Music player optimized for speed and simplicity? - Indeed.
About this app
The main focus of this project is to create an music player that is optimized for speed (even with large music libraries).
* For support for this application please open an issue at our GitHub repository ( https://github.com/gateship-one/odyssey ) *
It's main features are a fast music library (artist, album, file browser).
Features: * Responsive UI * Album/Artists/Tracks library * File browser * Basic playlist management * Bookmark support * Homescreen widget * Basic search functionality * Colorful Material based themes * Lockscreen control * Simple Last.fm scrobbler support ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adam.aslfms ) * Artwork downloading for artist/album images (Fanart.tv, Last.fm & MusicBrainz)
This music player aims to be very fast and responsive even for large libraries (> 20.000 songs). To accomplish this we try to follow the Material design guidelines as close as possible with multiple colorful themes.
This music player works best with accurately taged music libraries. We recommend tagging using MusicBrainz Picard.

Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete
Launch the app from your home screen
Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.
How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be org.gateshipone.odyssey is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 1.3.2 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Odyssey Music Player first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Odyssey Music Player, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
