I’ve been following a lot of these, and unfortunately nearly all of them are dead.
- YouAmp - Alive, jetpack compose + material v3, but very early in development. Barely any features. Probably our best hope for the future of these.
- Tempo - The best current option, but dead for ~6 months. Has a few bugs, but lots of features. Java, not kotlin, but appears to be material 3.
- Ultrasonic - Great option, lots of features, but dead for ~a year.
- Dsub - Dead for 2 years, but revived now with a few bug fixes via this one. Doesn’t have much of a future, not being jetpack compose / m3.
- Subtunes - Dead for 2+ years.
Tempo was looking great and then it just stopped it seems. Still my daily driver but I was hoping for more updates.
I just don’t like the layout of Tempo. Don’t like side scroller, with bunch of stuff showing up in tiles. I’ll stick with Ultrasonic until something better comes along.
That’s why I don’t like Navidrome, have to click on “more” to update the lists, as well as being a horrid id tag app. Fucks up your music unless all your idtags are set up perfectly.
I love the artist list in Airsonic. It just works. Still use it today although dead for a long time. Even if it looks like an 80’s app. Been using it with Supersonic on my Linux box.
Oh well.
