I Still Prefer Vlc - Blog Posts

Let's rate these 6 free music players on Android

All of these are good and do play music well, so I will be critiquing on minor things, any will likely work well for you

Last place, VLC

The inability to edit tags really brings it down, it has very unique UI and some things really need to be edited in the settings like the full scan of phone files being on by default gets annoying. But having the queue on the same page as the music control is really nice.

AIMP, It works well, I just hate the vertical UI

Pulsar, it works well but I dislike the UI, such as not showing album art in the songs section

Metro/Retro and Oto Music are tied for 3rd because they have incredibly similar UI, down to both having a home screen, if you choose one it really comes down to minor differences

Musicolet wins, it really wins for me based off how it shows how many times a song has been played in it's most played songs sections, multiple queues and synced lyrics but I think that these are minor things that come down to preference
