i have a rather large music library on sd card (~250gb and well over 10k tracks) so i am looking for a player that is able to handle that. so far i been using vlc player because the last time i was looking for a player i came to the conclusion it was the best option for a library this large. most other players would hang or slow down considerably with that many files. the only other player i have used for a while was auxio and i was quite happy with it but an update broke how it handles files and now it keeps forgetting my library and has to rescan everything whenever i open the app.
my problem with vlc now is every time i add some files to the sd card it needs to rescan every single file, which takes quite a long time. i hope there is maybe a player out there which would satisfy my needs:
-is able to handle a large library
-is able to apply replay gain
-has a dark mode
-doesn’t need to rescan everything whenever i add a new album to the sd card
in case you have a recommendation for a case like that please LMK, thanks!
but i have my library on my phone, why stream it?
So you don’t have to rescan every time?
But then you need to stream it every time, which is more frequently.
I mean yeah, it’s basically “build your own Spotify.” Also, you get to free up that space on your SD card, little side bonus.
I’m aware, but if you have the free space, why waste the bandwidth?
Just two different solutions to the problem, I guess.
