I open a petition to change the default applications of notes and music.
My proposals are:
Vinyl Music Player for music instead of the stock lineage os music app; it lacks features: you cannot search inside the library, see music folders, etc…
Nextcloud Notes for notes, although the current app is a fork, it has less features and it feels more buggy than the original nextcloud one.
So in my opinion, these 2 easy changes to the default apps will drastically improve /e/OS and take it to the next level
p.d. also to add the nextcloud app by default would be great
Have you tried groove music? I love the feature of this app and its appearance is just awesome. I am addicted to this app whenever I am working in my company which is balloons delivery I always run this in the background and don’t hesitate to listen to the best music of my daily life.
Is that the Groove Music Radio app by appactiva from the Play Store? Streaming, with the trackers and ads? Quite sure that’s not something that one would consider for a default app in a deGoogled environment.
I used Vinyl for sometime but eventually ran into some issues (can’t remember exactly what, but I want to say it was crashing quite a bit).
I would agree that the current default Music app is somewhat lacking and would recommend Retro Music Player (named Metro on F-Droid). I have yet to find anything I dislike about it.
