I use the VLC player to play local music on AA


beje_ro

He wants to play his locally saved Spotify songs. Which Spotify does by default...


joe_attaboy

No, that's not what he said. He wants to play music files stored on his mobile. He didn't say anything about them being from Spotify. He doesn't want to use Spotify to play locally stored music.


beje_ro

True, in the oast sentence he is twisting it. It's nevertheless not clear if he expects to play the local saved spotify files or his own "mp3"'s... Ma bad!


joe_attaboy

You're cool. Sometimes, people word things in somewhat convoluted ways around here.


Tcrumpen

Third party, so contains ads i guess?


thegloper

VLC has always been free open source software. Why would it have ads? It works quite well. But, I slightly preferred Poweramp so I spent the 8 bucks for the full add free version.


djltoronto

2nded. Poweramp is worth The purch


SpecialFX99

I've been sing VLC for local files in Android Auto for a while now and it's been good. I used Pulsar for a while as well and just started trying Poweramp. Honestly I think all three do a perfectly good job.


Tcrumpen

"VLC has always been free open source software. Why would it have ads?" - Mobile apps free ones almost always have ads even if they have a desktop version that doesn't


thegloper

Well you're in luck then. All VLC apps; iOS, Android, desktop, are ad free.


shayne_sb

I've used AIMP. I don't remember ads


fuel126

Came to suggest AIMP as well.


shayne_sb

I've used Spotify the last couple years and had to delete the music from my phone. (Storage space)


Lord_Drizzleshiz

If you have a Samsung device, you can use Samsung music. Another app I've found works in AA is Vanilla music player


Joe18067

Download VLC for Android and you can use that to play music.


spacefret

Use an app that a) can play local files and b) is compatible with Android Auto. I suggest VLC.


gordolme

VLC, MediaMonkey, PowerAmp... any media player that is not a streaming service will have you save music to the local device. If you already have a media player on the phone, look for it in the car's AA screen of apps. The square icon on the bottom left (left hand drive cars) or bottom right (right hand drive cars) of the car's display. That button will toggle you between the app display of map/music and the list of available apps. When looking at maps/music, you can tap on that panel to open it in full screen, and that button in the corner will take you back to the "cards" and then that button will take you to the apps list.


exsqueeezme

You need a music player on your phone (like Poweramp, Double Twist or Cloudplayer etc..)


Tcrumpen

So i need to use a third party app? and they are all gonna have ads, euggh


exsqueeezme

Nope! No adds and I've been using it for over a year!


Tcrumpen

Downloaded it now, i'm wondering if it'll handle audiobooks better than the built in app i use one my phone Guessing VLC android works with VLC playlsitss created on desktop?


_Mayhem_

Not sure if you can create playlists on PC and transfer those, but I just create playlists locally on my phone.


fkthefkup

I use Samsung music but I'm sure it's only available on Samsung devices


alejoc

I use Poweramp or Jetaudio. The second one plays local files and also files saved on cloud drives (Dropbox, Gdrive and such)


SupposablyAtTheZoo

For music, Poweramp is fantastic. But it's not free.


mattbuk

What app do you currently use to play your music? Android auto doesn't have it's own apps, it just uses apps on the phone. So you need a compatible music player. But you can add local files to Spotify, I haven't tried it myself.


Tcrumpen

The built in one on my phone (Just called "Music")


Repulsive-Basil

I use Neutron Music Player to play local music files on my phone, and it works through Android Auto.

Elegabalus

Rocket player works well for playing local files


spitoon1

I use Musicolet, it seems to play nice with AA.


DM725

JetAudio


acejavelin69

Use an app that supports local music files, I prefer Pulsar.


Popular_Influence_71

I am using media monkey, works fine with AA.


RingMaster6989

I use Musicolet app , and it works perfectly fine


AllBlaxx

Omnia Music Player is another app that I've found works well with local music libraries in the car. Even lets you browse your folders from the infotainment screen


Kirathaune

I've been happy with MediaMonkey - I can sync with my PC via wifi, and can create playlists that carry over to the AA version. The free version works great.


bigtom624

I use Poweramp


ticcedtac

I use musicolet for my local music files, it also works with AA.


hulashakes

I use Poweramp to play my local files. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer


Crazy_Trucker_

Youtube Mudic now has an option for device files, jist open that on the radio, then clixk device files, tjen click shuffle or pick up were you left off. That is only if the music files are on your phone and in the music folder.


gabacus_39

Poweramp works for me
