Gotta say I really like and enjoy this music player. I've had the original Google music player before that got combined with YouTube and a couple of other music apps over the years but with the music being on my phone the app automatically knows the artists and the mechanics are really easy to learn I think the only thing that'd be really cool is having the ability to favorite an album

This is the best music player Iโve used so far ๐ถ โ it definitely deserves 5โญ. That said, the lyrics experience needs improvement โ ๏ธ: 1. No proper synced lyrics support โ adding online integration like lrclib would help ๐. 2. Lyrics UI feels outdated and unclear โ needs a modern, clean design ๐จ. 3. Use a centered layout with smooth line transitions for better readability ๐ฏ. 4. Add tap/click to jump between lines for synced lyrics โฉ. Fixing these would greatly improve the overall experience

it's a great app, 5โ plays music just as It's supposed to, however after the update-audio randomly disappears, it shows its playing but produces no audio it also loses audio when transitioning to the next song until you open it back up even after allowing unltd battery and other exceptions. Until this bug is fixed It might be better to use a different music player. Update after 1 yr, background playing still notified, it plays but ko music is produced.

Still have terrible support for FLAC files. First it was random skips during them. Not it just freezes mid-song, and it isn't clear why or which FLAC it'll affect. I want to use this, but I just can't. It's been like this for over a year now.
I really love the UI and how aesthetically pleasing it is, it worked just fine but by hour 2 after using it, I was editing the songs when the app suddenly crashed. It was fine at first because I could open the app again but after 3 or 4 more crashes, it's keeping me from opening the app again. Please fix this, I was really happy seeing the features it provides, and I intend to use it as my main music player :<
