PMDA vs FolderPlay

PMDA (pronounced "pimda") is one music lover's take on building the music library of his dreams — and now yours. Point the app at your own self-hosted PMDA server and enjoy your entire collection, beautifully organized, anywhere you go. WHY PMDA Most music apps lock you into a subscription and their catalog, or leave your carefully-built library a mess of mismatched tags and missing covers. PMDA is different: 100% self-hosted, private, and it actually understands your music. WHAT YOU GET • Your whole library, everywhere — browse artists, albums, genres and labels, with rich, clickable artist pages. • Real listening — gapless playback, history, cross-user recommendations, synced lyrics and waveforms. • Lossless, your way — stream bit-perfect FLAC or save data with smart transcoding; download albums for offline, even on a plane. • Clean and yours — your files, your server, your rules. No cloud lock-in, no ads, no tracking, no AI. HOW IT WORKS PMDA mobile is a companion to the PMDA server (a free, self-hosted music library app you run on your own machine or NAS). Enter your server's address, sign in, and your library is in your pocket. Nothing is stored on our servers — the app talks only to the server you point it at. Built for people who are in love with music. Welcome.

FolderPlay turns a folder in Files into a continuous audio queue. Choose a folder once. FolderPlay finds supported audio files, keeps their natural filename order, and starts playing without importing or copying them into another library. Come back later and continue from the same folder, file, and position. It is a focused player for lessons, recordings, mixes, demos, chapters, and music already organized on your device or in a Files provider. FREE • Play one folder from beginning to end • Keep the source folder unchanged • Background audio and lock screen controls LIFETIME UNLOCK • Save and resume unlimited folders • Bookmarks, playback speeds, and sleep timer • One purchase, no subscription FolderPlay does not upload your audio, create an account, stream a catalog, or build a duplicate media library.
