Hi. I read the OP but didn't really find a solution to my problem. I just got an Android phone (Jelly Star because a small smartphone is all I ever wanted) after having been an Apple user and having been made to give up my old SE. I still have a macbook and that's where all my music is. On iTunes. And now I'm not sure if I can access it on my new phone. It's not a deal breaker or anything exactly but it is an issue. At first glance there doesn't seem to be an immediate solution but I can't imagine I'm the only person to have encountered this. Any ideas what app could work?

VelociBacon posted:Apple music is on the android store, is that not what you need? It is and while this may be me being incredibly bad at tech, it doesn't let me access my library. Not without paying, which I frankly don't agree with. I sort of just wanted a way to transfer music from my computer to the phone and that's not really what's happening here, it was never an issue prior. I'll keep at it.

So Google Music Player isn't a thing anymore. I can only use Youtube Music and it takes ages to load the next song, like a good 30 seconds sometimes, rarely does it play a song within 5 seconds, and never immediately. I don't know if it's my phone (Jelly Star), which has been running everything like a dream otherwise. I only added 465 songs to be used as a biking/driving playlist. It's not a small amount but it's also not enormous. All I need is an app that plays the songs I downloaded onto my phone in shuffle on a bluetooth speaker. I looked into Poweramp but as of Aug 23, it doesn't seem to automatically play songs while using bluetooth according to a review. I'll pay if I have to but I'm very reluctant to do so for what seems like a very simple expectation. I'd be pretty annoyed if I got a player that sticks ads into my own songs. Were it streaming fine but that's not the case.

sirbeefalot posted:Try VLC? Not sure if by "automatically play songs while using bluetooth" you mean just proceed on to the next track when one ends, or if you're looking for totally hands-off starting of music when you connect to the speaker. Looking in the settings, there's one to detect headset insertion/removal, and another to resume on headset insertion but I'm not sure if that extends to BT audio devices. I mean the former. The review I read said this quote:there are Bluetooth problems: when I start to listen to a set of files, the player stops after the first track and I have to move manually to the next track. I don't mind hitting play at the top of the playlist. That's not a problem. I just want it seamlessly move onto the next track w/out a 30 sec gap. I'll try out VLC. Thanks!

Skarsnik posted:Power amp has a trial iirc, just try it and see No need! VLC is perfect. Went to the track list and hit shuffle. Plays the next track perfectly with no lag. I'll try it with the speaker tomorrow but there's no reason for it not to work. Tried YouTube music with headphones and it continues to struggle loading tracks.
