Yet another slop code project

I've been using Levyra for a few weeks now & it's fantastic! Honestly, it's everything I could want in a music streamer/player. I particularly enjoy the "download on favorite" option, it makes re-building my library quick & easy.
I'll get back to you if I run across any bugs, but so far it's been flawless for me.
Really, I just wanted to say "thanks" & keep up the good work!

Isn't there already similar apps? Anyway, I am going to stick with musicolet till I find another good alternative that have parallel queues. I think you should allow people to disable the streaming part

Just a heads up, https://levyra.dpdns.org/ links to Github Discussions on multiple sites but returns a 404 when clicked.

I haven't tried your app as I'm satisfied with VLC both on my computer and on my phone.

I'm really impressed with this, I just installed it after reading the "download favorites" comment here and I'm ready to uninstall at least 3 other apps that it's replaced.
The only issue I've noticed so far is that it would be nice if, on the home screen widget, the album art would scale when the widget is resized. Whether the album art appears beside and then above the artist and track info when the size is increased or of the album art could be the background of the widget.

Which source is the stream reading from?

I gave it a shot when it was first released and loved the idea behind it! I was hunting for a frontend that would save files directly into the music folder at the time (to replace harmony music) and this fit the bill. I know you've released a few updates since its initial release so my critique may very well be outdated by now. I found the interface quite overwhelming, but still very cool to look at, it just wasn't the most intuitive for me. Finding music was a bit confusing at times, so when I would find a song I wanted to play I just started the radio hoping it would eventually find content I was interested in. However, the radio just played songs from the same artist, then eventually play music from the main page, which would be drastically different from my tastes. The player's need to play Taylor swift did drive me away a bit. One thing in the description that drew my interest was that the files discovered would be the highest quality possible, but when I checked my music folder, the files all averaged 48kbps. I eventually relegated the app to be my ringtone downloader due to this issue. Otherwise, your app was on course to become my main frontend. I will revisit your app soon though, I see you have sent some updates possibly addressing some of my concerns!

Sounds like trubago.

Hey, nice looking app. I’m definitely going to give it a try. Please ignore all the doomers who have nothing nice to say. AI is here to stay, no matter how much they complain.
At this point, it’s just a trend and a contrarian opinion “oh look at me, I hate AI”. I’ve vibe coded so many personal projects, and even vibe coding is actually fucking hard work. You can’t just tell a model “build this” and it builds it. You have to work with it for hours upon hours to get things the way you want them.
AI is here to stay. It’ll never go away, and some people need to make piece with this idea and move on with their lives.
Edit: this is probably a very long shot, but it would be fantastic if you made an iOS version of this.
