Music player recommendation (CalmMusic alternative)

I’ve just installed the CalmMusic app. I’ve also inserted an SD card with about 27Gb of music. Directed CalmMusic to it, which was a very buggy experience. Now two hours later the scan process is at 2%. The phone became unresponsive in the process, but by holding the power button I did get some reaction from it (a rescue call attempt, which I aborted). Now I have access to my phone again, but the progress of scanning the music folder sits at 2%.

I’m about to give up. Is there any other music player worth recommending? It should work well on the e-ink screen. I would also prefer a player that doesn’t even try to scan all music to create a database, but simply let me navigate to my music directories and play the music files in there. Like in the good old days.

@davidray: Is what @MickeyKnox experienced something known to you about your CalmMusic app?

This is not something I’ve heard about before. I also do not know how many of the users of the app have that much music on an sd card so it probably hasn’t been tested well enough for that scenario. I will have to dig into wether this is an issue with how I’m crawling the files or a limitation with the sd card bus.

Thanks for the tag @kirkmahoneyphd
