Anyone here have a recommendation for a music player on Android? The usual requirements apply; it should have good sound quality and a sane gui, be able to keep playing while I do something else on-screen and when the phone is in my pocket. My specific requirement is that it should play locally stored music files, which I put there by USB (umass mounting). Any recommendations?

Musicolet.
Get the hang of it first.
It's a fantastic app for locally stored music.

Musicolet - Offline Music Player for Android

Musicolet is a small yet powerful offline Music Player for Android, which organizes and plays local audio-files stored on your device.

@me @rkaj Installed it by downloading apk. Pretty good! But it has the same problem as all players: If I want to listen to e.g. Erbarme dich, I can't find it, because all the tracks on the album are truncated to "Johann Sebastian Bach: St Matthew Pa.."

@farnerup @me
I use Musicolet since a couple of days now. Seems to work fine for me, I mainly listen to bluegrass and folksy music (and some electro swing and other stuff) with distinct artist / album / title tagging, not a bunch of very long prefixes in the titles.

Maybe you could change that particular title to "Erbarme dich (BWV 244)" ? 🀠

@rkaj @me
REMOVE_PATTERN="Johann Sebastian Bach: St Matthew Passion, BWV244 - "
for FILE in *.flac; do
TITLE=`metaflac --show-tag="TITLE" "$FILE" | sed -e "s/^TITLE=$REMOVE_PATTERN//"`
echo $TITLE
metaflac --remove-tag=TITLE --set-tag="TITLE=$TITLE" "$FILE"
done

Do try this at home kids, but make a backup copy first!
