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

    I personally use Phonograph Plus although it has it’s own share of issues. The best one in my opinion was Vinyl Music Player but it had some issues with SD cards.

      Yeah vinyl music player looked promising but it did suffer reading my metadata sadly. I’ll look into phonograph plus, appreciate it

      Alrighty just tried phonograph plus and it checked every box thanks again. Storage scope was messing with the genre metadata for some reason but since its on another profile I’ll just grant it permission
