Description
Tired of music players that take forever to start up because they're loading ads or trying to download stuff? Of music players that ignore Bluetooth controls, or stop responding after a few minutes? I was too, so I wrote this app!
The Pretty Good Music Player is an open source (GPL) folder-based music player with no frills. It's small, it's responsive, and it plays music.
Feature Details: - Audiobook mode for resuming playback where you left off - Notification controls - The color theme and text size are now configurable! - This player protects against accidental pausing when your phone is jostled and the headphone cord shifts. I added this because it was annoying when my phone was in my pocket and would auto-pause because the headphone cable was bumped. - Plays .mp3, .m4p, .m4a, .aac, and many more types of audio files. - Accepts play, pause, previous, and next commands from Bluetooth headsets. - When you select 'All songs' for a given artist, the songs are ordered by album, not alphabetically. - Automatically pauses and resumes when another app (e.g. GPS) needs audio. - If another app needs audio for more than 30 seconds (e.g. a phone call), it does not automatically resume. - "Repeat All" is always on. - If you click "back" too quickly, it double checks that you want to leave before quitting.
Expected Folder Layout: It's designed to work with artist folders copied from iTunes. That means it expects directory structure:
music/ artist/ /album1 /01 - First Song.mp3 /02 - Second Song.mp3 /03 - Third Song.mp3 /04 - Fourth Song.mp3 /album2 /01 - Another Song.mp3 ....
Misc: I've noticed that if I pause a song for an extended period of time, I need to press and hold the 'pause' button on my Bluetooth headset to get it to resume playing.

K.I.S.S rule in a music app format! Love the simplicity of the app. Can you put an option to change tracks by swiping the screen left of right. Thanks! (K.I.S.S rule- keep it simple stupid)

Muy rápido muy bueno Es mi reproductor favorito de audio en android, es rápido y sus gráficos son estilo material design, lo único que lo pudiera hacer mas perfecto es que lea los mp3s de google músic o spotify lists o podcadts

I like the directory option, but the ui is brutal should be a button that says ”set this directory ” ... still not sure if I did what I wanted ... totally guessing ... and don't make me find a song to play, to start ... let me start playing from the list, and if I do, auto-shuffle ... and apparently it's still not that simple as it's now replaying the same song over and over, on shuffle ... uninstalling
