# 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.
|
|
|
|
## What is Auxio?
|
|
|
|
Auxio is local music player for android that I built for myself, primarily. Its meant to be both simplistic and straightfoward while still remaining customizable.
|
|
|
|
## Where can I download Auxio?
|
|
|
|
Nowhere currently, I still need to make some changes before its ready to be put up on public-facing stores. See the [Releases](https://github.com/oxygencobalt/Auxio/releases) to download it for now. It will arrive on F-Droid eventually.
|
|
|
|
## Can I translate Auxio to my native language?
|
|
|
|
I still need to set up Weblate, but you can open a [Pull Request](https://github.com/enricocid/Music-Player-GO/pulls) with any translations you want to be added for now.
|
|
|
|
## Why ExoPlayer?
|
|
|
|
ExoPlayer is far more flexible than the native MediaPlayer API, which allows Auxio to have consistent behavior across devices & OEMs, along with allowing Auxio 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).
|
|
|
|
## Why is there no black mode?
|
|
|
|
Android does not support a black mode directly, only dark and light. Therefore I have to implement the mode myself, which will take some time. I plan to add it however.
|
|
|
|
## Why cant I have a custom accent?
|
|
|
|
Custom accents would require some changes to the accent system in the app, which will take some time. I plan to add them however.
|
|
|
|
## Why are accents lighter/less saturated in dark mode?
|
|
|
|
As per the [Material Guidelines](https://material.io/design/color/dark-theme.html), accents should be less saturated on dark mode to reduce eye strain and to make it look better in general.
|
|
|
|
You will be able to set the accent to something less saturated when I implement custom accents.
|
|
|
|
## 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 (Oreo MR1), meaning that edge-to-edge will not work below that version.
|
|
|
|
I could possibly extend edge-to-edge support to earlier versions, but it would take awhile.
|
|
|
|
## Why doesnt edge-to-edge work when my phone is in landscape?
|
|
|
|
When a *phone* [Not a tablet] is in landscape, the insets meant to make the UI fit dont work properly, therefore the feature is mostly disabled.
|
|
|
|
## 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).
|
|
|
|
## 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. |
