About this app

This application is a remote control for the music player daemon (www.musicpd.org).

* For support for this application please open an issue at our GitHub repository ( https://gitlab.com/gateship-one/malp ) or use the given email address *

* Please check the Frequently Asked Questions if you have an issue (https://gitlab.com/gateship-one/malp/wikis/FAQ)

If you don't know MPD and are looking for a music player for android, we recommend you have a look into Odyssey, which shares the same user interface with this application. ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.gateshipone.odyssey )

The client implements most of the daemons functionality so that full media control and management is possible.


To filter albums this client uses the album artist tag (if available) to filter multiple albums with the same title (e.g. Greatest Hits)

We recommend that your music is tagged with musicbrainz library to get the best experience as the data tags are used to fetch artwork for artists and albums.

Features:
* Artist/Album/Files, saved playlist library browsing
* AlbumArtist filtering
* MBID filtering (multiple albums with same AlbumArtist and title can be accessed separately if MusicBrainzID is available)
* Local & server-based search
* Basic playlist management (add songs to saved lists, remove songs from saved lists, remove lists, save lists)
* Launcher widget
* Optional notification (enable in settings)
* Background volume control via hardware buttons (only with notification enabled)
* Multiple server profiles
* Server statistics (use this to request a database update)
* Output control
* Artwork support with MusicBrainz,Last.fm, Fanart.tv as artwork provider (Album, artist images)
* Fanart view for tablets or stuff like that (click on the cover in the now playing view, or select fullscreen mode from menu), best used on widescreen devices in landscape mode.

Glitchy, but works better than any of the other apps I've tried. Doesn't sort by release date, even when the option is enabled. Almost never shows the content in the artist view without closing and reopening the app several times. Visual feedback on screen touches is not reliable.

Overall good app, but missing some features like: 1. In Now Playing Playlist, can't select multiple songs, can't reorder them. 2. Swipe to Now Playing Playlist from Now Playing Screen. Found a bug, functions of both Shuffle Songs & Repeat Playlist has suddenly inverted by itself (i.e Tick = off).

It's ok- I use a Chord Mojo / Poly I just play from the memory card and only albums. Plays ok but I have to start a new album every time I turn it on, cant find album art. Its probably in the settings but cant find it.
