Auxio

A simple, rational music player for android.

About

Auxio is a local music player with a fast, reliable UI/UX without the many useless features present in other music players. Built off of modern media playback libraries, Auxio has superior library support and listening quality compared to other apps that use outdated android functionality. In short, It plays music.

I primarily built Auxio for myself, but you can use it too, I guess.

The default branch is the development version of the repository. For a stable version, see the master branch.

Building

Auxio relies on a custom version of Media3 that enables some extra features. This adds some caveats to the build process:

1. cmake and ninja-build must be installed before building the project.
2. The project uses submodules, so when cloning initially, use git clone --recurse-submodules to properly download the external code.
3. You are unable to build this project on windows, as the custom Media3 build runs shell scripts that will only work on unix-based systems.

Contributing

Auxio accepts most contributions as long as they follow the Contribution Guidelines.

However, feature additions and major UI changes are less likely to be accepted. See Why Are These Features Missing? for more information.
