Musicium

Musicium, offline.

An Android player for the audio already on your phone: songs, voice notes and ringtones, each in its own tab. No ads, no account, no internet permission.

Request the build See what it does

No catalogue.
Just your files.

  1. Sorted into three lists

    Name a file “Voice 004” and it lands in Recordings. Drop a thirty-second track into Music and it stays a song. The rules run on the file itself, so nothing has to be tagged by hand. Anything the app gets wrong can be moved in one tap.

  2. Playlists and a queue that behave

    Adding a track tells you which playlists already have it, so nothing is added twice. “Add to queue” appends without interrupting what is playing; tapping a row replaces the queue, the way a tap should.

  3. Every control inside your thumb

    The mini-player carries previous, play and next, and a seek bar you can actually drag. Swipe it up for the full player: artwork, elapsed and remaining time, and repeat that cycles off, all, one.

  4. No network permission at all

    The app cannot phone home, because it never asks Android for the internet. Nothing is collected, nothing is uploaded, and it plays in aeroplane mode on the first launch.

    uses-permission:
      READ_MEDIA_AUDIO
      READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
      FOREGROUND_SERVICE
      POST_NOTIFICATIONS
    
    no INTERNET

Files in, in order.

A name-only preview of the rules the app runs on the device. The phone also knows which files are ringtones, notifications and alarms.

Recording

Starts with “voice”, which the app reads as a voice note.

    A file in the wrong tab, a playlist that will not open, a crash on launch. Include the phone model, the Android version and the file name. It saves a round trip.

Both addresses are plain mail. No forms, no trackers, no queue numbers.
