Recommendations: What do you use on Android?

<< < (2/2)

Festivus:
I've tried several over the years but am now using Musicolet. It's small, lightweight, has customizable layouts, decent feature set, works with Android Auto, and importantly is ad-free and doesn't want to creep on you with ridiculous permissions requests. I really recommend it.

The only thing I don't like is how it treats artists prefixed with "The", i.e. "The Ramones." Instead of alphabetizing that artist under "R", the app alphabetizes it under "T." It's something that all other music apps know not to do but, until the developer fixes it, you either have to re-edit all your tags to make "The" a suffix i.e., "Ramones, The" or suffer through unnecessary scrolling. It's a problem with things like Android Auto because Android Auto will lock you out of inputting more touches (i.e., scrolling, tapping) for several seconds to force you to look at the road before unlocking again to let you scroll further.

--- Quote ---Android Auto is your smart driving companion that helps you stay focused, connected, and entertained with the Google Assistant. With a simplified interface, large buttons, and powerful voice actions, Android Auto is designed to make it easier to use apps that you love from your phone while you’re on the road.

Yes, it works with the Android Auto app that you can install on your phone and it also works with the Android Auto systems that are built-in to a lot of cars now.
