I Built My Own Clean, Ad-free Local Music Player by Cainman(op):
Hey guys,

Like many of you, I got completely sick of stock music players loaded with endless pop-up ads and hidden data drains just to play a local MP3 file. So I decided to stop complaining and built my own solution: Lumeno Player.

It’s lightweight, 100% ad-free, and comes with smooth audio visualizers. Since it’s strictly for local files, it won't touch your mobile data in the background.

The first build is now live on Google Play. If you're looking for a completely clean listening experience, please check it out.

You can find it by searching "Lumeno Player" or "Lyxo lab" on the Google Play

Let me know what you think. Thanks for supporting independent projects!

Good job OP. What is the long term for this project? Will you sell if huge money is thrown at you or it's just for fun for now? I just want to understand your philosophy first.

Can't find it.

If you can study TTPOD and see how their app is, you can modify this one into something better. Let us be able to access individual folders in the phone. Also, make us be able to mark songs individually to play them just like VLC. If you could fix these two features, the app will be good. You can reach out to me to get apk file of TTPOD cuz it's no longer on Playstore. Kudos 👍🏽

This is a very good development, I like music a lot. I used to use Spotify, but I became tired of it.
1. You need data
2. They don't have some songs I like to play
3. Subscription
4. Some of the songs in my system has better audio quality than what they have there

Are you looking at the copywrite side of things? So you dont get sued by some people whose songs you play without their consents and approvals.

grin grin Thanks bro! Since it's brand new, Google Play is still indexing it so direct search can be tricky right now.

You can try searching full name "Lumeno", "Lumeno Player", or just grab it directly from our link: lyxolab.com/lumeno

Let me know how it runs on your device! 👊
Re: I Built My Own Clean, Ad-free Local Music Player by Cainman(op): 2:51am On Jul 21
Thanks a lot bro! Seeing Lumeno running smoothly on your device made my day.

Enjoy and let me know if you have any suggestions for future updates! 👊

Re: I Built My Own Clean, Ad-free Local Music Player by Cainman(op): 2:55am On Jul 21
grin Haha, long-term, I just want to keep refining it! My main motivation was actually to make song cover art look better, which is why I built the custom visualizers and skins—and I'll keep adding more.

As for selling it... honestly, I don't think anyone would buy a tool that stays forever ad-free anyway!

If a tool does its work well and people like it, the big guys will buy it. That's what I meant.

Ah, the Equalizer is actually already in the app! 🎛️
Just tap the icon with five vertical bars to the left of the "Previous Song" button on the player screen. You can tweak manual settings or pick presets there—give it a try!

As for Streaming URL: technically it's easy to add, but it might trigger compliance/policy issues with Google Play store reviews. I've noted it down and will research how to handle it safely without risking the app. Thanks for the input! 👊

Wow, TTPOD is a classic! 🚀 Folder view and multi-select queuing are both solid suggestions—I've added them directly to my roadmap for upcoming updates. Stay tuned!

Spot on! Offline music gives you total ownership—no sub fees, no missing tracks, zero data, and pure high quality. Thanks for the support! 🎵

Re: I Built My Own Clean, Ad-free Local Music Player by Cainman(op): 3:34am On Jul 21
Haha appreciate you looking out! But legally speaking, Lumeno is just a tool like other local audio player.

It does not host, stream, scrape, cache, or distribute any audio files or metadata. It only plays files that are already saved on your own phone.

So copyright-wise, it's 100% clean and fully legal! 👊

Re: I Built My Own Clean, Ad-free Local Music Player by Cainman(op): 3:39am On Jul 21
Ah, gotcha! Man, I totally agree with you on that.

Building an app isn't the hardest part—building one without chasing aggressive monetization is where it gets rare. Big tech exists for profit, but Lumeno exists to stay simple, fast, and 100% honest.

For me, Lumeno is just a clean offline tool. The moment I bloat it with ads or user tracking, it loses the exact reason why I built it in the first place.

Okay. Where are you from and what is your native language?
Re: I Built My Own Clean, Ad-free Local Music Player by jamesjude: 6:39am On Jul 21
The audio quality is distorted when you try to reduce the play speed. Please work on that in your next update . Also try and make the thumbnail of the artist playing to be spinning as a CD disc, also add skin for cassette player for the old school among us too. You can add that as part of the skins to chose from. Nice work anyway.
