a few months ago i decided i was sick of the music player app i had been using, so i scrounged through every open‐source Android music player i could find and compared all their features. i decided they were all bad, but that Auxio would be good once it got some updates (the developer had been busy with a high course load). it has those now! some of the features i was looking for:
- gapless playback, added in v3.4.0 which was released 5 days ago
- 1‐height widgets, also added in v3.4.0
- this is the only Android music player besides VLC that correctly renders the album title “░█░█░░█░█░█░”
- replaygain support
- playlist export and import
- black OLED theme
- per‐song album covers look to be slated for v3.5.0
making software recommendations has a high ratio of potential helpfulness to effort, so some day i’d like to make a full directory of personal recommendations.
