Ratings and reviews

I've used this app for years. I loved it. But my old xperia phone was busted, and I can't add album meta data via the app to my current one. This was one of the best features for someone who doesn't stream music. This is weak. Really weak. I have a music collection on CD that I've saved on my hard drive to put on my SD card. I want music apps like we used to have. Is that so hard?

Many audio files (m4a) sound choppy, where same files sound completely fine with different players and on my previous phone (Samsung music player). Also support for more audio formats is limited (wma etc.). Otherwise, the player is decent and sounds good with the rest of the files, but it would be great if the above issues are addressed and if you add support to obtain album art covers.

The application is great, and has remained the same since 2015. This creates a familiar user experience. However, I have noticed that the player does not lag, but the playback cuts for a split second for no reason. This issue is only found on 1 MK7, while my XZ1 and Z5 even run with no such issue. As an improvement, I hope Sony can take some inspiration from Samsung Music Player which has a better user experience, while maintaining Sony's timeless UI.
