[APP] LibriVox Downloader - Android Apps and Games

I am making, as a Christmas present for my wife (she doesn't read these forums), an easy-to-use LibriVox audio book downloader for her new Kindle Fire. An early version is here.
Still to be implemented: searching, format selection (currently set to download ogg files; these work great with the Mortplayer Audio Book player).
Hope this forum is appropriate. There is not much about audio books here.
The download is about 2mb, because it includes the LibriVox catalog (as of yesterday). It will also auto-update the catalog every week or so.
The downloaded audio books go into a Librivox directory on your external storage. I may make that customizable in the future. There is also a playlist created for each book in its directory.

The app is basically finished for my purposes, though I may still add a few more features.
Since the previous post, I added:
- search
- select mp3 vs. ogg
- cover art
and probably a bunch of other stuff.

Seems promising... downloading right now.
Can u add changelog with date and version please?
EDIT
Tested app. Very nice so far... It would be great if you could add an option in the option menu to browse books only in a certain language.
Send from my Samsung GT-5800.

A beta is in the Market now.

A full release is in the Market.

I gotta say, I have tried MANY music players, and this is one great app so far. The interface is simple and clean, and very well polished. People should give this a shot - i think you will be impressed as I was!
I have never been one for wanting to read lyrics, but this app does it really well and is sort of fun to watch. Its very accurate in the scrolling timing and seems to find about 60% or so of my musics lyrics - i also have a lot of poorly named music on my library so I'm sure it would be even better with some better tagged music. The full screen landscape mode is pretty sweet as well, but having a way to control playback would be nice - maybe a pop-up control on screen touch that auto-hides.
The visualizer is great - I especially like that the single line of lyrics under it! Quite unique and well done. Maybe a full screen visualizer?
There are two things I think need some development... The translation/English language is missing form some of the menus. For example, when i click the skin button, the names of the skins are not in English even though I have English selected as my language. Also, when you first start up the app, the music scan dialog is not translated either. Secondly, having music control on my home screen is a must for me, so until that is implemented I would have trouble using this as my music player.
Awesome work though, can't wait to see more!
If this ttpot is the same as on symbian i would love this app

Last.FM support?
Sorting order of the songs
This is awesome application! However still lacks a little bit of functionality.
A little feedback for the developer:
The songs in Albums and in Folders are sorted in a wrong way.
They are sorted by Title of the song, which never is good idea as titles are usually random - nobody starts album with a song beginning with A and ends with song beginning with Z.
The two more obvious choices are:
- sort by filename
- sort by 'Track" keyword from id3 tag
I have an album Metallica "... And Justice for All" with all songs filenames beginning with two digit number. eg. 01. Hit the lights.mp3. On top of that all songs have id3 tags with keyword: Track set (eg. Track:1). But the album displays itself in alphabetic order which is not useful.
I have album Metallica "Death Magnetic", which have 'Track' keyword in different format, eg. Track:1/10 instead of Track:1
These are not sorted as well.
So it would very nice if you could implement default sorting by "Track tag", and give the option to set sorting by "File name" and "Title" (maybe also by "Duration", "Album", "Artist", "Genre", but these are not necessary).
Thanks,
JL
Best way to give Feedback to developer
Which is the better way to send feedback to the developer (about beta 2.0 version)?
Here or through feedback mechanism in the app?
I am sending here as this is easier to write and respond, and keep track, wait for answers etc. The in-app feedback mechanism gives no way to specify your email (only phone an QQ), and is hard to write full report there. On the webpage ttpod.com I have no idea what is going on as I do not know the chinese.
Maybe developer or some of you guys can lead me in good direction.
Cheers,
JL
Wow! I used to think I wanted a simple music app with basic controls, but this is awesome! You can seek in the track by scrolling the lyrics! I am very very impressed.
The controls are powerful and still very intuitive. And I LOVE how it doesn't insist on sorting my music according to album names. That always bothered me about the stock Android one.
would be better but still does not find my playlists I already have created
Cannot find in this version how to only include set folders and not scan all mediafiles
Put in a widget (4x2 with album art)
If I connect my headset make it auto-continue playback
And Ill be on it daily !
Love it would like to have lockscreen support under CM7

Perfect
Bring 2 Skin to change your manual into English is to be loaded is in Japanese but it is understood to be seeking to Deliz the screen shows the graphic of the music, the top of the issues and point you just need a nice equalizer translate Spanish language, and a widget to the screen that this version does not bring and the best player I've seen
Some texts is still cn.

I really like it! Iknow it's just beta version, but i would approciate english localization. It's much more simplier like default player and also the vizaulization is really great! GOOD STUFF at all.
CM7, Nightly 05062011
Doesn't recognize "/mnt/emmc" (external SD-Card)
But all in all it looks great.
Maybe you could add Last.FM support. (Or I just didn't find it)
As soon as these two things are working, I'll completely switch to it. =)
Looks good, make it all English and add the 4x2 widget with album art, make the widget not suck, and I'm in! I don't know why it seems so hard for somebody to make a good music player, but this looks like one.
Works pretty well, alot like the java version, like the visualizer. Doesn't find always find the right lyrics, but might just be the music I listen to. Also some of the text is still in japanese(well not english so it could be anything really)

Quick heads up about this update.
FINALLY my SGSII can read genre tags properly (previously EVERY player took its tag reading from the systems way of reading tags, resulting in genre tags being messed up which really bugs me as I predominantly like to listen by shuffling a genre! FLAC tags also now work properly).
More details here: AndroidNZ: PowerAMP 2.0 Beta Quietly Released
Made a video for curious people who haven't yet got PowerAMP:

Miss the 4x1 widget way too much. Cant use this. :/

Will existing owners have to re-buy?
In previous version, I can play an album/artist/playlist directly. Now I have to queue it first. Is there a simple way?
beautiful application, but there are still missing several features including widgets
It's a beta folks, other widget sizes are coming, no worries there.
@Blakamin: It will recognise your existing license.
I like the new formats in portrait but I think landscape was a better fit in the previous release format.

I'm not entirely convinced I like the new landscape either, we should really give that feedback to the dev since this is a beta!

About 2 times out of 3, when I disconnect my bluetooth device, PowerAmp will pause briefly, then start playing the music again from the phone speaker. I've unticked the "resume when headset reconnected" option which seemed to help but not completely fix the issue.
Any ideas?
if anyone's worried about widgets, use a resizer. I use go launcher ex and resized it to where only the player controls are shown.
Thanks. I had no clue this beta was out. Big fan of poweramp...use it daily. This looks good.

[APP][2.3+] Music Player (Remix)

I'd like to introduce everyone to a unique music player app that I've developed called "Music Player (Remix)". I started developing it 4 years ago as a homebrew app on the old webOS platform. It quickly became the most downloaded homebrew webOS app. I eventually released it into the official webOS app catalog and it became the #4 top-rated app (#1 in the Music category).
As a user, I moved to Android over 2 year ago and of all the apps I missed on webOS, the biggest one was my own being someone who loves listening to music all the time (at work, in the car, at home, doing the lawn, etc). I tried out all the other music apps, and they all had their positive points, but none of them had the unique features I put into Music Player (Remix). So eventually I decided to build my own app porting over a lot of the features in the webOS version that users on that platform loved, but added a lot of new features and changed the overall user interface. Now everything is just a swipe away, even when you're not in the app! (read below for details).
When developing the app, I really wanted to think outside-of-the-box when coming up with the best way to do things in a music app. As a result, Music Player (Remix) has a lot of features and design concepts that you won't find in any other music app, but when you experience them you'll wonder how you ever lived without them.
Here's a list of some of the biggest features:
- Large, finger-friendly controls on phones and tablets. Tap the top of the album art to pause/play. Tap the bottom-right to go to the next track. Tap the bottom-left to go to the previous track.
- While using other apps, swipe from the bottom of the screen to reveal the "mini-player" allowing you to control your music & access your now playing list, playlists, and faves without leaving other apps.
- Notification when new songs are added to your device (can be disabled).
- Intuitive swipe navigation and gestures:
* Swipe from bottom for the Now Playing list and music controls.
* Swipe from right for your music library, search, help, preferences, and aesthetic customizations.
* Swipe from left for faves, playlists, and autolists.
* Swipe right on a song in the Now Playing list to remove it. Swipe left to queue it to play next. (customizable)
* Swipe right on a song in a playlist to remove it. Swipe left to move it to the top of the list. (customizable)
- Auto-generated playlists (called "Autolists") available based upon your listening habits.
- 5 customizable quick shortcuts at the top of the Now Playing screen. Assign various functions to each one included Add to Playlist, Save bookmark, Lyrics, Share song, View YouTube video, and much more.
- All screens are optimized for portrait & landscape orientations.
- The Now Playing screen has been optimized for 7" & 8.9"/10" tablets. (Eventually will be modifying all the app's screens)
- All library browsing screens have several display & sorting options.
- Save bookmarks in a song & visual markers will appear on the scrubber bar. Tap prev/next to jump between bookmarks or use the "View Bookmarks" option to select a bookmark.
- Any time you play a song, a bookmark is automatically saved when you leave the song. To go back to the previous play position in a song, use the "View Bookmarks" option.
- Download album art for any song or album. Select from several choices with different image resolutions. Album art is embedded directly in the music files.
- Download lyrics and embed directly in the music file (or optionally save in an external text file). Pinch/zoom the lyrics to change the font size. Karaoke feature for recording yourself singing along.
- Advanced playlist management including drag/drop song re-ordering & multi-add mode. While in multi-add mode, go to any screen within the app and tap songs/albums/artists/genres/composers to quickly add them to the playlist.
- In-app wikipedia browser available for albums, artists, genres, and composers.
- Jellybean expandable notifications with super-sized album art and music controls.
- 5 band equalizer with built-in presets, bass boost, and virtualizer.
- Last.fm scrobbling with caching during internet outages (no external app required to be installed for scrobbling).
- Stylish 4x1 & 4x2 home screen widgets with customizable color & opacity.
- Various lock screen control options including basic controls (ICS+), advanced mini-player controls (ICS+), or the 4x2 widget (Android 4.2+).
- Fine-tuned controls for quickly skipping backward & forward by 5/30/60 seconds. Long-tap the pause/play tap area to reveal (or hide) the controls.
- And much, much more!!!
There is a free, fully-functional 14-day trial available in the Google Play Store. The full version (priced at $4.99) is also available in the Google Play Store and Amazon App Store. Please check it out and let me know what you think.

He says it's in the google play store.
The forum rules at the top of this forum section indicate your can't post links to your app if it's commercial. So I didn't post the link. The trial version is free, so am I allowed to post a link to that?
But anyway, you can find it in the Google Play Store or Amazon App Store by searching for "Music Player (Remix)".

Version 1.4.3 has been released to the Google Play Store and Amazon App Store. It has a new autolist called "Breath of Fresh Air" that allows you to play a random mix of songs you haven't played recently. It also contains a bunch of bug fixes.
The 14-day free, fully-functional trial version is being reset for all users!
Here's the complete changelog:
- (New Feature) Add 'Breath of Fresh Air' autolist (random mix of songs not recently played).
- (Bug Fix) NuPlay new song notifications sometimes did not appear immediately on certain devices.
- (Bug Fix) If the 'Auto play when loading app' setting was selected (on the 'Miscellaneous' Preferences screen) and you switched orientations while the music was paused, the music would resume playing.
- (Bug Fix) The basic lockscreen controls would sometimes still appear even after disabling them or even killing the app.
- (Bug Fix) If you switched to a bookmark from the widget or notification controls and then brought up the mini-player, the song/album/artist info would be blank.
- (Bug Fix) Fixes for various causes of app crashes.
- (Bug Fix) Users in a restricted profile under Android 4.3+ may not have access to all apps (such as a web browser), so before launching an external app (for instance to view a web page), verify the user has access to that external resource. If not, display an error.

Immediate reaction... Its really good :thumbup: the options given are so much I need some days to fully check it out properly
Just one suggestion for now... I missed the play/pause and next/ previous song buttons. Then I found out it was hidden in the album art. A small downfall there.. And when I first opened the app... The music directly started blasting ( a heavy metal one ) and I freaked out. ( was alone in a dark room... Imagine my horror!! )

Yeah I plan on adding a welcome screen to introduce users to the user interface. But I figure most people like you figure out where the controls are.
Yeah the first time you load the app, it starts a "Shuffle All" list. It won't auto-play on subsequent loads, unless you turn the option on via the Preferences screen (tap the gear icon at the top of the right-side sliding panel).
I'd still prefer a seperate play/pause and prev/next buttons.

You have them, but they're incorporated on the album art for 2 reasons:
1) The controls are much larger (finger-friendly). It's so easy to use without even looking at the screen. Really nice in the car (when docked).
2) Removing the separate controls allows room for the customizable preset controls for one-touch access to your favorite functions (bookmarks, lyrics, album art downloading, youtube videos, album & artist search, etc.)
When designing this user interface I wanted to think outside of the box. Give it a try and I think you'll really like it once you use it awhile.
I guess it was in the opening post
Didn't read it well will see it through and nice thought :thumbup: :beer:

Have a bit of dilemma...
Hi, I'm using your app as of now (while typing this post) and it's pretty great, but..
But when I press the Next button on Album Art, sometimes the music forwards due to pressing the music time-line (or what you might call it) accidentally. Also true and vice-versa with the Previous button.
Any fix and/or suggestion pal?

Are you talking about the fine-tuned controls (5sec, 30sec, 60sec backward/forward)? If so, just long-tap the pause/play section of the album art to toggle those controls.
If you're talking about the scrubber bar, it shouldn't be anywhere near the album art...at least not close enough to affect the controls. If it is on your device, please post a screenshot (or send me one to hedami DOT support AT gmail DOT com).

[4.0+][APP]Jams Music Player is out! Brings GMusic support and other unique features!

Hey there!
I posted about my new (paid/trialware) music player way back in August and asked for beta testers here on XDA. The response was tremendous and I was able to rake up a few hundred testers within a couple of days. Thanks to their bug reports and feedback, I'm happy to say that Jams Music Player is now available on the Play Store!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jams.music.player
Here's a quick imgur album that shows a few prominent screens from the app:
http://imgur.com/a/Bgk0b#0
Aaaand here's the main feature list:
Supports all the formats supported by Android (mp3, FLAC, AAC, ogg, etc.)
Unofficial GMusic support (thanks Simon Weber!). All Access isn't available, I'm pretty sure the big record companies won't take it too well if I put it in. If you have your personal music collection uploaded onto Google though, this app can handle it
Limit your music library down to specific folders on your SD card (you can pick as many folders as you want).
Organize your entire music collection into smaller sub-libraries. (Take a look at the imgur screenshot(s) to get a gist of what I mean).
Individual equalizer settings for each song. Say you set Song A to Pop and Song B to Rock. When you play Song A, Jams will automatically switch the equalizer to Pop. If you play Song B, Jams will switch to Rock. You can also batch apply equalizer settings to multiple songs by artist, album and genre.
The homscreen widget displays your current queue so you can easily browse through it without opening the app.
A-B Repeat mode. You can repeat a specific range of a song from point A to point B.
Displays embedded lyrics. I don't think I'll be adding lyrics from the Internet after what Sony did last summer to another music player.
Sort by album artist! This is for those of you who have large compilation albums.
Full blown file manager with copy, paste, move and delete functions.
Blacklist tracks, artists, and albums. This allows you to exclude individual tracks from your library without actually deleting the files.
Smart playlists (Top 25 Played Tracks, Top Rated, Recently Added, and Recently Played).
ID3 tag editor.
Crossfade.
Gapless playback.
Automatically fetches album art from the internet.
Customize the app with 4 different application themes and 9 different player colors.
Enqueue support with reorder, swipe to remove from queue, the basic stuff.
Scrobbling support.
Coming soon:
Tablet layout (ETA about a week).
Import/Export M3U playlists.
Any other feature requests you guys may have.
The app comes with a 7 day full-featured trial. After that, you'll be asked to upgrade to the full version for $2.99. I'm aiming to keep it priced that way so that it's cheaper than PowerAMP and other top players, while offering the same (or even more) number of features.
Got questions? Suggestions? Comments? Let me know below! Or you can email me at [email protected].
Looks good. I own PowerAmp but rarely use it, and I have stuff on Google Music, but despise the app. It's too busy. I'll give this a shot.
Cool, let me know how it goes! I'm open to suggestions, so feel free to throw whatever you've got, at me.
Holly crap, this is amazing!
Sadly it crashed as soon as i tried to connect my Google Music account, and also swipe gestures don't seem to work on Now Playing screen :\
Other than that, my favourite music app, will be glad to buy!
Using Moto G 8GB with Android 4.3. Using Xthemer via Xposed Modules and Meenova for external SD card reading (not sure if these facts can influence app behaviour)

Could you send me a crash report? That'll help me fix the issue and I'll have an update rolled out by tonight. Glad you like it! Also, make sure that the queue/playlist you picked has more than one song. If it doesn't, then the swiping controls won't work.

Just cleaned App data and started over. And it works just fine
About the swiping controls, yeah, i was listening to one unique song, so it was not supposed to work
Just noticed that the notification on the notification drawer is cutted when it's size is only 1 row (when it's not the top notification). Luckily it always manages to be the top notification, so i suppose this was intended
Suggestion: add button to show a list with the next tracks in the queue (maybe replace the equalized button since it's not used that often?) List would appear as the menu on the main screen (in the left side) and maybe you could change track positions in the queue!

Ooohh shoot, I forgot to add a helper overlay about the queue part... Just rotate your device to landscape mode. This will take you to your current queue. Will add a helper overlay for this in tonight's update.
This app has virtually i would want in a Music Player.
I'll keep on testing it through the 7day trial, but i'm probably going to buy it anyway.
I just hope this gets the deserved attention.

Awesome. Really glad you like it. You can help the app get its deserved attention by leaving a rating on the Play Store. Thanks! Appreciate it.
Hey! I've been testing the app, and i get some FC's when changing track from time to time (doesnt seems a very consistent error to be.

Hi there! Which version of the app are you using? The current one is v1.4.2, but I'm on track to releasing v2.0 tonight with support for tablets and batch playlist creation. When the app crashes, you should get a message saying something like "Unfortunately, Jams has stopped working". There should be two buttons, "Report" and "Close". Tap on "Report" and that will send me the crash log. Thanks for your interest!
Version 1.4.2
Just sent the report!
Either way, buying the app today 4 sure!

Great, thanks for the report! I'm looking into it.
Awesome app, more languages would be nice. Also editing Play Music tags. Sent you an email referring German translation.

Hey there!
I posted about my new (paid/trialware) music player way back in August and asked for beta testers here on XDA. The response was tremendous and I was able to rake up a few hundred testers within a couple of days. Thanks to their bug reports and feedback, I'm happy to say that Jams Music Player is now available on the Play Store!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jams.music.player
Here's a quick imgur album that shows a few prominent screens from the app:
http://imgur.com/a/Bgk0b#0
Aaaand here's the main feature list:
Supports all the formats supported by Android (mp3, FLAC, AAC, ogg, etc.)
Unofficial GMusic support (thanks Simon Weber!). All Access isn't available, I'm pretty sure the big record companies won't take it too well if I put it in. If you have your personal music collection uploaded onto Google though, this app can handle it
Limit your music library down to specific folders on your SD card (you can pick as many folders as you want).
Organize your entire music collection into smaller sub-libraries. (Take a look at the imgur screenshot(s) to get a gist of what I mean).
Individual equalizer settings for each song. Say you set Song A to Pop and Song B to Rock. When you play Song A, Jams will automatically switch the equalizer to Pop. If you play Song B, Jams will switch to Rock. You can also batch apply equalizer settings to multiple songs by artist, album and genre.
The homscreen widget displays your current queue so you can easily browse through it without opening the app.
A-B Repeat mode. You can repeat a specific range of a song from point A to point B.
Displays embedded lyrics. I don't think I'll be adding lyrics from the Internet after what Sony did last summer to another music player.
Sort by album artist! This is for those of you who have large compilation albums.
Full blown file manager with copy, paste, move and delete functions.
Blacklist tracks, artists, and albums. This allows you to exclude individual tracks from your library without actually deleting the files.
Smart playlists (Top 25 Played Tracks, Top Rated, Recently Added, and Recently Played).
ID3 tag editor.
Crossfade.
Gapless playback.
Automatically fetches album art from the internet.
Customize the app with 4 different application themes and 9 different player colors.

That's definitely a bug. I think you sent me a crash report right? I looked into the issue and fixed it already. You'll get the update tonight with other new features like widget customization, batch playlist creation and play next. Thanks for your interest and let me know if you run into any more issues/have any more suggestions!

Yea it was me will update asap :good::good::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
This app looks promising but there are some issues that prevent me from using it as my primary media player.
It does not recognize the tags on any of the MP3 files in my library, my AAC and FLAC files are recognized properly, but not my MP3s.
Scrolling is slow and jittery because it appears to be reloading the album art each time you scroll by each album or artist. Caching should fix this.
There is no ReplayGain support. Not a bug per-say, but I can't go without it.
Also, it would nice if there was a third album art display mode where it displayed the album art as large as possible without any cropping but that is hardly necessary.
Do as you wish with these suggestions. There is some very good work so far and I am glad there is proper album artist support. I'm interested to see how this app progresses.
Seconding the laggy scrolling but in sure you're already aware of it. Caching like like the best fix. Possibly a low memory view with no album/artist art also? It's up to you. So far that's my only initial big report.
Looks awesome mate!

[APP] Stealth Audio Player - play audio through earpiece

Usually, there are two ways of playing music on Android device. You can either use your headphones or a speaker. But how about a third option?
The purpose of this app is to enable the users to listen to something when they do not have earphones and they don't want to use speakers.
When you are with someone and you must listen to an audio file e.g. a voice message, etc. you can now listen to it using your device's earpiece (from which you hear phone calls) using this app.
This is useful not just for usual audio files, but also for podcasts, and comes in handy for when you forgot to bring headphones and do not want to disturb those around you. Stealth Audio Player enables you to make good use of the tiny speaker to listen things which should not play from the main big speaker.
Download from Play Store:​https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appsbyusman.stealthaudioplayer
FEATURES:​
Plays any kind of Audio from the earpiece of your device.
Plays Videos on screen and their audio is routed through the earpiece.
Folders Browser lets you locate specific files.
Ignore Folders option under Settings makes a Blacklist of folders to ignore.
Basic and functional Audio and Video players.
Dedicated lists for Audio and Video files.
Option to remove ads in Settings screen.
UPDATES:​v17:
THIS IS A MAJOR UPDATE:
*** VIDEO PLAYER ***
Now you can play VIDEO files using this player - the audio will come through the earpiece!
v16:
Introduced a PRO UPGRADE to remove ads
Introduced a Settings screen where you can add some folders to the ignore list.
v14 (Major Update):
Folders support: Now browse any folder on your device to look for and play specific files.
New Navigation Drawer: All the sections of the app in one place.
Partial ***VIDEO*** support: Open a video file from a folder and the app will play its audio (more support will be coming later).
Previous (v13):
All crashing issues fixed!
Performance improvements.
Player becomes untouchable when the phone is near the ear (to avoid accidental touches).
WhatsApp audio messages will not appear in this app.
"Unable to read file" issue fixed.
Excellent concept.
this app is very helpful when i want to listen something without disturbing others and my earphones are out of my reach.
Thanks man! I really appreciate your feedback
Please support more audio code, it support only mp3, i use m4a itunes
Ok I'll see if it works. Currently it supports mp3, ogg, and wav files.

Simplicity and ease of use are outstanding. Good work!

Just what i thought to ask you as I made a jump here again. Now that's everything i could desire. Thanks again
I'm glad that you like it
A couple of ideas that i could suggest to you to make this lil' app just perfect in every aspect, is first - adding an option to search music; second - add a side slider to reach alphabetically a certain letter.
I'd like to premise that these ideas could be useful just in my opinion, where i don't wanna use this as daily player obviously, but with more than 50 songs the research become huge and hard... What do you think?
A+ for the idea Nice, light-weight application. May it be useful to create the sticky notification with the control buttons and the name of the track? It will be shown when the app is running, and the song is playing. Several times, I have minimized the application instead of closing it or at least stopping the playback, put the phone in the pocket, and the music continued playing

There is already an option to search music. You can search by Title, Artist, or file name.
About the slider: That would be very useful. I also want to implement it, and I will probably bring an update about it but right now I am working on making the app crash free for all devices.

The nature of this app is that we only hear the audio while the device is attached to the ear. In this position I don't think there is a need to bring features of full fledged music players. The users will stop hearing anything as soon as they are able to interact with their devices so there will be no use of bringing the notification controls.
This app is not a music player, it's more of a utility for hearing the audio in a different way.
However, I do have plans to better manage the minimizing of the application. This will be addressed in near updates.

You're right, didn't noticed the lens icon in the upper right space. Maybe because i didn't reboot the phone after the last update..? Anyway I've seen that the list of available mp3s have to be reloaded by filename every time that the app is launched. You think that a preload of the list like a normal music player could ever be made someday?
Thanks to you for the creation of this app.
I have been trying to preload the data with different approaches. But it's getting a little tricky. I am gonna try something new tomorrow, which will hopefully make it A LOT more stable, and I am positive that the files will show up faster and with more stability than all previous version.
An update was also published today (evening) which addressed several crashing errors which the complainants are reporting to have been rectified now.
