Having heard such praises about QuasarMX on this page alone, I gave it a try and installed it. The first impression is, meh. So is the second. I have played with it for about 10 minutes and I am serously considering getting rid of it, like I did with the Jolla's default media player and any other player in Harbour that I tried.

The main reason is that it is just like any other media player: it insists on using tags. I do not care about tags. My music collection comes from many sources and the tags are not always consistent. I am not ready to go and retag my entire collection just to make a random media player happy. Software should be my slave, not the other way around.

Back to Filetug and playing a folder it is. It has its quirks too but it suits my needs better.
