1. Playlists
- M3U Playlist importing/exportingBlackPlayer has no official M3U import or export function, the Android system takes care of importing playlists.
The M3U file needs to be encoded using local paths Local path (Music.mp3 in same folder as the M3U file) and not with absolute file path (ex C:/Program Files.../../Music.mp3). Android can only auto import M3U Playlists with the local paths in the M3U files. The file needs also to be in the same folder as the Tracks that is in the M3U Playlist.
More technical info on M3U: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3U
2. Library
- How to add Tracks? Exclude folders from Library?BlackPlayer uses the build-in Music library, therefore no excluding or including can be done. The Android system on your device manages the library and is shared amongst other Music players.
If you really want to exclude folder. The Paid (EX) version can blacklist folders.
- Add support for additional audio types. (Musepack, alac, wma, cue etc.)
Since BlackPlayer uses the build-in audio decode from your phone. The supported formats vary between manufactures and android version.

SvaraRaderaMy created Playlists or changes I make to the Playlist is list when I have to reboot my phone. I like the app and purchased the upgrade but it is frustrating to have to set up lists over and over.
SvaraRaderaWhat is quick lyric used for?? How can I use quick lyric?! Plz EXPLAIN!!!
SvaraRaderaIf i go to Albums there's 4 of each track in there.
SvaraRaderaI like to use random play of all the tracks on the phone, but it always plays the same dozen songs (to often) why is it not truly random of all 400 tracks?

SvaraRaderahey my music won switch to the next song automatically and just stops when the song is over. Can you fix?
SvaraRaderaWhen I open black player, "Tracks" is selected in the action bar and my music library is listed by tracks. If I press on "Artists" then it is listed by artists - great! but now "Tracks" has moved off the screen to the left and I can't go back to it. How do I then go back to listing by tracks?
SvaraRaderaCheers, does it play gapless? I am lookign for a player that plays gapless for my classic and progressive stuff, and others...
SvaraRaderaI can't get it to turn off shuffle play. For months it played everything in order, which I wanted. Now it isn't, and I can't figure out how to turn it off.
SvaraRaderaIf your like me your trying to turn it off on the tracks page. You want the Now Playing page, the one with the bar for selecting where to play within the track. There is a shuffle on/off button in the bottom right.
