About Bats! M3u streaming player
Bats! M3u is an extremely simple streaming media player.
It does one thing: loads m3u files containing http and https URLs, and plays them. You can also have content:// or file:// URLs in the m3u files, and as of 1.468 files relative to the m3u are supported!
To use Bats! M3u, download an M3u file, then open it in your file manager of choice. When prompted, select Bats! M3u to play the file.
If authorization is required, URLs should have http://username:password@host:port/ format.
For Android 4.1 and up, the UI is entirely handled within the notification bar. Click the notification itself to end playback, or use the buttons to seek or pause. For previous versions, a very basic UI activity will pop up allowing similar control over the app.
Bats! M3u respects audio focus, which means it will gracefully exit if you start another media player. It will also pause when you remove your headphones, and while Bats! M3u is running your headset button will play/pause the music.

Does what it says. Picks up m3u's downloaded from your browser or filemanager and plays them. Could not ask for more.

This product lacks any real GUI which can at first be frustratint, however overlooking this, it has no intrusive advertising, no "buy premium", it works flawlessly, playing streams effectively. A product that truely does what it says on the tin, nothing more and definitely not less. 5/5

Is this meant to be only for audio? No UI at all... I like how minimal this app is but didn't do what I needed. Social experiment?

2 stars for the small size. However, doesn't play many streams.

You should make notification open the app or popup and second tap to stop, otherwise it's hard to change internet radio channels for example

Exactly what I was looking for. Helps me stream radio shows with .m3u files. The lack of UI has me concerned whether I can fast forward, but I'm hesitant to find out because clicking the notification will turn off the music and it would mean restarting. Otherwise, it's great!

I was searching for a player that can play .m3u files. This is so lightweight and user-friendly! 5 stars! Now I can listen to my fav radio stations. Thank you for making this.

But the absolute minimum of controls and no interface! Could use an option to rewind during playback.

Almost no UI at all but a ribbon in the tray. To stop the app you must click the ribbon (took me some time to find it). Also to launch it, you have to open the m3u file directly. There's no other interface. But works like a charm.

Does what it says. Hard to figure out at first for those of ua who rely on Chrome, since it doesn't have an interface, but i used Dolphin to download the m3u and i'm happy. Wish bats could be chosen to detect m3us, but i'd prefer its small size

Works perfectly, just what I need, however could be improved by the interface displaying the track name, like how the equivalent app on my pc does, other than that, perfect

I have mp3's of my CD's on my server that I can play in Windows over SMB, but getting an Android app to do this is almost impossible. Most apps won't play the next file, or will stop playing if the screen turns off, and won't stream over the internet. Now, with my php webserve dynamically creating m3u playlists from my directories, I can play them with Bats over WAN or LAN! Works perfectly on my Note 2 7105T on Samsung 4.3. Perhaps more interface stuff would be a bonus, even a basic eq or cached playlists etc, but I can live without that.

Your app, qith perfect sound, very efficient with size, it plays ANYTHING... But only missing no an interface, just a option for view what streams are available in the m3u file, thats all,

I played my first m3u and had to reboot my Note2 to stop it. No controls appeared! When I opened the app -- it just took me to the google play site!
by S####:
5 stars. i would give 5+1/2 if you implement 2 things: 1) reduce permissions to the absolute minimum necessary, and 2) if/when network coverage is lost, have it re-try/resume the stream more persistently in case coverage comes back, like maybe once or twice a minute for at least 10 minutes.
