'm looking for a basic music player for PC- something with a good queue system like Musicolet and easy playlist management. Right now, I use Foobar, but maybe due to my customizations, I can't properly set up queues, and most resources I've found about it are over 10 years old.

I don't want to use Plex since I'm not interested in paying for a license. I did try Jellyfin, but also want to have an offline copy of my library on my phone. Unfortunately, the player I used with Jellyfin behaved strangely-it felt like it was made primarily for streaming, and downloading was more of an afterthought.

Right now, I've just set up an FTP server on my phone, copy files from my PC, and use Musicolet which works for now because my collection is pretty small (30 GB MP3s 320/kb). Maybe there's a better way to use Jellyfin for offline playback, or perhaps I should just use two different players on my devices. I do like Musicolet, but I haven't found a good player for PC yet

To play from my local library. It would be good if I don't have to remake my playlists when I switch between devices

I don't need a lot of features, I don't use EQ as well. I just want something that easy to use and preferably ad free

Im looking for a good portable music player, im so tired of paying subscriptions so i wanted to try and get a portable music player but i don’t know which one it’s the best

I've been using the VLC app for years and it is not cutting it. I want to be able to edit track information, create playlists, have all my albums and songs neatly organized, as well as some nice playback options, maybe even a visualizer. I don't care how much it costs. What is the best app out there for this?

I have never seen such conflicting studies. Some say Groove is better cuz its newer, less bugs, and will be updated more frequently. Others say VLC is still king as it can run more format and even some corrupted formats to some degree. Some sources says there is no difference and other say we have to look at the codex or something.

Should there be a more concert answer to this, we are dealing with 1s and 0s after all how can their be so many conflicting opinions on quality. I mainly want to focus on audio quality so if someone can help me navigate this mess that would be great.

Over the next 1-2 months I want to use lots of different music players for the sole purpose of finding the 'best' ones. If you have any suggestions, especially ones I don't have already, please comment them. Looking for music players (so .mp3 and .flac players). In a while, I will report back with details on each app.

FOSS is not a requirement, but being free is.

Life's been rough since my all time favorite music player app BlackPlayer EX Became officially broken and unfixable in the past few months.

So far After trying out all of the top options from the play store I have only found two that I like and neither of them are perfect: Oto Music+ & Musicolet.

Oto is damn you're perfect other than the way it's queue behaves...

Musicolet is fine Pin functions pretty well but I personally don't like the interface, I find it to be cluttered and even though the app is straightforward/simple I find using it to be tedious.

Do y'all have any suggestions for me?

(Please don't suggest Poweramp or Pulsar Pro; the former has way too much going on for me personally and the latter - to put it simply - is overrated and has an Inherently flawed interface IMO)

Really only looking for paid or open source apps here... Reason for that being the Google play store is riddled with terrible music players that have “mp3“ Or something similar in the title.

What's the best Music player for Android?

To play from my local collection. Requirements are to play lyrics files with a good UI.

Tried PixelPlay but it has many bugs. And I used to use samsung music, but now the ui looks like to have a redesign.

So whats the best thing available, and ofc for free

I have approximately 29k songs locally about 8k are private mixes I've done personally. Samsung Music won't shuffle / list more than 20k. Are there any that could support such a huge library without ads

no ads no in app purchases or anything. I just want a customisable, nice looking audio player that supports selecting folders and something that isn't poweramp or musicolet!!! or anything that's material you 🤢🤢🤢

I dont use apps Like Spotify and I rather have all my Music Locally stored in my device, what are the best local music players for android?

I have a FiiO JM21 and a Fii0M7(that I absolutely despise but that's for another post). I'm looking for music player recommendations for local music library. I am not a fan of the FiiO music player that is built in and I've been searching this sub for a while and most if not all posts are on the unit recommendations themselves and not just on the players.
What is everyone using and WHY?
What made you land on/stay with that player you're using? Again, I'm not talking the DAP itself but the app you use to listen to your local library.

TIA!

I love my iPhone 15 standard but listening to music with my AirPods 4 something just tends to fall short in terms of audio quality or depth

I’m not a huge audiophile but I can still tell that the audio feels flat and boring. I like having dedicated systems for certain tasks such as my 3ds and psp for portable gaming since my phone isn’t great at it

I was curious if I should get a high quality dedicated portable music player for better music listening on the go, if so are there specific recommendations?

I love Namida and Sony music player app

Oto Music

i tested almost all music players but this is the best minimal, beautiful, well designed elements and everything is on the right place (my opinion) , and developer is adding new features with every update

What ap do you use to listen to your music library on your android phone? I'm looking for something simple that can play a wide variety of files. I don't need a bunch of extra fluff features, just to be able to access my full library.

IDK if this is a good subreddit to ask this, but I figured pirates are fellow people who don't rely on streaming and have the same wide variety of file types. Thanks

I'm trying to find an mp3 player or digital audio player that can play music and maybe podcasts. I saw some have an fm radio which is cool but not a requirement.
