With Elisa by KDE, you can browse your local music collection by genre, artist, album, or track, listen to online radio, create and manage playlists, display lyrics, and more.

Installed it on android and… it sucks. Only 32-bit for some reason. Can’t open my files and doesn’t even ask for permissions. Instead, loads forever.
I also did use the Desktop app a few times and I also hate it because when I want to play my Music files, it opens Elisa but only plays the last music selected + the queue where I tried to open the files. Its extremely user unfriendly
I’m using Elisa, but for some reason I can’t get it to import some .flac files from yt-dlp. It’ll play them, but won’t put them in the library, maybe because it can’t import metadata, since there isn’t any?
Looks cool, but well the Linux app ecosystem and the inability to standardize anything and/or have simple binaries. I really don’t get the people that go for Linux for privacy/preservation/not-dependent-constantly-on-the-internet and then everything is a repository hosted somewhere that’s hard to archive or crazy container-like formats.
