What Android App do you use to play your music?
I’ve been using VinylMusicPlayer because it has all the features I need (supports ReplayGain and playlists auto update when they are modified externally)
But I would much rather use MetroMusicPlayer as it looks so much prettier. But I’d have to manually update all playlists and it does not support ReplayGain
I should probably mention that I have limited myself to open source applications and that I don’t particularly like the look of the main recommendations unfortunately.

I run a Plex server. So I’m using plexamp on my phone.
I’m not an audiophile so I just connect to my Bluetooth enabled edifier speakers and go to town.
Edit: just realized what sub? This is… My bad.
You’ve outed yourself. Run before the true audiophiles tell you about FLAC.
I’m pretty sure plexamp supports flac, at least that’s how I play my purchased flac files.

Oh yeah Bluetooth is terrible, I stick to my wired Sure IEMs because with Bluetooth I can notice it slightly speeding up and slowing down which causes subtle pitch changes, I’m assuming it has to do with the buffer but I haven’t found a Bluetooth receiver that doesn’t do that.
Yep it absolutely does!
Lol I try to only use flac actually lol
Why worry? Most of my library is FLAC, direct played from Plex because my other go to server/player (MPD/ncmpcpp) is a bit hinky to browse and curate on mobile, I’ve got WAY too broad a catalog to carry around, and my mood is to fickle to prepare small subsets of mobile music in advance.

I’ve been using Poweramp for years. Love the custom options: replay gain, cross over fades that you can control timing, plenty of sound control options and No limit to playlist, search within playlist. My pop list is 5K+.
A lot of people love Poweramp and keep recommending it.
I’m just not really a fan of the look
I guess I never look at it. Just listen.
I think they have skin options.
I have tried several over the years. It’s definitely the most options for customization (IMO). The settings are easy to navigate. I used one a few years back and it was a headache to find things.
Musicolet, which has lots of nice music playing options and no network features at all (no data sharing).
Yep, me too. Great search function, just the features I need and nothing else.
Musicolet looks nice.
It doesn’t seem to be designed for playlists that you manage from a PC for example though. Importing external playlists seemed like a pain unfortunately
VLC. Dunno about playlists auto updating or replaygain, but it has a lot of features and they all work well. And unlike the desktop app, the mobile version actually has a good UI.
I was actually pleasantly surprised by the functionality of VLC. And it does support ReplayGain.
It’s a little unfortunate that it’s Now Playing screen for music feels lame.
Ditto on VLC. Although it does have some annoying things (like it starts rescanning frequently on startup). I keep my collection in flac on a giant microSD though, so it’s pretty great in that context. Paired with my Sennheisers I’m a very happy man.
Depends.
I mostly use poweramp, but I do have devices that kinda suck, but work fine through a USB DAC, abd I use usb player for those, as long as they’re USB c
