Accessing music on samba share I'm in the process of putting a large amount of music ~1.5TB (in many folders) into a samba share on ubuntu. I'm wondering what a good application to stream this to android would be, currently I can access the samba share with es file explorer, but I don't think it will be good for playing albumbs. Testing it out, it could play individual tracks quite well, but I could find no play all option for a folder in any of its play options. I don't need album art or search by artist, just want to be able to play all songs in a folder quickly/flexibly. Thanks in advance for any tips.
There are a couple of good samba network music players available on market. For starters you can take a look at Soumi: Network Music Player

Its keys features include..


  
  Plays music from shared folders on local SMB/CIFS network, e.g Windows share, WiFi drive, NAS, USB drive attached to router, etc.
  Plays music from FTP, FTPS, SFTP, and WebDAV servers
  Browsing and instant searching by artist, album, genre, and title
  Find, browse and play music by folder
  


Note; It offers In-app purchases for certain features



Other potential candidates include Kodi (which I personally use but is a bit tricky to setup and consumes a bit more battery power) or BSPlayer  which also allow playback of media files  directly via Wi-Fi from your network shared drives/folders.

Another option is using DNLA or UPnP (only downloadside is you need to setup a media server at the other end. In that case you can use DLNA players like Bubble uPnP or Plex.
