Android Music Player - Musicolet

For several years, I have used MediaMonkey to play MP3 music files on my PC and on my Android phones.

My PC version has no signicant defects but the Android version on my newest phone has recently manifested sporadic volume dips on playback.

MediaMonkey advice is to level the MP3 files on the PC before transfer to a phone then invoke volume levelling withing the phone app. I tried that but the "dipping" still occurred.

While looking for a new Android music player, I came across "Musicolet", a free app with no internet access required, so no ads and no solicitations to stream/download/upgrade.

It's a clean, unfussy app which, at the moment, does all I need with no volume "dipping" .....

Re: Android Music Player - Musicolet

I spoke too soon - the "dipping" returned with Musicolet .....

It seems to be a common problem with the sound system on my phone, a Motorola G7 .....

So, I've uninstalled Musicolet and returned to MediaMonkey ..... but with a speaker plugged into the headphone socket - so far, no "dipping" .....

Thanks, but I don't need another (complicated) app - the problem seems to lie within the phone. There is obviously some resource contention between built-in software and intalled apps - at the moment, I'm looking at accessibility interfaces, like those for reading text out loud - maybe they're the culprits .....
