Features: - Folder based navigation with simple folder change and auto progress to next folder - Configurable main directory (e.g. all files below "/sdcard/music" or "/sdcard/audiobooks", individual for each player) - Playlist support: Reads m3u, m3u8, pls, and asx; writes m3u and m3u8; allows adding files outside of main directory; easy access to playlists in main folder and subdirectories - Ignores .nomedia (you set the directory, should be fine - right?) - Reads ID3 tags itself (usually less buggy than Android's media library) - Album art support: ID3 tags (jpg+png, types "other" and "front cover"), AlbumArt.jpg/png, cover.jpg/png, folder.jpg - Plays all media types supported by core Android (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, M4A, 3GP, MIDI, Wave) and some device specific (WMA, FLAC), but only on devices which support them - Easy folder/file selection by tapping cover resp. tag info - Set the track order for each folder - Flexible play, shuffle, and repeat modes (stop after track, repeat folder, shuffle files per folder, shuffle all files, ...) - Supports headset buttons and OpenWatch - Pause/continue on headset removal/plug and calls - Sleep mode (stop playback, power off not allowed by Android system) - Alarm clock - Swipe gestures - Selectable layouts (so far only default, car, and big cover) and themes - Selectable backgrounds (theme color, own images, or wallpapers - even Live Wallpapers) - Delete and send files - Supports ScrobbleDroid and Simple last.fm Scrobbler (both interfaces also supported by many other scrobblers, like the official last.fm app) - Supports equalizer, bass boost, and reverb on devices with Android 2.3 - and some more, just check the preferences...
Used permissions: Phone state: Used to pause during a call. Otherwise it would only be muted by the system. Wake lock: So the playback isn't stopped when you turn off the screen. Also for some optional features like disabling the auto screen off during playback. Disable keyguard: In case you only want to use the app's lock screen. (And not return to the default one afterwards.) Write/delete external storage: For some internal files in \.MortPlayer, e.g. cached folder covers from ID3 tags and track order lists. Internet: Ads (AdMob) Boot completed: To reschedule the alarm clock after boot. Tasks: For "StopService" activity, to avoid the system returns to player afterwards
Recent changes: 1.2.5: - fixed crash at start 1.2.4: - Fixed unnecessary reading of folder/tag data - Alarm clock works more reliable - Big notification for Android 4.2 - Context menus are back in track and folder lists - Lockscreen layouts without cover (available in settings) - Holo theme as default - Some other bugfixes and minor layout changes

It was a great app and probably the only advanced music player which could play from folder back in the early android years, but sadly it hasn't been maintained for quite a while. VLC has similar functionalities with a more intuitive UI and more supported file formats, so it's time for me to say goodbye and move on. Thank you Mr. Dev!

Love it thanks for fixing. If in a future update (no rush) when unchecking 'shuffle tracks in all folders' mode could you make it so the 'shuffle tracks + shuffle folders' options DO NOT automatically check? I find them both always checking once I uncheck the first option. Thanks again :))

The best player for me as it plays randomly between folders. Also, when set to random it definitely randomize the music files unlike other players that says random but keeps on playing the same order of music again and again. Just brilliant!
★★☆☆☆
I tried to like it, it probably does some things amazingly but I immediately hated it when it wanted to "scan my folders". I wanted it to just play what I told it to but it tries to rearrange everything, it pulls out all the subfolder names and then alphabetises THEM instead of of the structure I've had them in for years. Every time I try to find something it gets the wrong track from that folder and " skip" just plays the next folder instead of the next track. The only redeeming feature would be the graphic equaliser but there wasn't one. I had a version of Mortplayer on my first Android and loved it but now it's horrible. After just a few minutes of not being able to find any track I wanted to play, it managed to make me hate it this much. Well done!
★★☆☆☆
Installed this after reading it p!ayed m3u files. It does not. Nor flac files. Neither will it play network music files. So immediately uninstalled.
★★☆☆☆
IMPOSSIBLE to find my music that's quite obviously on my sd card. Quite ridiculous how difficult it's made considering other music player apps are able it AUTOMATICALLY find the music immediately. POOR.
