I've been following a lot of these, and unfortunately nearly all of them are dead.

  • YouAmp - Alive, jetpack compose + material v3, but very early in development. Barely any features. Probably our best hope for the future of these.
  • Tempo - The best current option, but dead for ~6 months. Has a few bugs, but lots of features. Java, not kotlin, but appears to be material 3.
  • Ultrasonic - Great option, lots of features, but dead for ~a year.
  • Dsub - Dead for 2 years, but revived now with a few bug fixes via this one. Doesn't have much of a future, not being jetpack compose / m3.
  • Subtunes - Dead for 2+ years.

Tempo was looking great and then it just stopped it seems. Still my daily driver but I was hoping for more updates.

I still follow Tempo. The updates were already slow (every 3 months?) But it has been a long time since any news :(. Hope he/she is doing okay !

I just don't like the layout of Tempo. Don't like side scroller, with bunch of stuff showing up in tiles. I'll stick with Ultrasonic until something better comes along.

That's why I don't like Navidrome, have to click on "more" to update the lists, as well as being a horrid id tag app. Fucks up your music unless all your idtags are set up perfectly.

I love the artist list in Airsonic. It just works. Still use it today although dead for a long time. Even if it looks like an 80's app. Been using it with Supersonic on my Linux box.

Oh well.

If you can use Ampache, for example if you are using Nextcloud, you may want to check Power Ampache 2.
