How to Play Google Drive Music with an Equalizer on iPhone

4 min read · iPhone · iPad · Mac

Not every track sounds its best straight out of the box — some need a little more bass, others a brighter top end. If your music lives in Google Drive, you can shape every song exactly the way you like it with a built-in equalizer. Here's how to play your Google Drive music with an equalizer on your iPhone, iPad or Mac using GoPlayer, the dedicated Google Drive music player.

What you'll need

Step-by-step: play Google Drive music with an equalizer

  1. Install GoPlayer and connect your Google Drive. Download GoPlayer free from the App Store, open the Network section, choose Google Drive and sign in on Google's official page. GoPlayer only keeps a secure token on your device — your password is never stored.
  2. Play any track. Browse your Google Drive library and tap a song to start playback.
  3. Open the Audio Player screen. Tap the now-playing bar to expand the full Audio Player, where all the playback controls live.
  4. Tap the Equalizer icon. Find the Equalizer icon at the bottom of the Audio Player screen and tap it to open the equalizer.
  5. Turn the equalizer on. Flip the equalizer switch on to activate sound shaping for your playback.
  6. Pick a preset or fine-tune the bands. Choose a ready-made preset like Rock, Pop, Jazz or Bass Booster, or drag the individual band sliders to fine-tune bass, midrange and treble until it sounds just right.

Tip: Want a fuller low end? Switch on the Bass Booster preset for an instant boost, then nudge the lowest sliders up a little more for extra punch. Your equalizer settings apply to all of your Google Drive playback, so you only have to set them once.

Why use an equalizer?

An equalizer lets you tailor your Google Drive music to your headphones, speakers and taste — warming up thin recordings, taming harsh highs or adding weight to the bass. It's the easiest way to get a bigger, cleaner sound from your library, and it pairs perfectly with GoPlayer's offline downloads, sleep timer and background playback.
