Meridian Player can save playlists and features all the other perks you would expect from a multimedia player; Shuffle, Repeats, album artwork, etc. You can also play music/video from a folder on your SD Card.
Meridian Player shines in its usability improvements over the the Default Music player for Android created by Google. For example, to Pause/Play… simply tapp the album cover. When watching a video and you need to rewind/fast forward, simply swipe the video left for rewind or swipe right for fast forward.

Usefulness:
In the Android music/video player realm… this app is very useful because you don’t need 2 apps for one function (cough… Music Player & Video Player)
Ease of Use:
Some might argue one of the usability features aforementioned are not intuitive as “Seeking” in video does not have the Seek Bar. Once you figure out how to swipe to seek, you’ll love it! (Or simply tapp “Menu” to get the onscreen Seek bar back)
Frequently Used:
Dependant on how often you listen to music or watch videos on your Android phone.
Interface:
The user interface is simple and intuitive.
