Why are Android music players so universally terrible?

>Special snowflake UI that doesn't follow any Android design or logic
>Showing pictures of all the artists, most of which don't even have a picture
>Gapless doesn't work on most
>Using "Artist" instead of "Album Artist" for the metadata
>Trash UIs that barely function
>Many apps having simple features such as manually setting album art

I mean even Apple got it right in 2007. Why the fuck can't Android developers get it right 10 years later? What the fuck is wrong with them?

Sounds like you're the problem desu

Phonograph

Shuttle is another music player that follows material design guidelines

Not using Sony's music app which is the best
>>
>>55717806
Just downloaded it and it even supports folder browsing.

I think I've found my new music player.

>>55717806
Does it show proper artwork tho?

I have image files set as artwork for my mp3 files, but shuttle doesn't update them, so I'm stuck with 1 image over 20 songs, 15 of which have different album art.

Did you disable something in the settings? The pictures should've been downloaded the moment you got internet.
>>
>>55717914
idk, I embed my artwork and that works fine

I think he has a Huawei phone

Would explain why it looks so much like iOS desu
>>
>>55718140
>>55718128
Yeah, EMUI 3.1. Its just called Music. I'd actually buy an iPhone if it wasn't so fucking limited in things you can and cant do. Huawei's EMUI is the second best thing.

musefag!

>>55717888
This, most of my music is in .m4a because of that. I use jetAudio and foobar. Foobar is still bad, but gets better with each update. For now, I'm looking for something decent
>>
>>55718183
That album art resolution is absolutely atrocious.
>>

>I'd actually buy an iPhone if it wasn't so fucking limited in things you can and cant do.
Same here. iPhones look nice but iOS can't even compete with Android in terms of functionality.

Why would you care about artwork faggot? It's a fucking music player. Are you gonna stare at the cover all the fucking time? No

>>55718165
EMUI breaks standard Android functionality just to look/behave like IOS. It needs a special version of Xposed. It fucks up all icons of apps by wrapping them in square boxes *system-wide* (so also on other launchers and you're forced to use icon packs), etc.

Word.

The only problem is BT streaming seems a bit broken because the tags are not transferred properly.
>>
>>55716634
I'm not a phone fag, can someone name me a good music player application that let's you remember where you were in your podcasts or radio shows so next time you fire it up it's where you left off?
>>
>>55716634
That's why Poweramp exists
>>
Is it possible to import your uploaded Google Music library to a player that doesn't have such an awful interface?
>>
>>55717888
Free: foobar2000, AIMP, Youki, Capriccio

Paid: GoneMAD, Neutron, Poweramp

I pirated GoneMAD, it's pretty good.
