Pros & Cons

Folder-based organization matches how users structure their library
Ad-free experience with no in-app purchases
In-folder album art support and audio-only playback for video files

Not aimed at desktop-like advanced features; may not satisfy users seeking tag-based navigation
May be less appealing to users who prefer more feature-rich or heavily customized music players

Comments on Folder Player for Android

★★★★☆ Greg & Debbie Byrnes · Feb 19, 2026

Best no fuss music player I've found. If you prefer to organize your own life (eg: all MP3 files in folders by artist) and ignore tags, this is it. UPDATE: discovered after more testing that previously reported channel dropout requires 3 conditions - setting stereo balance off center (even slightly), enabling equalizer, and interrupting playback (pausing or skipping). Weird, but centering the stereo balance avoids the issue. UPDATE: Problem solved. Not the app. Old android version bug!

★★★★★ TennisFan17 · Jun 6, 2026

Simple and awesome. I click on the folder with my audio files, and it starts playing all of them. THANK YOU.

★☆☆☆☆ Primal Convoy · Jan 16, 2024

App no longer shows MP3 files after Android 14 update. It only shows folders, which makes this app not fit for purpose. 1 star until fixed. No excuses from dev accepted.

★☆☆☆☆ Dave Cooper · Dec 12, 2025

After uninstalling Folder Player and restarting my phone and then reinstalling and restarting and then uninstalling and reinstalling, etc. etc. Folder Player finally found my mp3 files. Wonderful. Except Folder Player will not actually play my files. I give up.

★★☆☆☆ Amauri Lucinio · Nov 2, 2025

I don't know why, since a few weeks ago, the randon function is repeating only 10–12 musics from a folder where I keep almost 200 musics. That is not the behavior expected from a folder player app. The only way to listen all musics is in alphabetical order...

★★☆☆☆ Kris V · Nov 5, 2025

With moto g60 android 12: the app does not start up and the search engine settings are changed (after a reboot of android there is a notification, is for searching on the android home screen), deleting the cache and storage data and a reinstallation does not fix the problem, the app causes screen flickering when the permission setting screen is shown on startup
