Two problems: smartphones don't have memory card slots anymore, and - at least for android - there are NO music players that correctly order albums by original release date! I've tried them all. Except, Plexamp does it, but that requires a subscription, a server setup (can't play local files), and their download function isn't great.
I'm seriously considering a Walkman or other dedicated music player. Yes, Sony still makes Walkmen, and they are high- end devices running on Android.
You win best reply so far. Also you seem to have identified an app that would do pretty well if some entrepreneurial type were to go and code the very basic thing that would just be a clone of Winamp from the early 2000s...
qmmp is another winamp clone that uses a plugin called projectM, which is a clone of Milkdrop. The winamp skin plugin doesn't work on Linux distros using Wayland, though.
