• Use Transifex for translation? E.g. https://www.transifex.com/vanilla_music/vanilla-music-1/

• Gradle: Dont repeat yourself - Set common compileJava, android and sonarqube (for android) options only once See e.g https://discuss.gradle.org/t/how-do-i-detect-if-a-sub-project-has-applied-a-given-plugin-e-g-jar-or-war/4974

• Fix: After service was killed: Continue from last artists instead of starting new
