Opus 1 Music Player vs Vanilla Music
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Opus 1 Music Player
Instead of "Artists" and "Songs" in pop(ular) music, this program uses the metadata composer and grouping to organise the music in works (e.g. a symphony) consisting of movements (parts of this work). Further, no text is truncated, i.e. long movement names or performer lists will take as much space on the screen as they need to be visible in full length. This application might be seen as an advanced version of the Unpopular Music Player, with added music database query functionality and further enhancements. The program can work together with the Classical Music Tagger and the Classical Music Scanner. Features: * Starts with album list and cover art. * Nowhere text is truncated (with "..."), even the longest work and movement descriptions get the space they need. * Composer and grouping (work, movements) * Views: albums, composers, works, genres, performers, folders * Filter for combinations of composer, genre etc. * Text search * Play lists * "gapless" playback (as far as supported by Android) * If configured, uses database built by Classical Music Scanner, otherwise the system database. * Call Classical Music Tagger or Classical Music Scanner directly from app * Meta data transferred via Bluetooth to car radio * Six colour themes * Scalable UI, also for tablets * Portrait and landscape orientation * Perfect gendering-ism, especially designed for useresses and users from German civil service.
Vanilla Music
Music player with a simple interface similar to the stock music player. Supports browsing by folder, queueing, shake-to-skip and more. Supports the same audio formats as the stock music player since the system media APIs are used. This is a fork of https://f-droid.org/packages/org.kreed.vanilla which is no longer being developed by its author. We keep that in the repo as it supports Android versions below 4.0.3.
