@Spielmops Ask the devs. My guess is it's a typo and should not read "md3", but the "d" must be rotated 180° so it reads "mp3". Or not a typo but a marketing gag, so everyone and their little sisters install it to find out. Did you? 🙈

I will ask.

I'm searching for a simple musicplayer ever since. I installed every player-app from fdroid and your repo and found: most do not work with music on sdcard, many are not simple and one quarter is not working - like this one.

in reply to Spielmops

@Spielmops "most do not work with music on sdcard": that is strange. I usually have my music on the external SD card, and never noticed that. Conclusion: I did not try out "most" 🙈

As you will ask: I'm curious for the answer (might need to update the description then) 😉

The developer is working on a fix. I will observe this and tell you later.

from the developer:

"Hi. Firstly, I have absolutely no idea where you got that 0.53b package from. Symphonica is only released in my telegram group and this repository's GitHub release. I also don't know what is quake3-music. MD3 in the description means "Material Design 3", which is a unified design language and component library by Google. Perhaps you're mis understanding something here. ...

in reply to Spielmops

@Spielmops 🤣 Yeah, if you use abbreviations, make sure they are not too ambiguous I guess. The description was literally copied from theirs, as the APK was taken from their releases at Github: github.com/AkaneTan/Symphonica

So perhaps, the description of their Readme should be made a little clearer so it doesn't lead to misunderstandings. Though I have no idea either what has made the connection to Quake for you 🤷‍♂️

in reply to Spielmops

@Spielmops Yes, sure. What I meant is that **I** would not have any idea. I barely know what Quake3 is. I'm not a gamer 🙈

more:
"Also if you can't find any music in symphonica in Android 12, make sure you've upgraded your app version to 0.56b which contains backwards compatibility till Android 10."
in reply to Spielmops

@Spielmops Should become available in a few minutes here. But you'll need to install manually: as the devs forgot to increase versionCode, the update won't be offered automatically (see: github.com/AkaneTan/Symphonica…).
