TuxGuitar vs Vanilla Music
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
TuxGuitar
TuxGuitar is a multitrack tablature editor and player. It can open Guitar Pro and PowerTab files. With TuxGuitar, you will be able to compose music using the following features: * Tablature editor * Score Viewer * Autoscroll while playing * Note duration management * Various effects (bend, slide, vibrato, hammer-on/pull-off) * Support for triplets (5,6,7,9,10,11,12) * Repeat open, close and alternative endings * Time signature management * Tempo management Note: this version of TuxGuitar is missing google drive functionality as it depends on a proprietary library.
Vanilla Music
Music player with a simple interface similar to the stock music player. Supports browsing by folder, queueing, shake-to-skip and more. Supports the same audio formats as the stock music player since the system media APIs are used. This is a fork of https://f-droid.org/packages/org.kreed.vanilla which is no longer being developed by its author. We keep that in the repo as it supports Android versions below 4.0.3.
