Simple, full-featured, file-based music player
About this app
SicMu Neo is a lightweight, full-featured, file-based audio player with a simple to use UI and low resource footprint. It is especially well-suited for large music libraries organized in folder structures.
Installation Note: After a fresh install it might be necessary to go into the settings, scroll down and trigger a media scan. This will take at most one minute. After restarting the app, your music should appear.
Features: * Song grouping by artist/album or folder structure * Multiple shuffle modes, multiple song repeatition options, A-B looping, set playback speed * Shake the phone to skip a song (after enabled) * Light: starts in sub-second time and runs with no delay for music libraries with >1K files * Audio metadata reading * Filter by and edit star ratings * Notification with sound control * Scrobble support via third-party apps * Sleep timer (turn of music after X minutes/hours) * Multiple color themes (dark-red, dark-white, white) * Supports virtually all audio formats (mp3, ogg, flac, wav, ...)
New in this fork: * Search * Advanced album art loading (You have an Album.jpg file? It will be considered.) * Album art zooming * Individual mono/stereo settings per audio output * Radio shuffle mode (Random song order, starts first song selected at random point in the song) * More options in long press menu, e.g. search on Genius.com or YouTube.com * Changed the audio backend to the modern ExoPlayer, causing less RAM usage (220MB prior vs 135MB now) * Ability to read comment metadata fields * More translations (most notably Spanish) * Basic accessibility support * bugfixes

Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete
Launch the app from your home screen
Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.
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 xyz.mordorx.sicmu 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, 2.4.7 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall SicMu Neo 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 SicMu Neo, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.

Permissions Required
What each permission lets SicMu Neo do. A highlighted one is worth a second look — not necessarily wrong, just worth asking whether this app needs it.
Previous Versions
The signing certificate fingerprint for this release is on record, so a build that does not match it did not come from this publisher.
