I use Vanilla Music.

It’s fine for my purposes. I don’t know what functionality you’re missing with these other programs, though, so hard to say if it meets your needs.

PixelPlayer has lyrics search and is MaterialYou themed.

Musicolet

Poweramp is nice (and a paid application) but it’s russian so it may not appeal to everyone.

Native one in miui 🙄

I like Symfonium, don’t know if it has lyrics search though

I’ve been enjoying fossify music player. My main issue is that the sorting is based on metadata, and not folder structure, but other than that, it’s a solid music player.

It doesn’t have any lyrics, though, which is not helpful for what you’re looking for

VLC has been great on graphene for a year or so but recently started having issues playing over bluetooth in my car. Tried a few open source options from FDroid but wound up going back to Omnia (Sandboxed play store) for now. No more playback issue for a few days now.

Seemed to happen when I got Graphene’s Android 17 update, but I can’t say for sure it was that. The issue I have with it currently is that playback audio cuts out in the car, but the screen still indicates it’s “playing” - track time still ticking. I’d have to tap to pause and tap to resume to bring it back, and it would only last a few minutes before doing it again.

I think it’s likely less VLC’s fault and more likely an Android 17 thing.

The open source apps I tried worked a peach, but didn’t let me use the car’s (Honda) menu to browse music or select albums. Most of the ones I tried didn’t even appear as options while trying to use the car to change what music I was listening to.

Pulsar+

Neatly ordering stuff how I want it to.

gone mad music player

i use it to play my offline files using smart playlists (all songs in rock or metal genre rated 4 stars or higher by me). it also has a view lyrics option that will either display the lyrics from the files’ lyrics tag or search them in a lyrics search service. it’s not free but i’ve more than gotten my money’s worth out of it

Musicolet. it does everything I need for local mp3s. and SomaFM for streaming.

I use Metro (link goes to f-droid) which does something with lyrics. I don’t use that feature so I’m not sure if it searches for them or just displays them if they’re embedded in the file.

Good player though, doesn’t look like it escaped from the noughties. Local files only, no streaming.

AIMP is pretty good. I’m not audiophile tho.

Metrolist , Riplay ,monochome

I self-host my music with Navidrome, play it with Tempus on Android.
