A simple folder-based music player for Android. Does exactly what it says, nothing more and nothing less.
I created this out of frustration back in 2013, because no existing apps supported what I want from a music player (being able to play audio files from folders in the filesystem is unheard of!). Even today, Google Play Music does not support playing from a folder.
- Plays all audio files in a folder on loop, sorted by filename (natural sorting)
- Mostly navigable with just your thumb on large phones
- Supports playing directly from SD cards
- Regular file browser navigation
- Uses as little battery as possible for a music player
- Dismissable notification with playback controls
- Native lockscreen playback controls on older systems
- Runs on Android 4.1+ (Jelly Bean), so basically everywhere
- Audio is paused if headphones are unplugged
- Dark theme (Holo)
- No ads
- No album art
- No playlists
- No shuffle
- No equalizer
- No repeat options
- No sorting options
- No casting support
- No landscape mode support
- No audio library scanning
- No background services which drain battery life even while not being used
I created this app for myself. If someone else finds it useful, then that's pretty cool. However, I'm not going to implement any feature requests, unless I personally want/need that feature. Feel free to fork and customize, but don't expect PRs to get merged. This was my first Android project, so expect potentially weird code.
This is a preconfigured Android Studio (version 4.0.1) project, converted from the corpse of an old Eclipse ADK installation.
