Alright, pretty good, but here is how it can be better: I use this as my default media player because YouTube is terrible, and the naming issues are too literal. I had to reorganize my audio (music) files names so they would fit into the categories better. Plus, and this one is important, please make the shuffle button better. Out of 1200 songs, it will only shuffle between about 100 of them unless I select a new song more than 100 songs away. Oh, and please add a way to filter files by artist.

A bit difficult to navigate more and more as the updates roll. If something's not broke, don't "fix" it! Every time I get used to the functionality, another version is released over the previous version with no warning and, bam, you gotta learn how to use it all over again. Let's focus the updates on something that actually needs updated.

Great app, just one minor problem. I'd have downloaded audio in the background and sometimes it will completely close out of the app and stop the music entirely. If I don't go back to the app it stops the music and when I open it again it doesn't play the song that wS playing, it'll go back to the download that I clicked on before going out of the app. The app does what it does and is overall a great app, I just use it for downloaded music so this issue is quite bothersome.
