I've been looking at some music players for Android, but so far they've all had bugs. Can you recommend something similar to Musicolet that's available on the Play Store?

I really like Auxio.

I like Auxio, but I ended up keeping Metro, because it has built-in metadata editing for songs.

Does it have to be on the Play Store?

I recently started using the Fossify Music Player. It's on F-Droid.

Fossify music player is also on playstore. It was one of the first I've tested but I can't figure out how to separate the artists, it was a little buggy

I often have to force close the app to get it to play after pausing the music.

VLC has been working for me without issue for weeks.

On F-Droid Phocid is good

VLC maybe.

Two on F-Droid I enjoy (there's lots more):

mucke
Symphony (not sure if it's still developed but it's a great app)

I don't use it but axio has been rock solid in my experience.

I like gramophone but it's had some bugs, where auxio just has just done anything I've needed without issue when I was trying it out

I'm just fussy about user interfaces, and while axio is a quite nice material 3 ui, gramophone is more beautiful to me

I use Phocid, maybe a bit too minimalistic regarding you used Musicolet. It is only available on F-Droid though.

The metadata indexing (when the advanced metadata is activated) works wonders.
UI is straight forward and simple and until now I did not encounter any bugs (LineageOS and e/OS).
The folder structure is maintained and can be found under the "Folders" tab.
Sound quality is good, way better than VLC (what I used before).
Battery usage is, as far as I can tell, low

I haven't been able to move on from musicolete. The lyrics display and playlist handling is alluring. If you find something open source though, I'm all ears.

Second for Musicolet

I haven't been able to find something better than Music Folder Player.

I don't know why it's so hard for Android apps to just respect my folder layout and not clump all files together.
