I’ve been looking at some music players for Android, but so far they’ve all had bugs. Can you recommend something similar to Musicolet that’s available on the Play Store?
I don’t use it but axio has been rock solid in my experience.
I like gramophone but it’s had some bugs, where auxio just has just done anything I’ve needed without issue when I was trying it out
I’m just fussy about user interfaces, and while axio is a quite nice material 3 ui, gramophone is more beautiful to me
I haven’t been able to move on from musicolete. The lyrics display and playlist handling is alluring. If you find something open source though, I’m all ears.
Second for Musicolet
Does it have to be on the Play Store?
I recently started using the Fossify Music Player. It’s on F-Droid.
Fossify music player is also on playstore. It was one of the first I’ve tested but I can’t figure out how to separate the artists, it was a little buggy
I often have to force close the app to get it to play after pausing the music.
VLC has been working for me without issue for weeks.
On F-Droid Phocid is good

Personally I use Music Player GO it’s on F-droid. It has useful features, also has built in equalizer similar to Musicolet.
VLC maybe.
I haven’t been able to find something better than Music Folder Player.
I don’t know why it’s so hard for Android apps to just respect my folder layout and not clump all files together.
I use Phocid, maybe a bit too minimalistic regarding you used Musicolet. It is only available on F-Droid though.
- The metadata indexing (when the advanced metadata is activated) works wonders.
- UI is straight forward and simple and until now I did not encounter any bugs (LineageOS and e/OS).
- The folder structure is maintained and can be found under the “Folders” tab.
- Sound quality is good, way better than VLC (what I used before).
- Battery usage is, as far as I can tell, low
I really like Auxio.
I like Auxio, but I ended up keeping Metro, because it has built-in metadata editing for songs.
