I personally use the built in album art fetcher of MusicBee since it also fetches album art from the iTunes servers. Riptide is an alternative, but their servers are janky as well. Even the UI is highly customisable, and to automate a lot of things, you would have no need for hacky solutions like AppleScripts or VBScripts, everything is baked into MusicBee itself.Ī lot of people have suggested AlbumArtExchange here, but I've seen posts about nonsensical IP banning from their end. Once you make the switch, the only thing you're going to miss are the micro animations that Apple designers had put out in iTunes, and nothing else. iTunes scales very poorly with huge libraries even on high-end rigs, and Musicbee simply steamrolled iTunes for me because of how flexible, and well optimised it is. However, as someone who was once glued to the Apple ecosystem and thought that things were just fine the way they were because everything "just worked", I simply think the grind to make yourself fit with the software instead of it being the other way around is not worth it. If you intend to stick to the Apple ecosystem, iTunes is probably your only bet. I like you only use a PC for work and my phone for everything else. Poweramp is a close second, but not close enough for what I look for in a playback app. There aren't too many differences, so if you don't mind some minimal banner ads the free version works just as well. Alternatively, there is a free version: BlackPlayer. Of all the playback apps I've tried on Android, BlackPlayer EX is well worth the price. BlackPlayer also has remote support, so if you have a headset or earbuds with a remote, you have all standard music controls to manage the app without waking your device: The app also has a tag/metadata editor so you can manage the tags of your library on-the-go. You can even set a custom font for the library browser now, and the UI has a gradient sample theme for your albums. More customization and a better UI are now part of the app. I hadn't updated it until just recently, and I must say, it's even better now.
After trial and error between dozens of apps, BlackPlayer had proven to have everything I needed. I had owned an iPod touch 5g before, and really liked the music app.
When I made the switch to Android, a good music app was my first concern. My personal favorite is BlackPlayer EX ($2.00 USD).
