What Vinyl Music Player is
Vinyl Music Player is a free local music player for Android, released under the GPL-3.0 license. The project is a fork of Phonograph and makes its Pro features free. Playback can use network sources, and the player supports Android Auto, ReplayGain, and writing access to SD cards. The repository links to GitHub releases, F-Droid, and Google Play for downloads. Its latest listed release is version 1.11.0, with settings export and import among the described features. The privacy policy says information requested by the app stays on the device and is not collected by the developer. It also says third-party services may collect identifying information, while error logs can contain device and app details, an IP address, and usage date and time. The developer says it uses commercially acceptable protection measures but cannot guarantee absolute security. The service is not directed to children under 13. The Free plan costs nothing and includes all Pro features.
