Ratings and reviews

After all these years, this is still the best music player available for Android. Vanilla absolutely wrecks the competition, all while being Free and Open Source. No other music player offers the level of flexibility in regard to library management, and no other player matches Vanilla's stability and consistency. I've tried so many others, but always end up back here, because while it's not flashy, it's exactly what a music player should be on a mobile device.

Almost perfect, but with one major burr. On the whole, Vanilla is a very fast, very light, and very clean media player. I really, really like it, and if my music libraries and tastes were a bit different, it would be perfect. However, it does not handle compilations well; it treats all contributing artists as independent artists, instead of grouping it all under the album artist! It's the only major issue I've had, but it's why I can't give 5 stars. Still really good, just not for my library.

I'm not a fan of Google Play Music, and Vanilla Music is a great alternative, with lots of features you've come to expect. It has custom playlists, browsing by artist, album, or song, and gives you direct control of the play queue. It's everything I want in a music player without all the bloat of Google Play. If you're looking for a clean and simple music player, give Vanilla Music a shot!
