Vanilla Lyrics Search vs Vanilla Music
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Vanilla Lyrics Search
This app is a plugin. Prior to use it you should have https://f-droid.org/packages/ch.blinkenlights.android.vanilla installed. Once both player and this plugin are installed, request a context menu from library screen, select "Plugins" and "Lyrics search" afterwards. Note that this plugin requires internet connection to be useful. For file tag related operations it also optionally requires https://f-droid.org/packages/com.kanedias.vanilla.audiotag to be present. This plugin allows reading lyrics from file tag or from *.lrc file with same name. If no lyrics is available from these sources it can also download lyrics from Lyrics Wiki if it is present for this file's artist and title. Features: * Requests lyrics by artist and title from lyrics.wikia.com * Can read lyrics from file tags or *.lrc files and show them without internet connection * Can write lyrics retrieved from wiki to file tags
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.
