Soumi: Network Music Player

Recensione dell'Editore

Soumi Music Player is a high-quality music player that can scan, index, and play music files.

Scan, catalogue, and play music files alike from internal/external SD card, shared folders on local network, FTP/FTPS, SFTP, WebDAV servers, Dropbox, Google Drive, and other cloud services that support WebDAV protocol like BOX, CloudMe, ownCloud, etc., through WiFi or mobile network. It has easy intuitive user interface for instant searching and browsing music by artist, album, genre, as well as folder. It can also cache music files from the network folder when added to a playlist so that you can play them later when not connected to any WiFi or mobile network.

This player is different in two aspects. Firstly, you need to add your music folders, local or on network, under the 'Libraries' tab to scan and play music files from there. Secondly, it plays all music files only through a playlist. The default playlist name is 'Now playing”, but you can remove files from it or rename it for later playing.
This free version has no Ads, but is restricted to scanning maximum 400 songs from any server and a total 1000 songs from all servers together. You need to do an in-app purchase of the premium version to remove this restriction. Note that if you have made a donation earlier, it will be treated as advance payment made for the premium version, and you will get the premium version automatically.
