Accidentally updated Samsung Music Player and now there are ads. Feel free to fuck right off.

It's a fucking music player. It has no upkeep, it just plays mp3s that are already on my phone.

absolutely untrue. all software requires maintenance. for example, when the OS updates.

go spend a few bucks on a decent mp3 player app and you won't have ads.

I've had the same music player app on my phone for 3 years without updating it and it had no ads. If I didn't update it, it would have continued to work just fine. My user experience is actively worse now.
