A simple folder-based music player for Android. Does exactly what it says, nothing more and nothing less.

I created this out of frustration back in 2013, because no existing apps supported what I want from a music player (being able to play audio files from folders in the filesystem is unheard of!). Even today, Google Play Music does not support playing from a folder.

• Plays all audio files in a folder on loop, sorted by filename (natural sorting)
• Mostly navigable with just your thumb on large phones
• Supports playing directly from SD cards
• Regular file browser navigation
• Uses as little battery as possible for a music player
• Dismissable notification with playback controls
• Native lockscreen playback controls on older systems
• Runs on Android 4.1+ (Jelly Bean), so basically everywhere
• Audio is paused if headphones are unplugged
• Dark theme (Holo)
• No ads

• No album art
• No playlists
• No shuffle
• No equalizer
• No repeat options
• No sorting options
• No casting support
• No landscape mode support
• No audio library scanning
• No background services which drain battery life even while not being used

I created this app for myself. If someone else finds it useful, then that's pretty cool. However, I'm not going to implement any feature requests, unless I personally want/need that feature. Feel free to fork and customize, but don't expect PRs to get merged. This was my first Android project, so expect potentially weird code.

This is a preconfigured Android Studio (version 4.0.1) project, converted from the corpse of an old Eclipse ADK installation.
