About this app

This project is a light-weight, simple, yet compatible audio player.

Supports Android 1.0+

It allows you to play audio and video files, like how you expected to. Most importantly it is designed in hope to make it compatible with different Android versions. Its usage is as easy as opening or sharing the file you want to play with the app, or selecting it directly from the app. Enjoy your music! Note that this project was originally known as simple music player.

Currently partially support m3u/m3u8 playlist files. More information below in section Playlist Support.

You can find most information about Little Music Player just below.

Different variations

- Tiny Music Player https://github.com/martinmimigames/tiny-music-player Smallest, most minimal, with the trade-off of only having the most basic features.

Playlist support

- Folder-based playlist on Android 5.0+ - Temporary playlist via multi-share function - Partial m3u/m3u8 support

m3u/m3u8 features supported: - Audio stream url (http/https) - Absolute audio path (e.g. /storage/emulated/0/Music/Example.mp3) - Nested m3u/m3u8 files (Absolute path only) - Custom audio name via "#EXTINF: [duration], [custom name]" , does not support duration

Features

- It's free Everyone should have the right to listen to music, therefore we aim to make it accessible.

- No advertisement We simply want a distraction-free experience for you, so you can relax and enjoy!

- Compact Less than half a MB in size, one of the tiniest audio player apps on Android! No need to worry about bloated apps again. (Currently less than 30 KB)

- Unbelievably compatible Strangely addicted to support, we believe that nobody should be excluded due to an older device. Therefore we have theoretical support starting all the way back from Android 1.0, and tested support on Android 2.3 and above. Isn't it amazing?

- Clean & Simple No awkward layout, no hidden options and straightforward, so you can focus on the content. Enjoyment is key, right?

- It simply works :) Even in the modern world, there is always something seeming to fail. Luckily for you, this app was designed to work just like it is supposed to. It supports all audio types that your device supports.

- Minimal permissions required Have you ever met an app asking for a bunch of unrelated permissions? Have you ever had some strange requests reminding you of a malware? Not this app! We will explain how we use all our permissions, so you know it's safe to use.

- No hidden third-parties It is completely open-source, and uses as little third-party libraries as possible.

If you worry about size, compatibility or privacy, this is the best app for you!

We use the foreground service permission to provide audio playing while using other apps. We use the notification permission for displaying playback control, as we are mainly a notification based music player. We use the internet permission to allow for audio streaming, however such function is still being developed, and can be very buggy. We use the read storage/audio/video permission to open the audio files. Required for older devices, and m3u/m3u8 processing.

(Beta function) Share a url containing a media file to Little Music Player to stream it. Or use a m3u file with the stream url inside.

How to install this safely

How to verify the file you downloaded

Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.

What the signing certificate proves

Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be com.martinmimigames.littlemusicplayer is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.

How to roll back to an earlier version

If the current release misbehaves, 2.12 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Little Music Player first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.

Why we list sources instead of hosting everything

The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Little Music Player, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
