## What is Roadtrip Music Player?

Roadtrip Music Player is a music player that focuses on 3 things:

- Quick / Remote Control over what is playing back
- *Multiple genres* per song; find and browse better!
- Reliable offline; Play only what's on the device

In this hyper-connected world of always on, always connected devices, are you retro like me and just want a device that plays your music and isn't constantly trying to push you into a cloud of data and subscriptions?

Have you ever just wanted to go for a Sunday drive, with an app that does a good job of showcasing your hard work in managing your Music Library?

This app solves problems:  you're on a Roadtrip and you don't have access to the internet.  You don't want to try to play a song that isn't on your device.  You think it's on your device, then you go to play it only to discover you have to stream or download it, and you're not online.  If only you had known; perhaps you would have made sure it was there before your trip began.

Roadtrip Music Player is perhaps your best bet.  Designed to require almost no physical interaction, can also be controlled by the controls on your car's steering wheel, the app was designed with roadtrippers, vanlifers, and other music lovers who spend time curating their Music Library, in mind.

This app is also for those who lament that someone designed digital music tags to assign only one genre per song.  Does that make sense?  Most songs can belong to many categories, so why don't they?  This App can leverage multiple genres per song, if you are such a conscientious person and have organized your music library to assign multiple genres per song via a delimiter.  This is all a bit techy for now, so you can discover more in the app.

Create playlists if you need to, but most likely with the advances in multiple-genre-songs, you may find that "semi-automatic shuffle mode" will provide you with a great listening experience.

Just remember: it's up to you.  So much of this app depends on how well you take care of your music library, and will let you know how "healthy" it finds it.

Additional Features:
- Driving Mode:  Don't let the screen sleep when plugged in.
- Multiple Genres.  Let "80s; Pop; Rock" be 3 genres, not one.
- One-tap "semi-automatic" shuffle mode.  Guide your musical journey while not distracting from your journey on the road.
- Playlist creation and editing
- Search by song title, artist, album, composer, ...

Happy Roadtripping!

### 5/5 — Great! Easy retro way to listen to my music library!

*2023-12-25*

Lets face it, most free music player apps are either castrated teasers to sell working models or are hooks to get the user to pay for cloud services. This is the first one I’ve found which allows me to unplug from the internet and listen to my own music library. 

No ads, no long lists of nonworking features which work if you pay for another version, no co-dependency on the cloud!

This app is simple, takes a few minutes to learn and it actually works when I’m not connected. So simple! So easy! My only complaint is that to be perfect it would allow me to permanently disable the shuffle feature. Which will never happen, since I think there are only a few of us left in the world with sufficient attention span to actually listen to an entire album.
