1. Picks random pictures for album art... ??? Picked a NSFW image that had nothing to do with a random song I downloaded, and added it as an album cover. Super awkward, and no easy way to fix it. This isn't the only time it has done this, but by far the worst example of why this is a huge problem. 2. Getting horrible audio artifacting from many high quality MP3s I have. I thought my headphones were blown out, but it sounds fine when I switch to a different app. This is your one job, vlc...
Please fix the playlist problems. I have made a large playlist 1500 songs. Whenever I move a song 1st it takes forever, I can't move multiple new songs from the bottom, where they go to the top. IT TAKES FOREVER. I also noticed if I try umto put a song in a spot after scrolling it up a full 90 seconds, FOR 1 SONG, even though I can highlight 50 songs to delete, i cant move them, but it will jump from say the middle where i wanted them, to very top of the list too, Idk plz fix prblm
I have always been disappointed by the lack of functionality and the hostile user interface. It barely even works since the upgrade. Putting together a playlist is a tedious, painful process. It's an intentionally broken product that became the de facto standard only so you'd pay money to use anything else. I've reluctantly used it for years because it came with the phone. I already feel better without it. My file manager (X-plorer) has a better music player built-in. Developers need be ashamed
