Comments on Foldplay: Folder Music Player for Android
★★★★★Andrew Hege· Jun 18, 2025
At last in a world gone mad somebody who knows what it actually means to play files organized by FOLDERS/FILES. Many players out there claiming that ability don't get this right, still representing file (mp3) tags in folder mode. Thank youuuuuu!
★★★★★David Chiang· Apr 29, 2025
Great way to play the music I want. Simple effective interface where the buttons do what you expect them to!
★★★★★Vivi· Jan 29, 2026
Best! Fold play ensures my phone broadcasts exactly the kind of music I'm looking for with no crazy surprises. Love this little thing!

I like this folder player. I can listen to music files so I can know what each song is when I go organize my files on my files' app.

There is no way to delete the entire recently played list ore song by song deletion. The only way to delete the recently played list is to delete the data of yhe app. 😩
★★☆☆☆Ali K· Dec 30, 2024
Excellent music player but it won't play through folders, it stops after the last track in a folder. No option that I can see to automatically play the next folder. Infuriating when driving as I have to pull over to manually select the next folder
★★☆☆☆Marylin Bones· Apr 5, 2025
I thought this had potential, but I personally really need an option that just shows me all available audio files. The way they want you to look through your files for songs is completely useless for me.
★☆☆☆☆Chris Stronks· Jun 1, 2026
While it's a minimalistic app supporting the playing of folders, I changed my 5* I to a 1* after finding out that Fold play caused unstable Bluetooth connectivity that was ruining my music experience for months. Avoid this app, at least if you're using high-end noise-cancelling headphones; I use Bose and Bowers&Wilkins and both are great brands, but didn't work properly under Fold play. Other music players work fine.
