyMonkee

The song that is my favorite song on the album is called Yasgur's Farm.
That's the name of the Farm owned by a man named Yasgur.
That's where Woodstock was held - at Yasgur's Farm and on his property.

If I had known you before I lost my entire record album collection, I would have sent you my own album "Climbing" delivered by FedEx on ice! 🙂

Thank you for sending me the tunes!! ✌🏼☮️

No problem. I love sharing music with people. I wish I could get on radio to do it!! I've been trying since the `70's and no one will hire me!!

My favorite band - Santana!
😍
Did I ever tell you about my personal experience with Mike Shrieve the drummer?
It was in San Francisco. I'll tell you about it if you want me to.
I had a huge crush 🥰 on him when I was 15 and that's also when I had a personal experience with him.
Please let me know okay? 👍🏼

[FunkyMonkee]

I have done nothing to improve my Samsung mobile sound, though I thought the sound was ok, and I've never thought the sound could be improved in any way.

But I've never been too particular about the music quality, and I've been happy with what I've been given.

Thank you for the suggestion, I'm now curious about the App, and I will check it out in the future.

I was thinking of using earphones while cycling, otherwise I rarely use my mobile for music, or YouTube etc.

I use my TV set for the radio and for my Music App, though perhaps these could be improved with your App?

[PolarPoint]

I haven't downloaded an app to listen some qualite more music. You enlighted me really

[AviatorTom]

Nada. I don't use my phone to listen to music That's what my computer, with real audio speakers attached, is for.

[exitseven]

I have a Bose bluetooth speaker I use to stream music.

[TonyMetal___86]

The sound on my cell phone is good but sometimes i connect it ti bluetooth speaker to enjoy my music more 🙂

[najekim]

I only use the phone for music when I'm in the office or through the infotainment system in our vehicle.

[NathanDavis]

I rather play on speakers... not the phone

[Dargil]

Play it into a Bluetooth speaker system.
