Gotta say I really like and enjoy this music player. I've had the original Google music player before that got combined with YouTube and a couple of other music apps over the years but with the music being on my phone the app automatically knows the artists and the mechanics are really easy to learn I think the only thing that'd be really cool is having the ability to favorite an album

The designs are gorgeous and functions are pretty good. Could you Just edit searching so that ist Shows Artist name? If you Look Up a Song Name IT Shows the Name+ Album Name Not Artist name

It's Good 👍, I have one suggestion if I may to the developer(s):after closing Retro Music Player have it not show up in the status bar, because after I close the app it still shows up in the status bar, and that's annoying, other than that, this app beats stock music player's any day of the week! Retro.... haha ain't nothing retro about this app, it's futuristic!!

Still have terrible support for FLAC files. First it was random skips during them. Not it just freezes mid-song, and it isn't clear why or which FLAC it'll affect. I want to use this, but I just can't. It's been like this for over a year now.

This music app is perfectly fine, but it seems like it won't show the album art for my mp3 (album art format is 1200 x 1200 .png) so it's a little tedious to look for my songs because the album cover helps me easily figure out which one is which, overall it's perfectly fine but if you have high quality album cover resolution it's probably not going to show up. It seems that 999 x 999 .jpg works just fine, but I'm not redoing all the album art for my songs just for one MP3 player.

No sorting choices??? No sorting choices??? No sorting choices??? Border-line useless to me. The only reason I gave you 2 and not 1 stars is because you included a native tag-editor, which is good. Still almost entirely useless to me. This is a fair review, and I do not care how you feel, it is borderline useless to me.

it's a great app, 5☆ plays music just as It's supposed to, however after the update-audio randomly disappears, it shows its playing but produces no audio it also loses audio when transitioning to the next song until you open it back up even after allowing unltd battery and other exceptions. Until this bug is fixed It might be better to use a different music player. Update after 1 yr, background playing still notified, it plays but ko music is produced.

All thing is good but a problem I noticed is when lyrics is available it shows it but lyrics isn't available in the Meta tag, there should be option to search the lyrics and copy and paste in the tag. All music players offers this feature. Other than this it's good.
