A modern offline music player with familiar designs for Android 11+.
This project aims to be a replacement with personal tweaks for the now-defunct Phonograph music player, but has no connections with it.
-
Familiar user experience
-
Better metadata support; Namely, multiple artists.
-
Better sorting when your music library differs from your system language
-
Regex-based blocklist
-
Playback speed and pitch control
-
More lyrics styles
-
Optional less-vibrant colors
-
Brand new design based on Material Design 3
-
Tag editing
The scene of audio file tagging is a disaster. The best metadata support library I could find is still buggy; I recommend using well-known dedicated software for this task.
-
Deleting files
-
Anything that requires an internet connection
-
Lock screen
These features are hard to implement and/or of no personal interest. If you want to see a feature, please file an issue.
-
Playback statistics
-
Widgets
-
Notification customization
-
Expect hangs or crashes when having a large number of tracks queued. This is an upstream issue at androidx/media#81.
-
Phocid consumes more system resources than other players, and the UI occasionally stutters.
First of all, please try the latest release from GitHub. F-Droid updates can lag behind for as long as 7 days. GitHub and F-Droid builds have the same signature, which means you don’t have to uninstall when switching download source.
Enable "Advanced metadata extraction" in preferences.
A crash report should have been saved to Android/data/org.sunsetware.phocid/files/crash.txt in your external storage.
Please create an issue with the report attached.

Please ask first if you want to work on big code changes. Instead of directly contributing code to Phocid, it would be great if you can help with big upstream issues first, like https://bitbucket.org/ijabz/jaudiotagger/issues/65/add-support-for-ogg-opus-format or androidx/media#81. (Please let me know if you have successfully closed those!)
If you would like to help with translations, see issue #1. Please don’t submit machine translations or AI hallucinations.
I don’t accept donations.
