Android music App

Fatboy123 · 1 Dec 2021 at 17:49

Am looking for an app for my Android phone an S20+ that will play .mp3's that are on a microsd card in the phone.

It appears that Google doesn't offer such basic functionality. Am concerned with other apps and the data they maybe collecting.

Any advice?

I have for a long time now used PowerAmp. There are no real permissions that stand out to me and if you buy the full version it's quite well packed with features.

+1
Also if you make a lot of playlists get playlist manager. yes you have to pay for it but worth it

I use the paid for version of Rocket Player, I tried many, including Poweramp, but found that Rocket Player is the best for me. There is a free version available.

Long time Poweramp user here too. There's a lot of options if you feel like tweaking the audio quality further. There's also Chromecast support which works very well even with FLAC files.

I like the functionality offered by the AIMP application. These guys thought over the functionality in great detail, they also paid attention to the issue firmware development. The application reads any format from the phone's memory or from an SD card.

I've also used Poweramp since it was a baby

GMMP (Gone Mad Media Player). Customisable like no other. You can set all the double tap, swipe up/down/left/right gestures, info tags and all that to how you want. It's fantastic.

There's a newer version with a new codebase, but I got used to the old one and still use that. I seem to remember the new one had a few things missing - it may well have caught up by now. The good thing is they have both versions available on the Play store.

THIS, I think it was the first app I actually spent money on!
