Vanilla Music vs Vanilla Tag Editor
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Vanilla Music
Music player with a simple interface similar to the stock music player. Supports browsing by folder, queueing, shake-to-skip and more. Supports the same audio formats as the stock music player since the system media APIs are used. This is a fork of https://f-droid.org/packages/org.kreed.vanilla which is no longer being developed by its author. We keep that in the repo as it supports Android versions below 4.0.3.
Vanilla Tag Editor
This app is a plugin. Prior to use it you should have https://f-droid.org/packages/ch.blinkenlights.android.vanilla installed. Once both player and this plugin are installed, request a context menu from library screen, select "Plugins" and "Tag Editor" afterwards. This plugin can edit metadata tags of the various music files and persist them to the file being edited. Note that not all music files support storing tags in metadata as this depends on format. Also note that artwork fetching and persisting is done in another plugin, https://f-droid.org/packages/com.kanedias.vanilla.coverfetch that is also available from store. Features: * Tag editing of multiple audiofile formats (mp3/ogg/flac) * Any supported tag: Title, Album, Year, Lyrics, etc. * Lightweight (640 KB in release apk)
