Used this for years, might be the best local music player on a smartphone. Not as fancy as desktop Foobar, but still very useful. I only have two nitpicks: 1. when you select a genre, you have to select an artist before playing music in that genre, so you can't play a genre shuffled across artists. 2. On tall screens (21:9), Foobar stretches out the UI to fit it, making icons unnaturally tall. It would be nice to optionally display more track info in that extra space.

It doesn't beat the desktop version but I guess simplicity is the priority here. I love the ReplayGain scanner. But it completely quits the app when you clear it from recent apps. I prefer to exit by a close option in the notification just like other players. Also it'd be nice if you add AAudio and include one track repeat in the repeat toggle of playback page. Update: Sometimes when I connect to BT it stops playing and doesn't play until force stopped. It also stutters after receiving calls.

While the UI leaves something to be desired (namely an editable playback queue, a tag viewer, and multi-select in the library and playlist views), this is still one of the top 10 music players for Android. Why? Stability, performance, capability, and output flexibility. Foobar handles large collections of music without crashing, offers perfect gapless playback, a variety of DSPs, support for streaming radio & media servers, and sports a library with configurable whitelisting + blacklisting.
