Auxio - Frequently Asked Questions
For a list of supported formats read Supported Formats
This FAQ will be continually updated as new changes and updates are made to Auxio.
What is Auxio?
Auxio is a reliable and customizable local music player that I built for myself, primarily.
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 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 with any translations you want to be added for now.
Why ExoPlayer?
ExoPlayer is far more flexible than the native MediaPlayer API, allowing Auxio to be extended to sources that aren't just the local files on the phone, while still providing consistent playback behavior across devices and OEMs.
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 do 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 do plan to add them however.
Why are accents lighter/less saturated in dark mode?
As per the Material Guidelines, accents should be less saturated on dark mode to reduce eye strain.
You will be able to set the accent to something less saturated when I implement custom accents.
Does Auxio have an equalizer?
No. Don't need it. Will never add it.
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 those versions, but it would take awhile.
How can I contribute/report issues?
Open an Issue or a Pull Request, please note the Contribution Guidelines and Accepted Additions.
Does this app keep/send any information about myself or my device.
Never. There's no need. Auxio can't even access the internet.
