Hi, hope I can ask here. I’ve been using vlc for android as my music player but it really struggles after 5k local songs surprisingly so I’m looking for an alternative. The main problem I have is that after switching to the user account that has my local media, vlc refreshes and clears my playlist and I’m at the point where it’s becoming a bit frustrating. I already tried the majority of music player apps on fdroid but they all have issues with the metadata (no album art, unknown genre, etc…). Any help?

Edit: If it matters for troubleshooting, I’m running grapheneos and use vlc on a seperate user profile where my local media is located.

Edit #2: Phonograph plus seems like my best option rn but feel free to give more options to help others

@stifle867 Do you know of any plans of publishing the app on f-droid.org as well? Though you don’t say it, your ad is distributed by @opensource so I guess it’s an open source app and probably qualifies for F-Droid. Many open source lovers deny to use any Google accounts and services, and if the dev cares for them …
