Hi, hope I can ask here. Iโ€™ve been using vlc for android as my music player but it really struggles after 5k local songs surprisingly so Iโ€™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 Iโ€™m at the point where itโ€™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, etcโ€ฆ). Any help?

Edit: If it matters for troubleshooting, Iโ€™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 donโ€™t say it, your ad is distributed by @opensource so I guess itโ€™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 โ€ฆ
