What is Reddit's opinion of Musicolet Music Player [Free, No ads]?

"Best" is a subjective term.

I like Musicolet . It's feature rich, has no internet permission, and ticks almost all boxes for me

I think Musicolet might do what you are after in a limited way. I just checked and I can add tags and see them, but it will only let me use one tag to generate the playlist Play Store

It is ONLY for local media.

Hijacking top comment to gave a shout out to this music player app if you still haven't heard of it:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.krosbits.musicolet

It's free and NO ADS. Can have lyric embedded, edit file tag, theme etc. A lot better than most paid music player app.

Musicolet: * no ads * multiple queues * slick design * supports amoled themes * Tag editor * can move and copy songs in-app * equalizer * embedded lyrics support * can add shortcuts to albums and play lists to homescreen

Plus some more features I don't use but are pretty neat.

The wall of text and detail is unnecessary for what you're asking. It's much easier to get support questions answered when you cut it down and get right to the point.

You have issues selecting the 'now playing' window, the exact song you want to play or sliding the time position back to the start?

Checkout Musicolet it's a free lightweight app with plenty of settings. I initially discovered it looking for a music app that could play by folder structure and remember last position on long tracks (podcasts).

Musicolet Music Player

This is probably the solution you're looking for if I'm understanding you correctly. It lets you sort and organize by folder.

Here's a screenshot from the Play Store listing.

I've finally picked Musicolet as my winner. It lets me have multiple queues; and remembers where I had pause/stopped each music file. Thus, I can use it for both listening to music and audiobooks. I now don't need a separate app just for audiobooks.

Musicolet. Once you enable a setting called "Remember last position for all tracks", it will remember last position of each individual track.

I'd suggest Musicolet. HAs decent features. Completely offline and lite. Lot of customizability. Decent built-in mixer.

While I'm not an advanced user by any means, Musicolet suits my needs perfectly. It doesn't use the internet at all (read: no ads) and has features in such depth that I can accomplish anything I need to. It plays local MP3s quite cleanly. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.krosbits.musicolet&hl=en_US&gl=US

Hi! From personal experience I can say that music with lot of singing involved can distract players. Can happen even if the language is unknown or meaningless (looking at you Two Steps from Hell). Maybe it's not your case but I wanted to share it anyway.

During sessions I play music from my phone with a music player called Musicolet. It's great because it automatically creates new cues everytime you play a new playlist, so instead of playing a single track for every ambient you can have an entire playlist on shuffle mode. You just have to create a playlist for every situation: i.e. some of mine are "Action", "Caves", "Celebration", "Countryside", "Dungeon", "Emotional", "Suspense", four playlists for "Tavern", three for "Bosses", a playlist for every "City", and more I don't remember right now. Some of the music I use:

The Witcher 1, 2, 3 OST (not those with lots of voice)
Pathfinder: Kingmaker OST
Pillars of Eternity 2 OST
Anno 1404 OST
Darkest Dungeon OST
some tracks from Kingdom Come: Deliverance OST
Classical music like Handel, Mozart and Vivaldi for those fancy ballroom or royal palace scenes

More tips:

Add and remove some tracks every once in a while so there's always something new to listen.
Keep a playlist for particular moments like a grand finale, emotional or romance scene, because a special scene needs special music. My players love listening to "Conquest of Paradise" when they beat a boss that stalked them for months; or "Chevaliers du Sangreal" when they lift a curse that closes a story arc, or when a player character is about to die and has to speak his last words to his friends.

~~EDIT: jeez i'm on phone and my list has been fucked up. When i'm on pc i'll edit it, sorry~~ (fixed)

EDIT 2: Character themes? Can't say anything about that, but npc themes? Absolutely! Only for very important ones though

I use the Android app Musicolet;

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.krosbits.musicolet

It has all the features you mentioned.

If you have locally saved music (which I always have, either using a 64gb cards or recently on my 256gb Note 20), you can use Musicolet app.

It's a great, totally free app that offers widgets, EQ and many smarter features. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.krosbits.musicolet

Everyone will recommend the LGs, because they have better DACs. (Un)fortunately, LG just got out of the smart phone business. Bad for LG, but it hopefully means you should be able to score a good LG phone cheap.

And if the audio is crap, you can add something like one of these external DACs (a friend has one) that sits between the phone and your wired IEMs/headphones (no Bluetooth, sorry).

As for which player software, I played around with about two dozen Android players this year to compare. I even made a spreadsheet comparing them :-) The one that I keep coming back to is Musicolet.

Why? Because of the things you're asking about: use, reliability, and library organization.

It can sort/search/filter by artist, album name, album artist, composer, and genre. I was really surprised to see how few support filtering by composer and genre. A lot do one or the other, but only 5 out of 35 I tested supported both. That really helps with the library organization.

It also supports playlists and queues.

The queues are a really neat feature I haven't seen elsewhere. Basically, every time you start playing some sequence, it creates a queue. So if I decide to filter by genre (instrumental), it will show me I have 8 albums and 95 songs. I can select two albums/13 songs, then add 3 other songs making 16, and start playing. Those 16 songs are now a queue, and I can add/delete songs to the queue, and save it as a playlist.

Im Using 'Musicolet'- (Free) You'll find it in the playstore. It's an OFFLINE player, meaning it just deals with the stuff that is already on your phone. It also has no ads either.

You sound like me as in you just want something simple that will play music you already own, and still play nicely with other stuff like android auto etc... Nice and simple to just listen, and plenty of features if you want to dig deeper and use them.

Check it out - you might like it :)

MusicBee (Win) and Musicolet (Android) offer me an ad-free experience for free. I'm used to playing music locally, because streaming used to be unreliable and limited in catalogue. It may have improved, but I'm not willing to jump, because the default Spotify experience is so piss-poor.

For discovering new music I use last.fm, Bandcamp, and YouTube (with adblocker).

I would go for Musicolet. A really good lightweight music player that can play all of your audio files. It cannot retrieve anything from the internet nor can it stream or download, making this player not littered with ads. It takes a very minimum amount of space, though it does include a lot. It is free software, which makes it a big bonus for you.

Musicolet Music Player [No ads] - Apps on Google Play

For local files, I've always preferred an app called Musicolet.

> Musicolet doesn't even use Internet permission (a.k.a. network access permission). (You can check this in 'App permissions' at the bottom of this description in Play Store.) So it cannot send/receive even a single bit of data to/from the internet. Not even in background. Full respect of your privacy.

As far as I know the following 2 options will only work with locally stored music

Completely Free (as in no ads, no pay features) but not FOOS: Musicolet is my go to

Open source option, used a long time a go but I replace it with musicolet: Shuttle

Especial mention to VLC, I use it as video player but it can be used as music player and I now that you can set up some way to play not locally stored media (I do it on my local network with UMS DNLA server)

Musicolet isn’t heavily Material Design 2 styled but it’s good enough, I guess. It’s completely free with no ads at all.

I’ve been using it for about half a year and it’s been great! It’s been better than some other paid music player apps (excl. PowerAmp & JetAudio as I haven’t tried those).

Yes, just go to settings -> search "headphones & audio effects" -> headphone remote buttons.

There's also an music player called Musicolet in which you can assign different gestures to your headphones. For example, to skip a song you can double tab on the upper button or with triple tab on the lower button it will play the previous song. I highly recommend it.

Rip it off YouTube with YMusic (integrates into the YouTube share menu - mp3/m4a) then use musicolet to play them (remembers last position on all tracks)

Musicolate exports it's playlist as .pla and is capable of importing them, so give it a try. Not sure if it will work with playlist made Winamp.

It is free and doesn't have ads.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.krosbits.musicolet

Try Musicolet if you want free… you can edit info and download album art.

Shuttle is another option

Any of the big 3 {Poweramp Gonemad or Blackplayer} if you want paid.

You can give Musicolet a try. In my experience it has finer options to customize, search, shuffle through your playlists. It "feels" less resource intensive when compared to Shuttle (not that music players are resource intensive in general ). It has editing option for song metadata ( I forgot whether shuttle has that option or not). The thing you will loose is the material design and artist thumbnails ( I do miss that). But Musicolet has been my primary music app. Shuttle is just there as a backup.

Try Musicolet. It is loaded with tons of features and is 100% free without ads. It even doesn't use Internet permission. Rated 4.7 stars on playstore and has 1 million+ downloads.

Try Musicolet. It can remember last position of each tracks individually. (You have to turn on a setting for it.)

It is also loaded with tons of features and is 100% free without ads. It even doesn't use Internet permission, respecting your privacy. Rated 4.7 stars on playstore and has 1 million downloads.

Musicolet it's free, has no ads, light dark and AMOLED theme, in app equalizer, and as a guy who tried Black, Pulsar, Pi, Poweramp and many more.

I can without any doubt say that Musicolet is the best music player for Android

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.krosbits.musicolet

I use Musicolet for a local music player.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.krosbits.musicolet&hl=en_US

It's meant to only be a local music player, and doesn't ask for any permissions it doesn't need (such as internet access). It's also completely free, no ads whatsoever. I don't know much about what people desire in UI so I can't say whether or not it's up to anyone's standards there, but it does the trick for me. I use Foobar on my PC for music playback, so I'm used to non-glamorous UI.

Try Musicolet: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.krosbits.musicolet

> Free, no ads

Yes. Also no internet permissions if that matters to you.

> Ease of use, I don't need much besides basic controls and settings

Can't tell if you'll find it simple.

> Blacklist/Whitelist feature

If that means excluding a folder so the files in it don't show up,in the app, then yes.

> FLAC

Not sure.

> I need the |◄ and ►| buttons to act like rew/ff when held

Yes.

>Same as above, but on the lockscreen!!!

> Time and seekbar on the lockscreen, or at least time

It has an amazing lockscreen option and all that is included. So yes.

I'm using this one on my Google pixel 6. Awesome! Because reason is you have quick access to your panel when you pull it down to start the player

I don't know about that, I think you mean listening to songs that are already downloaded on your phone, for that I recommend an external player like Musicolet.

You can also try Musicolet, which is free, doesn't have any ads and comes with a great EQ that can be set differently for each of your audio devices.

Here is an app that allows the ignoring of Audio Focus. In settings under Audio Focus just set it to level 0

Not OP, but Musicolet on Android is great for me. Free full-featured app, you can pay $4.95 for some extra stuff I never cared about (but loved the app so much I paid just to support it after a while).

Loving Musicolet, honestly the main reason I chose this one over any other is one of the widgets that allows you to scroll through the queue from the home screen and the widget looks great.

I've been using Musicolet for a few years now and I love it 🙌🏻 You can use it on a simple or more in depth level to suit your needs and workflow. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.krosbits.musicolet

My solution is NextCloud to synchronize my music in combination with a music player where you can choose the folders freely (surprisingly, there are not many) and with a beautiful user interface. On my desktop (POP-OS) I use Cozy (Flathub) and Musicoleton my smartphone (android).

I don't have FP4, but when Google killed Google Play Music in 2020 (and I didn't like their YouTube Music replacement app), my Android phone no longer had a media player, either. I ended up installing Musicolet, and I really like it! It has a learning curve, but it's quite flexible and powerful. The free version is completely sufficient for me, but if you want to cast to another device you'll need the paid version, which costs $4.29 just one time. Might be worth checking out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.krosbits.musicolet&hl=en\_US&gl=US

Since you are used to have a copy of the music files on your phone, I can recommend Musicolet as your standard player. It is great at playing offline music, but does not have internet access and therefore cannot stream music.

What player does she use to play audio? You could try an alternative player like Musicolet (from which I know that it can be stopped on the login screen) and test if this is a problem of the player app, or if there is a problem with e.g. missig privileges.

The app Musicolet does everything you've requested. Only plays local files and it is ad-free. (This is also my preferred audio player)

Nr 3 - you can find in settings - Advanced -> scroll to the bottom -> "Ignore certain words at the beginning while sorting."

You can even add your own words to the list, and remove others.

Mine sounded poor until I switched to Audio Mode under "Smart Audio & Video". If you are using Android, you might want to try a different Music Player; Musicolet is a free one.

I'm using A12 custom ROM and don't fcve any of these issues, but for video player I faced bugs in VLC as it's still in beta for A12 but currently using latest 3.4.3 beta and it's working normally.

For music player I suggest use Musicolet

You can export and import m3u in android using Musicolet and exporting playlist but there is a catch.

As Android use its own partitions so it's just like a backup of those playlist but I tried it just now (renaming m3u to text and it shows path of each music file)

So you just need to replace those paths (use same directory structure on both devices) and use tree command to export file list and add things in it and add some changes in it as like m3u file. In short you need to transfer all music files to your android and edit playlist and replace path.

You can use FileZilla to sync your music directory by setting up FTP server on your android.

Hope it'll help you

No for making it possible you'll need to create your folder specific playlist again in m3u formats and use Musicolet player to easily access your playlist

I use Musicolet from the app store. Works well with a usb drive connected to the phone as well as any songs on the phone.
