Description
Simple Music Player plays music files that are already stored on your device. It does not stream and does not search for music online.
No ads, no tracking, no sign-up.
I built this player for myself, because most of them bury a simple task under a giant album cover and features I never use. If you just want to open the app and listen to your own files, this one is for you.
🎵 LIBRARY - Browse by tracks, folders, artists, albums or genres - Real folder browsing, the way the files actually sit on your storage - Exclude folders you do not want in the library
▶️ PLAYBACK - Play queue you can reorder and clean up - Shuffle and repeat - Equalizer, built-in or the system one - Playback speed control - Sleep timer - Lyrics on a separate screen, view and edit, time marks are supported
✏️ TAGS - Edit title, artist, album, genre, lyrics and cover art - Rename an artist, album or genre across all of its tracks at once
🗂 PLAYLISTS - Local playlists: create, rename, delete, reorder tracks
🔔 ON YOUR DEVICE - Home screen widgets - Android Auto - Dark theme and color themes
☁️ CLOUD SYNC (OPTIONAL) The player works fully offline and always will. If you want to, you can connect a cloud storage and keep the same music library on several devices.
- Uploads your local tracks to the cloud and pulls missing files back to the device - Later changes (adding, deleting, moving, editing tags) are mirrored both ways - Runs in the background, no need to keep the app open - Several cloud accounts can be connected at once, each keeps a full copy - Useful as a backup if a device is lost or broken, and for filling the library from a PC
Sync through Dropbox is free.
🔒 WHAT THIS APP DOES NOT DO - No ads - No analytics, no tracking, no data collection - No account needed to play your own music - Network access is used only by cloud sync, nothing else
📖 SOURCE CODE The player source code, known issues and development plans are public on GitHub. The cloud sync modules are not published. https://github.com/Anrimian/music-player

A simple music player. No ads, you can change the files name, make playlists. Literally just what I needed. Like this is the most basic thing ever, a player for the music files in your device, and yet I have not find one that can beat this.

The app itself is good for its purpose. I'm writing because I had an audio recording with my friends and I, over an hour long. I deleted it from the library, and now it's lost. My trash bins say nothing, I can't find it anywhere. I don't know how or if I can even retrieve it again.
