Music Folder Player Full for $1.29 (no ads; Google Play)
If you are like to listen to music album by album (or folder by folder) and you are tired of busy-body Android music players that suffer from feature sprawl and resource hogging, there’s a folder player on sale at Google Play for $1.29, the Music Folder Player Full (no ads) by ZorillaSoft. This is the full app, not an unlocker. You can try it out by using their free ad-supported player (if you don’t hate ads with an unquenched passion). Obviously does not have the features and customizations of apps like Poweramp but sometimes more is less.
A couple of tips: 1) you can disable the Equalizer and also make it disappear from the UI, 2) turn off notifications if you get annoyed when each new track appears there, 3) specify music folders so the app doesn’t have to search for music everywhere. For more check the developer’s FAQ.
