Organise your playlists with Phonograph

Enjoy the fresh look and feel of this Material Design music player app.




Mobile music players can be tricky apps to negotiate. It is easy to get lost in a sea of album covers, playlists and artists. If you find this, then Phonograph Music Player might be the one for you. At time of writing it is still in its beta phase with more features being promised, but right now it is a simple, attractive, easily-navigable music player. It works alongside Last fm, giving users photos and biographies of the artists that they’re listening to. The always there play/pause button also enhances the user experience, making Phonograph a truly enjoyable app to use. If you are a technical music fan, you can also change the equalisation of individual songs to increase or decrease the bass at output of certain frequencies, enabling you to create your very own versions of your favourite songs. This tutorial will show you how to organise your music onto the app as well as how to construct playlists, jump to artists straight from their song and tag your music for much easier future navigation.

 Tips With Steps For Best Set-up

  •  Get the app and music.. 

Click here to download app:-

Head to the Google Play store and download ‘Phonograph Music Player Beta’. Ensure you have music downloaded on your phone. Unfortunately music downloaded from Google Play Music won’t play on Phonograph, so you may have to download tracks from another service.

  • Sort your music..

You will see a screen featuring all your music. Tap on the word Songs, Albums or Artists to access your music sorted into those categories. Playlists is an option but you won’t have any set up yet. You can also access these groups by tapping the three-line menu in the top-left corner.

  • Build a playlist

Head to the Songs menu and tap on the three-dot menu on the right-hand side of one of your songs. Select the ‘Add to Playlist’ option and that will bring up another menu where you can decide whether to add it to an existing playlist or create a new one.

  • Create a playing queue


If you want to play a certain selection of songs but don’t want to create a playlist, you can add tracks to the playing queue. Tap the three-dot menu at the side of the song again and choose ‘Add to Playing queue’. Phonograph will then play that track next.

  • Add tags to your music

Tap on the three-dot menu next to a song and scroll down to Tag editor. From here you can add in certain tags, such as the song title or the artist, for example. This is especially handy if you’ve downloaded music without that information, as you will probably need it.

  • Edit your music

Tap the three-dot menu in the top right-hand corner of the app and hit Equalizer. Press the Off button to turn it on and play around with the FX and boost levels. Unfortunately you can’t edit tracks on a song-by-song basis so may have to change it regularly..

  • Change the design


Tap the three-line menu in the top-left corner and then hit Settings. From here you can edit the look and feel of the app. You can change the colour scheme, the transparency of the toolbar and what page the app opens onto. This customization keeps the app fresh.

  • View your albums


Tap on the Albums category header. Next, tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner or the menu button of your phone. This will bring up a menu that has an option called Grid columns. Tap on that to choose how many album covers you want per row.
