This suggestion is for Vanilla Music an open-source powerful Android music player.
I can see why a lot of people enjoying this open-source application, it is because this music player will not disappoint us. But as this article title stated is, I am making a minor enhancement request to the developer of this open-source app.
Suggestion
I am requesting to the developer of this application for this minor enhancement about the file manager category as one of the features of this said application. My request is all about to show only those folders with music files inside other than showing all the those all folders found in the phone storage.
Suggestion details
Sometimes, the user wants to know the location of the music media files in our phone storage, that's why this application can give so much help in finding the specific music location. The Files category on this application is is something makes this application more advanced than other music player that's is why, I really like to used this mentioned open-source app.
But the problem is, I find it difficult finding the specific folders which contains the music files stored in my phone storage. This is because, the application just show all the folders in my storage. This is difficult considering if the user has many folders available in his/her storage.
The highlighted part are the folders found in my phone storage and looking for it, I cannot tell if the folders has music files inside. In fact, all those folders shown has no music contained in it.
Another thing is, even this application is a music player, but it shows also the video files that stored in my android phone. Even those documents or even .pdf files was also shown. As seen in the following screenshot from the application that was installed in my phone, you can notice those documents, pictures and even videos file container.
Importance of this suggestion
To recall again, this suggestion is very important to the user if they wanted to browse the specific location of a specific music. By the manner of just showing only those folder in the Files category with music files inside, then the user can easily locate those folders that contained music in it.
As for now, the application shows all the folders that can be found in my phone storage, and it is very difficult for me to locate those folders that contains my stored music. Since this application is a music media player, I'm hoping also that those documents, photos or even pdf files will not be shown in the Files category.
That's all. I'm sending my best regards to the developers of this Vanilla Music for doing this amazing application.
