Ha ha paying for a music app ffs.
If the stock android one wasn't so godawful there would be no need for this, remember using the Samsung Galaxy one, horrible user experience.

Exactly, why pay for ANYTHING?
I mean, someone has gone out there and written their own version of a music player, thinking their interpretation will be preferred by some people out there... If I want the fruits of his work, why the hell should I pay for it?

Does this have cue file support or Podcast management? Unless it has both I'd use poweramp over this.
If I wanted a free music player I'd use rocket player. Probably better than shuttle anyway.
Theres no music player with decent quality, podcast management and cue file support.
It's a shame android removed the ability to show media player controls on the lock screen in lollypop. Unless you want all your notifications shown on the lock screen and then you only get them in a tiny little bar - a real step back.

Yep, after I 'upgraded' to lollipop I bought a new phone running KitKat. Much better.

Bought it. Thanks for sharing. I used my Google rewards credit to pay for it. It's faster then PowerAmp, has no ads on the trial version and much neater and polished.
EDIT: You have no access to folders when using the trial version. Paying for it has unlocked it but it's pretty terrible. You can't remove entire albums. I have "What's app recordings" show up. Have to "blacklist" each audio from the albums because there is no way to hide the album.
Minor things like that can be very frustrating. Especially when I paid for it. Back to using PowerAmp for now. I can't have every single bloody audio on my phone be thrown into the total songs. I have no time to go and individually "blacklist" them.
**** app.

Thanks for the review. It's a shame it won't let you exclude folders. It seems like every 3rd party music app either hogs system resources or has annoying little quirks like this. Can anyone suggest an alternative?

Kitkat has the no-apps-can-write-to-the-SD-card issue though! I'm thinking of going back to jellybean... Can't really think of anything too useful that's been added since then anyway!
Marshmallow brings USB-C so hopefully they've fixed the annoying things in that!

PowerAmp seems to be working fine for me. I wanted to switch because they don't let me change or edit music tags anymore. Says that the file is "read only" which I don't really get. It worked perfectly before.
I have not had PowerAmp hog my battery but my phone does get hot after hours of playback. Spotify on the other hand drains the battery.
Poweramp is perfect apart from the mini issue I have with it which is why I wanted to switch.

Running android kitkat with music files on an SD card by any chance? If so it's an android limitation and no android app will be able to edit the tags.
It's possible in lollypop but they need to use the new APIs which asks you to grant an app permission to write to the folder, very few apps are using them yet.
