#musicolet

Randomly wanted to share my music taste~

What do you think? 🌼

I canceled my spotify premium and downloaded a big chunk of my music (will chip away at the rest over time)

I used a combination of spotDL and amp3.cc >:) and I'm using musicolet as a player

I love Musicolet on my phone and I wish it had a native desktop version.

I'm ideally looking for something FOSS and something I can install through pacman, but I'm open for options. But it does need to be able to play FLAC files.

List of music players I've tried:

things Musicolet does: - supports basically every file type, including multiple lossless file types (i use FLAC) - auto sorts by artist, album, even genre, assuming the CD has that encoded - allows you to custom-tag individual songs, albums, and even artists -- so if your CD doesn't come with that stuff auto-encoded, you can do it yourself - auto-adds album art if the CD has it, and if it doesn't then it's easy to add it to the album yourself - playlists! both custom playlists and premade ones like favorites, recently added, recently played, most played, etc - MULTIPLE QUEUES! holy crap this one is a life changer. - customizable equalizer - the shuffle feature works better than spotify's, but also there's a bunch of advanced shuffle settings if you want them

It's a great little app called Musicolet.

I hated iTunes when I had an iphone, and when I switched over to an Android phone I vowed never to even get involved with Play Music (which I had encountered before and did not like), so I went looking for an alternative. It came highly recommended for people who were willing to put up with a slightly less intuitive interface to get what they wanted, because it's reasonably customizable. I believe it may be Android-only but I haven't looked.

Basically, about 99% of my tunes are MP3s that I ripped from CD, bought from Bandcamp, or "acquired" through nefarious means. They live in my computer, I don't want to view them in anything other than Windows File Explorer (I didn't want to have to use iTunes or Google Play to upload them to the phone) and it's very tough these days to get a music app that will take MP3s and NOT TOUCH THEM. I didn't want the app to do ANYTHING except play them. Musicolet is extremely good at that, to the point where if you try to alter a file in any way through the app (it will let you change the properties, rename it, move it, delete it, etc) it asks your permission every time.
