It's been under my skin for a long time now, but every single free music player app I've used in the past 8 years plays my locally stored mp3s in the exact same order each time the shuffle button is on. Many others complain about that too.
I don't know if it's happening on Android OS level, but even VLC, plays songs in the exact same predictable order. I've left support notes on VLC's forums, and submitted the issue to issue cues and there are no responses each time.
None of that encourages me to pay for a premium app, shuffle has been around since CD changers.
This post makes no sense. The author goes from having no internet due to a bombardment to LLM'ing. I find it hard to share the plight of a warzone when they go unhinged to build their own audio player afterwards (?!). If I want a music player every OS comes with one, and phones hold enough storage. USB thumb drives are also good. Failing that, burning CDs and using rechargeable batteries is another off-the-grid solution that will work fine, and CDs are easily transportable and will last for decades.

I love this type of story, because it describes a different Internet that I'm familiar with. And honestly it sounds pretty rough out there! But regardless, we all should be using some kind of version control (git), and as an added bonus you'd get your pre-rewrite history from it.

"AMP" is unfortunately close to "AIMP", another music player. (https://aimp.ru/)
