Hi all,
I use this website for several years now, thank you all for sharing all your knowledges, roms, etc ...
Today it's my turn to propote my app
I made a music player with file browsing, 10 months ago, and I updated it.
Did you ever have music files without tags ? (for example ripped from your CDs)
Did you ever add some music in a "new music" folder in your memory card, without knowing exactly all the artist / albums ?
Do you know the "unknown artist" who sings the "Track 01", even if your file name is correct ?
For all those cases, this application will save you
I should work fine on your phone but many of you have custom roms so I would like to have feedbacks.
You can contact me at [email protected]
It should work with any roms,
The UI can support from small screens (320x240) to the biggest one (480x840).
Thank you,
See you !
nico.

Congrats
It seems quite nice.
Gonna try!
Thanks!

I've downloaded and tried this app. It definitely works.
What I would like to see is a design that is more sleek. The music player for 2.1 is a good example of what I'm talking about.

Looks soo cool & better than stock app.

I like it....would be cool to see some album art and maybe a paid version with no ads

seems like a decent app. the interface is very straigtforward and simple, but integrates well with sense. very cool that it is controllable through the applet (as it seems to to use the stock player for actual playback).
i have one suggestion: the fonts are unneccessary big in the file list, can you make them smaller or user selectable?

good to see more music players on the market, i wrote musicflow....

Looking good so far.
+1 for the album art and the graphics.
I have adfree running so can't see the advertising anyway, something you may want to think about because a lot of people have this program.
If I wanted adware i'd have a windows os

Any screens?

@cyberniko
Looks nice but after installation i started it and it gave me a FC on MCR 3.x ROM, didn't started any just launched app.

nice as i am

Do you have the android SDK and avaibility to see the trace of the app ?
My problem is that I plug this app to the music service. This music service has not the same name with htc (because of sense) than in basic android device.
I look the name of the device to choose.
If the name, or the service has changed because of a custom rom, it can be a problem.
Do you have HTC sense on this ROM ?
I will try to look deeper into the device to make this choice... I let you know if I find something.

Can you describe debug proces , never done that before.
I can give you the output of it, maybe it helps.

Tested on hero, works great. It's a really good idea - I'm surprised nobody else thought of it first.
Also, I know this is the wrong part of the forum, but I figured since the dev checks this anyway, and to save time for myself, I'd post here. Tried on N1, force closes when I try pressing buttons.

can't test it for now
but does this app works if i uninstalled the default HTC music player??

@cyberniko,
Don't know what happend but i'm unable to reproduce that FC that i had.
I'll keep you posted.

great job!

Nice. I like this better than the stock

so i test it yesterday, and don't seems to work fo me (i recall that i uninstalled htcMusic.apk )
the app is running but saying that playlist is empty with no way to edit it (or i'm totally blind )

Hello!
I want to know if somebody know good program to download the good image for the singer/album for the music´s i have im my HD2.

}
its good if it always like this:
and i want (if its possible) program put automaticaly good image in music i have, without image.
thanks in advance

Dont know about doing it automatically but if you download the cover art off the internet and then rename and/or edit it to "folder.jpg", then place this image in the album's folder then the sense music player will use it as the cover art for all tracks in that album folder.

there is an update album art in the menu when looking at the music player. tends to work best when connected to wi-fi. has worked for all my albums.
Mike

my problem its i have lot of music alone, its not from album, its just one music from singer, and already try update in menu , even with wi-fi and dont work good!

it does give you the option to update song now playing - have you tried that?

U can do it on pc or instal this app on hd2 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687830&highlight=Mp3+tag+editor

Use Media Monkey 3 or Tidy Songs. There not free, but they have a trial for both products. I used Media Monkey cuz its cheap, $15 for Gold. You load your file of MP3, to the right click search Web for Info.. sure enough it finds all the albums to that artist. select right one if the label mp3 was unclear. now it fills in all the details and replaces mistyped. Sometime you even get a choice what quality art work you want to attach inside the tag. I had completed 1,500 songs. It cleaned up my album so an artist wasn't misspelled and in 4 separate folders in my sense player.

I use Mp3 tag, you can set all the album art and embedd it into the mp3 file, you can do albums at a time, but it does take a while. Once youve done it though, you will never have the problem again

MP3 tag its good option, but give little work to do. but already start!
thanks ★
aoakes With Media Monkey 3 and Tidy Songs update the music i have, or just its possible download from there with good info?
tidy songs i already try one time, but in few songs put wrong image and info.
thanks for help too!
negawolf mp3 tag editor surch automatically info and images for music?
THANKS to everybody!!!
if somebody have more solutions i apreciate!

We definetly need more stuff like that!!

Just got it. Brilliant app all it needs now is to support actual live streams
somehow xD
Really is amazing tho.

I'm sick and tired of it not only pausing YouTube videos without the ability to resume after locking the screen (iPhone can do this), but also dumping the buffer and rebuffering when you unlock.
Even being able to do something while the live-streaming audio plays in the background or the buffer fills would be greatly appreciated.

Dude I'm sure it'll get a few updates and stuff no need for the complaining.
And iPhone can't do this mate.

Wow. You totally misinterpreted me. I was complaining about something that Android can't do in hopes that someone would do something like it with something like this. iPhone CAN play a YouTube video while locked. It automatically pauses, but bringing up the lockscreen controls will let you resume and hear the audio. It saves battery life and lets you listen with the phone in your pocket without risk of accidental interaction. iPhone will also let you play and hear YouTube while doing other things by using AVRCP Bluetooth or multi-tasking playback controls. I never for a second thought that it actually lets you view the video when you do other things: It only lets you resume playback and HEAR it.

they already make this...
a quick market search from "youtube stream" it plays the audio in the background, and there have been apps before this that do the same thing.

Thanks. I wish Google would see the need. They flush the buffer when YouTube locks so that even unlocking it requires me to buffer again to resume playback! It's "finish now or suffer" with the stock app.

Cyanogenmod 9 Music Player Available Now

SOURCE : Kickedface
Fans of custom ROMs may already know that there’s a rewritten version of the standard Android music app coming to CyanogenMod 9. Well, the wait’s over, and you can download an alpha version of “Apollo” now.
Click here for the APK file – you don’t even have to be rooted, just install it via the standard non-Market method. Unfortunately, you still need an ICS device to use it. Source : Android Central

Apollo takes quite a lot of inspiration from Google Music, though there’s currently no way to actually access your music stored in the cloud. The interface has a lot in common with Google’s own player, though the color scheme is an off white.
Theme support is planned for the project. At present there’s not a whole lot that Apollo can do that even older versions of the default music player can’t, with the notable exception of a built-in equalizer.
One of the more glaring omissions is the lack of a landscape mode, a big disappointment to anyone who listens to music while their phone is in a car dock. Even so, it should be a solid alternative when it’s finished – lockscreen controls are already enabled, I will suggest you to give it a try if you’re looking for something a little different in your music player.

I hope that still the issues get sorted out soon.
There are already many things that need to change and the more I use it, the longer the list becomes.

Nice alternative to the stock music player, it's "recently added" tracks view is a nice feature when you're adding tons of music a day ^_^
I can't get it to work via AVRCP and the bluetooth in my car, but that may be a ROM limitation because no other app will work either >_>

Why don't they support Android 2.3 like Google play music :/

My bad just saw it on the site after I posted this comment already.
Really excited about the app finally some real super app for music: D

I used it for a couple months before it was rebranded Apollo, the dev never updated it, and it was buggy as hell. Now they took away the holo blue theme? Probably so they can release it as a paid add-on. FAIL. There are half a dozen better music apps than this.

Thanks for your sharing..

Use Music lockscreen controls with more players than just Samsung Music?

Is it possible? I am annoyed that it only works with Samsung Music and all the rest have to rely on the typical ugly notification controls. I was hoping something like this would be possible: https:// www.xda-developers.com/how-to-add-third-party-music-apps-emui-lock-screen/

Musixmatch I believe has this feature and player pro does I'm not sure if any others do though but will keep an eye out

First we need to find if it's an API that allows for full screen widgets on the UI or is it's an app specific thing or both. If you replace S7's Samsung Music with S8's you get the updated look (that also is not matching the aspect ratio of S7 so it's a bad idea to do) which makes me think it might be a combination of things, like there is an API that allows such thing and the app is responsible what will be projected in the end.

Nice! My only issues with both of them is that their implementations is fiddly and they don't support gapless playback. Music Pro says it does but it fails to in a terrible way.

You can check out BlackPlayer Pro on PlayStore. I've been using it on every phone that I had, isntead of the stock music player. There is a free version and there is a pro version which costs about 2 dollars I think, totally worth it though. It also has built in tag editor, option to download album art etc. And you can edit the way it shows the notification on the lock screen (only you'll have to buy the pro version for that). Would not change it for a thing!
