Android network audio stream client (self.foss)

Can anyone recommend a good Android network audio stream client?

VLC works but is too full-featured. I want to set up a couple of bookmarks, open the app and start/stop/view metadata.

Thanks!

I use VLC for the handful of streams I need regularly. In the More tab you can create launcher (home screen) shortcuts for recently viewed streams and then rearrange them into a group. It doesn't get any more straightforward than that.

I find the VLC Android app a bit odd for audio only. There's a lot of wasted space and I can't see the name or metadata very clearly.

I agree it works, and I didn't know about the shortcuts and will try that.

VLC is amazing, but it doesn't feel like the best tool for this.
