Folder Player

About this app

Already organized your music in folders? Folder Player gives you direct access to your audio library since 2010 :)
Folder Player is FREE (NO Ads, NO in-app purchases!), minimalistic but powerful alternative music player which uses folders to play music or audiobooks.
Play directories the same way you play individual audio tracks.

Longer Story:

Folder Player is a freeware which knows how to play whole directories. It can browse and play individual files, folders, or full folder trees.

Why another music player for Android?

There are many great mp3 players out there. If you're happy with them, you probably don't need another one. But chances are, you have the same problem as I had before I created this app - you tried many players, and your mp3 tag-based access to your music still too cumbersome, because your world defined - yes - by folders.

Is Folder Player a solution?
****************************

If you need advanced capabilities of a desktop player - Folder Player is probably not the right fit.
This player focuses on things that really are important: browsing and playing music on a portable device, and that's exactly what makes this app stand out.

Ratings and reviews

I've been using this app as my music player for several years because it's simple and folder based rather than playlist (which I can't be bothered to make). Problem is about 4 months ago I lost the ability to display and begin playback of songs through it in Android auto. It worked fine prior to that, but now the only way to use it in Android auto is to start playback on my phone then open Android auto. I can then skip, pause and play using my audio controls, but not select songs on the screen.

App seems to have lots of really good audio features that other Music player apps are missing. But I can't figure how to find all my music. Top folder I can see is 'SD card' folder, but I don't have a card in my phone. It has ringtones mixed in with some songs on the supposed SD Card. But I can't get to the rest of my music, even though I clicked on every folder it showed me. Finally gave up & uninstalling app. Sorry for low rating - some more detailed instructions in app may help.

Folder Player makes it easy to understand to set up and play your folder as you wish.... 🙂 EXAMPLE: My Set-up To play my folder with no Shuffle in alphabetical order and remember where the music was if player is stopped... ALSO: this app has a "🏡" setting, So when you open the app it will go to the home Choice folder you choose and will start playing songs right where you left off. Very Sincerely ... bill 🙂
