try odyssey
It's much easier to not try odyssey than to try odyssey (on a 2 word recommendation)
That's cool, I tried phonograph (on a 0 word recommendation) and it's basically the exact same UI as odyssey.

> The interface is really clean, the app has many useful features and honestly, the whole UX is smooth and intuitive. It is smooth, but I disagree with clean/intuitive. I just installed it for the first time and the comments I have: - The first screen (now playing?) has a big "Musicolet" branded square filling most of the screen (where missing album art would go), and a small "Musicolet" fuzzed out in the background…
> I can't find any way to adjust the size of these media controls I don't think there is any app which allows you to do so. Still the settings dialog has lots of options (more than alternatives). I've heavily customized (minimized) Musicolet one time. Now I only have 5 tabs which I use the first 3 (playlists, now playing and folder-view). The most important features for me is "search in queue" in playlist view itself…
I guess it's not that I expect the "play" button size to be adjustable, rather I think it should be prioritized (larger) than other buttons. The play button is the same size as each of the three shuffle option buttons.
After spending a while removing stuff (blurred album art in the background particularly, plus a few tabs, and unnecessary options) I like the interface more. Was getting a bit of stuttering on bluetooth when driving earlier, hopefully that stops.
I think what I like most is that I can adjust id3 tags etc in-app, for multiple files at the same time - it feels like a real computer program, instead of more typical cell phone crapware.

#73Musicolet 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…
I use this. But I have yet to find a way to cast the audio to a Chromecast. Does anyone know how?
You need the premium version for that.

> add sshd service so I can rsync files to it, Google Play Music, apart from being a good local music player it's sync feature seemed to have been much sought after. With the app's removal, the local playback is addressed by apps like Musicolet but there is a need gap[1] for syncing local library and addressing it would be a great way to monetize such music player apps or perhaps even build a new one to address it? […
I just point my player app to a folder that syncthing manages.
That's the simplest way to do it, But it's still beyond the capacity of many as there are those who have local cache of digital songs from the 2000s in their memory cards, have a phone and the tablet; But don't know how to sync that across devices.

Musicbee is the most natural music player I've ever used. Never understood clementine. Music players are subjective.
