I have gone through a bunch of players on Play store, but I haven't managed to find what I'm looking for. It's really very simple: I want a music player (I refuse to watch video on anything smaller than the 55" in my cabin or the 2,5 meter wide screen in my home theater, and I don't commute, so I have no need to kill time (which I don't have enough of anyway, working in a home office)) that doesn't read anything but file names, and that operates with folders. I don't need any grouping, I have my music/podcasts/audio books sorted in neat folders. But the problem is that I need to be able to tick boxes for choosing several files to play. That way I can line up 4-5 podcasts or whatever fits my schedule at the moment and won't have to take the phone up of my pocket before they are done. I have found several that works on folders (like Folder Play), but none of them allows me to tick boxes or easily multi select in any other way. I have been using my Windows Mobile 6.5 HTC HD2 until today and if there was something that worked like Pocket Player I'd be good. The problem is that even Pocket Player for Android doesn't work like Pocket Player... So please, give me suggestions for a good and easy app!

Try Music Folder Player, it lets you select the folder you wish to play. Here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.zorillasoft.musicfolderplayer&feature=search_result
What about Rockbox? You are the same as me, music are sorted in neat, organized folders. You can just browse through folder method and long pressing a few to add in queue.
Or, you can try XenoAmp, which is pretty the same, except that one press adds the selected music into the queue right away. It is available in the section you posted here (not in Play Store).

Thanks! I'll have a look at all the suggestions.
How about PlayerPro , which u can try its "Folder Browser" feature.

I'd like to introduce everyone to a unique music player app that I've developed called "Music Player (Remix)". I started developing it 4 years ago as a homebrew app on the old webOS platform. It quickly became the most downloaded homebrew webOS app. I eventually released it into the official webOS app catalog and it became the #4 top-rated app (#1 in the Music category).
As a user, I moved to Android over 2 year ago and of all the apps I missed on webOS, the biggest one was my own being someone who loves listening to music all the time (at work, in the car, at home, doing the lawn, etc). I tried out all the other music apps, and they all had their positive points, but none of them had the unique features I put into Music Player (Remix). So eventually I decided to build my own app porting over a lot of the features in the webOS version that users on that platform loved, but added a lot of new features and changed the overall user interface. Now everything is just a swipe away, even when you're not in the app! (read below for details).
When developing the app, I really wanted to think outside-of-the-box when coming up with the best way to do things in a music app. As a result, Music Player (Remix) has a lot of features and design concepts that you won't find in any other music app, but when you experience them you'll wonder how you ever lived without them.
Here's a list of some of the biggest features:
- Large, finger-friendly controls on phones and tablets. Tap the top of the album art to pause/play. Tap the bottom-right to go to the next track. Tap the bottom-left to go to the previous track.
- While using other apps, swipe from the bottom of the screen to reveal the "mini-player" allowing you to control your music & access your now playing list, playlists, and faves without leaving other apps.
- Notification when new songs are added to your device (can be disabled).
- Intuitive swipe navigation and gestures:
* Swipe from bottom for the Now Playing list and music controls.
* Swipe from right for your music library, search, help, preferences, and aesthetic customizations.
* Swipe from left for faves, playlists, and autolists.
* Swipe right on a song in the Now Playing list to remove it. Swipe left to queue it to play next. (customizable)
* Swipe right on a song in a playlist to remove it. Swipe left to move it to the top of the list. (customizable)
- Auto-generated playlists (called "Autolists") available based upon your listening habits.
- 5 customizable quick shortcuts at the top of the Now Playing screen. Assign various functions to each one included Add to Playlist, Save bookmark, Lyrics, Share song, View YouTube video, and much more.
- All screens are optimized for portrait & landscape orientations.
- The Now Playing screen has been optimized for 7" & 8.9"/10" tablets. (Eventually will be modifying all the app's screens)
- All library browsing screens have several display & sorting options.
- Save bookmarks in a song & visual markers will appear on the scrubber bar. Tap prev/next to jump between bookmarks or use the "View Bookmarks" option to select a bookmark.
- Any time you play a song, a bookmark is automatically saved when you leave the song. To go back to the previous play position in a song, use the "View Bookmarks" option.
- Download album art for any song or album. Select from several choices with different image resolutions. Album art is embedded directly in the music files.
- Download lyrics and embed directly in the music file (or optionally save in an external text file). Pinch/zoom the lyrics to change the font size. Karaoke feature for recording yourself singing along.
- Advanced playlist management including drag/drop song re-ordering & multi-add mode. While in multi-add mode, go to any screen within the app and tap songs/albums/artists/genres/composers to quickly add them to the playlist.
- In-app wikipedia browser available for albums, artists, genres, and composers.
- Jellybean expandable notifications with super-sized album art and music controls.
- 5 band equalizer with built-in presets, bass boost, and virtualizer.
- Last.fm scrobbling with caching during internet outages (no external app required to be installed for scrobbling).
- Stylish 4x1 & 4x2 home screen widgets with customizable color & opacity.
- Various lock screen control options including basic controls (ICS+), advanced mini-player controls (ICS+), or the 4x2 widget (Android 4.2+).
- Fine-tuned controls for quickly skipping backward & forward by 5/30/60 seconds. Long-tap the pause/play tap area to reveal (or hide) the controls.
- And much, much more!!!
There is a free, fully-functional 14-day trial available in the Google Play Store. The full version (priced at $4.99) is also available in the Google Play Store and Amazon App Store. Please check it out and let me know what you think.

He says it's in the google play store.
The forum rules at the top of this forum section indicate your can't post links to your app if it's commercial. So I didn't post the link. The trial version is free, so am I allowed to post a link to that?
But anyway, you can find it in the Google Play Store or Amazon App Store by searching for "Music Player (Remix)".

Thanks! I wasn't sure how to interpret the rules, so I erred on the safe side. Right now I can't post links anyway due to my limited post count, but once my account gets upgraded/updated, I'll post the link to the trial version.
But in the meantime, please search for "Music Player (Remix)" in the Play Store and you should find the trial version. Try it out and let me know your impressions in this thread.

Version 1.4.3 has been released to the Google Play Store and Amazon App Store. It has a new autolist called "Breath of Fresh Air" that allows you to play a random mix of songs you haven't played recently. It also contains a bunch of bug fixes.
The 14-day free, fully-functional trial version is being reset for all users!
Here's the complete changelog:
- (New Feature) Add 'Breath of Fresh Air' autolist (random mix of songs not recently played).
- (Bug Fix) NuPlay new song notifications sometimes did not appear immediately on certain devices.
- (Bug Fix) If the 'Auto play when loading app' setting was selected (on the 'Miscellaneous' Preferences screen) and you switched orientations while the music was paused, the music would resume playing.
- (Bug Fix) The basic lockscreen controls would sometimes still appear even after disabling them or even killing the app.
- (Bug Fix) If you switched to a bookmark from the widget or notification controls and then brought up the mini-player, the song/album/artist info would be blank.
- (Bug Fix) Fixes for various causes of app crashes.
- (Bug Fix) Users in a restricted profile under Android 4.3+ may not have access to all apps (such as a web browser), so before launching an external app (for instance to view a web page), verify the user has access to that external resource. If not, display an error.

Thanks, let me know what you think.
Immediate reaction... Its really good :thumbup: the options given are so much I need some days to fully check it out properly
Just one suggestion for now... I missed the play/pause and next/ previous song buttons. Then I found out it was hidden in the album art. A small downfall there.. And when I first opened the app... The music directly started blasting ( a heavy metal one ) and I freaked out. ( was alone in a dark room... Imagine my horror!! )

Yeah I plan on adding a welcome screen to introduce users to the user interface. But I figure most people like you figure out where the controls are.
Yeah the first time you load the app, it starts a "Shuffle All" list. It won't auto-play on subsequent loads, unless you turn the option on via the Preferences screen (tap the gear icon at the top of the right-side sliding panel).
I'd still prefer a seperate play/pause and prev/next buttons.

You have them, but they're incorporated on the album art for 2 reasons:
1) The controls are much larger (finger-friendly). It's so easy to use without even looking at the screen. Really nice in the car (when docked).
2) Removing the separate controls allows room for the customizable preset controls for one-touch access to your favorite functions (bookmarks, lyrics, album art downloading, youtube videos, album & artist search, etc.)
When designing this user interface I wanted to think outside of the box. Give it a try and I think you'll really like it once you use it awhile.
I guess it was in the opening post
Didn't read it well will see it through and nice thought :thumbup: :beer:
thnxx
Have a bit of dilemma...
Hi, I'm using your app as of now (while typing this post) and it's pretty great, but..
But when I press the Next button on Album Art, sometimes the music forwards due to pressing the music time-line (or what you might call it) accidentally. Also true and vice-versa with the Previous button.
Any fix and/or suggestion pal?

Are you talking about the fine-tuned controls (5sec, 30sec, 60sec backward/forward)? If so, just long-tap the pause/play section of the album art to toggle those controls.
If you're talking about the scrubber bar, it shouldn't be anywhere near the album art...at least not close enough to affect the controls. If it is on your device, please post a screenshot (or send me one to hedami DOT support AT gmail DOT com).

Hey there!
I posted about my new (paid/trialware) music player way back in August and asked for beta testers here on XDA. The response was tremendous and I was able to rake up a few hundred testers within a couple of days. Thanks to their bug reports and feedback, I'm happy to say that Jams Music Player is now available on the Play Store!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jams.music.player
Here's a quick imgur album that shows a few prominent screens from the app:
http://imgur.com/a/Bgk0b#0
Aaaand here's the main feature list:
Supports all the formats supported by Android (mp3, FLAC, AAC, ogg, etc.)
Unofficial GMusic support (thanks Simon Weber!). All Access isn't available, I'm pretty sure the big record companies won't take it too well if I put it in. If you have your personal music collection uploaded onto Google though, this app can handle it
Limit your music library down to specific folders on your SD card (you can pick as many folders as you want).
Organize your entire music collection into smaller sub-libraries. (Take a look at the imgur screenshot(s) to get a gist of what I mean).
Individual equalizer settings for each song. Say you set Song A to Pop and Song B to Rock. When you play Song A, Jams will automatically switch the equalizer to Pop. If you play Song B, Jams will switch to Rock. You can also batch apply equalizer settings to multiple songs by artist, album and genre.
The homscreen widget displays your current queue so you can easily browse through it without opening the app.
A-B Repeat mode. You can repeat a specific range of a song from point A to point B.
Displays embedded lyrics. I don't think I'll be adding lyrics from the Internet after what Sony did last summer to another music player.
Sort by album artist! This is for those of you who have large compilation albums.
Full blown file manager with copy, paste, move and delete functions.
Blacklist tracks, artists, and albums. This allows you to exclude individual tracks from your library without actually deleting the files.
Smart playlists (Top 25 Played Tracks, Top Rated, Recently Added, and Recently Played).
ID3 tag editor.
Crossfade.
Gapless playback.
Automatically fetches album art from the internet.
Customize the app with 4 different application themes and 9 different player colors.
Enqueue support with reorder, swipe to remove from queue, the basic stuff.
Scrobbling support.
Coming soon:
Tablet layout (ETA about a week).
Import/Export M3U playlists.
Any other feature requests you guys may have.
The app comes with a 7 day full-featured trial. After that, you'll be asked to upgrade to the full version for $2.99. I'm aiming to keep it priced that way so that it's cheaper than PowerAMP and other top players, while offering the same (or even more) number of features.
Got questions? Suggestions? Comments? Let me know below! Or you can email me at [email protected].
Looks good. I own PowerAmp but rarely use it, and I have stuff on Google Music, but despise the app. It's too busy. I'll give this a shot.
Cool, let me know how it goes! I'm open to suggestions, so feel free to throw whatever you've got, at me.
Holly crap, this is amazing!
Sadly it crashed as soon as i tried to connect my Google Music account, and also swipe gestures don't seem to work on Now Playing screen :\
Other than that, my favourite music app, will be glad to buy!
Using Moto G 8GB with Android 4.3. Using Xthemer via Xposed Modules and Meenova for external SD card reading (not sure if these facts can influence app behaviour)

Could you send me a crash report? That'll help me fix the issue and I'll have an update rolled out by tonight. Glad you like it! Also, make sure that the queue/playlist you picked has more than one song. If it doesn't, then the swiping controls won't work.

Just cleaned App data and started over. And it works just fine
About the swiping controls, yeah, i was listening to one unique song, so it was not supposed to work
Just noticed that the notification on the notification drawer is cutted when it's size is only 1 row (when it's not the top notification). Luckily it always manages to be the top notification, so i suppose this was intended
Suggestion: add button to show a list with the next tracks in the queue (maybe replace the equalized button since it's not used that often?) List would appear as the menu on the main screen (in the left side) and maybe you could change track positions in the queue!

Ooohh shoot, I forgot to add a helper overlay about the queue part... Just rotate your device to landscape mode. This will take you to your current queue. Will add a helper overlay for this in tonight's update.
This app has virtually i would want in a Music Player.
I'll keep on testing it through the 7day trial, but i'm probably going to buy it anyway.
I just hope this gets the deserved attention.

Hi there! Which version of the app are you using? The current one is v1.4.2, but I'm on track to releasing v2.0 tonight with support for tablets and batch playlist creation. When the app crashes, you should get a message saying something like "Unfortunately, Jams has stopped working". There should be two buttons, "Report" and "Close". Tap on "Report" and that will send me the crash log. Thanks for your interest!
Version 1.4.2
Just sent the report!
Either way, buying the app today 4 sure!

That's definitely a bug. I think you sent me a crash report right? I looked into the issue and fixed it already.

Yea it was me will update asap :good::good::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
This app looks promising but there are some issues that prevent me from using it as my primary media player.
It does not recognize the tags on any of the MP3 files in my library, my AAC and FLAC files are recognized properly, but not my MP3s.
Scrolling is slow and jittery because it appears to be reloading the album art each time you scroll by each album or artist. Caching should fix this.
There is no ReplayGain support. Not a bug per-say, but I can't go without it.
Also, it would nice if there was a third album art display mode where it displayed the album art as large as possible without any cropping but that is hardly necessary.
Do as you wish with these suggestions. There is some very good work so far and I am glad there is proper album artist support. I'm interested to see how this app progresses.
Seconding the laggy scrolling but in sure you're already aware of it. Caching like like the best fix. Possibly a low memory view with no album/artist art also? It's up to you. So far that's my only initial big report.
Looks awesome mate!

Even as an 5+ years' MX Player Pro user, I still struggle with the limited options available for the end of video behaviour, which are:
(a) return to the media list, or
(b) run into the next unrelated video(*).
They go well along with media junky habits. However, both options feel awkward if you want a smooth, immersive, zero distraction experience, watching nothing but this one deeply moving masterpeace, today.
There definitely should be an option that
(c) simply halts playback at the end, showing a still image of the last frame
- just as you see a still image of the first frame at the beginning, i. e. before starting playback.
I'm stunned that apparently, this natural preference is neither considered nor discussed (publicly). I would greatly appreciate if it was implented!
Thank you!
(*) with or without having to anwer a popup question
(note: I've made a similar post to the FAQ thread, it didn't get blessed with an answer.)
It's a trip no one has responded to this. I have exactly this same wish. Every other video player I've used has an option to simply stop the video at the end or repeat it. MX Play has neither option. Don't
know why.

Thanks for your valuable comments. We would like to let you know that MX Player already has the option to loop the current file. Request you to enable the loop one function from the quick shortcuts on the screen or from the play menu.
With regards to stopping it on the last frame, we regret to inform you that it is not prioritised as we found it useless in most of the common use cases and will unnecessarily keep the decoder component active. However, you can enable the "back to list option" to close the player and return to file list on completion of the playback.
Trying to get used to this app and just can't do it. As far as I can tell this app wants you to do everything within the app like start a movie for example. It doesn't work as well when starting a video from outside the app. For example clicking on a movie from say the Gallery app. After playing a video, I want it to return to the app I came from but mxplayer wants to return to it's own videos list. I have tried to get a refund but the option is no longer there in the Google Play Store. I have uninstalled this app. Can I get a refund?
Edit: Never mind, got a refund. I'm good.
I've had this issue for a very long time. I have tried different versions of MX player, I have tried the PRO version too and it always has the same problem. It also has this problem for me on multiple devices.
My subtitles do not appear on the screen when they are enabled. The only way to get them to appear is to bring up the on screen menu (menu with pause, play, skip)
If that on screen menu is up, the subtitles are up. Once that menu disappears after the couple seconds, the subtitles disappear too.
If I need to see a subtitle I have to bring up the menu, and constantly scroll through the menu so it doesn't disappear on me and I can read it. Very annoying!
Also, the on screen menu appears cut off as you can see in the picture. When you press forward or back and it skips the video, that message on the screen also gets cut off at the bottom.
I did the bug report but it wouldn't let me upload log.txt.gz the rest of the files are attached.
Anyone know how to fix this?

MX player 1.31.3 (latest in playstore)
I have the same problem. It has something to do with video size, as the problem disappears when you set aspect ratio to manual and reduce vertical or horizontal by just 1 point.
I hope it gets fixed soon...
I have the same problem, I also bought an Mx player pro.
There is no need to send a screen shot, ThaDraGun showed and explained everything.
The problem is when the video format is smaller and I play fit to screen or stretch.
example:
- The original video format is 720p and I play it in 100% size - everything is ok, the subtitle is visible, the OSD time is correct.
- The original video format is 720p and I play it stretch or fit to screen to size 1080p - no subtitle, osd time in the half.
On VLC player I don't have these problems but I think MX player has a better user menu and setings, and I gave money for it!

Check this and then try
Of course I tried things like this, restarting apps and devices...
I wasted so much time trying to solve the problem. If the developers and creators of the Mx player had spent half that time ... they solved the problem.
To more help them diagnose the problem, here is another observation:
When the video zoom is reduced by only 1% or more, the subtitle appears.
The problem is not with the device, since everything works on the VLC player.
Why I try so hard to solve the problem with the MX player ?... maybe because I paid for it ... what a fool I am.
There is one ugly solution, which only tells us that the fix is very easy for the developer.
Try this:
Use the latest mx player beta (not the pro).
In mx player go to display settings/screen and check elapsed time and place at the bottom bellow it. Select black for text color.
With that setting, something will trigger UI and subtitles to be always on, so the problem disappears.
The downside is that you can see the portion of faint black numbers if the movie is without black bars, with black bars you won't see anything. In movies you had problem with, you won't see anything, but in movies that worked, you'll see numbers if it is without black bars.
Even that triggers my brain a lot and I hate it , so please fix this.
Thanks mate,
This also works on the pro version.
But like you said, this is a very ugly "solution" , it's not solution.
Congratulations on this idea, I hope you didn't waste many hours of your time like me .
MX player is a program for advanced users, it has many advanced options and settings.
Buy a Ferrari and then they tell you that you can't drive faster than 100 km/h ... then why a Ferrari?
Yes, the creators of the MX player, I compared your program with Ferrari, but only if it can go 300 km/h.
Try to fix all the bugs, you have a lot of them, but about them on another occasion.

Wow man...it worked! I swear I tried this before, but it didn't help, now it does.
It is just a little bit ugly solution too, we shouldn't be forced to use that, but I'll take it.
It works in latest mx player beta only, not in pro version, they must differ somehow, at least for me.

Like I said, this doesn't work.
I tried this on the latest version of the pro and regular versions (beta is not available for my smart tvbox).
Which device you have is very important?
I using the Samsung S series many years, and the last one is S20 ... I no problems with smart phone.
But on EON Smart box (SDMC SDOTT0202) Android 9 (one of the best) this does not work.
You can see that ThaDraGun has opened a discussion and owns a TiVo 4k stick Android TV v9, it is the same as any smart tv box or android tv.
For me and probably ThaDraGun the problem still exists!
