Classical Music Scanner vs Vanilla Music
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Classical Music Scanner
Scans the device for local audio files and builds a database to be used by Unpopular Music Player or Opus 1 Music Player. Contrary to the Android service it knows about composers, works, movements, conductors etc.
V
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.
