Hey everyone! I’ve been working on SMusic, an open-source music player for Android. I built it because I wanted a music player that feels fast and simple while still having the features I personally wanted. Some things I’ve implemented: Clean and lightweight UI Background playback Media notification & lock-screen controls Equalizer/audio settings Queue and playback controls Open-source codebase Focus on performance and a smooth Android experience Source code: https://github.com/devxrohan/SMusic⁠
