i've started using poweramp and it's nowhere near as pleasant to use as play music used to be for local files. it's usable but the UI is pretty awkward and bloated in places. i tried using youtube music and while the UI is more pleasant it was also awkward from being so streaming-focused and would also regularly order album tracklists incorrectly, completely ignoring disc numbers (so it'd go disc 1 track 1, disc 2 track 1, disc 1 track 2, etc.), and putting tracks 10+ before track 2 which was a real dealbreaker. i never had a problem with it not being able to read local files without network availability though.
