MAFA – MPD client for Android™

★★★★★ I tried this app when it first arrived at Play and felt it wasn't quite ready, and also I wasn't quite ready as I needed a newer version of mpd on my Debian Stretch server to take advantage of it, so I got a refund but made a mental note to have another look. I had been using MP Droid and latterly had switched almost all my listening to UPnP server and renderers. Now running Debian Buster so re-enabled mpd and tried MAFA again. I love that cover art is now supported natively, and that the client fully supports mpd's http streaming, including ability to pass the original stream to a 3rd party player. I've tried MAFA on Nougat, Oreo and Pie. My preferred player is Neutron Music Player (because I have a mix of 16-bit 44100 and "Hi Res" and some devices on which Neutron can give me bit perfect playback) and it all works *perfectly* on Pie on my Xperia XZ1 and on Nougat on my LG V20. My Oreo Tablet doesn't have a good audio system, but everything seems to work as well as can be expected while constrained by the default Android mixer. I'm very pleased I tried the app again. It is the first Android mpd client which betters MP Droid and is well worth the price.

★★☆☆☆ Won't connect to Mopidy 3.02 in my home, other clients do.

★★☆☆☆ App is beautiful but doesn't work properly. When other players work excellent this client throws the error something like can't parse find command output.

★★☆☆☆ Was Hacked by this App, and it was used by India hackers in conjunction with an Amazon scam and Google account manager to control my phone. I don't know if it was the developer or the hackers used loopholes in the app, but it WAS used.BEWare!

★★☆☆☆ Streaming from http stream does not work on samsung a20. Audio never plays. No way to choose the audio player even though help file screenshot shows it should be available.
