Folder Player Pro

About this app

Folder Player Pro is a directory - centric music\mp3 player and is a more advanced version of its free counterpart.

In addition to the features of its Free counterpart, which offers features like no ads, compact yet feature-rich alternative music player which uses folders as playlists to play music or audiobooks, it adds the following capabilities on top of free version:

- Priority updates
- Unlimited tagging, allowing you to create multiple "playlists"
- Extended cross-fading functionality
- Ability to auto-delete tracks during playback
- Option to stop on power loss
- Option to continue playback for next folder, after current folder finishes
- M3U support


Some of the other features shared between two editions:

- playing folder trees AND individual files within folders
- integration with Bluetooth headphones (and your car)
- integration with last.fm (via scrobbler)
- pauses during phone calls and navigation speech
- sequential and random play
- configurable settings
- Equalizer
- Double press headset button to skip track
- Search

NOTE: Google demanded that this app should not have access to images and video files, so I had to remove those from Google Play's version. See details on official site below.

Ratings and reviews

I've had the app for ages, purchased the paid version eventually, and I'm pretty happy with it. However, there's a minor but annoying bug in current version (early May 2026): when "play folder" is clicked, the first song doesn't play until you open the folder, choose the second song and then click back on the first one. Peter, please take a look. The app is five stars nonetheless! Thanks for the prompt response, video sent ✅

I've been using the free version for years and just decided to buy the pro version to support the developer, the free version is awesome too. The app is for people who prefer to stay in control of how your audio files are organized (in folders). It's very convenient, lots of features, and now it even supports android auto. Highly recommend! Edit: The behavior in Android Auto is not ideal. Every time you live the app, switch to a different audio app and then come back to Folder Player, it completely forgets which folder it was in and what it was playing. It would be nice to fix it so that like many other apps, it resumes from where you left off.

I used to love this app. Then I bought the premium version. Now it craps out occasionally and needs to be uninstalled/reinstalled about once a week. Update: I appreciate the response. Sometimes Google maps will cause the need to reinstall. So I'm not blaming just you or the app. It's just really frustrating. Still use the app most of the time.
