A2DP Volume vs SoundCrowd
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
A2DP Volume
Automatically adjusts the media volume on connect and resets it on disconnect. This is done so that stereo streaming audio can work properly. Intended primarily for car Bluetooth systems. It can read out text messages using Text To Speech (TTS) services while you are connected. Each paired Bluetooth device or virtual device (home dock, car dock, power connection, or headset plug) can be configured to your liking. There is a manual on the website. A secondary feature is the ability to capture location information so you can find where you left your car. The location can also be automatically captured when exiting Car Mode on your Android device and read by any app that understands GPS data.
SoundCrowd
SoundCrowd is a free, open-source and lightweight music player for Android in modern material design, specialized for playing long music tracks (DJ mixes, live sets, audio books).It features the generation of waveforms that visualize your music tracks during playback and can be used for precise seeking through gestures.You can create cue points at your favorite positions in your music tracks. With these markers in the waveform, you can remember them and easily jump back to them.Want to know the track id of a specific part in a mix? SoundCrowd comes with build-in audio tagging support by using SongRec, an open-source Shazam client implementation, and creates cue points for found track ids. Unlike Shazam, the app records the internal audio of the player, so you don't need to grant access to the microphone or play the music loud!The app contains build-in plugin modules to support the following online streaming services:SoundCloudYouTubeSpotifyBeatportTidal
