hello lainanons recently, ive been playing around with different music players, since spotify mods dont work anymore. i found this nice player on reddit and made a custom theme for it with a fauux color scheme i really like this player and maybe ill switch to it instead of spotify what do you think? (ignore fav songs)

Auxio fits all of my use cases https://f-droid.org/packages/org.oxycblt.auxio/ but if you're into eye candy you might prefer symphony https://f-droid.org/en/packages/io.github.zyrouge.symphony/

>>12987 >buy hdd >Install nicotine plus or any SLSK client >download and share music in highest lossless quality (flac, wav) >soykaf on spotify ""premium"" users listening to lossy low bitrate mp3 >buy sd card >put music in your phone >use whatever offline music player you like

>>12990 I do that but deemix and soulseek for stuff i can't found, and i download too obscure tracks from youtube and bandcamp I selfhost navidrome and listen to all my music on my own spotify

>>12990 sd cards have been super unreliable on my phone. Even if I use a card thats 32gb, it gets corrupted after a day or something. Is this just how androids are? I had a similar problem with my last phone 5 years ago. My dream solution to this is a NAS drive but I don't have the money for it. i'm also not sure if it would be too much in energy consumption. The other plan would be to rent a server somewhere and run a seedbox out of that

>>13030 I have an SD card with all my music on my android and its been alive since i put it in . what brand r u using for your SD card ?

>>13030 i never had this issue and i used a 128 GB sandisk sd filled at 90% for two years. i got an EDL block for running a custom rom though, so actually don't follow my last three lines of advice there, smartphones are ass and i don't put music or anything else on mine anymore

Musicolet is great for a featured but bare-bones Android player. If you have a phone that still has an SD slot and don't mind the sacrifice on battery, local files are the way to go. Every company and their subsidiary want your money for a subscription, and your data for adrev, get your files however you want and play em local. Opus 160 is actually really good for filesize to quality ratio, MP3 320 is tried and true, and both will sound better than free-tier streams from xyz services. You could also get a sub $100 audio player for a separate device so you're not filling your phone up with music and soykaf you don't really need on it. I used to use some $15 pos player i found at a dollar store and a 32gb card and even that was a good amount of music with no phone restriction. Keep backups of your music DLs, else you end up with a corrupted card and have to go finding music again. If you have a hard time finding something on soulseek, but its on a streaming service there are a few a websites that will DL from them, or there are CLI programs that will download from the likes of Tidal or Apple Music. Nab a 1-month trial with a new account and go crazy on a friday night! Get wasted and download whatever looks interesting, and check it back out the next day.

>>12987 UI for the music player looks cool, dude. Is this for use on a smartphone?

Where do you download your mp3 files, lainons?>

>>14177 these days? Ripped from youtube from my preferred ripper https://en.loader.to/4/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEjVaH76K_Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4j3Ejymz3VY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJOMxHVGb98

>>14177 Redacted private tracker, Soulseek network via the nicotine+ client, tidal-dl software.

>>14177 mp3 is kinda obsolete, there is a new format that has size of 196kbps mp3 with quality of 320+kbps mp3

>>14252 > there is a new format could have you told what it is?

>>14253 You could find it by simply duckduckgoing. It's "opus"

I have all my music on my homelab and use Navidrome to listen to it, on android i use Symphonium to connect to Navidrome

>>12987 what is this player called lainon? it looks cool

>>12990 spotify has lossless now. not gonna stop me from hoarding music on my HDD though.

>>14291 I took it 2 steps above the minimum. 1. I got a bunch of cheap BT/MP3 players. One flick of a switch and my work playlist plays! 2. got some for my fren with completely different taste in music

I use spotifuck to listen to stuff when i'm outside, basically a webviewer app, it works and updates alongside web-spotify, so you dont need to be constantly updating it. Whenever i'm home tho i hook into Jellyfin with some playlists i have made and i listen to .flac files on my phone directly from my computer. I must admit Jellyfin phone player is pretty fuarrrking soykafty but i dont know of any other alternatives to stream music from my computer

>>12989 I've been using for while and I'm not a big fan: - audio keeps stopping, need to open the phone to press the play button again - playlists sometimes freezes the app - sometimes the audio leaks out of the speakers when i'm using headphones
