FOSS offline music player suggestions?

I've recently downloaded APlayer and I'm pretty happy with it. It comes with an Equalizer and lyrics support and what I really like about it is that it can display the lyrics over other apps. I haven't found any bugs so far.

APlayer ostensibly has excluding folders feature, which doesn't actually work. It doesn't have gapless playback. Animations feel slow, gestures aren't intuitive.
