Chubby Click - Metronome vs SicMu Neo
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Chubby Click - Metronome
NOTE: The app is no longer developed. Chubby Click is a metronome designed for the musician that needs to easily manage a setlist of songs. The app features three sections: * A conventional metronome with tap tempo * A Setlist where songs can be added and sorted, and where the click for each song can be started/stopped with a single tap * A Practice section where metronome can be programmed to automatically increase/decrease BPM over time * Each beat in a bar can be accented or muted Setlists can be exported and imported. Sound (notes pitch and duration) can be customized and two presets are provided. The metronome can be controlled using media buttons on an external device (e.g. Bluetooth headphones).
SicMu Neo
SicMu Neo is a lightweight, full-featured, file-based audio player with a simple to use UI and low resource footprint. It is especially well-suited for large music libraries organized in folder structures. Installation Note: After a fresh install it might be necessary to go into the settings, scroll down and trigger a media scan. This will take at most one minute. After restarting the app, your music should appear. Features: * Song grouping by artist/album or folder structure * Multiple shuffle modes, multiple song repeatition options, A-B looping, set playback speed * Shake the phone to skip a song (after enabled) * Light: starts in sub-second time and runs with no delay for music libraries with >1K files * Audio metadata reading * Filter by and edit star ratings * Notification with sound control * Scrobble support via third-party apps * Sleep timer (turn of music after X minutes/hours) * Multiple color themes (dark-red, dark-white, white) * Supports virtually all audio formats (mp3, ogg, flac, wav, ...)
