playlister

Rediscover music!

If you want to get back in touch with your music, free from clumsy and overcomplicated interfaces, application crashes, and bloated features that never work quite right, then welcome; you've come to the right place!

You won't find any in-app advertising, embedded product placement, subscription services, privacy-invading spyware, or other grabs at your hard-earned cash here.

You also won't find any album art, Cover Flow, or other eye-candy. If that's what you're looking for, you've got an abundance of options elsewhere.

So what will you find here?

Instructions
Most interactions with playlister should be fairly intuitive; tap on what you want, and it will happen. There are a few finer points to be aware of, however:

 • To reorder a custom playlist using drag/drop, tap and hold on the item you want to move.
 • To reorder a custom playlist using other options, quickly double-tap on the item you want to move.
 • To quickly stop background playback, simply dismiss the playlister notification from your lock screen/notification drawer.
 • To search and to save/load/clear a custom playlist, tap the "..." icon in the upper-right of the screen.
 • The very first time you run playlister, you'll be prompted for media permissions; please allow 10-15 seconds after granting permission for your media library to load. This only needs to be done once.
