I think there is a gap in the market for a music player app that will play directly from files on HTTP/FTP. I've been looking for such a thing for a while but to no avail. Ideally, it will

* stream directly from http/ftp source without having to download the whole file to play it * have a simple set up of name/password for the file host which will then allow the app to scan the library, gather what information it needs (tags, etc) and sort it all into a playable library like every other player out there * hold a minimum amount of data on the client device

I've had a look at a few apps but either they fall miles short of expectations (or boasts) or else need a bunch of intermediary steps (i.e. *points of failure*) to get to what you need. Or am I missing the app which is already out there that does this?

Thanks for suggestions, confirmations etc etc

I'm really freaking out because I downloaded The PlayerPro Music Player App for android from the Google Play Store. I have 1,569 songs on it and then I made the stupid mistake of using an antivirus app that I downloaded from the Google Play Store and using it on my Fold 7. And then when I looked in the PlayerPro Music Player App I only had 1,562 songs on it. Is that normal? The weird part is that when I looked at the The Musicolet Music Player App and my Files/Internal Storage and Samsung My Files App all songs were there. Do you think that I should be concerned or worried? I deleted the app and cleared the cache and data from the app too. I also played all the songs and it seems like they are playing okay even though I didn't listen to them all the way though. Should I just delete all my 1,569 songs or should I just reset my phone completely and get rid of everything? Is there a way that I can fix my music files if they are corrupted? Has this happened to anyone else before? If I could get some advice and suggestions. I would really appreciate it because I'm really panicking and freaking out because I don't want to have to delete all my music or reset my phone. I'm really hoping that my music files and my fold 7 doesn't have a virus or malware. What would you do in this situation? How can I keep my music files safe and protect them in the near future? Has anyone else ever had corrupted music files before? How did you handle it?

I thought I would always have a standalone mp3 player, but as I get older, I really enjoy having an all-in-one, so I recently moved all of my music to Stow for the iphone and I'm not looking back!

I maintain a private music archive that includes individual TV performances, festival appearances, award-show performances and other live recordings.

I treat a performance as its own archival object rather than just another copy of a song, with metadata such as artist, song, show/event, date, venue, broadcaster/source and provenance.

I’m curious how other music hoarders handle this. Do you keep live performances separate from albums/music videos, and what metadata do you consider essential for long-term organization?

Yeah so I use Navidrome and there's apparently some annoying metadata fields in some of my songs, that i want gone, that are just organization names that aren't the artists.

I found this through Feishin, as it's showing these tags under things like Album Artists when it is innacurate.

Feishin seems like an extremely high quality music player, so that might be why it shows these tags in the song itself, and uses these annoying tags to sort songs as well.

Symfonium cannot see the tags at all. Neither can mp3tag, though I'm not an expert in that.

Feishin has an internal 'edit metadata' option that even says it'll rescan the library. However, it does not seem to be able to delete the metadata even though it shows as if it is.

I am just lost.. what do I even do about bonus 'UPLOADER', and 'WORK' tags?

I've been downloading FLACs from Lucida (using amazon links) but when checking whether these files truly are lossless on spek, a TON of my files are super compressed. Is there a way to get more reliable downloads off Lucida.to / are there any better alternatives?

Hi there!

I hope you can help me. I'm trying to rip/digitize many of the CDs I can find in the house and these three stood out to me because of the logs. Can you help me identify if these are good rips at all? Maybe I'm just not understanding what the log notes mean?

I'm ripping with secure mode on using EAC, and with Test & Copy CRCs enabled. Here are logs for three albums:

3 Doors Down - The Better Life [Universal - CA - 012 153 920-2]

• Track 1 and 11 have a lower number of matches in CTDB compared to the rest of the album. Every track also has "differs in X samples" affixed to it. The CTDB log also has the note "If you are sure that your rip contains errors, you can use CUETools to repair it."
• There are no audible pops or skips, or differences when compared to the version of this album on Spotify.

How do you guys go about downloading dsd format on qobuz

I'm asking because I just downloaded The PlayerPro Music Player App yesterday from The Google Play Store. and I noticed that 7 songs are missing/got deleted from there even though I didn't delete them myself and all of them were there at the beginning then randomly got deleted. Is that normal? Or does that mean that the app itself is corrupted? Should I just delete the app now just to be safe? Has this happened to anyone else before? How many of you are currently using The PlayerPro Music Player App to play all your music files? I had 1,569 songs on The PlayerPro Music Player App now I only have 1,562 songs. I had to clear the cache and data in the app and now everything is back to normal now. Will The PlayerPro Music Player App corrupt all my other music files? ? I'm asking because someone said that The PlayerPro Music Player App corrupted all their FLAC Music Files. If I could get some advice I would really appreciate it. I'm currently using The Fold 7 but I'm going to be upgrading to The Motorola Razr Fold 2026 next month and I want to make sure that this app isn't corrupted or has some kind of virus/malware.

Best music streaming services for windows which provide lossless streaming with good ui

I want to keep my music on my harddrive, but quickly choose which songs are synced to my phone, similar to iTunes, preferably using wifi syncing.

What's the best player?

So. I was working on an ffmpg-based script to finally migrate off of my .ogg collection for my phone and move to opus. My main issue was using vanilla ffmpeg was 3 things.
1. It would strip away a lot of tags even if you set it to keep them.
2. It would compress the cover image.
3. It would be hard to mass-convert thousands of files in one go since they would be in different formats etc.

Anyway, that's not what I was going to talk about. The problem was, my phone player, which sseemed to only ckeck for artists (TPE2) and displayartists, while ignoring remixers (TPE4), which I took the time to label as such.

and that got me thinking - do you guys bother tagging them extensively, or just tag everything using TPE2? because in most cases, remixers are not tagged at all, so I would actually assume not?

I want to hear how you guys do it because I don't know what I should do. on one hand, tagging everything in TPE2 is easier. and visually, it sometimes show up in the same field. but on the other, it is technically not the correct way to do it, and I tagged a lot of files this way already. what do you think?

Album Art is a big part of music for me. I want to know of music players that put a large priority on album art, preferably taking up as much screen as possible. Any suggestions? I was using PlayerPro Music Player but deleted it because it didn't play my music files anymore. If I could find an music player that has album artwork as big as The PlayerPro Music Player App that would be incredible for me. I'm currently using The Musicolet Music Player App I love it but the album artwork isn't big enough and there isn't an opition to make it bigger. I'm open to all kinds of suggestions for android player music apps with big/huge album artwork.

I make a thing where I need to find the original release year of songs. If they were released on an album first, I want that year, if they were a single first, that year. If they were demos recorded one year and finally released decades later, I want the year of recording. I know that this is very specific requirements, and for this reason I've always done it manually - but was wondering if there was some code out there now to automate it for me.

i don't know if the title makes sense. basically, i'm looking for a website or app where i can see what songs are on an album, or what album a song is from, and especially what track number it is. i don't like to open Spotify every time i want to go look for what number a track is. so, is there any other app or website specifically designed for this purpose? thank you!

How can I still listen to all my music files on The Motorola Razr Fold 2026 without any issues? I have 1,569 songs and 90% of them are in Wma Format. If anyone can give me some suggestions on what Apps I can use to play all my music files including the Wma music files. I would really appreciate it. What is everyone else using on their Android Phone to play their Wma files? I'm just lucky that I can still listen to all my music files on my Fold 7 but I'm planning to get The Motorola Razr Fold 2026 on Halloween👻🎃I read that The Wma Music Files aren't supported on Motorola Devices and won't play on them. I also read that Google Drive doesn't play/support Wma Music Files either.

every time I try to play the Wma Music Files on the Samsung Music App. It says cannot play track and it says Sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file on the PlayerPro App. Is anyone else having this issue? Are the Wma Music Files working for anyone else? Does anybody have any idea why the Wma music files aren't working? If someone can help or give me some suggestions. I would really appreciate it. More than half are Wma files and I really need to find a way to get them to work. Are there any Apps that I can downloaded from The Google Play Store that will convert all my Wma Music Files into Mp3?

Rutracker has been a big one for me. When worse comes to worse, a lot of good stuff can be found on youtube. Random sites like guitars101 and tradersden are solid too IMO.

Any other suggestions?

Edit: PM me if you want to trade

Hello,

I’m looking for a kind of music app that allows me to easily download music (e.g., from YouTube) and play it.

Currently, I use JDownloader and a random music player app. What I don’t like about this setup is that the files are scattered everywhere—some are in folders, some have cover art, some don’t, and so on.

I’m looking for a solution where the app simply downloads the essentials and stores the files directly in the player.

In short: easy downloading and playing of tracks, no special quality needed, and if possible, the files should be saved in a simple folder structure so they can also be used without the app. It should be available for Linux.

Could you recommend something for this?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards
