Built an offline music player after watching my parents struggle with every app out there, now using it myself too
Watched my parents struggle with basically every music app out there. Spotify wanted logins and subscriptions. YouTube Music kept showing them videos and ads they didn't understand. Even the built in players had settings and icons that just weren't simple enough. All they wanted was tap a song and it plays. Maybe skip to the next one. That's it. Ended up building something for them and now I use it more than they do. It's called Jagsin Player, it's live on the Play Store. Open the app and your songs are right there. Tap and it plays. Zero setup needed. The best part is it works fully offline since it just picks up the songs already on your device. You don't need internet for any of that. Internet is only needed if you want the extra stuff I added like global radio and podcasts. There's thousands of channels from around the world if that's your thing but it's completely optional. There's also a login but it's only there if you want profile avatars and animated themes. You can skip it completely and everything in the app is free either way. Login or no login nothing is locked behind a paywall. I also added language options since not everyone is comfortable with English. Default is English but you can switch to Hindi Marathi Gujarati Punjabi or Urdu. Whatever language you pick the entire app changes to that right away, every menu and label, not just a couple of screens. Made a real difference for accessibility. While building it I added a few things I personally use a lot. A ringtone cutter and maker built right in since I got tired of downloading a separate app just to trim a song into a ringtone. Pitch control with single tap presets for slow normal and fast instead of messing with a slider every time. An equalizer and an 8D audio toggle for that spinning around your head headphone effect. Just one tap on or off nothing to configure. This isn't trying to replace Spotify or anything with streaming. It's for people who have their own mp3s and just want something simple that works. Honestly not sure if I've done a good job with this or not, just tried my best with what I know. If anyone's dealt with this or wants a simple offline player or a free ringtone maker without extra bloat let me know, would love the feedback. It's called Jagsin Player.
