Player

For music you actually own. Point it at a folder and it builds the library itself — no scanning service, no account, no matching your collection against somebody's catalogue.

What it does

Scan a folder, or add files one by one, and the library is built from your own files with their own tags — artist, album, art
Gapless — live albums and mixes run without the hole between tracks
Ten-band graphic EQ with pre-amp, and volume levelling so one track doesn't blow your ears off
Shuffle, repeat, an Up Next queue, favourites, playback speed, a sleep timer
Lock-screen and headphone controls, a home-screen widget, and it shows up in the car
Six themes and six launcher icons, from Settings

No internet permission. It reads the audio files you point it at and plays them. There is no catalogue to match against and no way to report what you listen to.

What it can reach

This is the whole list. Android prints the same thing under Settings › Apps › Permissions once the app is on your phone, and it was not written by us — check one against the other.

No internet permission	Enforced by Android — the app cannot open a connection
Audio files	Only the folder you point it at
Foreground service	Keeps playing with the screen off

Android 8.0 and up. Bought once, yours to keep: no account to make, no subscription, and no upgrade screen inside the app — the licence you buy unlocks it and every version after it.

Against the apps it replaces

Samsung Music leans on Samsung's account and Spotify; Poweramp is a licence server check on first run. This one has neither a network nor a licence check of its own
Folder-based, like Musicolet, with a proper EQ and gapless — and part of a Suite the others are not

Compared with Samsung Music, Poweramp, Musicolet.
