Amazing start. Needs a couple more features: 1. Tie volume buttons to app (like Poweramp) 2. Better skins. 3. Ability to prevent audio ducking. When I get a notification, the volume goes way down for >1000ms even though the notification sound is only ~200ms beep. I should be able to disable this entirely.
I use the PC version as my standard music player. I use this app with the same music data as on my PC and the playback is fine. However there is one issue with existing playlists: the album view doesn't display ( and play back) the tracks according to playlist but alphabetically. There is one way to circumvent the issue: access the playlist file in the folder view and execute the playlist. Did I do something wrong? Thanks for being as free

Keeps improving with time. The interface may seem a bit arcane but it's highly functional but not exactly pretty. Now very tolerant of tag standards. Still doesn't work with external album art but art in tags works well provided the images are smaller than about 4k. Bluetooth playback mostly functional but has problems with persistent dropouts.

Accessibility with Talkback needs work. I am disappointed as a blind user. When browsing albums, there are unlabeled buttons and talkback says item image before announcing album names, which wastes time. When playing a song, all talkback says is multipage view, no way to access controls.

Kinda clunky and hard to navigate. Still don't know how to find your playlist without hitting back like 6 times. Tried to switch from vlc because this has replay gain support but still not with it

I'm a faithful user of the PC version, and I'm mostly impressed with the Android version, only problem is that I get some skipping when playing back .FLAC files. On rocket player I had the same issue but managed to fix it by increasing the playback buffer. I would have given this five stars if it had an option to adjust the playback buffer, too.

Simple but effective audio player. Supports DSPs like ReplayGain, crossfade, remove silence, and more. Needs: Better skins (icons, colors, and apply to notification bar controls, dark, dark, dark). Cleanup of the UI (like custom removal of some Browse screen sources). Show more info of files (format, bitrate, etc). Equalizer.
Disables (prevents device entering) STAMINA MODE of my Sony device. Since the latter is of top importance, to conserve battery - this app becomes useless. Big shame as it is coming from all the right perspectives, design and philosophy wise.
The best music player. When it works. Why is it that my songs started to skip whenever they're download to my device? They don't skip on any other music player and the skipping stops on restart of my phone and then starts skipping again after about an hour of playback. Fix this please.
This ultra-lean program is the best. One problem : lock screen controls seem to have disappeared. I actually resorted to using VLC but that's not as good!
Audio player that does what it should - I recently updated my phone to Android 8 and the pause button on my Sennheiser Momentum II headphones stopped working with this app. Button still works with YouTube and Spotify though. Other than that, I have no complaints about Foobar.
It's works well! It was my standard music player back when I use Windows, would like to see it on Linux tho. Otherwise, the design is pretty crappy, it's ugly. Well at least it works.
PLEASE add an *Add this folder to playlist* option for folders in Media Servers. The option only shows up in local folders! This will be PERFECT for me when you do!!
This app does not let you select where your music folder is on your device like a grownup, plus it fails to even detect my SD card. Not recommended.
Does not show now playing list... Does not have modifiable now playing list. I like Google's 'play this song next' feature. Would be good for this app too. It has an option for shuffle all albums but doesn't have an option to play all albums without shuffle.
Great app but has horrible performance issues with multiple phones I've used. Crashes when dismissed from notifications, has problems resuming playback. Too bad, love the app, when it works.
Great Opus player. Older devices with less storage can benefit from a modern codec near Flac quality less space than mp3 or aac. AIMP lost me because of Putin/Trump.
Great work, guys. Foobar2000 is my #1 music app. Only criticism is that, like the other user mentioned, album covers don't appear as they should when switching songs. It shows the previous cover, instead.
Terrible app in comparison to Phonograph & VLC. Lacks much basic functionality and importantly, lacks a lot of polish. An incomplete list of essential things it's missing is as follows: - One-track repeat - Widgets - High quality lock screen art - Decent looking notification controls
Very good app. Excellent!!! One of the most important things that it has is to play songs without ANY gaps between them! So when you play FLAC files ripped from a CD-album which has merging sounds going from one song to the next song, it plays the sound exactly as if you were listening to the original CD, with no breaks, no gaps! I am totally satisfied!!! Bravo!!!
Awesome music player. Let's you choose the folder(s) you want instead of just importing everything... especially stuff you don't want. Only thing really missing is to be able to delete a song that you don't want to hear anymore either while playing or from the Tracks list.
It's amazing to see of the best music players running on Android. So far all works well but obviously UI needs improvement. And I can't wait for more features to come as promised by developers. PS. Seek function still missing. Please, add it.
I love Foobar on the computer and I love the music player but my troubles lay with the app not having any customization. Maybe a built in album art finder? Problem is you can't use third party album art finders because it won't update in Foobar no matter what you do.
Overall not bad but I absolutely hate how you can't sort the albums by the actual album name instead of artist. It makes mix albums get split up into fragments which ruins it.
Not able to play .wma files which is a majority of my collection at home. Have to use vlc for Android in order to play them. Maybe update the codecs? Music continues to play after disconnecting from Bluetooth. Would be nice if it paused when disconnected from known devices.
I have a problem with the notification, I only see half of notification like it's cutted on half, please fix that! Also application need lot of improvements like widgets, control by gestures, small player controls on every page of application, connection with desktop version...
Excellent Great sound, clean fast and can decode many lossless codecs, don't give 5 stars because lacks cue support besides that it's an excellent app
Been using pc version for almost a decade, wonder why it's my Android player... Haven't digged in much to the mobile version yet, but for now it feels cool I guess. At least much more convenient than several apps I tried from top-rated.
Player is good - no.2 after GoneMad (for extended users you know), just a little harder to understand interface functions . and why main player background not dark gradient like in file library and settings screen ? Default skins colors are unusable. Add some gradient to all player screens . Technically do not change anything - works excellent .
I'm a deadhead who is serious about my flac files. I don't want to down load music from your "typical" music sites. I want my flac files to be easy to get on my phone. For some some reason the other flac players don't get this. Foobar does. Good job Foobar, you rock!
Needs background play and a widget. Seems like it's not hooking into Android like other music players do.
11/16/2016 : They added the playlist support, so kudos to them for listening to their community. Playlist is bare-bones and add-only. No editing or removing tracks once they're in, however. Streaming is a welcome addition, though it seems to hiccup on certain streams or not parse them properly for playback. Still a solid app, and one I'm hoping will be my permanent music player down the road. First Impression: Longtime fan of the PC version, who has been dying for a port. Not at all disappointed! The only thing this seems to need is playlist support and maybe the playback screen to be default and this will be hands down the most type-supporting, lightweight player available on Android. 5th star for listed features of course.
Amazing to have Foobar playing my FLACs on the go. Can we PLEASE have Chromecast support?! I know the quality isn't there, but saves me having lame and FLAC. Thank you!
Possibly the only player on Google Play that supports Opus with .opus extension and its gapless play. Awsome music library management as always. Hopfully the interface will look better in subsequent updates.
Not sure when this app came around, but I sure missed it on my radar! A serious music player with many audiophile options at that. Definitely worth checking out!
Works flawlessly and doesn't drain my battery! Sound Quality is excellent as well! I hope the team adds support for the EQ functionality the desktop app has.
Has the potential to be the best Android music player, as most other music players for Android are horrible. Pros: - Good, clean, minimal interface, just like the desktop version. - Fast. - Supports many audio formats. Cons: - When tracks are switched manually, the first split-second of the track plays REALLY loud which is very annoying. I don't have any of the audio effects enabled and so far haven't been able to figure out a way to prevent this. It doesn't seem to happen when tracks are switched automatically (i.e. when one track ends and another starts). - Possibly related to the above: seems to cut off the last second or so of tracks sometimes. - There is no way to queue up tracks other than creating a new playlist. Most other players allow you to add tracks to the "now playing" list so they play immediately after, without requiring you to create a new playlist. The only options given when you long-press on an album or track are "Decoding speed test" & "Create a new playlist". Again, this is a really great start and I hope they fix the above issues. If they did, I think this would be the perfect Android music player & I'd happily donate to the developer(s).
nice app. one problem: when decoding external .m3u files the app became really slow.
Lightest music playback app with widest codec support but it lacks a few basic things like playing cue files and individual plays from file manager apps. Otherwise, flawless.
Fails to play most streamed FLAC files, gives "length of object is unknown" error. (Pixel phone)
