Musicolet alternative?

I'm using this music player (sadly not Foss) but after last update is not working anymore (issue with gplay app)...any Foss alternative to it? feature that I'm looking for is playlist creation and export, file management (delete/copy file)...music cut/trim is a plus Thanks

edit: at the end I choose vanilla music seems an abandoned project but it l accomplish all my needs. Hope someone can refresh the project (UI especially... 😉) Thanks To all

I'm not 100% sure on the feature set, but Symphony (also available on f-droid) is a super nice local music player!
- seems nice, but I'm having issues on updating m3u playlist, even of I import a playlist it is not showed when trying to add a new song to that list, just favorites is showed (same as with VLC, don't know why)
  
  Hmm, that is weird, I can't really help on that as I haven't really had any issues with it. Maybe see if there are any issues filed on github regarding the problem, and if you like it enough, maybe file an issue if you can imagine yourself using it!
I'm using VLC and Metro nowadays, they're pretty good but VLC has better "file management" which is more of an inbuilt explorer. Both can manage Playlists to some degree but haven't checked the export import yet. Honestly for file management I just use my pc with terminal and Picard and just sync it to the phone. Might wanna check them out.
- playlist management is nonsense with VLC don't know why they don't simply use absolute m3u format 🙆‍♂️
  
  Checked it out for you. Metro has save to file option, which saves the Playlist to m3u format
Check out my list: github.com/Psyhackological/AAA?tab=readme-ov-file#music-player

Maybe you will find something useful. :)
Gramophone is nice
- seems very basic and no easy folder navigation
  
  Maybe Aplayer (izzy) or Apollo (f-droid) is something for you
  
  I like the theme and simplicity of Gramophone
I can't say for sure as I'm hosting my music these days, but in terms of open source local music players which aren't just rebadged Phonograph, I recommend Auxio
- thanks, tried it but doesn't have folder music management, for my local music lib is a must...☹️
I use AIMP, its pretty good.
- are you sure it is Foss?
Namida
- seems good for what it says...but why not on fdroid?...and seems not foss
  
  It is totally foss find it on github. I also know and trust the developer
I like RetroMusic
- seems not updated by a year, sure is not abandoned?
  
  I wouldn't know
