Nota Player just does one thing, play mp3 music files from your device or your cloud storage, and it does it well. And it’s free and ad-free. Thanks to the developer for providing this app.
It’s easy to operate, but it could use some instructions or a help file. I had to figure things out by trial and error.
The folders in the app are playlists. To get started, click the add-folder button (the + with a folder icon). Name the folder, save it, and open the folder. To add files to your folder, press the + icon. That opens up a file app, which allows you to add a file from your device, your cloud storage, or a flash drive. Navigate to the file you want to add, click on it, and it’s added to your folder. Repeat to add more files.
To play a file, just click on it in the Nota app. The only media control in the app is play/pause. For other media controls, you can use the hardware controls on your device or on your keyboard or ear pods (if you have them).
The only feature I’d like to see added is the ability to add multiple files at once. I have some box sets with 100+ tracks, and all the clicking gets to be a bit much.
