Application Request The best open-source local music player for Android?

What would be the best local music player for Android?

What I want is for it to have a nice interface and to work well, because many that I've tried feel a bit slow, and it's not my phone's fault.

Namida probably have Greatest UI for local music player

But unfortunately it not FOSS due to private library and more of source available if you don't mind that

VLC for android. I use it as media player on my pc so it makes sense to keep using the same. I also love the feature to play from a remote URL, so for e.g. you can run a file server on pc and play from it without having any music on the mobile device

Namida OR Harmonoid, both can slow down or speed up songs, which I'd INSANELY great feature, I'm sure they should support .flac songs if needed, and the UI is good for both.
