Obligatory note for those that haven't read/retained the news: Simple Mobile Tools was sold to ZipoApps - an Israeli company that specialises in buying and monetising popular apps.

Fossify is the fork of the Simple Mobile Tools repos, and they're gradually getting through each app and re-releasing them under the new name.

Any reason to try something something else than VLC?

Not necessarily, and I tend to find VLC is still the better media player.

I was sharing more for the interest of those that were using the original Simple Mobile variant, and were waiting for the forked version to be released.

I used VLC in the past but switched to the simple music player after having too many bugs and crashes with VLC on my phone.
