> Really bad example. I'm still searching for a music player that allows me to select music by filesystem location. Any ("consumer device" as you say) I can find shows you your music by artist or album or genre, and it doesn't pose me a problem (I won't use it though) as long as I can select files and whole directories from a filesystem.

Check out Vanilla Player[1]. (It's in the F-Droid repo as well).

> Because I know where the music is on the filesystem even where I don't know the tags (because i'm the one who put the files where they are).

That's fine for you and me (I use %albumartist%/%releasedate% - %album%/%disc%[ - %disctitle]/%track%[ - %artist%] - %title%.%format%), but my mom and sister just drag'n'drop music and let the device sort things out, so filesystem browsing is approximately useless.

That's one I never saw or tested. So I will have to check this, thanks (it could take some time, though, as I just "lost" my phone...)

By the way, it fits one requirement I didn't express, it's foss (MIT, but you have to open the source to know it, bad ; being on fdroid was a good lead, though).
