Bodacious vs Com-Phone Story Maker
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Bodacious
Bodacious is a multi-platform music player for playing your local files first and foremost. Its design is inspired by Spotify, it’s built with Flutter, and it’s open source, which means if you think Bodacious is missing a feature, you can add it yourself!Features include:Custom libraries: choose where you want your music to come fromFamiliar UIMost* of your basic features (apparently equalizers are essential now?)Coming soon:Custom metadata: set custom covers, names, and descriptions for BodaciousMSE support: Music Synchronized Effects are a new way to use your existing app as a visualizer. MSE files can instruct Bodacious to change the background, cover, or lyrics on the fly to add a little more visual pizzazz to your music.Equalizer.

Com-Phone Story Maker
Com-Phone Story Maker helps you create multimedia narratives, combining photos, audio and text in exciting ways to tell digital stories. The app's simple interface helps you create your own photo slideshows to document your life; send to other devices running the application or play back locally; create templates; export as a movie; upload to YouTube; or, save a web version to self-publish. Each story can include any number of media frames. Each individual frame of the story can include an image or photo, up to three layered audio or music tracks, and text content. Anything in a frame can be edited at any time – for example, you can pause audio recording and then resume later, or load pictures from your media library. All elements of each frame are optional. For example, Com-Phone can also be used as an annotated photo diary, a simple audio recorder, a text and sound tool for discussion about current events, or even a multimedia survey app. A simple printable user manual is available at: https://digitaleconomytoolkit.org/manuals/com-phone.pdf. Com-Phone is completely free, with no adverts and no unnecessary permissions. The app is open source as part of the Com-Me toolkit – you can fork any of the Com-Me tools on GitHub: https://github.com/communitymedia.
