The author is using PowerAmp.<p>I am using AIMP. I was specifically looking for apps with downloadable APKs for sideloading. I can't use the Play Store because I don't have a google account. Looks like PowerAmp also has an APK.
Now I'm wondering if I can load plexamp on my ancient Nexus 5a...
PowerAmp is an incredible app, used it and loved it before. I have a self-hosted streaming setup, so I've personally found Symfonium (1) to be my go-to. I'm glad things worked out for the author with this setup, and honestly the headphone jack is a sight for sore eyes.<p>(1) <a href="https://www.symfonium.app/" rel="nofollow">https://www.symfonium.app/</a>
