Has anyone used FolderPlay or another app that is similar?

I have a large MP3 list and don’t always want to make playlists 1 song/folder at a time. Came across FolderPlay as an option that should allow me to drop the root of my MP3 folder in and play all the songs, except it does not have normalization abilities (problem: my MP3s are a mess of different qualities and loudness levels, weren’t the 00s a fun time).
Has anyone used this app yet, or know of another that is a little less minimalist? Two important features for me would be “randomization” of the playlist and the automatic normalization of audio, not so important but nice to have feature would be a bass and treble adjustment.

mpv --no-video --shuffle dir/*.mp3 Or –profile audio-only and put them in a [audio-only] in the config, also the normalization options. You can also set respective keyboard shortcuts and add a mpris plugin.

You have two problems (three if you count MP3’s). Foobar2000 has a replay gain scanner system that can scan your files and add a replay gain tag to them which a music player can use to normalize the loudness. Audacious allows you to open a folder and play all files inside and has replay gain support.
