Still have to find an app who can sort albums by year properly (without mess with tags also).
I went from Spottube (which runs off Spotify) to Innertune (YouTube music) because Spottube crashed one too many times and I kept having to rebuild my library...it's not much but still.
I also like the UI and different listening modes.
Symphony github link It has nice UI, very polished and have folder view and lyrics support But there's a major catch, unlike other players, you will need to keep the app open in background
Gramophone github link Also have a nice ui, but not very polished. Absolutely usable. Have folder view and lyrics support
Metro is the only music app I need in my life. Supports lyrics and folders too.
Use Retro Music instead. Metro is a ripoff and doesn't credit the original
Unfortunately not on F-Droid, but you can get it through AuroraStore, Musicolet.
What is folder play?
A music player which "just plays whatever is in a directory". Very handy for people having a media folder with artist folders and album subfolders. For the type of people, like myself, who focus more on tidy and disciplined storage of files instead of managing ID3 metadata etc
