Auxio

A simple, rational music player for android.

Changelog | Wiki

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 Built off of Exoplayer, Auxio has superior library support and listening quality compared to other apps that use outdated android functionality.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 ExoPlayer that enables some extra features. So, the build process is as follows:

1. cd into the project directory.
2. Run python3 prebuild.py, which installs ExoPlayer and it's extensions.
   • The pre-build process only works with *nix systems. On windows, this process must be done manually.
3. Build the project normally in Android Studio.

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 Accepted Additions for more information.
