# Auxio - Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
|
|
For a list of **supported formats** read [Supported Formats](FORMATS.md)
|
|
|
|
This FAQ will be continually updated as new changes and updates are made to Auxio.
|
|
|
|
#### Where can I download Auxio?
|
|
|
|
Auxio is available on the [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.oxycblt.auxio/) repository.
|
|
Auxio is not and will never be on the play store due to it being a proprietary and draconian platform.
|
|
|
|
#### Auxio doesn't load my music correctly!
|
|
|
|
This is probably caused by one of two reasons:
|
|
|
|
1. If other players like Phonograph or Retro Music load it correctly, then Auxio has a bug and it should be [reported](https://github.com/OxygenCobalt/Auxio/issues).
|
|
2. If the aforementioned players don't work, but players like Vanilla Music and VLC do, then it's a problem with the Media APIs that Auxio relies on. There is nothing I can do about it.
|
|
|
|
#### I have a large library and Auxio takes really long to load it!
|
|
|
|
This is expected since reading media takes awhile, especially with libraries containing 10k songs or more.
|
|
I do hope to mitigate this in the future by allowing one to customize the music loader to optimize for speed instead of accuracy.
|
|
|
|
#### Why ExoPlayer?
|
|
|
|
ExoPlayer is far more flexible than the native MediaPlayer API, which allows consistent behavior across devices & OEMs and the
|
|
ability to be extended to music sources outside of local files. You can read more about the benefits (and drawbacks) of ExoPlayer
|
|
[Here](https://exoplayer.dev/pros-and-cons.html).
|
|
|
|
#### What formats does Auxio support?
|
|
|
|
As per the [Supported ExoPlayer Formats](https://exoplayer.dev/supported-formats.html), Auxio supports the following:
|
|
|
|
✅ = Supported
|
|
|
|
👎 = Not supported well
|
|
|
|
| Format | Supported | Comments |
|
|
|--------|-----------|-----------
|
|
| MP4 | ✅ | |
|
|
| MP3 | ✅ | |
|
|
| MKA | ✅ | |
|
|
| OGG | ✅ | Containing Vorbis, Opus, and FLAC |
|
|
| WAV | ✅ | |
|
|
| MPEG | ✅ | |
|
|
| AAC | ✅ | |
|
|
| FLAC | 👎 | Supported on Android 8.1 or newer. Auxio must be patched with the [FLAC Extension](https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/tree/release-v2/extensions/flac) on lower versions. |
|
|
|
|
#### Why are accents lighter/less saturated in dark mode?
|
|
|
|
As per the [Material Design Guidelines](https://material.io/design/color/dark-theme.html), accents should be less
|
|
saturated on dark mode to reduce eye strain and to increase visual cohesion.
|
|
|
|
#### Why isn't edge-to-edge enabled on versions below Oreo?
|
|
|
|
The APIs for changing system bar colors were only added in API Level 27 (Android Oreo), meaning that edge-to-edge will not work below that version.
|
|
|
|
#### Does this app keep/send any information about myself or my device?
|
|
|
|
Auxio does not log any information about the device or its owner, and it has no internet access to send that information off in the first place.
|
|
|
|
#### How can I contribute/report issues?
|
|
|
|
Open an [Issue](https://github.com/OxygenCobalt/Auxio/issues) or a [Pull Request](https://github.com/OxygenCobalt/Auxio/pulls),
|
|
please note the [Contribution Guidelines](../.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) and [Accepted Additions](ADDITIONS.md) however.
|
|
|
|
#### Can I translate Auxio to my native language?
|
|
|
|
See the [Translations](https://github.com/OxygenCobalt/Auxio/issues/3) issue for guidance on how to create translations and submit them to the project.

|
Any contributions are appreciated and tend to always be accepted.
