Hello! I'm an artist, writer, and game developer. I work for @7thBeatGames on "A Dance of Fire and Ice" and "Rhythm Doctor."

...anyone have a suggestion for an Android app to use for listening to music you've purchased?
In other words, an app to export your purchases from Bandcamp onto and listen to while doing chores, while going for walks, etc.
I'm not a huge fan of the Bandcamp mobile app.
I haven't used Android in a few years now but Poweramp used to be pretty good and looks like it's still getting updated, 15 day free trial and $5 purchase, on the free side foobar2000 has an Android port that seems to be well regarded.
I use Musicolet, which is a free, extremely no-nonsense music player. It has shuffle, it has playlists, it has sorting, it has zero online capability, so for it to play music the music has to be on your phone in a folder somewhere. Depending on your perspective that last feature is either annoying or a huge selling point.
The PlexAmp music player is worth paying Plex their subscription fee for, IMO. I keep my music library on my PC and stream it to my phone. The interface is simple but has all the features I want (like rating tracks I listen to and easy playlist creation). For me, the best parts of streaming (don't have to sync stuff to my phone, but can cache albums/playlists if you're going to an area without internet) and having my own library (it has what I want and tracks won't randomly disappear when Spotify loses the license).
I don't know if today is the day I jump into the Plex world but I've been hearing great things about it for years. I think at some point that's where I'm gonna end up haha. Thanks!
