UPDATE: It does support multiple directories. Multimedia files are separated into Video and Music sections Each time the application is launched, it runs a quick search to detect newly added media files.

It has a nagging beta warning screen that pops up each time you launch the application.Īt the moment, the application doesn’t seem to support multiple directories, so your music and video files all ought to be on the same storage space or folder for VLC For Android to detect them all. The news across tech sites is that it doesn’t support every device out there and it has a preference for ARMv7 NEON processors which luckily for me is what the Pliris Blaze + is running on at the moment.īeing in beta phase, it does have some faults such as not been able to arrange music files by track number as well the app hanging in the notification tray whenever memory is cleared while music playback is going on.

It plays my wma files without a fuss as well as every other movie and audio format which I’ve so far being reproducing with MX Player and Poweramp. Luckily for me I don’t have to pay that $5 any more, as the developers behind the uber successful VLC Media Player have finally released VLC Beta for Android and it’s simply magnificent. Up until a few hours ago, I relied on Poweramp which comes with a 15 day trial after which I’m expected to fork out $5 to continue enjoying my wma encoded music files. That’s the format in which 90% of my music nuggets are encoded ’cause that way I get to pack more music into a small space on my microSD cards. So I recently hopped on the Android platform with the cool Pliris Blaze + ( click here to read the Pliris Blaze + review) and have been reveling in the plethora of apps the Google Android ecosystem has got to offer.įor literally everything I’ve set out to achieve on the device, there’s a free app but none exists for Windows Media Audio files.
