Stealth audio Player

Really a genius concept and very well implemented yet very simple. Before Stealth audio player you had only two options to listen to audio files, either through speaker or earphones, but now this amazing app will enable you to listen audio from audio/video files through earpiece. For instance:  imagine you got a private voice message but forgot to bring your earphones at workplace, you can now make use of tiny earpiece instead of the main external speaker or in case you want to listen to music without disturbing others when you don’t have earphones.
