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
