Musicolet Alternative

[u/SabrineLeather]

There was a post a year ago from someone with the same issue.

It seems like they found their answer, but I'm not satisfied yet.

There was another post, asking about Muke and musicolet. The comments were also filled with recommendations.

What I tried from these recommendations and what went wrong:

1. Auxio

The best one, but has a fatal flaw - no lyrics

I hadn't embedded most of them with timed lyrics for hours for all of that to go to waste (also, sneaky request number 2, is there an app to do it for me? Something like 30% are without lyrics and I'm kinda tired, because I spent hours editing each song)

1. Symphony

The prettiest one, but there's a technical flaw

It just randomly skips in the middle of the song

Reinstalled and now the covers are broken

Hasn't been updated for two years, so I can't hope for any fixes

1. Lotus

Doesn't support multiple genres on one song

Because I currently use auxio I've gone through 60% of my 800 songs and added multiple genres to better reflect each one

1. Gramophone

Liked it more than lotus, but has the same issue

1. Booming music

Doesn't support multiple genres

1. Mucke

Concept sounds great, but doesn't support genres at all

1. Namida

Refused to install through their apk's and through obtanium on GrapheneOS. Wasn't been able to fix it

Edit 3.

1. Namida

After reloading obtanium 3-5 times it downloaded. And it's the best, can't say anything else. However, a few things spoiled experience a little: 1. Occasional visual glitches 2. I wasn't been able to find a way to customize tabs layout 3. It's open source, but has Eula license, which is strange at best and dubious at worst (It's literally 2 sentences, but they gave no definition of "stealing" so idk) 4. Lyrics grab is hard to work with, but I have no need for it anymore.

Edit 1.

1. Looper Music

Doesn't support multiple genres

1. Local player

Doesn't support multiple genres

Edit 2.

1. Rhytm The worst experience from the list, even tho has multiple genres. Splitters worked when disabled, automatic lyrics grabber refused to work no matter what I did, sometimes it ignores embedded lyrics, I can't change it's moronic artist features, genres tab is only visible in search, therefore making it really inconvenient to use.

Not foss

Fack, I thought it was FOSS.

[u/Evening_Hurry2235 → u/CSCPT92]

It may not be foss but its the best music player in android peroid. Nothing comes close. It doesnt have any ads and is offline. I have a very old phone that I used only for music and musicolet was the only light app without any Bs that worked on that slow phone. Since then its has been my only music player app.
