What Android App do you use to play your music?

I've been using VinylMusicPlayer because it has all the features I need (supports ReplayGain and playlists auto update when they are modified externally)

But I would much rather use MetroMusicPlayer as it looks so much prettier. But I'd have to manually update all playlists and it does not support ReplayGain

I should probably mention that I have limited myself to open source applications and that I don't particularly like the look of the main recommendations unfortunately.

VLC. Dunno about playlists auto updating or replaygain, but it has a lot of features and they all work well. And unlike the desktop app, the mobile version actually has a good UI.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by the functionality of VLC. And it does support ReplayGain.

It's a little unfortunate that it's Now Playing screen for music feels lame.

Ditto on VLC. Although it does have some annoying things (like it starts rescanning frequently on startup). I keep my collection in flac on a giant microSD though, so it's pretty great in that context. Paired with my Sennheisers I'm a very happy man.
