Odyssey Music Player vs Vanilla Music
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Odyssey Music Player
The main focus of this project is to create an music player that is optimized for speed (even with large music libraries). * For support for this application please open an issue at our GitHub repository ( https://github.com/gateship-one/odyssey ) * It's main features are a fast music library (artist, album, file browser). Features: * Responsive UI * Album/Artists/Tracks library * File browser * Basic playlist management * Bookmark support * Homescreen widget * Basic search functionality * Colorful Material based themes * Lockscreen control * Simple Last.fm scrobbler support ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adam.aslfms ) * Artwork downloading for artist/album images (Fanart.tv, Last.fm & MusicBrainz) This music player aims to be very fast and responsive even for large libraries (> 20.000 songs). To accomplish this we try to follow the Material design guidelines as close as possible with multiple colorful themes. This music player works best with accurately taged music libraries. We recommend tagging using MusicBrainz Picard.

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.
