Music Player App (self.degoogle)

Hi, I've been using vlc as my music player but it really struggles after 5k local songs so I'm looking for an alternative. The main problem I have is that after switching to the user account that has my local media, vlc refreshes and clears my playlist and I'm at the point where it's becoming a bit frustrating. I already tried the majority of music player apps on fdroid but they all have issues with the metadata (no album art, unknown genre, etc...). Any help?

Edit: If it matters for troubleshooting, I'm running grapheneos and use vlc on a seperate user profile where my local media is located.

Edit #2: Phonograph plus seems like my best option rn but feel free to give more options to help others

I've always loved Vanilla Music Player. It also has some plugins which extends some functionality.

It is foss, lightweight and has a great black theme
