7 years ago I see that you implements your own MediaDB and tags reader. It would be great to implement support for BPM, comment, lyrics tags where it is possible. Especially BPM. The ability to sort songs by BPM.
We could add it at least for ogg and vorbis files (where we are using bastp to parse tags - androids metadata reader which is used for everything else does not return this information). But i would like to keep the songs table small and not clutter it with seldomly used information - but if there is demand, it's doable.
and then Limiter with the name of the folder is added to all tabs, as you have been implemented with the artists, albums and genres.
So how would work this with eg. artists? We would only show artists which are in this folder?
I propose add ability to select folder (s) to scan the music in settings. After folder is specified, the files tab location set to this folder by default.
Giving the user the ability to pick folders to include in the library is on my todo list for the medialibrary. (But the UI for it will probably not be included in the first 'medialibrary-based' relase)

Hello All! I searched for opensource music player with advanced playback queue, playlists, ability to sort media by tags (title, artist, track#, BPM, etc), and i found the vanilla-music project. I started using it some weeks ago and it's pretty cool!

I have a fairly large collection of music of different genres and for different situations. I divide it into category folders (eg, Metal, Jazz, Rock & Roll, My mixes, Work records). This is not the playlists - music is not duplicated in these categories. The problem is that all music players collects all the music in one heap without regard categories. At first time, I solved this problem by creating playlists for each category, but it deprive me of the opportunity to enjoy the comforts of the player (albums, genres, artists, sorting and searching) for each category. I propose to add the ability to filter albums, songs, artists and genres by category (folder) as follows: user open the files tab, selects the desired folder with music, opens a context menu with long press and selects "Show songs only from this folder" and then Limiter with the name of the folder is added to all tabs, as you have been implemented with the artists, albums and genres.
I think, most users do not need all the audio files from the device. They store all music files in a separate folder (often, folder "Music" on SD card or internal memory). I propose add ability to select folder (s) to scan the music in settings. After folder is specified, the files tab location set to this folder by default.
