Comments on Samba Network Music Player for Android
★★★★★Jack Grubbs· Jan 6, 2025
Needed this for my Android phone. Found it after trying different media server setups and trying other android media players. No streaming service needed on windows where my music resides. Also, no need to add windows features like smb1 or the legacy Windows Media Player! It's quick to find files on my private network and quickly scans full directories to create playlists. Haven't encountered a single issue, and it works just like it should!
★★★★★Phil Saunders· Jul 23, 2023
It just works!!! Easy to use, find music add play it! How many apps do what you want straight off? This one does!
★★★★☆Charles Muckle· Apr 12, 2025
I like the features. But it is clearly a geek tool. But some use ability upgrades and Samba player will be awesome. 👍
★★★★☆David Girling· Jan 17, 2025
Fantastic for connecting to my NAS for music, and mobile SD card with selected downloads. Would be improved by air play or Bluetooth speaker options, only because phone speakers are so crass. Keep up the good work 👍
★☆☆☆☆Drew Riley· May 28, 2026
No sound. It did find my network share but when I select any mp3, no sound . Phone speaker or Bluetooth. Unbelievably poor QA here. Vibe coded?
★★☆☆☆Jet· Nov 26, 2025
Overall a nice player once you figure it out. But but but the very annoying pause or complete lockup of the player most times when you change a song or sometimes when you move the slider. Makes this player unusable at times. Just can't figure it out for me, it's broken
★★☆☆☆David Farley· Jun 24, 2026
I thought this might be perfect for my needs but sadly not. Once I open an album or track I cannot find a way to go back through my folders so in order to choose a different album or track to play from my NAS I have to select bookmark to acces the main server conection and navigate back down the folder list.
