I recently stopped using Spotify and other music streaming platforms. And I downloaded all my music. But I am not able to find a “good” music player for me.
I have tried VLC, PixelPlayerOSS, Musicolet, and Felicity so far.
Recommend me a music player.
Edit: the main feature I would like in my music player is automatic lyrics search
Pulsar+
Neatly ordering stuff how I want it to.
I use Vanilla Music.

It’s fine for my purposes. I don’t know what functionality you’re missing with these other programs, though, so hard to say if it meets your needs.
I want my music player to be able to search lyrics.
PixelPlayer has lyrics search and is MaterialYou themed.
Poweramp is nice (and a paid application) but it’s russian so it may not appeal to everyone.
Because of the spyware?
VLC has been great on graphene for a year or so but recently started having issues playing over bluetooth in my car. Tried a few open source options from FDroid but wound up going back to Omnia (Sandboxed play store) for now. No more playback issue for a few days now.
Seemed to happen when I got Graphene’s Android 17 update, but I can’t say for sure it was that. The issue I have with it currently is that playback audio cuts out in the car, but the screen still indicates it’s “playing” - track time still ticking. I’d have to tap to pause and tap to resume to bring it back, and it would only last a few minutes before doing it again.
I think it’s likely less VLC’s fault and more likely an Android 17 thing.
The open source apps I tried worked a peach, but didn’t let me use the car’s (Honda) menu to browse music or select albums. Most of the ones I tried didn’t even appear as options while trying to use the car to change what music I was listening to.
i use it to play my offline files using smart playlists (all songs in rock or metal genre rated 4 stars or higher by me). it also has a view lyrics option that will either display the lyrics from the files’ lyrics tag or search them in a lyrics search service. it’s not free but i’ve more than gotten my money’s worth out of it
I self-host my music with Navidrome, play it with Tempus on Android.
This is the way.
Have you used Tempo? Is Tempus better in your opinion?
I have. Tempo is a bit abandoned. Tempus has momentum and android auto support.
Musicolet
MUSICOLET RELEASE OR LET ME PAY FOR SOURCE CODE ACCESS AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!
Seriously tho even with gramophone being super close to perfect for me, musicolet just is perfect
Yeah it’s been the best music player I’ve ever used for something like 10 years now
Plexamp.
VLC for local, Murglar for streaming because it allows me to save music locally.
Just VLC. I don’t stream music and most of the stuff I listen to have no lyrics so it works fine as-is
VLC
Auxio
AIMP is pretty good. I’m not audiophile tho.
Auxio for local music, Morphe for YT and YT Music w/o ads. YTDLnis to download songs and videos.
