okay then you broke something because on my old Samsung tablet I can use it to listen to sounds

as in use the file explorer to 1) open some other sound player app or 2) listen to it in the file explorer itself

if its 1) which sound player app

if its 2) thats a weird design choice imo

listen to it in the file explorer. i don’t think it’s a bad choice because it prevents from adding ever more unneeded apps (bloat)

can you also watch mp4s in your file explorer or is it just inconsistent with itself? also which explorer in which OEM and version?

yes I can, I’m using files by google (latest) but the samsung one should work with mp4s as well

ok guess i need to give google even more of my data to play mp3s. also my default file explorer cant play mp4s and instead opens the videos app, like any normal file explorer would. guess android just sucks

I think your phone just sucks
