This may be of interest to people who keep a lot of MP3 files stored on their phone.
For the longest time I've been using the the built in Samsung music player in my Galaxy phone as the default music app to play mp3 music on my phone. Until recently - the latest update, which I had no say in, suddenly started displaying blatant advertising inside the music app. Just what everyone wants to see in their $1000+ phone. So I deleted it off the phone and looked for options.
Most free options were garbage that were also loaded with advertisements. Until I found Musicolet. This is a free high power music player that doesn't even connect to the internet. No telemetry, no advertisements, nothing. A emphasis on privacy and it works well.
I've been using it as my default music player since. It works well with phone connection to Sync, showing all the normal info, album photo, and allowing all the normal functions. Very configurable, with randomization, repeat and all that.
But when connected through Android Auto, it's pretty clear they had that in mind when designing the app. It shows up as a supported app, has even more functions, it will display controls and some music functions while in map mode, and you have almost the full powerful functionality of the whole app while in Android Auto mode. You can browse folders, artists, genres and so on.
So I recommend checking it out, especially if you are sick of Samsung pushing advertisements in your face.
