I thought I'd try an android media player to see if it would work. There are quite a few of them. A popular one is called Poweramp which has some of the features you mentioned. Perhaps it is in the android app stores set up such that Jolla users can take advantage of. So first I downloaded it from the Playstore (there is a free two week trial) on my android phone and then transferred the app to my Jolla phone via bluetooth (don't have data on my Jolla phone.) It seemed to work fine as far as playing some ringtones on the device. Also equalizer worked. But I do not understand where to put music for this app to play. Anyone have experience with this?


EDIT: Ah! I found it. It will scan for your music but you have to allow it access to your music folders (including those on Nemo if you like). Go to

Poweramp Settings => Folders and Library => Music Folders

and check off where to have access. Looks like it can read off from external card as well. I don't currently have extensive music collection so maybe someone can test how well shuffle works. But sound is very nice.

EDIT 2: Btw I added some of my favorite music by Bartok, Mozart, and Vilvaldi and it shuffled fine. I now have a nice little Jolla Player!
