=== TL;DR ===<br />
Resort to the modern picker only when a folder cannot be added using the regular one, or regular one is giving you read-only access while you require read-write access instead.<br />
<br />
=== Long explanation ===<br />
<br />
Due to the crazy mess that Android's mass storage concepts are, you will encounter to distinct folder picker dialogs in foobar2000 mobile when running on a modern Android device.<br />
<br />
The "old" picker - implemented by foobar2000 - uses classic POSIX interface to walk device's filesystem. Depending on your device maker's decisions it might not let you access specific devices - USB storage in particular. Also, certain devices - typically removable SD cards - will turn up read-only.<br />
