This is great.

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

[-] CallMeButtLove@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] Tiritibambix@lemmy.ml 1 points 21 hours ago

Thank you. I'll have a look

[-] semperverus@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

I like that. Creepiest thing about VLC is that it does that even after you've killed it

[-] CaffeinatedMoth@lemmy.zip 21 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] small44@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

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

[-] dRLY@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] young_broccoli@fedia.io 1 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] PeroBasta@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] FuryMaker@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Can it, or others mentioned in thread, stream from shared folder on local networks?

[-] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 2 days ago

Then there's me who installs VLC and calls it a day. I mean... It does the job perfectly fine.

[-] Stomata@buddyverse.one 6 points 2 days ago

I'm moving out of online music services so trying to find something good

[-] LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 1 day ago

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)

[-] joeldebruijn@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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:

  • it doesnt rescan automaticaly for added and removed music like a watchfolder.
  • No native dark mode yet, yes a ton of dark mode themes, but they all are geared to video and lacking the medialibrary with album browsing.

Bit indeed for Android its super.

[-] nicgentile@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

AIMP cause I can set the equalizer specifically for each song and auto switch when the song comes up.

[-] aliceblossom@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

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 😣

[-] seaplant@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

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

[-] aliceblossom@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Phonograph commits the same sin as every other player in that swipe changes tabs and is therefore a total waste of a premium gesture.

[-] swizzlestick@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] canyouck@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

I use Retro Music. What advantages would Symphony have?

[-] young_broccoli@fedia.io 4 points 2 days ago

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)

[-] 73kk13@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 days ago

I loved Pretty Good Music Player and am since then looking for a good FOSS folder based player. For now I'm using Foldplay.

[-] muhyb@programming.dev 3 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] voracread@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

It is really good. Seems to be abandoned now though?

[-] muhyb@programming.dev 2 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] Mettled@reddthat.com 2 points 2 days ago

It's too bad that the F-Droid releases are far behind. I do not install from Github to prevent against proprietary dependancies.

[-] naeap@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

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?

[-] Mettled@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] dRLY@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] technomad@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 days ago

Looks nice, but no album shuffle though 🤔

[-] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 days ago

Pretty nice one but requiring A9+ is not the best thing.
