MusicVault Go
MusicVault Go was created for those who have been collecting digital music since the days of the CD. When you open it, it scans your storage and automatically groups files by artist, genre, and year; if it detects missing covers, it downloads them in the background when you have Wi-Fi again. Its strongest point is the multi-source download manager: Paste a purchase link (Bandcamp, Jamendo, Free Music Archive) and the app downloads the MP3 or FLAC, tags it, and adds it to your offline library in one step.
Highlighted Features
- Internal converter that transforms FLAC to AAC 256 kbps to save space without losing much quality.
- Sync with PC via Wi-Fi: Drag folders to your browser and MusicVault copies them to your phone wirelessly.
- Metadata Editor: Edit track names, track numbers, and genres directly from the app.
- Ten-band parametric equalizer that works offline.
