Ratings and reviews

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!

Literally the only damn music playing that ACTUALLY let's you whitelist/blacklist in a way that makes sense. I download a lot of files and I'm so sick of manually having to add a blacklist rule for every new thing I download. Vanilla let me whitelist one folder (SD card/Music) as the only place to look for songs. I've been looking for this. It's perfect. Tons of other options too. BUT I CAN'T SET IT AS MY DEFAULT PLAYER. VANILLA IS NOT RECOGNIZED AS A MUSIC PLAYER. SO I STILL NEED ANOTHER APP.
