I found a cool little app on F-Droid called Gramophone. It has neat little animations that make me happy, and it can color the player controls according to album art. I’m a sucker for nice UI. I was using Auxio before that. Both are good.
If you want something for ad-less streaming, RiMusic is really nice. For local audiobook playback with chapter selection, Voice is the best I’ve found so far.
Kind of bs, seeing as how I use my friend’s account (with permission) to access the free Udemy courses that his career provides him and I’ve never seen this. Figures they’d nail legitimate users and completely miss people who abuse the system. Typical Microsoft.
Hope an alternative comes someday; I’ve always disliked LinkedIn.
