Folder Player Pro: What's New?

(Feb 2023) 5.02

Fixed: Exit button in notification (Android 13)
Fixed: Deleting Folders is back. For Android 11+, media files are deleted BUT folder technically remains in place while hidden in the app.
New feature: Tagging and adding tracks to queue from inside search results

(Jan 2023) 5.01

New feature: True reshuffling. Maximize distance between tracks from same dir to minimize occurance of tracks in the same folder going one after another (For folder tree shuffle playback)
Fixed: shuffled tracks forgotten after restart
Fixed: import\export of tags for newer Android versions
Fixed: Android Auto: names of the tracks were incorrect for long list

(Jan 2023) 5.0

This is a major new release 5.0. Much of the playback queuing was rewritten to make the player much more stable. This solved many of the smaller problems existed om the players for years, mostly related to shuffling and changes in the file system during playback. PLEASE let me know if you see any anomalies with playback, as this is a new system and things may not work as expected so I can fix them ASAP.
