Need A New Music Player

Not a player, per se, but an app to play my mp3's on my phone.

Google Play was willing to let me flick a switch and see only the music I'd placed on the SD card and the interface was intuitive for me.

Google Play has been disabled and supplanted by YouTube Music (YTM).

I don't like the interface and it won't be limited to showing me just the music I've downloaded.

It's primarily a streaming service, not a music player.

Even worse, I've read reports that once you've "transferred" the music on your SD card to YTM that's it you're done adding to the SD card and having YTM see it.  Unless you subscribe for $10 a month, which includes just playing everything via streaming.

Amazon Music appears to work as well as Google Play, so there's that.

VLC gets stuck "parsing" the library on the card at 67%.  It's really crunching away at something too because my phone gets very toasty.

Any other suggestions?
