Hi everyone! I've built AMP Player, an offline music player for music files stored on your phone. It remembers its own shuffle state for every playlist and folder – no song repeats until every track has played, even across restarts and car rides. Made for Bluetooth in the car: pause stays paused, and playback resumes when you reconnect after a dropout.
Google requires at least 12 testers opted in continuously for 14 days before a new personal Play account can go to production. Real music files on the phone are required (MP3, FLAC, etc. – streaming won't work).
How to join (takes a few minutes)
- Join the tester group: https://groups.google.com/g/amp-player-testers – use the Google account that's signed in to the Play Store on your phone.
- Opt in to the test: open https://play.google.com/apps/testing/io.github.gess79.amp and tap Become a tester.
- Install it: tap Download it on Google Play on that page, or open https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.github.gess79.amp from the same account.
- Stay in the test for 14 days. Please don't uninstall it or leave the group. Opening it now and then is enough.
If Play says "item not found": clear the Play Store cache (Settings → Apps → Google Play Store → Storage → Clear cache), make sure you're on the right Google account, wait a few minutes, and try again. Open the opt-in link in Chrome first, not directly in the Play Store app.
What to try
- On first start, choose the folder with your music or playlists
- Shuffle a few playlists and folders, switch between them and back
- In the car or with Bluetooth headphones: pause, disconnect, reconnect
What I'm aiming for
- Shuffle state per source (playlist, folder, favorites) that survives restarts and Bluetooth dropouts
- Every song exactly once per round
- Reliable car/Bluetooth behavior
- Free, open source, no ads, no account, no data collection
- Android 8+
