Like what the title states, just want to give a heads up that this app completely doesn't work when I try to play my offline music. I can download, scroll and look for songs, but once I get to the menu were all my music is listed and try to play them, this screen appears every time.

I currently had this app as an alternative to Trebel Music, but looks like I'll have to keep looking elsewhere.

Thought I tried this app but I guess not. Installed it from both F-Droid and IzzyOnDroid (essentially github release). Couldn't get the app to do anything really. Wouldn't play anything (known issue on their git). Not even sure what its music sources are.

You mentioned Bandcamp. I buy googobs of music from there. Transferred all my music to a NAS running Jellyfin and Navidrome then stream using various clients. Sometimes it seems like I'm hearing some tracks for the first time.

If I feel a need to discover new music I'll use the Bandcamp app or go through the flood of emails they send. :)

Don't forget that Newpipe and Pipepipe are also Bandcamp & Soundcloud clients. You can random stream (and download???) using those.

I'm deciding to look into buying music and just saving it to my local music player. Most of the music I'm looking for is on 7digital.

Interesting. Never heard of them before. Doing some reading I see they've been around a very long time (mostly as content provider). Even once had an Ubuntu music store. Didn't realize that the company that bought them, Songtradr, also bought Bandcamp (resulting in the loss of half their employees). I remember when Epic Games bought the latter but didn't pay attention after that. Been three years since Epic sold.

Can't access 7digital on the phone I'm typing on now (guess it doesn't like IVPN) but checked it out on another. Not bad but no flat pricing like on Bandcamp. Charge differently depending format (mp3 vs flac). I'm in the U.S. so will stick with what I know.
