Why ViMusic Needs Custom Settings?
As an open-source app, ViMusic is super customizable. Unlike Spotify, you’ll need to change some settings so that it can give you the best music experience.
Essential Playback Settings
Audio Quality
Open Vi Music & head to Settings>Playback>Audio Quality, and set it to “Always High”.
I know always high will also use High data, but trust me—it’s worth it. Because Vi Music fetches songs directly from the API without deteriorating their quality.
Buffer Size
ViMusic lets you control the buffer size. A bigger buffer reduces stuttering, especially on slow connections. Set it to “5 seconds” or “Adaptive” if your internet isn’t super reliable.
Background & Battery Optimization
Android’s battery optimization features can be… well, brutal. They often shut down apps like ViMusic in the background.
Allow Background Playback
Within the ViMusic app, turn on “Play in Background” under the Playback Settings.
This makes sure the app keeps playing no matter what you’re doing—scrolling Insta, reading emails, or texting your crush.
Ensure MicroG is Installed Properly
If you’re having trouble with songs not loading or blank search results, chances are MicroG isn’t installed or updated.
Final Notes
ViMusic is powerful, no doubt about it. And if you change the settings that are described in this post, then you will surely be able to enjoy your favorite tune in the best quality, and you will never face any playback issue.
