LaPlayer light

About LaPlayer light

The application is designed for playing and downloading audio files.

Originally "LaPlayer light" was conceived as a shell for the downloaded audio files. Frustrated by the shortcomings of the existing leading audio players, I developed my own version. Gradually the functionality has grown significantly.

The main application window presents three sliding pages: Albums, Audio Tracks, Playlists. The application searches the data of audio files in a media database and directly in the directories of device's external storage. For switch to the "Folder Player Mode" need a select in menu "Search Folders".
