Does anyone know something similar but this time for my navidrome online music ?

Symfonium has been amazing! I don't know if it's open source but with navidrome, symfonium, and wireguard I've got all my music wherever I go.
Thank you. I'll have a look
Auxio is excellent. Has the UI I've been looking for for ages, can shuffle by genre, great queue system, etc.
Only part i dont like is that it has an unskippable modal at startup where it scans your library instead of doing this as an invisible async step in the background and displaying what it has as it gets it.
I like that. Creepiest thing about VLC is that it does that even after you've killed it
Musicolet has been my "go-to" offline music player after searching for a few years. It can handle big libraries, shows album art, has different shuffle options, and more.
The way you can switch between albums and playlists without losing the last position is amazing and I don't understand why not all players has it
That sounds awesome! I might have to try that out for my archived podcast eps or audiobooks that aren't in an audiobook with chapters format already. Shit is annoying to lose my place just because I had friends in the car and needed to put on music.
Musicolet is awesome but I wish its UI were more fancy.
Now if I just had a phone with 2tb of storage, then I could store my flac library.
I got 6 months ago a s20ultra because spec wise was basically the same of a s24u for my use, i can buy a 2tb micro SD for 200€ if i want to.
As someone who worked in the restaurant industry this name made me shutter.
Can it, or others mentioned in thread, stream from shared folder on local networks?
Then there's me who installs VLC and calls it a day. I mean... It does the job perfectly fine.
I'm moving out of online music services so trying to find something good
Unrelated: I'm not sure how, but you seem to have -1 downvotes...
VLC is awesome. Rcently started getting frequent updates too.
MPV is another nice one. Tried it out recently. The user script option seems very cool: SkipSilence, SkipChapters etc.
VLC for vids and audio I want to watch normally and MPV for ones where I want SkipSilence(Got used to that feature thanks to Newpipe and Pipepipe)
Off topic slightly but for music VLC for Android is even better compared to its desktop sibling for the same purpose. I mean VLC for desktop will play anything and I dont deny how powerfull it is but afaik:
Bit indeed for Android its super.
AIMP cause I can set the equalizer specifically for each song and auto switch when the song comes up.
I went into the offline mobile music player rabbit hole recently too. I tried like a dozen and personally I think none of them are sufficient, including Symphony.
The most important functionality for me is queuing e.g. how it works and how easy it is to use and it's just a horrible experience for virtually every player. So disappointing 😣
I've been happy with Phonograph for queueing, nothing special but it seems very easy to use to me. Looks like tons of good recommendations on this thread I haven't tried out tho, definitely might be something better out there
Phonograph commits the same sin as every other player in that swipe changes tabs and is therefore a total waste of a premium gesture.
New thing to try then.
I bought the premium version of Poweramp years ago - it has done very well but I'm always open to options.
I use Retro Music. What advantages would Symphony have?
Doesnt sort in alphabetical order correctly (aka ignoring words like "the" at the begining of of artists names) even tho all my music has sorting tags and it doesnt show every album art, for some reason, even tho all my music has album art embeded :c
The ui is pretty, like most forks of metroplayer, but I will stay with Gonemad (although not foss :c)
I loved Pretty Good Music Player and am since then looking for a good FOSS folder based player. For now I'm using Foldplay.
My favourite is SicMu Player. The name sucks but it's the best and lightweight folder base music player for me. Quite customizable as well.
It is really good. Seems to be abandoned now though?
Last version update is from 30 March 2023. It doesn't follow Android UI and has its own, works without a problem. I see no problem here, as long as it works. At least for Android 14, should be fine for 15 too.
It's too bad that the F-Droid releases are far behind. I do not install from Github to prevent against proprietary dependancies.
I'm not sure, if I can follow
Aren't the dependencies for the app (hopefully - as it's the same code) completely the same, no matter how I install it?
With GitHub (apk releases) the only difference would be, that you'll need to keep an eye on updates yourself
Or do I miss something here?
Anything released on Github has no code requirements or restrictions, that is why some people do reproducible builds of software, to verify is has 100% functionality of a binary release. Any app from F-Droid is repoducible.
Not the person you were replying to, but you can use Obtainium to check for and install updates from the github releases in a similar way to F-droid.
Looks nice, but no album shuffle though 🤔
Pretty nice one but requiring A9+ is not the best thing.
