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!

Thanks! This looks good, took me a while to figure out the playlist and stream relationship but seems to work well.

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.

Like, it will fairly accurately record individual songs!

I use Transistor for internet radio, but I imagine it should work for your use case too.

This looks like the kind of thing I'm looking for, thanks! Am trying it out.

Including the ones already mentioned, oddly I can't find any internet radio apps in fdroid. Unexpected.
