I was recently using this fork before it was recently archived. It seems that every dev who puts their hand on it quickly backtracks (understandably so) that it became almost like a curse. Anyways, is anybody aware of a fork that it is still actively developed and maintained? Thanks.
P.S. I know there are other open source apps with a similar function, but I am looking specifically for the unique design which ViMusic has for its UI.

Not a fork but a similar app that is supported is OuterTune

ah yes the vimusic - > rimusic - > kreate pipeline
i started using metrolist when rimusic went unmaintained but i still keep kreate around. for now it's the vimusic fork that's being maintained

same for me, i also use Metrolist

Thanks for the recommendation! Just tried it after you mentioned metrolist and it's working perfectly. Kreate kept crashing and stopping.

I've been using Kreate for a while, seems to be a fork of RiMusic

Thats what I have been using. Its based off RiMusic which was based off ViMusic.

Just adding a note. People should be able to backup your music in ViMusic or RiMusic and restore in Create. They seem to use the same database. Though I havent tried directly from ViMusic to Kreate. I went from ViMusic to RiMusic to Kreate.

Tested it out of curiosity. Restoring a vimusic backup crashes the app.

Thanks for testing that! I thought it might work but I was wrong. Guess people will have to do one to RiMusic first then Kreate. Hopfully that still works..

Harmony music has been working well for me

Seems like this is the closest project to be still functioning. Thank you.

Is this a fork of RiMusic? RiMusic was good for me because could play my local songs.

If it helps, Metro works good for local music
Amaterasu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 324d
It does but is not maintained for quite a while now
viral.vegabond@piefed.social · 1 pts · 324d
Ah, well that's a bummer 😕

Is RiMusic dead?

Not what youre looking after but- I use newpipe as a peertube client, but since it supports youtube as well you can search yt music specifically and download a track in up to a 128kps .m4a of 160kps .opus file. I then use vlc for android to play em, and it works just fine :3 You may find a offline music player with a ui similar to vi as well!
Some minor gripes is that these files seemingly dont come with metadata, and you cant download a whole playlist or album at a time, both being huge bummers :/

That's what I used to do before opting for online streaming.
I'm pretty sure yt-dlp can do this. Why not try Seal on F-droid.
beyoublahaj@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 269d
Thank you for the reccomendation, Seal has been amazing! Sorry i wasn't that helpful when you needed it ^^`
Tatar_Nobility@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 269d
It's alright! I'm glad you're enjoying it. Also, new developers stepped up to maintain vimusic.
beyoublahaj@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 62d
Note for people seeing this: Seal looks unmaintained but i have been informed of a similar app called ytdlnis
