Best Android Music player?

General Discussion
1

Despite streaming being more popular, I am a weirdo that just gets the music files into my phone and listen offline like if it was 2009.

I currently use foobar2000 on my phone since the defeault music player is crap. It’s very serviceable but I was wondering if anyone has any other (free) choice. Since I am used to iTunes to keep my collection nice and tidy I was looking for something that visually nice and that let me keep my albums ordered by Artist alphabetical + album date

Has anyone any suggestions on this?

I use Musicolet which is probably the best free music player for android. It has no ads and plenty of customization options.

I’ve used Poweramp (w/ Pro) since 2012 and it’s still my favorite player. I know the v3 interface is on the main branch now and it looks pretty sleek imo.

I’ve heard BlackPlayer is a good alternative.

When I used android I used Blackplayer and loved it. The paid version is worth it. These days in the apple ecosystem I just use their regular music app, kinda have to, and convert flac to alac since apple doesn’t support flac. Even with that burden I still don’t think I’d ever go back to Android. :thinking:

I was excited to try musicolet the day before opening this thread as it looked live a very definitive solution but it didn’t click for me. I have given it a second try and the interface still does not convince me… But I was impressed by the options. My main issue is the menu being a bit too low on the screen and quite bloated and not very intuitive imo.

Thanks everyone! I will look into your other suggestions as well.

Another vote for Black Player EX, it’s a one time purchase and then you have all the customization your heart desires.

I use the FiiO app, I have a couple of FiiO devices so I just use their player. No real issue and they are active with feedbacks

Poweramp is the best imo especially aesthetically as you can customize artist art as well as pretty much anything else. I used to use shuttle but with the android update it no longer allowed me to make playlists and poweramp was the only good replacement I could find.

They changed the menu layout recently. I’m not the biggest fan of it either but I still like the customizability of the app.

I use AIMP on PC, it’s really cool.

Does anyone know of a good music player that also scrobbles?
Or of a better scrobbler than PanoScrobbler?
I used to use SimpleScrobbler in the past, since it had a proper cache function where I could save my scrobbles and manually scrobble them whenever I wanted.
I really, really miss that feature on Pano :confused:
