Hires Music Player for PPP - Fying Flish - 08-21-2022

Hello everyone,

I am new to the forum and wanted to ask the community a quick question about music players available on mobile Linux.

I understand the OS is still not in Beta and this request is of quite low priority, but I am keen to buy the Pine Phone Pro and the only thing holding me back is the lack of a decent music player for this phone.

I am currently using Poweramp on a Fairphone 3+ inside Ioda android, which I am very happy with, it ticks all the boxes form me including being able to play DSD files, and import and export M3U8 playlist files.

On my laptop I am running JRiver inside Qubes OS.

However I would much prefer a fully Linux phone, can anyone tell me if there are any decent music players available?

I have looked at all the usual's from the online lists, but don't know how many of them will run on the PPP, I also understand the Ubuntu Touch recently removed support for Cantata.

Following the discussion on United & Co, I typed in the following diagnostic.
Cantata and MPD can be installed.

Okay, many thanks

I personally just use desktop VLC on my PPP. The UI is clunky on touch but it gets the job done. Whatever runs on Linux should work on a pinephone.

I used squeezelite a while back - logitechmediaserver is elsewhere on the network and reachable by VPN. I didn't try LMS on the phone, but given the various things using it on the Pi I doubt it would be a problem. MPD would be another option.
