Huzzah for cruft-free software that does one thing well. I was recently surprised to see the original tinyplayer disappear recently and casting about for a replacement; fortunately, this is even better.

Best player I encountered. It's perfect for my needs! I simply cannot find the option anymore to raise volume above some saftey threshhold. Has this been removed?

Hrvoje Kokotović

The best! Would be nice if you could long press folders, then select few of them so you could play more folders at once.

Dmitri Barkan

Love this player. Allows to customize nearly all aspects of interacting (Auto-lock, change volume for GPS app etc)

Toby Lockyer

This is the only player which could get to my SD card where my music is stored. You will be surprised how many media players just can't do this. One improvement would be to be able to search based on artist and play all. For example I have seven albums of a certain artist but I can only play one album.

Now, to install on phone number four... I've been using Folder Player since pretty much it's beginning, the PRO version for two years and continuously the free version, when I quickly install and pay no attention to the word PRO. But both versions are equally good, so for me, this is a must... I look forward to writing a new review in 2019, with my next phone. 😎

Kept this app after changing 3 cellphones. Nothing comes even close. All the other apps want me to store my music in other ways but folders work for me and this app works for me, too. One of the few apps that never have stability issues and I have hundreds of songs in dozens of folders.

Sein Kon March 19, 2017

Excellent app. If only there were a playing screen showing the track's album art, so I can know which folder is being played, especially when there're a lot of subfolders.

Buggy, buggy, buggy

NM V February 20, 2017

Only player I use. Try others once in a while but nothing else compares with ease of use. Good support, I put a question on the web site and waa answered almost immediately.

February 16, 2017

Have been using this app for years. First app I load when I change phones. Simple. Does what it does and nothing more. I gave nefertiti been able to find another that just plays and works.

L. Tinuviel November 16, 2016

Pro version no better than free: stopped advancing thru list of songs Great app, great idea, too. Decided to support the developer and get the paid Pro version. But not sure if it's any better than the free version. Crashes, stops unexpectedly. Still doesn't play .wma files

Elvis Jahjah November 1, 2016

Delete Playing This app is close to perfection. However I am still unable to delete playing track. I want to physically delete!

Peter Shashkin November 1, 2016

Should be able to delete when you specify external sd card in permissions

David Gordon December 4, 2016

This is the player I have been looking for. You can play the music organized in your organized folders. Absolutely AWESOME!

Erik Novak January 3, 2017

Excellent! Love it. Erik with marshmellow 6.0

michael barr September 26, 2016

Fixed - Sd card not recognized Thankyou for the reply and fix. 5 star app all day long. Prev comment - I like the player, so i went for pro but now its not picking up the sd card. Help

Peter Shashkin September 13, 2016

Android 6 moves location of SD card, unfortunately. Search in /mnt directory. place called "/storage". Will be easier to find in next release

Martin Diamond September 25, 2016

Nexus 6p Still maintain this is the best music/folder player there is. Simple user interface but as capable as any desktop based music player.

Mikey John October 12, 2016

Mj Easy to use an i love it 🖒🖒🖒🖒

Andrew Henderson September 25, 2016

It just does what it's supposed to Stable bomb-proof reliable... what else is there to say. Seems to have all the little toys we like... one thing it could do with is a level stabiliaer so all times play at the same regardless of their recorded differences. Not enough of a problem to steal a star

Moshe Cohen March 11, 2017

Playback stops after several songs without any apparent reason or explanation. Maybe it's the BT speaker's fault, but i would expect a report explaining the source of the problem so i can fix it...

nema te September 13, 2016

my first and most important android prog its only because donation. u do not need to change anything. u can call it folder player pro donator. once again thank you a lot for this aplication.

Peter Shashkin September 9, 2016

... but would it have different features than Pro?

Felix Lim March 16, 2017

The free version is more than good enough. Bought pro version just to support developer

Andreas Mohnke September 3, 2016

Equaliser not wotking I went pro as i like this app. I would have gave more than 3 stars but for some reason when I click on equaliser it tells me it's not available as it's locked by the other app. Why is this? When I pay for something I expect everything to work. Hence why I gave only 3 stars

Peter Shashkin September 9, 2016

This should be fixed by now

September 2, 2016

The best folder player, indeed

Paul Favell August 31, 2016

Best Music Player Awesome player. However, seems to crash frequently on Cyanogen 13.1.2, especially when initially picking a track.

Germán Fernández August 19, 2016

Love this app! I've been using it for a number of years and I just love it. Moved to PRO to support the team.

Jabari Roberts May 23, 2016

Worth every penny Went through 10 music players trying to find one that simply plays subfolders, so I can do multiple albums without the fuss of creating (and updating) M3U playlists. This fit the bill, with a no-fuss interface that doesn't come with bloat features I'll hardly ever use. When you have the right tool for the job, it's worth every penny of the price 😊

John Siu May 15, 2016

I vote with my wallet I like its simple but very functional design. I used the free version for a long time and decided to pay for this pro version as support.

Vadim S March 22, 2016

Эквалайзер не работает

Dave Raymond February 28, 2016

Great Player and Great Support! I love this player! It rapidly became my favorite! It's simple, clean, looks good and does what it does extremely well! It has all of the basic features, plus some extras, like pausing when you unplug the headphones, you can set your Home folder if you want, Repeat Song/Folder/Shuffle, etc. And it even works with some of the lyrics apps, such as Lyricsboard (I tested it myself). And the support is Premium level! The developer responds quickly and is very responsive to user input!

William Baker March 28, 2016

It was great until.. Got an s7 edge now folder player will not play any flac files. The stock app will. Folder player site no help. Says that happens but they must keep the app light. Now they are light of me. Of course they already have my few dollars.

Michael V. February 23, 2016

For everyone sorting mp3s by folder and not using tags this is the best app.

Ibn Batuta December 23, 2015

OMG - why are there only so few of these?? Android devs get a grip on real life. Folders were invented over 2 decades ago! The dev of this app is right: My digital life is organized in FOLDERS, not a damn media library with no hierarchy to speak of!

Fred Talmadge December 28, 2015

Google's Play Music and other such players aren't easy to play your own music the way you want. I like the simple interface and the sleep timer. Developer responded quickly to a feature request, that it already is built in. How could I not get the Pro version?

Alexander B October 30, 2015

Its absolutely perfect and I upgraded to Pro version in order to do crossfade Great equalizer and all the customizations I was looking for. I love being able to browse by folder structure, no un-necessary animations and bullcrap like the others. This one just gets to the point and very fast and reliable

Patrick Buswell September 26, 2015

Excellent support When you think the app couldnt get any better, a new awesome change appear once in a while. I just love it! If you have a problem with the player (unlikely), support is nothing short of exceptional. A must have app for all music listeners!

Sally Giffney September 10, 2015

What happened? This used to be a really good music player, but now I can't even get in and out of my favorites list. And it crashes whenever I try!

Peter Shashkin September 12, 2015

What happens if you reinstall? Wondering if you can help me reproduce the issue

Andy Ng August 12, 2015

If has Tag Editor If this has the mp3 Tag Editor, it will be 5 stars.

Roger K Mukai April 3, 2015

Outstanding MP3 player. This product is top shelf. I enjoy the advanced capabilities. With folders my way, it allows me to easily create my own radio playlist. Cross fade is wonderful. Fine control over every aspect of how it plays for you. Even if, how loud, and how often, if ever, to bother you while you rock out. I am very pleased and quite impressed.

Sergio Gaustein April 30, 2015

Great app Have been using the free version for a couple of years, and I never had a problem so decided to buy the Pro version. I just realized it also has tags which work like playlists.
