Urgent help - android phone media player for ripped CDs

[golemmings]

Sorry. Posting here for traffic.
It's my dad's funeral tomorrow and we're providing the music. The room the service is in has no power.

We're using a combination of music from YouTube and CDs that we own. We need certain choirs/settings which are important to dad (what is on YouTube hasn't been released on CD or as a download). I had thought we could rip them and play from Spotify... But we can't.

What can we use that won't require a power source to play them?
Music from a phone could be done discretely. Changing CDs would interrupt the flow.

Given it's tomorrow, does anyone have any easy solutions?

Many thanks.

I have a free app on my phone called Voice Recorder. It’s like an old tape recorder with the Play and Record buttons. Could you use something similar and record from one phone playing what you want to the Voice Recorder? Sorry about your dad. Ps: this app picks every last detail up so you need to be very quiet when recording just like you had to with a tape recorder.

are the songs that are on cd on spotify, could you play these from pre organised a spotify playlist then switch to YouTube so that it is all controlled from a phone?

A laptop?

If you pay for YouTube premium you can download stuff to your phone/laptop and then cancel your subscription and just play then through a Bluetooth speaker. Is the issues that the CD stuff isn’t available online to download?

This one has good reviews

How big is the room? How many people? Will a tinny phone speaker be loud enough? A Bluetooth speaker would be an improvement. On sound quality.

Be careful YouTube, you don't want silly adverts blasting out at the wrong moment.

If the venue doesn't have power, I presume also no WiFi? So this will all be on mobile data? Is the signal good enough.

If it was me I would not want to be relying on a mobile data connection, I would want the music downloaded somehow and ready to go.

How techy are you? Do you have access to a laptop? There is software available that can download the audio from YouTube videos. Or even something like Audacity would be able to record whatever you are playing on your computer.

Sorry for your loss, I hope everything goes as well as can be expected.

Google a YouTube to MP3 converter. Paste this link of the video and you’ll get the music file. There are some dodgy ones though, so only open the file if it ends in .mp3.

hope all goes well with the funeral OP. Sending hugs

Thank you all. Great point about YouTube adverts!
We stripped them down to mp3s and i managed to get them onto Spotify as a downloaded play list. As spotify tends to randomly delete downloaded lists we've also whatsapped them to each other as back up.
We also have a sound bar (battery powered).

For playing ripped CDs on Android, you can use apps like VLC for Android, Poweramp Music Player, or Musicolet. These apps support MP3, FLAC, and other formats, offering great sound quality and music management. Simply transfer your ripped files to your device and use one of these players to enjoy your music. For Spotify download, you’ll need to use the official Spotify app or a premium account for offline listening.
