Bodacious

Bodacious is a multi-platform music player for playing your local files first and foremost. Its design is inspired by Spotify, it's built with Flutter, and it's open source, which means if you think Bodacious is missing a feature, you can add it yourself!

Available for:

• Android on Google Play, F-Droid (coming soon), IzzyOnDroid and as an APK
• Linux on Flatpak (coming soon) and as an AppImage (MPV required)
• Some other platforms if built from source. These are not supported, but may include iOS, OS X, and Windows.

Features include:

• Custom libraries: choose where you want your music to come from
• Familiar UI
• Last.fm scrobbling (enable in Settings)
• Last.fm, MusicBrainz, and Spotify metadata at your fingertips (enable in Settings)
• (Desktop only) Discord Rich Presence
• Queue control (mostly)
• Most* of your basic features (apparently equalizers are essential now?)

Coming soon:

• Reorder items in the queue
• Custom metadata: set custom covers, names, and descriptions for music, which (if you want) can only display in Bodacious
• MSE support: Music Synchronized Effects are a new way to use your existing app as a visualizer. MSE files can instruct Bodacious to change the background, cover, or lyrics on the fly to add a little more visual pizzazz to your music.
• Equalizer. I personally never use this but whatever

bodacious's Issues

NOT AN ISSUE: Home screen is empty

The "Home" screen, seen when launching the app, is empty. This is not a bug! There's just nothing on the home screen yet.

Suspected memory leak

I'm not sure where it is but Bodacious, specifically, is known to crash on some occasions while playing music with an unknown cause. I have experienced at least one instance in which Android appears to kill Bodacious for using too much memory, and where Bodacious becomes visually unresponsive when minimized on Linux (note: I was using Wayland when I experienced this but I believe the issue persisted with X.)

These issues are hard to track down as there are no indicators given of even when this type of error occurs. Crashes on Android are much harder to track on end-user devices and I am not able to implement crash-trackers due to (legal or apparent) privacy concerns.

It has been a while since I used Bodacious so I don't know the extent of the issues now, on more recent Flutter versions. If you encounter any random crashing please file an issue with any information you have.

NOT AN ISSUE: Playlists screen shows "D"

The Playlists screen is being worked on, and the "D" is a placeholder (the other tabs used to be A, B, and C).

(If you were spying on the repository, you might have noticed a deleted features/playlists branch. That's where the work is being done, but I unpublished the branch to keep my local copy up to date with bugfixes landing in main more easily.)
