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.

Help & FAQ

If your problem is not covered by this page, you can create an issue or discussion depending on the severity.

Features

  • 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

Missing features that are intentionally left out

  • 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

  • Playback statistics

Contributing

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 androidx/media#81. (Please let me know if you have successfully closed those!)

If you would like to help with translations, please use the translation editor and follow the instructions. Alternatively, you can use your preferred translation tool, set it up for Android + ICU MessageFormat 1.0, then submit a pull request. Please don’t submit machine translations or AI hallucinations.

I don’t accept donations.
