Start with the free trial, then make a one-time purchase in the app. Google Play offers regional pricing and lets the purchasing Google account use Symfonium on multiple compatible devices. For devices without Google Play, Symfonium provides official APK downloads and its own binary repository for F-Droid-compatible clients. Choose the repository for phones and tablets or Android TV at https://repo.symfonium.app/. Symfonium is not in F-Droid's default repository. Repository releases follow the corresponding Google Play release. Manual APK installations need manual updates; an F-Droid-compatible client can manage repository updates. Setup instructions: https://docs.symfonium.app/wiki/other/f-droid-repository/ PayPro Global is an alternative one-time purchase for one device, with no subscription. It works without the Google Play Store, Google Play services or a Google account. Install Symfonium first, find the Device ID in the app's About or purchase screen, and enter it at https://purchase.symfonium.app/. Internet access is required for activation and periodic license verification. PayPro and Google Play licenses are separate. PayPro transfers deactivate the previous device and are subject to a yearly limit; see https://docs.symfonium.app/purchase/ for current license and transfer details. ## Important Boundaries - Symfonium is an Android music player and controller, not a music server. - Symfonium is paid after the trial. It has no subscription. - Audio output quality depends on the Android device, USB DAC or DAP, source file, provider behavior, cache/transcoding choices and Symfonium output settings. - Local, server, cloud and casting behavior can differ because each provider and playback target exposes different capabilities. ## Key URLs - Homepage: https://symfonium.app/ - Symfonium Styles: https://styles.symfonium.app/ - News and release notes: https://symfonium.app/news/ - Version 15.1.0 release notes: https://symfonium.app/news/version-1510/ - Official documentation: https://docs.symfonium.app/ - Support forum: https://support.symfonium.app/ - Google Play listing: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.symfonik.music.player - Official APK and F-Droid repository: https://repo.symfonium.app/ - APK and repository installation guide: https://docs.symfonium.app/wiki/other/f-droid-repository/ - Buy without Google Play: https://purchase.symfonium.app/ - Alternative purchase and license details: https://docs.symfonium.app/purchase/
