Which music player do you use on android?
I tried rush, it's pretty cool. But I guess I will stick with PixelPlayerOSS. It can search the lyrics within the music player app itself. Which is awesome. The only thing about PixelPlayerOSS I dont like is that it doesn't have a good album view.

SicMu Player for local files
SimpMusic for streaming
both should be on f-droid

I've been enjoying fossify music player. My main issue is that the sorting is based on metadata, and not folder structure, but other than that, it's a solid music player.
It doesn't have any lyrics, though, which is not helpful for what you're looking for

VLC has been great on graphene for a year or so but recently started having issues playing over bluetooth in my car. Tried a few open source options from FDroid but wound up going back to Omnia (Sandboxed play store) for now. No more playback issue for a few days now.
Seemed to happen when I got Graphene's Android 17 update, but I can't say for sure it was that. The issue I have with it currently is that playback audio cuts out in the car, but the screen still indicates it's "playing" - track time still ticking. I'd have to tap to pause and tap to resume to bring it back, and it would only last a few minutes before doing it again.
I think it's likely less VLC's fault and more likely an Android 17 thing.
The open source apps I tried worked a peach, but didn't let me use the car's (Honda) menu to browse music or select albums. Most of the ones I tried didn't even appear as options while trying to use the car to change what music I was listening to.

Booming Music worked the best for me. I tried Rhythm, but last time I used it, it slowed down my phone and drained the battery.
An issue that both have is that they don't read metadata of WAV files.

I've recently switched from Phonograph_Plus to Fossify, and it's definitely a lot more stable if nothing else.

I have. Tempo is a bit abandoned. Tempus has momentum and android auto support.
