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.

Back in the early–mid 2000s, I decided to repurpose a spare Wi-Fi router (the kind with a USB port meant for printers or hard drives) into a wireless audio player. Using C, I wrote a network-controlled streaming music player that supported gapless playback. The router had maybe 16 MB of RAM, 8–16 MB of flash, and a few hundred MHz CPU — yet it handled it just fine. Fast forward to 2025, Sony’s Xperia 1V phone and music player still can’t play albums without inserting gaps between tracks :(
