Phocid vs Vanilla Music
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Phocid
This project aims to be a replacement with personal tweaks for the now-defunct Phonograph music player, but has no connections with it. Features Familiar user experience Better metadata support; Namely, multiple artists. Better sorting when your music library differs from your system language Regex-based blocklist Playback speed and pitch control More lyrics styles Optional less-vibrant colors Brand new design based on Material Design 3
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.
