[APP] 3 (Cubed) Music Player. Amazing UI and Amazing Widgets!!

I did not create this application so please do not ask me to add or fix anything
I haven't seen anything about this music player and I found it by accident when I was browsing through the market. I have always hated the ugly Android Music player UI and I've always wanted a UI much like this one. Anyway, check it out!
I have attached some screenshots but there are some full videos on youtube.
Use this QR code to check it out.

I used ADW to make the 4x4 widget into a 4x2 widget and it looks awesome. Here's my current widget first then the rest are underneath it.
These are the different view modes you can use. I personally love the flip one called "Morph Flow" in the app.

This is my favorite music player! Downloads album art automatically, great way to traverse your music, Lets you Queue songs to Playlist and then save playlists. Just excellent.
All I'm waiting for is twitter/fbook #nowplaying integration.

Does cube player still have that ****ty bug where it can't list Artistes with unicode characters? Like Japanese and other East Asian characters?
The concept was great but the cube went on a spinning loop whenever I tried scrolling to a singer with unicode characters. Think it had something to do with the alphabet recognition.

I have no idea, have you emailed the developer? Every time I find a bug with an app I email the developer and almost every time they reply with something useful.

i loved this app while i had it installed, unfortunately most of my music listening is done with the phone in my pocket on random and i use the outside buttons to skip songs, which this app doesn't support, so i quit using it. stand up player though for sure, the automatic artwork download is really awesome.

Hey the headset buttons work for me. You may want to try again lol.

I'm talking about using the volume buttons to skip tracks, a feature implemented in the stock player on cyanogen roms.

Oh, I don't use a wired headset unless I'm at work sitting at my desk. I normally use my Bluetooth headset that has skip forward and back, volume and play/pause.

This is one of my favor music player.
It still rock, wish for more function coming, but it seems the developer stop on it at the moment, it has been a long time no updates on it.

this dev has been around here for ages- he originally made rockon back in the day and from there made this one- this is also my fave music app- and the lockscreen music controls for CM6 also work for this app!!
i show it to all my mates to freak them out as to what android can do

This is my only music player at the moment~

How long does it take for the player to load the album arts that are imbedded in idtag?
It never loads the album art on the first start for me, and sometimes only some albums are shown.
The stock music player loads all album arts straightaway but not cubed player..

If not appear, then just press and hold the blank cover, it will appear your original use for choose, or you can choose new one from internet.

I have a big problem with it.
Yesterday, it showed me wrong album arts for most of the albums. Today, it doesnt show the album covers, even tho I have them embedded in the ID3 tags of the mp3s. At the same time, all other players show the album arts properly.
I have also placed AlbumArt.jpg in each of the folders, so I removed them to see if there is some kinda conflict between the jpg in the folder and the ID3 embedded art, but its the same.
I tired uninstalling n reinstalling. I also searched for some kinda data/database on the SD card related to the cubed player, but cudnt find.
Plz help me.

Delete /sdcard/albumthumb/rockOnNg
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Ohh I see...its actually the RockOn - New Generation, since its created by the same guy. This makes me realize that the album arts completely disappeared after I deleted the RockOnNG folder just an hour ago, since I thot it was for the RockOn app that I'd installed recently, since before I deleted the folder, wrong album arts were assigned to wrong albums !
That is, the RockOnNG folder had already been deleted by me, unknowingly. What the hell is the solution now?
P.S. uninstalling and reinstalling n then reassigning is not working.

I solved the issue by deleting the whole albumthumbs folder itself and then uninstalling, reinstalling and reassigning. Now, all the embedded art is perfectly displayed, only the AlbumArt.jpg doesnt work, which isnt a prob as I can embed the art in those albums.

You guys should try PowerAmp.
Its the first time I felt a music player took a huge step and included most/all wanted features.
The EQ/swiping/widget/folder picking etc are fantastic.

I can´t find sleeping in this music player

Greetings Sir,

New Update as we promised but sooner that ever Now you will not redirected to any browser. The Media player will start thrue the app.

Nice functionality already. I like where the development is headed. It would be nice if the reminder that the listen function is for sampling only came on once when you loaded the app instead of every song but I understand the necessity. Perhaps a long press on the Song Title in the app should be an Amazon link to purchase the song. Also it would be nice if the chart info included last week's position, the number of weeks on the chart and how many weeks the number one song has been at number one. I am a chart fanatic so this app is right up my street. I might also hyper-link the artist name to the wiki page for the artist. Keep up the good work. I look forward to where the development of this app is headed.

Hi. I use the current stable Rocket player release... its good.
Great work.... :thumbup:
Can you make the Play, FF and Reverse buttons flatter and more Holo-esque?
And a bit smaller too?

i LOVE that it's themeable!! this player rocks.

Better than the 1.x series!
Cool, and I like the Chrome theme. One issue however, which was in the 1.7.2 release also. If I give a track a rating, like five stars, it throws it to the bottom of the track list. The only way I've succeeded in correcting this issue is to unrate the track, then I have to rename the folder and rescan my library.
In all other aspects, it's my favorite player on android.
Thanks,
David
:good:

Great update!
I would like to request a new feature. In my iTunes library I have about 6,000 songs in 143 playlists and I use playlist folders to keep track of them all.
When I sync my playlists the folder its self syncs as a whole new playlist with all of the songs from the other playlists in it instead of just being a folder for the other playlists.
This makes it much harder for when I want to find a certain playlist because I have to scroll through a huge list of them instead of selecting from a few folders.
tl;dr add playlist folder support please

App Crash
Hello everyone,
My app crashes randomly... I had this problem with previous version too. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S3.
When i listen music, sometimes it stops for no reason (it can happens even if i don't touch my phone), then the app seems to close and open again with the song i've listen sometimes ago as currently playing song.
Am i the only one? Any idea where my problem can came from ?
Thanks

Olivier

Hi Olivier,
I think I just emailed you about this issue. Unless this is a different Olivier with an S3 and the same issue.
-----
For anyone else seeing this issue in the future, the best way for me to figure out the issue is to send in a log file (Help->Support with Log) with a note of the issue right after this happens. If you keep using Rocket Player, I won't be able to tell what happened.

two questions
two questions:
1. in folders the songs are listed in alphabetical order. they should be listed in TRACK order. how can i change this?
2. when are you giving away more unlock codes?

Hi there.
It would be nice to see cue sheets support in future releases.
I have digitally backed up all my cd's into flac image + cue sheets and would like to be able to play it on my tablet for home listening.

1.) Hmm. I don't think we can say they should be in track order. What if you have two albums in the same folder? Wouldn't it be weird to have the songs go 1-1-2-2-3-3, etc? If you want the songs in track order, you could use search or the album view.
2.) Keep an eye on our Twitter, Google+ and Facebook pages for more unlock codes.

Play Music Artist Pictures

Is there any way to add artist pictures to artists without one? The songs downloaded from the store has them, but the songs added from a computer doesn't. Are there any news regarding artist pictures and user customization?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

You just need to make sure your music is properly tagged. There are many media tagging applications that will let you add pictures, lyrics and other info. I run Linux, so I don't know how useful any specific application advice will be, but if you google music tagging you should find tons of applications (many free).
As for the source of the pictures, google image search for album art, or check graphics heavy shopping sites like amazon.

You obviously don't know what I'm talking about. Artist pictures and album covers are different. Artist pictures are solely on Google Play Music app. What I'm asking is if there a way to add or edit that.

It took me about ten seconds on Google to find this Is it or will it be possible to edit the ARTIST IMAGES show in Google Play Music so I would suggest you start there, have a read, a nose and then ask Google themselves as this is 100% down to them to resolve.

This is a specific problem to Google Music, it automatically tags the track with an artist (often wrong) but won't do this if you upload your own music.

you're "half-correct". the songs that you upload the your computer that google play music DOES NOT MATCH will not have artist pictures.
but the ones that does match will have artist pictures.

i've been using google play music for a long time and haven't seen it "automatically tags the track with an artist". if the file does not have artist information, it will be leave blank or unknown artist, it never automatically tags the song (artist, title,album), but it does (sometimes) add an album cover to the song if the song does not already have album art though.

had this issue too. wish they would give better support for it

Since this is now that top hit on Google, the answer to this year old question seems to still be "you can't" :crying:

The original thread that the above is a "duplicate" of seems to have been deleted, so it just re-directs back to the "duplicate."

I may have found it
I know this is an old thread but I found a solution... Sorta. If you go into the apps cache you can find the images. I'll give a rundown on how to do this below.
Go to root/data/data/com.google.android.music/files/artwork2
Copy these images to a non root location to be able to view them
Find which one you want to replace
Find an image to replace it with with the correct dimensions
Copy new image to first folder
Now when you go to google music you'll see the new image... Until you click on it.
Anyone know of any solution. I'm going to keep looking.

Complaining about too much updates ?
I care about what I publish and want it to be perfect.
Some things seem to be good at the start but need tweaking later to fit the needs of everyone.
beat supports 2800+ devices, is available in all countries, is free and you can switch off the ads (the switch is not hidden somewhere).
With 2000-3000 downloads a day new bugs, feedback and suggestions come up everyday and I want to make everyone happy.
So please think twice before you complain about too much updates, instead tell me what I should update next

Hi there,
Nice music player you've made there =] The UI is clean and easy to use, gestures are handy, action bar is handy, and nice floating music controls for multi-tasking.
I do get FC when I add a folder to shortcut and go to the main menu to scroll down. The FCs stop when I remove the shortcut so it doesn't FC until I scroll, long-pressing to remove shortcut is possible.
I also notice that if I have a folder with some loose files + folders with music in it, the adding to playlist feature only adds the loose files and not the folders, is there a setting to change that?
If I may, I have a request, since it is a folder player, is it possible to add "play folder (and subfolders)" without opening it or making it a playlist? Also, could you add screen rotation capability to use the player in landscape mode?
Thanks for your great work!

Force close when scrolling the navigation drawer is fixed in 1.24.
Let me think about for a while how I could add the subfolder-thing for playlists and playback in a proper way.
On my ToDo-list:
- landscape
- a proper tablet layout
- random playback from all songs
- subfolders
- a better floating icon

Newest apk attached to OP, I'll keep it up to date.

Hi!
Nice app, now, beat is my default player. EQ, and nice design.
On my SGS works perfectly, but I found a little bug.
In the status bar does not change the track names. All the time it indicates the title, which was played first.
Screenshots.

Really awesome music player! I have only one bug to report so far. For some odd reason, the album art of most all of my albums won't display. Screenshot below. Otherwise, great app!

Bugs added to OP, all should be fixed later today.

Do you have image files in the folders ?
Currently i check & display the cover like this:
Check if folder.jpg is there. If not take biggest image file.

1.27:
- fixed: song name in notification only updates when songs are switched from the notification (forgot to handle the 'cover swipe song change')
1.26:
- fixed: rare force close 1
- fixed: rare force close 2
- fixed: next song not playing, when switched from 'on device' to 'cloud' and back to 'on device'
- fixed: song name in notification only updates when songs are switched from the notification

SWEET! will try once i get my phone fixed! (i loaded wrong script and im fixing a brick XD), but one feature i would like to see implemented (if there is an api for it that is), is google play music intergration (if possible, and allowed by google of course ), then this would meet my needs for everyday use =), as the features are really unique for a music player =), keep up the good work and ill watch your progress =)

If that's ever possible, I'll implement it for sure.

Nice work so far
I really like the UI design!
Here are some bugs I found so far on my Galaxy Note 3:
The title of the song currently playing is not being displayed in the notification, just the progressbar, time and the app icon
The folder view laggs like hell on my device (power saving off)
Oh and it just crashed xD
Usecase: install fresh app; press ok when asked to choose a root path; go up to the sd end external sd cards;choose external and a music folder;play a song; play another song from within the same folder; open the left swipe menu and press recently played(doesn't work sometimes, also the scrollbar max value is too big, causing the list to jump around when scrolling on my big screen) when you are in recently played, press back and you have an empty view; press back again (you are on your homescreen) launch the app again and it crashes.
Hope I could help you, if you need further details, just let me know =)

would you consider adding podcast support... the design of your app looks amazing!

Nice app so far. Please keep upgrading.

Very intuitive design, might I request support for copy.com on your cloud options? Oh, and I had a crash as well.

Do you can Include translucent statusbar for kitkat like quickpic app did? Please.

Oh! I actually have the album art tagged in the file. Only some have the .jpg file in the folder. Does this music player not support embedded album art (either way, it's quite the awesome music player)?

+1
My mp3 files also embedded with lyric. Can you support this as well, please?
You app got a potential. Keep your good work!

VERY nice app!!!!
Looks awesome!!!
runs fine on my S4 (stock 4.2)
few suggestion:
1. sort order for folder/items
2. for streaming, a buffer choice.
Keep up the great work!!

I like the UI a lot. And floating control is pretty cool. Still not a replacement for poweramp but this can be my my google music replacement.
Thanks for the awesome app and hope you will bring even more features.
