Alternative for Huawei Default Music App

I have a very specific way of listening to music: I throw a bunch of stuff on my phone, and then i use shuffle. The problem arises with the fact that Huaweis default music app isnt really that good... The shuffle option repeats songs after extended non listening time (ill listen to music today and then leave my phone and hear the same song come on shuffle tomorrow) and it deletes my metadata everytime i add/remove songs(some of them have had metadata added afterwards bc they were pirated). So what im pretty much looking for is a music app that has a shuffle all which would create a random playlist of songs that wouldnt change and would stick to it untill all songs were played. And would also allow me to edit metadata that wouldnt change if changes were made to my music library. XPERIA phones(i use to have one before) had a very good music app, so thats pretty much what im looking for. (And no, im not asking for streaming services, im talking about offline listening).

I use blackplayer on my phone. I find it to be better than the stock music app.

Google Play Music can do all that shuffle stuff, not sure about the metadata.

Music player is quite important for me and noticed stock players mostly suck. After researching and trying different players on Google PlayeStore I found that best music app is: Black Player with all the necessary things it should have (lyrics, metadata editing options, good design and lots of customizing options).

It just randomly went from song 50-something on shuffle back to song 1(which is a song i didnt even hear). I was really digging Blackplayer, why the fuck is it doing this?

Mine has never done that. I have never had any issues what so ever with it.

(Yes it's the Xperia app and technically you shouldn't have it but you're already a pirate so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.)

Are you able to try an app called DoubleTwist Pro? Or are you looking for a free music player?
