What Android App do you use to play your music?
I've been using VinylMusicPlayer because it has all the features I need (supports ReplayGain and playlists auto update when they are modified externally)
But I would much rather use MetroMusicPlayer as it looks so much prettier. But I'd have to manually update all playlists and it does not support ReplayGain
I should probably mention that I have limited myself to open source applications and that I don't particularly like the look of the main recommendations unfortunately.

I run a Plex server. So I'm using plexamp on my phone.
I'm not an audiophile so I just connect to my Bluetooth enabled edifier speakers and go to town.
Edit: just realized what sub? This is... My bad.

You've outed yourself. Run before the true audiophiles tell you about FLAC.

I'm pretty sure plexamp supports flac, at least that's how I play my purchased flac files.

Oh yeah Bluetooth is terrible, I stick to my wired Sure IEMs because with Bluetooth I can notice it slightly speeding up and slowing down which causes subtle pitch changes, I'm assuming it has to do with the buffer but I haven't found a Bluetooth receiver that doesn't do that.

Yep it absolutely does!

Why worry? Most of my library is FLAC, direct played from Plex because my other go to server/player (MPD/ncmpcpp) is a bit hinky to browse and curate on mobile, I've got WAY too broad a catalog to carry around, and my mood is to fickle to prepare small subsets of mobile music in advance.

I've been using Poweramp for years. Love the custom options: replay gain, cross over fades that you can control timing, plenty of sound control options and No limit to playlist, search within playlist. My pop list is 5K+.

A lot of people love Poweramp and keep recommending it.
I'm just not really a fan of the look

I guess I never look at it. Just listen.
I think they have skin options.
I have tried several over the years. It's definitely the most options for customization (IMO). The settings are easy to navigate. I used one a few years back and it was a headache to find things.

Musicolet, which has lots of nice music playing options and no network features at all (no data sharing).
perishthethought@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y
Yep, me too. Great search function, just the features I need and nothing else.

Musicolet looks nice.
It doesn't seem to be designed for playlists that you manage from a PC for example though. Importing external playlists seemed like a pain unfortunately

VLC. Dunno about playlists auto updating or replaygain, but it has a lot of features and they all work well. And unlike the desktop app, the mobile version actually has a good UI.

Ditto on VLC. Although it does have some annoying things (like it starts rescanning frequently on startup). I keep my collection in flac on a giant microSD though, so it's pretty great in that context. Paired with my Sennheisers I'm a very happy man.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by the functionality of VLC. And it does support ReplayGain.
It's a little unfortunate that it's Now Playing screen for music feels lame.

Depends.
I mostly use poweramp, but I do have devices that kinda suck, but work fine through a USB DAC, abd I use usb player for those, as long as they're USB c
