Yes, it is good, but i will not spend money on the play store.
I understand the Big Tech revulsion, I'm a hardcore, privacy-first self-hoster 10 years deep, but the app was like 5 bucks one time and it's been my daily driver for about 3 years now. It tops every other android *sonic app. It has multiple backend sources so if you change your media server down the line, Symfonium will connect to it. TOTALLY WORTH THE MONEY!
I honestly dont listen to music enough for it to be worth it to me, but it definitely looked clean and worked well when I tried it.
I just wish it wasnt the only worthwhile option.
