      Its way nicer. And I especially love the built in Download Manager. In the official App you just download files and have to play them yourself.

        And keeps the playback time updated on local files. It also manages surround downmix better than the internal app.

      It is a good question, I had the same when I first heard about it.

      I think lots of people keep both installed:

      • the default one is good for managing server related things
      • this one is good for daily use, especially for any other users you might have

      What I liked:

      • feels much faster and smoother
      • UI is nice and clean
      • download manager works nicely, as another user mentioned. You don’t need to open a separate app to play the files

        That’s exactly my usecase. I was on a travel and used the offline-mode. Really easy to stay on progress without network.
