I prefer Poweramp a lot more. It has a compact list view (a must-have for me which also seems to be a rare feature) with a fairly smooth UI. It also has upto a 32-band EQ.

#62Looks like AIMP (which I'm currently using) has every feature listed and more, but I'll give it a try.

Honest question, why kit just get a DAP like one of the Higby, FiiO, Shanking, or Xduoo devices?
I got a DAP. The Shanling Q1. Sounds great and is an absolutely beautiful device. But it's heavy, and has the worst interface I've ever used on any music player. It's fucking awful. So it sits in a box on the shelf and I'll only ever take it out to show people how it's possible to get 90% of the way to brilliance and then totally shit the bed.
I recommend RockBox on a Sandisk Sansa Clip+. Goes to 11 on brilliance.

Try DSub and your own airsonic music server. Optionally open up cached files in foobar2k instead.
The version of DSub on F-Droid is unfortunately years out of date since the dev had to pull in some Google library for Chromecast support.
There's Ultrasonic (Subsonic client), MALP (MPD client) and Squeezer (LMS client) on Fdroid that are still active. Also Dsub might still work.

Also checkout Ampache. They support Subsonic android app after enabling some setting. Ampache has been going strong since 2001.

Also checkout MPD (Music Player Daemon) and Logitech Media Server (LMS). All are FLOSS.

For years I used Sansa clip with RockBox. That was also the last player my wife used. But it's getting insanely expensive to replace them now, an it's essentially a dead technology. I did a massive search for RockBox compatible players before going the Jelly Pro route, but I didn't find anything recent. It felt like fighting against the tide. Way easier to use an Android app.

#66When 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…
try odyssey
It's much easier to not try odyssey than to try odyssey (on a 2 word recommendation)

That's something I might do, but for music on the go, running a server somewhere is a huge amount of extra setup. It's also something i need to connect to. The battery saving from not running wifi/4g is huge. It's also one more thing that can break
Re: Musicolet – Offline Music Player for Android
#68Is there something like this for audio books?
'Voice' is good and FLOSS. It's on fdroid.

That last fully FOSS DSub build does still work with my Airsonic server, yeah. Sorry my wording implied otherwise. It’s just out of date compared to the version you’d find on Google Play is all, but my phone is old too so I don’t mind :)

Airsonic lets you precache albums with ease. It's really more of a wireless music management software which you only need to run when you want. Music is cached in a readable folder which any music app can pick up.
