trying to open an mp3, why is there no normal audio player

did i accidentally uninstall it or does android just suck

I can use the files app the open them, seems you uninstalled it

which “the files app” exactly? the only files app ive ever had (pre)installed on my A20e was the “My Files” with a white folder on a yellow-orange-ish background, which is very much still installed.

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?

i don't think android has a stock file manager
