*Note: Currently, only Android version is supported. Java (J2ME) Phone version has been discontinued (As of Dec 2010). If you need older version, please proceed to java phone version section.

What is Folder Player?

Folder Player is a free Android application (no ads) which knows how to play directories the same way you play mp3/ogg/flac files :-) It can play individual files, folders, or whole folder trees.

Why another player for Android?

There are several great mp3 players out there. If you're happy with them, you probably don't need another one. But if you reached this site, you probably have the same problem as I had before I created this app - you tried many players , and your access to your music still too cumbersome.

Is Folder Player a solution?

If you want to manage playlists, album pictures, and edit mp3 tags - Folder Player is probably not the best fit for you. If playing music is what you do with you music player (Duh!), this is your lucky day :)
Avoiding rarely used things enables Folder Player to perform better in the most important thing you do with your player - listening to the music.
Here are the basic principles which were used to build the software:
  • User already organized music into folders (this is natural, isn't it?) - lets take advantage of this fact.
  • Playlists are useless most of the time. They're killing user experience. Folders are our playlists now.
  • I open player, and get to my music right away. You don't need to click around to reach music you love.

How to get?

Tips

  • Touch folder's play icon to play songs inside the folder
  • Touch folder name to see songs inside folder.
  • Long touch play button to re-play song or whole folder.
  • Long touch name of file or folder to delete file or folder
  • Quick volume up\down or down\up for next\previous song (this would work only if screen is unlocked)
