FilePLAY is a music application that hasn't
been covered before on AAS, but it's
interesting in that it handles tracks by folder
rather than by metadata like album and
artist. Of course, if your physical folders are
properly organised then this amounts to
much the same thing, but FilePLAY still
presents an interesting alternative way into
your music collection. And, with this recent
update, it can now be updated through
2014, with in-app update checking.
From the description in the Nokia Store:
FilePLAY is a music player that play music
file directly from phone folder. Just
choose folder with music files and it will
play all musics in the folder continuously.
Supported files (formats) are
mp3,mp4,m4a,aac,wma,wav. Features:
Clean interface
Five timer option(From half hour to
two half hour)
Shake control (with sensitivity control
and work when phone is locked)
Orientation setting
(landscape,portrait,auto)
Full headset control (next/
previous,pause/play,volume)
Play/Repeat/Repeat All/Shuffle
Song Info
Curiously, we've never featured this before
on AAS. But noteworthy is that it does seem
to have both an active developer and a
future, with the new version 1.12.0 adding
'a check for update function'. After January
1st 2014, the application will check for, and
offer for download, updates directly from
the developer's servers.
The best way to illustrate FilePLAY is with a
brief walkthrough:

The idea, as you can see here, is to work
directly from the file and folder system on
your Symbian smartphone, tackling songs
within physical folders. This makes sense if
you've copied across a system of folders
onto mass memory or microSD, from a
desktop or laptop.

Drilling down here, then, to the individual
folder of music files that you want to play.
Then hit the play icon and you're off and
running.

Special features include a sleep timer (so you
can go to sleep with music playing and have
it stop automatically), shown left and, on the
right, a 'shake' setting, wherein shaking the
phone skips to the next music file.

The new update checking system working
as advertised, though nothing available yet,
obviously....
