Comparison
Offline players for files you already have
Both Off Air and Musicolet sit in the “play music already on the phone” category. This page states Off Air facts from the live product and lander. For Musicolet’s current features, pricing, and ratings, check Musicolet’s own listing — we do not invent a competitor feature grid here.
Who each is for
Off Air is for people who want a local Android player with no streaming catalog, no account, and a hard rule that ads never appear on Now Playing or the lock screen.
Musicolet is another offline / local-file oriented Android music app. Whether it fits your library, folders, and playback habits is best confirmed on its Play Store listing.
Local files / no stream
Off Air plays songs, artists, albums, and folders already on the phone. Formats include MP3, M4A, FLAC, and whatever else Android indexes as music. There is no streaming catalog and no “download music” product promise.
Musicolet is commonly used as a local-file player; confirm streaming / online behaviour on its listing if that matters to you.
Account requirement
Off Air: none. No sign-in. Nothing leaves the phone except a Google Play Billing purchase you choose.
Musicolet: check Musicolet’s listing for whether an account is required for any feature.
Ads / unlock model
Off Air: ads never appear on Now Playing or the lock screen, and playback is never gated behind an ad.
An optional one-time Play product offair_lifetime unlocks extras such as sleep timer with fade,
gapless, exact resume, the home widget, and hiding the library banner. Play stays free. Never a subscription.
Musicolet: monetisation and ad placement change over time — verify on Musicolet’s listing rather than treating this page as a competitor price sheet.
Bottom line
Choose Off Air when you want local files only, no account, and the no-ads-on-song rule written into the product. If you are comparing apps, open both listings and try the one that matches how you already keep music on the phone.
