Musicolet is much better than Vanilla Music in terms of UI and features.
If privacy is your concern, Musicolet cannot access the internet. It does not have that permission. I use the app, and I have checked for connections it tried to make on startup. There were one.

#34When Google Play Music shut down I decided to buy a 128gb SD card and a Jelly Pro (tiny phone) to use as an MP3 player. The battery life on the phone is shit, but since I only needed it for music, I could do something about that. I rooted it, added some automation: automatically launch music player and scrobbler on startup, activate airplane mode except when plugged in, add sshd service so I can rsync files to it, an…
Honest question, why kit just get a DAP like one of the Higby, FiiO, Shanking, or Xduoo devices?

#35This is the best music app I've ever used on Android. Fast, , no ads, does not access the internet, great UI, low on resources and space used.
One of the few apps I enjoy using on my phone. Many thanks to the developer for making a offline music player and not introducing ads in it!

#36Musicolet is one of those no-nonsense and polished android applications that are becoming more and more rare these days. The interface is really clean, the app has many useful features and honestly, the whole UX is smooth and intuitive. I'll go as far as to say I've never seen a music player software on Windows or GNU/Linux that is as well-crafted as this. (Clementine[1] comes close but sadly it seems it's not mainta…

It is closed source, but if privacy is your concern, it does not attempt to access the internet. You can log connections to check this or just inspect the list of permissions it uses in Android settings.

Re: Musicolet – Offline Music Player for Android
#38While 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: https://github.com/flackbash/AudioAnchor
you may also like "Voice", also on F-Droid.
Re: Musicolet – Offline Music Player for Android
#39It is my default music player and I really love it! but I wish it had controls for the playback speed as I sometimes use it for podcasts or recorded talks.
> controls for the playback speed
Click the 3 dots > playback speed and pitch

You can move this to the main menu by click the 3 dots> "Quick Access" Shortcuts> Tick the checkbox beside 'Playback speed and Pitch'

"Vinyl" is also great. simple and attractive interface. available on F-Droid.
if network play is needed there's always VLC. combined with Wireshark and Samba, a solid personal music streaming setup.
