i have a rather large music library on sd card (~250gb and well over 10k tracks) so i am looking for a player that is able to handle that. so far i been using vlc player because the last time i was looking for a player i came to the conclusion it was the best option for a library this large. most other players would hang or slow down considerably with that many files. the only other player i have used for a while was auxio and i was quite happy with it but an update broke how it handles files and now it keeps forgetting my library and has to rescan everything whenever i open the app.
my problem with vlc now is every time i add some files to the sd card it needs to rescan every single file, which takes quite a long time. i hope there is maybe a player out there which would satisfy my needs:
-is able to handle a large library
-is able to apply replay gain
-has a dark mode
-doesn’t need to rescan everything whenever i add a new album to the sd card
in case you have a recommendation for a case like that please LMK, thanks!
I don’t know about the rescan requirement you have, but Symfonium handles my very large Jellyfin music library (and supports local libraries and many other libraries as well). Has good equalizer options including volume boost and very good native theming that supports dark mode and material you. Paid app but very well worth it if you listen to lots of music on Android. I’ve been using it for years and it’s regularly updated, I’m very happy with it.
