Musicolet is incredibly fast and capable with large libraries. I love it.

#22Am I the only one who looks at this and wonders; why not just use foobar2000? It has the same quality and stability on both android as on your desktops OS... And from what I can tell has most of the features of this but with a 15 year track record of stability (assuming you don't download an unstable third party add-ons)

#23I have tried most of the more enduring Android music apps, and Musicolet is among the best 10-15 of them, ever. But they don't all have good equalization options. "Bass boost" is catchy and popular, but being able to adjust things like track gain, album gain, pre-amp & post-amp levels, etc... makes ALL the difference on your average Android. Despite it's clunky UI, ArmAmp has been my favorite for about a decade and it has those things plus individually tuneable EQ bands. (Also anyone who ever used Deadbeef - which is what I used before - should be able to cope with ArmAmp's UI.)

#24While I'd not call it "Music" Player for my purposes, I use it since a few years for playback of audiobooks and similar content for which a proper queueing feature is highly relevant. It's been great for that, containing all the important features and proper queues. The few issues I had, I sent to the support email as bug reports or feature requests, and most of those have been resolved relatively quick. So, not bein…
I recently came across AudioAnchor for audio books, it's designed for audio books so it's functionality may be better for you.
I've only used it lightly so far but it seems pretty good.
It's also open source and available in F-Droid:

On my new phone (Android 10) foobar2000 can't play tracks without stuttering. Haven't found a great replacement yet, but... that's one reason not to use it.

#27I wanted an offline wall-mounted tablet driving music for my living room so that I could (gasp) BROWSE my own music collection. I settled on Musicolet after trying a few other options. The one missing feature I wanted was some sense of music _collections_ concept in the interface so that my wife and I could browse each of our individual collections on the same device. Other than that I've been very satisfied.

#28Am just getting back into Android dev again, and the high perf audio api looks very versatile. Csound, Faust are also available. Software defined musical instruments are the end goal here. Oboe wrapper the underlying library. Coupled with Filament for PBR, am looking forward to exploring Android as a platform for real-time generative content creation ;)

Besides, the Processing IDE, does anyone know of any on-device Android dev env that could also potentially support visual development? Thanks in advance!

That's a bummer, still works on mine running android 10. But as we all know with phones, YMMV
