[Q] WP7 Audio player development

I am new to WP7, so I don't know much yet. I don't even have the phone yet, but from what I have seen, I don't like the default music player. So, I would like to try to make mine.
I already downloaded the WP7 SDK, with Visual Studio etc.
I found the following page with instructions for a simple music player:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh202978.aspx
However, I am stuck al ready at step 5. I am getting the following error:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The override file is there, so what does VS want from me?

The current VM that WP has out right now just sucks, there might not even be anything wrong with your app, trust me I know this from experience.

The more strange thing, is that it's just the tutroial app Microsoft made... However, will try some other solutions and otherwise, just start from scretch.

Finally! Someone else who also dislikes the default audio player. Visually, Zune is absolutely beautiful, but for a music player on a Windows device, it's got many downpoints.
I had a few ideas, some farfetched, others not so much... I'm unable to post links, but I was looking at one library called "zplay" that seems to support gapless playback, and is written in C#, easy to port. That's less farfetched.
More farfetched? Porting something like Rockbox to Windows Phone, though as it is, we'd need a hell of a lot more access to the device.
Perhaps the two VS solutions I started poking around at might open on your end, if you'd like them.
Anyway, what are your problems with the default music player on WP7?

Actually, I don't really like the Zune visuallity. In my opinion, there is too much space just unused, not much information displayed(song number in album, for example) and it takes too much time to start playing the song.
I will try to first just make a similar to Zune music player, shouldn't be too difficult. Then, I will try to add many sorts of playlists(recently added, most played etc.) and an EQ. I would like to see the tutorial app just to see how it runs in the background and how it's integrated with the UVC... After that, imo, we can start looking on integrating ZPlay(Not sure if gapless playback will work on our hardware) and may be Rockbox.

The zune experience was better on the Zune HD I hope they update it to work more like that.
But good luck!

All the best with your quest! (OMG, did I rhyme? )
Would love to see how your player turns out.

Yeah, exactly, not enough options in my opinion! Well put!
How about using XNA for this gapless business? Search your favourite engine for Windows Phone 7 code samples and go to the Media category on the msdn page that comes up and check out "Sound Effect". Run the project and deploy it with the emulator, it seems to be able to play things instantaneously with zero delay.
If you can access the media library with this (that's the key!) you could theoretically make it start playing the next track, say, 380ms early (as I believe that to be the delay between tracks; this is based simply on recording my phone's line out into Sound Forge and measuring the average gap.) Obviously it could be different between hardware, but it's certainly a start. Maybe I'll start messing around with this when my phone's done taking a dry rice bath.

Yeah, I was also thinking about starting with playing the file before the other song is nog finished...
BTW, found this somewhere at msdn:
The application user interface is where you implement the user interface for your application. If you use the Visual Studio template to create your initial application, this will be in the MainPage.xaml and MainPage.xaml.cs files. Your main application uses Instance to set the current track in the Zune Media Queue, initiate playback, and so on.
Your AudioPlayerAgent is instantiated by the operating system to handle actions requested by the user, either through your application’s user interface or through the UVC.
Your AudioPlayerAgent runs in the background and calls into an instance of the BackgroundAudioPlayer, which then calls into the Zune Media Queue to actually play the audio.
I just found out that when you use Nokia Music, Zune player is actually also playing. So, the best solution for gapless playback might be just to use that xxx ms method... Will see with VS2010 if I can get that AudioPlayerAgent started.
Still, would like to know how to get "Background Audio Player Sample" working... Any suggestions?

Fixed the problem. First, I didn't notice that the file was named Microsoft.Silverlight.WindowsPhone.Overrides.targets, instead of Microsoft.Silverlight.WindowsPhone71.Overrides.targets. No wonder I didn't notice that at the start! Microsoft will always be the same...

What if we used Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Media.MediaLibrary with that Background Audio sample to gain access to the phone's zune library? As far as I know, using XNA is the only way to grab access to it, I was able to do a test with displaying the library under the three buttons (in the sample, that is.) and it worked, I just need to make it active.
Any thoughts? As far as gapless goes, I'd assume we can do the timer thing at 380ms before the song ends to start playing the next song. Experiment a bit, you know?
Do you have your phone yet?

Yeah, got my Lumia 800 delivered a few days ago. What I really like about the Zune, that you see the following songs which will played. Really an amazing feature.
What I didn't like:
- no EQ
- you can't go from the "now playing page" to the playlist with songs
- scrolling in that playlist is awful(I hae only 300 songs and going all the way down costs to much time)
- Why the hell do we have an heart?
- album cover when you don't have a custom one is too boring.
Nokia Music is just the same.
___
However, I found a custom made music player on Marketplace. It's called Media Player, you can check out the trial version. Just a simply made music player, but in some ways it's better then Zune.
___
What I thought of doing is just doing a Pivot alike application and then just connecting it to the MyAudioPlaybackAgent(same as used in the BackgroundAudio). At least, I finally got the tutorial project working, it was just saying that Silverlight 4 SDK was not installed, while it was... Did I al ready say I hate Microsoft?

Lets see if I can explain some of this...

From what I've heard, the hearts help out smart DJ. Also you can set it to where the software doesn't sync your broken hearts to your phone, (Something very useful during the Zune Era)

Set zune to download missing info, and if you have a custom album why not have custom art? Maybe just add a random photo at the time you made the album

My Htc Hd7 has one, idk if there are any in the marketplace but see if you can load the htc onto your phone and see if it works.
Overall I agree with you and this is only the sec gen on windows phone but they will hopefully bring the full ZuneHD experiences to the Windows Phones.

I think it's a great app and have been using it for a long while. For listening to internet radio or streaming audio files in the background that you may find in the browser it is superb. I can only suggest one competitor, VLC. But this is focussed on audio and is lighter weight. Just the other day I couldn't find an audio player to play an mp3 I downloaded to my sdcard: I ended up just sharing the url from the browser straight to Servestream! My main gripes is are that the icon is not pretty and it seems to buffer very little so that it is quite sensitive to network disconnections. Thanks and keep up the good work!

Hey. While I do believe this is a great medium for what you are trying to do, how about some more info? Specifically a general description and a link to where we could find the app. I have it on my list of things to research this weekend, but for better response from the xda community in general more info would be helpful.
Welcome to xda!

I would love to post a link however my "noob" status prevents me from posting links until I have at least ten thread posts . I can supply you with some info though. I originally set out to build an open source application that would let me browse and play songs from my GNUMP3d media server. After the app had been out for a while I discovered people were using it to play podcasts and online radio stations. Although this use hadn't occured to me originally I embranced the idea and ran with it. Basically the application will let you play any streaming media that Android supports natively. It will also let you "browse" webpages by parsing the links and presenting them in a list. This functionality allows me to browse and play songs from my media server. I also just integrated FFmpeg into the application. This allows me to retrieve stream metadata, album art, and, after a year of trial and error, I just added mms:// and mmsh:// support using that library. This is just a brief overview of the application, let me know if you have any additional questions!

Thanks for the feedback. The buffering is definitely an issue at times. The only problem is that the Android MediaPlayer API doesn't allow you to change this. This is why I have started down the FFmpeg route. It's way more complicated but it gives me, and thus, the user more flexability. The icon could definately use some work. I will be revamping the icons in the next month so look for that to change in the future.

Now that I'm able to post links, here is more info about the application:
Open source HTTP streaming media player and media server browser. Ideal for custom online radio and SHOUTcast streams.

- Video: 3gp/mp4
- Metadata retrieval using FFmpeg
- Supports multitasking/playing in the background
- Repeat and shuffle modes
- Alarm clock support
- Home screen widget
- Shortcut support
- Utilizes HTML parsing to allow navigation of HTTP media servers that serve HTML pages

Edit: it's ok now in the newer versions
Yes the icons and the ui were pretty bad...
But if I remember right,this was the only player that would stream yourmuze music and allow me to turn off my screen...
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda app-developers app

Although I agree the icons could use some work, I wouldn't say the UI is bad. I think it's very functional without the unnecessary eye candy that some people think is required for an app to be good. With that said, I'm actively working to make the UI more polished and these changes should find their way into the next few releases.

Hi Wseemann,
Thanks for Servestream - I find it very useful. Just one ask: allow the user to vary the cache (upwards).

Thanks for the feedback. When you say "cache" are you referring to the buffer size? It appears you are asking for a setting to control the buffer size, is that correct?

Yes, I would like the cache to be bigger. There is a bug that is related to this. I have a CM7.2 phone and radio stream I play is very solid. Every now and then it drops out but then it recovers. However, on my CM10 phone (p990), if the WiFi disconnects , as it does periodically, the audio comes back for a split-second and then stops. Then, if I would press play to start again, it plays from where it last started! I'm not sure how it does that but it is rather annoying. I have to back out to the list screen, find the entry I want and press it. From the now-playing screen there is no way to reach the list screen if I got there from the Notification bar; therefore you need a home button or ActionBar.

I just released version 0.5.2. This release should address some of the previous complaints.
New in this version:
* New icons and media player layout
* Embedded album art retrieval via FFmpeg
* Scrobble Droid support
* Russian translation, thanks to Константин Сучков
* MIPS Architecture support
* Bug fixes

I like the solution for the now-playing screen in 0.5.2: it's basically an action bar without an action bar. It is still hard to get back to a list of files in a http directory though; I would hope that eventually there would be a button that can bring me back to the list that I got the file from. I don't understand what you mean about Android buffering though; e.g. Antennapod can buffer podcasts just fine, though you can't set how much it will buffer. A couple of feature suggestions: include some http directories by default (such as listenlive.eu and magnatune.com:80/mobile) and support local file playback via a file manager. I think you forgot to mention ScrobbleDroid in the Preferences. I have noticed too that many asx streams don't play, but thankfully they are fewer and further between! Also we are working on getting the latest version into F-Droid: just having a few difficulties with the build server e.g. it doesn't have bash it turns out!

Thanks for the feedback. I'm still working on some UI improvements and I will include a better way to get back to the "browse" page in the next few releases. I realize that is a usability problem. Regarding the buffering, the Android MediaPlayer class doesn't offer a method to set the buffer size. The only way to control buffering when using this class is to download the file mantually and then send it to the media player class (progressive playback). I can make a buffer setting but it would only work with the progressive playback option enabled. That is why I'm moving away from MediaPlayer and focusing on using a FFmpeg based player. Does that make more sense? Regarding your other suggestions, the application currently supports local playlist files, Is that what you were referring to? I'm hesitant to add support for local, non-playlist, media files since those are usually handled by a standard media player and that change will make the application even more complex. I just fixed the omission of ScrobbleDroid in the preferences, thanks for catching that. Can you send me examples of ASX streams that don't play? I've been slowly adding support for these playlists but it's more difficult than one might think since playback needs to be done using AudioTrack and FFmpeg. Also, I didn't realize who I was talking to! I believe we have spoke on the F-Droid forums before. As I've said before, you guys/gals are doing a great thing, the project has really come a long way!

I have a phone with a menu button, but I don't see the overflow menu now. That is really necessary to be able to stop playback. I couldn't find a local .pls, I have a lot of m3us it seems and they aren't supported. I have another problem with playback: I can't actually stream files over 3g: they play for 10 seconds and then cut out. I'm on CM10 and it seems to work ok with VLC. This has been the way in v0.4 too. I can't think of a good example for asx, but most of the random candidates I tried on http://listenlive.eu wouldn't play. Regarding f-droid, the shell that's being used doesn't like [ $PIPESTATUS == 0 ] || exit 1 : invalid operator. Any ideas?

So, if you press the menu button you don't see the following menu?
http://servestream.sourceforge.net/device-2013-01-10-131302.png
When you say "I couldn't find a local .pls" what do you mean? Can you post links or email me the m3u's that are causing you issues? The issues with ASX files are still being sorted out. Sorry you are having so many problems with the application. Although I try my best, streaming and playlist parsing introduces alot of complexity and variance that can create issues.
Regarding the build issues, I believe $PIPESTATUS may only work with bash. You can simply comment out that line in arm-build.sh, x86-build.sh and mips-build.sh.

I do see that, but I have CM10 with the option to display the overflow menu button and I don't see the button on the Now Playing screen, so I'm wondering if those without hardware buttons would be unable to get to it; although they can probably remove the item from the play queue. Pausing and backing out, doesn't stop the stream properly

I understood that a pls that points to a file on internal storage can be played by Servestream, perhaps I got that wrong

I tried VLC again and that has the same problems. Stream plays for 40 seconds and cuts out: I've tried internet and wap apns. Must be a carrier problem.

Thanks , but mips-build.sh doesn't exist.

Servestream is simple and does its job, very good app if you just want to add the direct link to a stream and not fiddle around in some overcomplex radio apps with worldwide-search-feature.
Just a suggestion to the creator:
Maybe you should edit your first post and present screenshots, a short feature list, etc? That way this thread should grow better and you'll get more downloads.
But I also have a small complaint: When I press "Stop", the app continues to download the stream although I can't hear anything anymore. After a while it stops, but it's still not nice to eat my data uselessly like that.
Could you look into this problem?
Thank you!

Some of the user reviews:
I'm speechless! This seems to be the original sound cloud app now.... U people beat the official app hands down!
---
Pure undiluted awesomeness. The EQ is easily my favorite part of the app after the latest update. Only bass boost I've ever found for android that actually works. (Please keep both the low-frequency EQ slider and bass boost slider together, only having one never quite did enough for me.) Thanks for the awesome, frequently-updated juggernaut of an app!
---
Great app It does all I need it to do! In my oppinion its better than pandora. No advertisements, tons of music and it has music from completely new artist as well. Just like the sound cloud I love
---
Beautiful, functional, bug-free Hands down the best way to use your Soundcloud account on an android device. Extensive functionality lets me do everything from conveniently liking tracks from the notification bar to making all kinds of playlists (you even have the equalizer - amazing!). This app is truly a lifesavior when it comes to streaming music, especially when Soundcloud's official app keeps crashing every two minutes. Thanks guys!

Auto-translated from Portuguese
very good, would recommend Thank you. The app is great, hard to find one like that, at least with me was difficult. administrators of the app are very attentive, they respond to each comment, whether to thank you or ask what the problem or to calm the person saying that an update will come soon. In short, the app is great and caregiver is attentive. I have nothing to complain about my cell is bad and still withstand the app very well.

Impressed Really like this app as an extension to Soundcloud. Seems to be regularly updated too which is always a plus. Highly recommend it.
---
Best soundcloud-player! This player is getting better and better. The best soundcloud app I've tried so far.
---
Worth it!!!!!!!! Love it the best app that I've ever seen I'm a long time it was hard at first to find out what did what (maybe add a tutorial) but doesn't matter best app EVER!!!!!!!!!!! I even got rid of the original soundcloud app Thanks!!! I will now share this discovery to everypony I know this discovery must not be passed I give it 5/5 brohoofs!!! ( im a brony if no one gets it)
---
Finally a soundcloud client that works The official soundcloud app is a hog, chewing through my battery in 6 hours. Now this app will let me listen to my stream for the whole day. And now with extended notification controls even. That's like a cherry on top of the cake.

Both super fast both solid. It really deserves more than a perfect 5 star

Review from My Android Music Apps:
With the My Cloud Player app you have the chance to have copious amounts of music at your fingertips. The My Cloud Player remains a popular app due its ability to connect and share music.
You are able to search for users and then follow their profiles. You are not secluded to your own tracks on My Cloud Player. You are able to listen to the other user’s tracks and even their favorites.
Music Player that allows you to explore and listen to music from My Cloud apps and playlists created on the apps. You can even the follower’s followers creating an intricate network of users and access to songs you can easily access via your phone at any time.
Imagine a connective environment in which you are able to access any song at any time. It may sound too good to be true but with My Cloud you are able to connect with people and thereby connecting with the music.
Perhaps you are offline. Well, you can listen to My Cloud Player apps as well. You can have up to 500 MB (this limit is removed in newer versions) of tracks on this single app.
The My Cloud Player actually allows you to externally store more songs. This means you will have access to your favorite songs while offline, much like an MP3 player. My Cloud Player apps allow you to also to externally store as many downloaded songs as you want.
Simply set up your offline storage devices and you are set.
You will need to approve a full network communication access to your phone from you My Cloud Player app. By setting up this full network you are allowing the My Cloud Player to set up network and customize your personal network protocols. These protocols actually go through your phone to contact the internet so the device will work more efficiently by itself.
The My Cloud Player app also pauses itself when receiving phone calls. This means the device will never interrupt a phone call. The app also will write data on the phone’s SD card. It is advisable to get an SD card for any music lover. If you wish to download music you are going to be able to do everything via My Cloud.
The My Cloud Player is an incredibly helpful app for any music lover. If you want to improve your music-listening experience then My Cloud is the correct app for you. With its incredibly simple operating ease and network connections, My Cloud Player opens the doors for a vast music experience on and offline.

i'm working the app almost every, adding new features (right now i'm implementing Volley library).
So, if you have some ideas, or bug to report, feel free to post them here.
Strange how low feedback i get from the users. For example i get: 'Its not working' or 'Not good' and that's all

Very good app!
This is what the Soundcloud app must've been, I really love the offline listening option.
Good work, dcucko!

i have web app too, for same reason, soundcloud (before next) was really bad for listening music, so i started my app.
you can go to http://mycloudplayers.com to check the web app.
i have the idea to manage cached files on android on web app, and i hope that web and android app will be more synchronized and more easy to work with.

Hey man, do you think there's a possibility to change the pop-up menu when you choose a track?
For example, when you select a track, it starts playing directly. But if the user wants to do other things like downloading to cache, add to playlist, etc, then you show the pop-up menu.

i totally understand what you think. soundcloud library is lot more bigger than user music library on the phone. and the behavior is little bit different.
let's say, it will play the track on click, but the problem is - what next?
i'm thinking of creating a settings screen, so maybe i will add an option where you can choose what to be default action on track click.
another thing is settings probably will be to choose 'download folder' lots of people are asking for this, but so little time and so many bugs to fix
thanks for the feedback.

nice app

Yeah, I understand. I only use Soundcloud for some songs and I don't really need to play every song.
But when I'm on the cached tracks, it seems redundant to choose what to do and it should behave as a playlist automatically.
And maybe you should update the app weekly: instead of pushing a little update everyday, you have one update with more fixes (plus avoiding angry users because of constant updates).
Thanks for your time on the app :victory:!

[APP][2.2+] Feather - Lightweight Transparent File Based Music/Video Player!

This is my third app, and I'm still a little new to android development, any feedback or tips is greatly appreciated! I have many plans for future features and updates that could improve or add to the ad. Also, any ratings or downloads help, thanks!
Also, if you have any suggestions or bugs, please feel free to reply to the thread, It helps me create a better app for not only myself, but the entire community!
Inspiration: Personally, I still play my music off of my SD card on my phone, as I find streaming music to eat up all my data, or just really slow and buggy. So I personally would use Google Play Music, or Shuttle (Which is great by the way). And the problem I had with these apps, is that I didn't enjoy they're light theme too much, it made my screen too bright, which would eat my battery, and the way they would scan your SD card was often unreliable, in the terms that it often wouldn't find some of the music I put on my phone, and if I added new music, the refresh would find it if I was lucky and often times I would have to re-install the app just for it to find my music. And on top of that, Google Play Music or other heavy media players would freeze my phone, or make it really laggy when i was in a hurry trying to do something. With video, I often found myself annoyed by the timeout of on screen video controls, or accidentally popping up on the screen and blocking what i was viewing, and I thought it'd be better if they were simply only in portrait mode so you could just flip your phone if you wanted to change something. And also, I once had a rom with a transparent theme, which made everything look so amazing on my phone. So this is why I decided to make a lightweight, transparent, and minimal music app for android that uses a file view rather than a music one to play music and videos.
App Description:
This app requires an external storage (SD card) to run, however most phones already have this.
Looking for a music or video player that isn't slow, always crashing, or freezing your phone? One that allows you to find what you want to listen to or watch through a file explorer, instead of scanning your entire external storage, just to not find everything you have on there? Tired of external codecs, and just want the native ones that are much more reliable and fast? Do you find full screen video controls getting in the way of your video, and you think that they are annoying? Well, Feather was created for just these reasons, and it is presented in a minimal, beautiful, and easy to use format. Where it is all quite reliable, and always quick.
Features:
Playlists - Play videos or music together in a playlist, watch a whole season or listen to a whole album continuously!
Light Weight - APK ~ 300kb (Paid) 1.3 MB (Free) / Installed ~ 1MB (Paid) 4MB (Free)
Fast - Mostly everything pre-loaded when app is opened
Ongoing Notification - You can easily see what's playing or return to the app anywhere in your phone
Compatible - Works with most headset media controllers
Beautiful - Uses your system wallpaper as it's theme, and uses a semi transparent look above it
Distraction Free - All controls are in Portrait mode, so you can focus only on your video in landscape
Smooth - Navigating the app is very fast, and aesthetically pleasing
File View - Lets you find the songs you want to listen to, to avoid moments when a player can't find it
Native Codecs - No extra downloads, uses native android codecs for easy and fast playback
Supported File Formats:
Music - mp3 , flac (Android 3.1+) , mid , xmf , mxmf , rtttl , rtx , ota , imy , ogg , wav , aac (Android 3.1+) ,
ts (Android 3.0+)
VIdeo - 3gp , mp4 , webm , mkv (Android 4.0+)
Permissions:
Read/Write External - to read media, and delete it from the SD Card
Network (Free Only) - For Ads
I'm open to suggestions, and would love to make this app better for the community, if there are any bugs are suggestions you would like to give, send them here: [email protected]
Thank you very much for supporting me and this app!

Thanks for the reply and feedback, I greatly appreciate it! I wanted to start things in the mount folder, but it's weird that its going there, I think i'll spruce up the file navigation a bit.
To access the menu you press the menu button on your phone, is that option not available on your device? If Not, I'll try and add it to the title bar
and I never experienced that before, thank you for letting me know!
Thanks for your feedback, I think I'll be able to get these things fixed tommorow or the day after. I appreciate you letting me know these things.
Just as a heads up for other people, the app should be okay to use, please don't be discouraged to try it out. and if you are, I'll fix these bugs ASAP!

Sorry for the stupid question, but if I decide to uninstall the plug in sometime in the future, what happens with the user and password for my Spotify premium account entered in this plug in?
Thanks in advance!

If you use your Facebook account, you can just revoke the application password. If you have a "regular" Spotify account, nothing particular happens. The credentials will be erased from your device (they're not stored within the app, but within the plugin only using Spotify's official library). They're not sent or stored anywhere else.

Ok, thanks for answering me. So if I used my regular Spotify premium user and password (I don't have a Facebook account) and I chose to uninstall the plugin then there's nothing else I should do, right?
Thanks again!

Hmm, getting blank pages and not pulling music. Any ideas?

Seriously awesome app and plug-in. Only been using it for a couple minutes but when casting spotify(maybe others too) Sound is still coming from my phone speakers. Volume controls the speaker as well. Would be nice if it acted like other casting apps and disabled the speaker and controlled CC volume. Minor bug. Not sure if a log or anything would help here. Let me know if you need more info.
Edit: is Spotify radio planned?

Saved tracks, artists and albums can't show up because of a limitation in Spotify's API. Your playlists should show up however, so you'll have to go through there for now. As soon as Spotify adds this ability, we'll add it within the app.

We'll change that in an update
Spotify Radio isn't planned for now, however we're looking to add a similar feature that works with your entire library.

Hi,
Where does it store the Offline Music? Is it possible to change it to External SD Card?

First things first: thanks for the app! I was really waiting for something like this.
Just started testing but two things:
- Playlist view: all my PLs are just listed in random order?! Even when I start reordering with drag&drop, the next time I come back to this view they are again rearranged. Folders view from spotify would be perfect.
- Modification of PLs: deleting Songs from a PL or reordering of Songs inside a spotify PL. (If you make the last Point happen this will be my one and only Music listening app)
Will get back to you after more testing.
Edit:
- Offline mode resets after app restart. I was not listening to Music for an hour or so. When I went back to the app and started music I was online (Ah, this belongs in the main app thread)

My service provider provides free spotify streaming (no data charges) , does it apply to this plugin ?

Most likely the free streaming is determined by the source IP of the server providing the data - so I'm assuming anything that comes from Spotify's servers is free for you.

This need shuffle and sorting options for playlist on Android TV

I've got an older device (Kyocera Hydro Edge) that I use as a waterproof music player/GPS on the motorcycle. Cheap here is key.
The Spotify plugin keeps crashing on me and the playlists don't seem to load. I have about 25GB of Spotify offline content if that makes a difference. Do you want a logcat or something?

This is a limitation (I believe) on the Spotify SDK/API. Once they add it, we'll add it.

Hello,
This seems awesome, I've been looking for an alternative to Spotify's default app forever.
But unfortunately the plugin doesn't seem to work as it should on my phone.
I set up an app password in Facebook and used it to login. I tested the connection in the settings and it works. I then looked into the library and saw my Spotify saved albums appear. I even managed to play one of them.
But now in the library I don't see anything except that album I played before (and my local files albums). And the Artists, Titles and Playlists lists are empty and never showed anything from my Spotify Premium account.
I tried using the search but it never gets me any result. I just get an endless "loading" icon. Is the search supposed to work only on local files?
Also, I saw an option to choose the quality for off-line downloaded content for Spotify, but I couldn't find the option to download something (album, playlist) offline. How does it work?
Thank you.

Ability to save offline music to SD card would be welcomed. The module doesn't even saves the data to internal(sdcard0)/Android, but to root folder so i can't even use XIntenalSD or anything else or at least localize the folder properly...

I haven't found the source code for any of the music providers. The providerlib's documentation is good, but having an implementation example would really help the development of new music plugins. Do you have any plan on releasing the source code of some of your plugins ?
Thanks.
