Do you use your Android phone with GPS Navigation while playing music in your car?
When a new song starts, ever wonder what that song is, or who the artist is?
Now you have to grab the phone and look at it and swipe the notification bar, just to see what the song is or who the artist is?.
Do you use your Android phone to read email, or browse the web while listening to music in the background?
You know it's a hassle to stop what you're doing to see what the name is of the song that just came on. It's all too much trouble, so you don't bother, and you just keep wondering.
Tune Pop is the answer! Tune Pop will pop up the Song Title and Artist name, as a toast popup. Now when a song starts or resumes you will be alerted with the title and artist of the song.
Tune Pop on Appbrain
Tune Pop has been tested with the following Android Media player apps:
. ANDROID native media player
. HTC media player
. TuneWiki - Tune Pop Shoutcast!)
(TuneWiki coming with the next Android market version of TuneWiki)
TunePop has also been tested with the following Android Media Players:
. LASTFM (Internet Radio!)
. MERIDIAN
. GROOVESHARK
. DOUBLETWIST (SDCard music)
. MIXZING
. WINAMP
. CUBED (3)
. POWERAMP
. PLAYER PRO
MAKE SURE YOU ENABLE SCROBBLING ON THESE MEDIA APPS TO ENABLE TUNEPOP!
To enable TunePop, you just need to enable Scrobbling in the player settings. You don't need a Last FM account, or Last FM Scrobble Droid apps installed or running, just enable scrobbling in the media player. Tune Pop should work with most media players that support scrobbling.
Want more features? UPGRADE to Tune Pop PRO! Just $.99! Tune Pop Free Version has a handy link to PRO, which disappears after you purchase PRO.
Tune Pop PRO adds the following features:
TICKER - the song title and artist appear in the Notification Bar as a ticker instead of or in addition to the popup
SCREEN POSITION - Change the position of the popup from the center of the screen to the top or bottom
FONT SIZE - Change the size of the popup window and font
DISPLAY FREQUENCY - Have the POP or TICKER appear periodically, in increments of 15 seconds, in case you miss the POP at the beginning of the song
POP SHAPE - change from a rectangle to an oval if you're feeling whimsical
Just purchase and download Tune Pop Pro and it will automatically enable all advanced Tune Pop features.
Do you use a media player that Tune Pop doesn't support? We can try and make it work if it has an API, broadcast intents or supports scrobbling. Just let us know.
Here's Google NAV in landscape, with the POP Positioned at the bottom of the screen:
Here's the browser, with just the TICKER POP in the notification bar:
PURCHASING TUNE POP PRO ENABLES ALL ADVANCED FEATURES IN THE FREE VERSION OF TUNE POP AND REQUIRES THAT THE FREE VERSION OF TUNE POP BE INSTALLED ALSO!
A lot of work went into making TunePop very small and well behaved in terms of performance and battery usage. It has a VERY small memory footprint.
Tune Pop uses SCROBBLE and other Media Player intent broadcasts to initiate POP services, and uses POST_DELAYED intents to enable periodic POPS so nothing is constantly running in the background, and everything shuts down when no music is playing.
Some future enhancements we are planning:
. allowing suppression of the Tune Pop logo in the POP
. including album name in POP
. adding album art in place of the logo
. allow change of font and background colors
. ?
Feedback on additional enhancements is very welcome.
Tune Pop was developed by Happy Vampire Software. We are a father and son startup doing development in Android and WP7.
We have more apps in the pipeline. Tune Pop is our first published effort, but it was built with an architecture and app patterns that we will be using as the foundation for our other development efforts.
Please download the free app and if you like it and would like the additional features, please download Tune Pop Pro.
Please provide feedback and help us make Tune Pop better, more useful, and a successful app.

Version 1.0.1 published -
Fixes a Force Close problem using Last FM caused by Proguard obfuscation when app was published to market.

Version 1.0.3 published - added reminder messages for users to enable scrobbling in their media apps

version 1.05 published -
Set preferences Tune Pop and PopUp to "enabled" by default when doing new installs.

Got a suggestion. When your screen is off and you press the power button to wake up your device you get a pop up on the lock screen. I think that would be awesome.

Have plans on supporting playerpro? It supports scrobbling but didn't work for me.

Would love to see Pandora support. Not sure if it is possible, but if it is then I will be one more user using your app.

Thanks all for the feedback!
Redneck - We'll take a look at this. Good suggestion.
Emirhan87- We'll take a look at playerpro. Here's the deal with scrobbling. There are several different ways to scrobble on Android. If a media player does scrobble broadcasts in any one of several forms (ScrobbleDroid, Last FM, Simple-LastFM-Scrobble) then we intercept that broadcast and use it.
However, there is a way to use HTTP directly to scrobble, and some players use that. TuneWiki is an example. So, I was unable to use scrobbling to work with TuneWiki. We worked directly with TuneWiki to use an API they are coming out with in their new version, so when TuneWiki releases their new version TuneWiki will be supported.
Creator - here's my issue with Pandora. They don't scrobble. They have no documented API or broadcast intents. And, unlike LastFM or TuneWiki, they don't respond to my requests for support for integration.
So, bottom line, I suggest using LastFM instead of Pandora. After using both, I think LastFM is better anyway.
Again, thanks all for the feedback.

Any chance you can make this work the miui music player?

buuu buuu buuu
any way we can help you make this compatible with the samsung music player ?
if not, ill go back to winamp, but i kinda liked the lockscreen and notification drawer controls too XD
i guess there will be no hope, since it has no scrobble options (why the heck mod or use the stock player as base, and remove stuff, i will never understand... damm samsung)
ps: i bought the pro version xD

Any chance of compatibility with Spotify?
I remove Music.apk from my ROMs these days as Spotify is all I need.
Just tried it and even with Last.fm scrobble enabled it dosn't work.

Yeah, I feel your pain. I have a Captivate and we have tried pretty hard to make it work with the Samsung music player.
Unfortunately, as you point out it doesn't support Scrobbling and I was unable to find any broadcast intents, and Samsung hasn't documented any and the source isn't available.
If anyone knows a way to "discover" intents that an app broadcasts on Android that would be VERY helpful, since I assume that they must broadcast intents to the notification bar app, but I haven't found a way to do this yet.
We'll keep working on it.
I personally use Meridian and Winamp for SDCard music and I like Last FM for internet radio, but like you say they all have their pros and cons.
Bob

Nice App!! FYI...It also works with PowerAmp when you enable Scrobbling. Looks like you can add that to the list.

We are looking into how to support Spotify, and we'd like to work with Spotify. Unfortunately, we are based in the US and can't test with Spotify, due to their restrictions on location.
Can you tell me, does Spotify scrobble without any other app installed or does it require an additional app to enable scrobbling (i.e. ScrobbleDroid, a-simple-lastfm-scrobbler, or LastFM app)?
If we can figure out anything, we'll happily work with you to see what we can do here. Please stay "Tuned"

FYI - a user has discovered an issue.
After investigation, it appears that for Tune Pop to work with WinAmp, it is required to have the free LastFM app installed on your phone. No other app appears to require this, and unfortunately we didn't discover this when testing.
We will update the documentation to reflect this.
If you want to use WinAMP with Tune Pop and don't have LastFM already installed, please download the free LastFM app to your phone. It is not necessary to run LastFM or have a lastFM account, but it appears that WinAMP checks to see if the app is installed. Of course, if you want your music to be scrobbled to LastFM, you can create an account on LastFM, but this is not necessary for Tune Pop.
Please let me know if any questions or issues.
Thanks
Bob

Slacker compatibility?
btw, congrats on the lifehacker mention

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.

- Supports core Android media formats with additional support for WMA
- Protocols: [http, https, mms (beta), mmsh (beta)]
- Playlists: m3u/pls/asx/m3u8
- 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
Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.servestream&hl=en
Source Code: http://sourceforge.net/projects/servestream/

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!

[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)".

Thanks! I wasn't sure how to interpret the rules, so I erred on the safe side. Right now I can't post links anyway due to my limited post count, but once my account gets upgraded/updated, I'll post the link to the trial version.
But in the meantime, please search for "Music Player (Remix)" in the Play Store and you should find the trial version. Try it out and let me know your impressions in this thread.

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.

Thanks, let me know what you think.

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:

thnxx

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).

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

Free: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.torch2424.featherfree
Non - Play Store Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8GQ0-i6zp0IV1RGdFVtNk5pSzg/edit?usp=sharing

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!

Any chance for chromecast audio & standard chromecast?

Chromecast support is definitely something I want to look at! Should be very possible to implement, but the focus is to first implement all missing features I want to implement, and meanwhile make the app stable.
Anyway stay tuned for updates as I will probably implement what is fastest to implement AND mostrequested first.

Of course I'll support something like this, I bought the plus right away without testing.
Two things I'd like more than anything in every music player there is, that's
10 band graphics EQ
Be able to choose folder play, today you got artist, album, tracks
And want/wish
CHROMECAST MUSIC & or CHROMECAST STANDARD support. And if you can also support for Apple wireless music/video standard(don't remember it's name).
Thanks for great app idea, it's a good looking music player, I always use power amp, since I was in it from the beginning. BUT NOW IM looking for something more light designed and good with good quality, and options and so on, and you'll fit that description very well. Good luck in future development.
Edit...
Also put an X to be able to quit application in notifications drawer(pull down).

Folder play is in there, but you have to enable it in the settings
It needs a bit of work, I know. But let me hear what you don't like about it.
I also answered you a bit on G+
Again, thanks for the support and stay tuned for an update later this week!

Just released an update which finally adds playlist support!
Here is an image from the Trackpicker-Screen
Expect some more, smaller updates in the coming days!
Cheers!

Got a bunch of "error scanning file" toast notifications when adding my music directory. However, the songs with errors seem to still show up in the app. Here's a log. Using Android 7.0 on OnePlus 3.
Edit: The toast notifications pop up again upon rebooting the device. I can provide a log after rebooting if you'd like.

@FroyoShark : Re-Popping up is because of automatic rescan.
I'll have a look at it!
Meanwhile, try to retag your mp3 files with something like Picard
It's worth noting that settings to disable to auto-rescan as well as an alternative scanning method are basically finished, just need to implement them into the UI and push an update
Stay tuned.

v0.13.5 is now live with:
- Bugfixes
- Improvements to playlists
- More supported filetypes for embedded lyrics
- Properly materialized "AlbumDetail"-Screen
Edit:
v0.14.0 is live wit:
- tag-editor which supports lyrics
Edit2:
v0.15.0 is live with:
- translucent skin supporting dark and light flavors
screen:
Edit:
A lot of work has been done over the weekend up to this very moment
and we've actually just pushed RC2 containing a boatload of fixes.
Maybe one or another hidden gem has also made it in this version, you might wanna look out for that
As of now, my personal wishlist for a v1.0 is pretty much done and am now focusing on feature requests (so bring 'em!) and fixes.
Of course, a few things on my list are not in yet, and will be developed over time.

We now are officially released!
A lot of fixing and implementing feedback from reddit (of all places...) was done and we hope it's enough for a 1.0 release
The 1.1 version is already in planning, decoupling completely from androids own media library, adding in smart playlists, adding in sorting options and all that good stuff!
A little update on Chromecast support: I don't personally own a chromecast, heck I don't even own a TV and there seem to be no working emulators out there... So spending 40 Bucks, just to develop a single feature, isn't probably worth it, sorry
If you wan't to get the newest features first, consider joining beta-testing! You can opt-in and opt-out at any time using this link.
And last but no least here are 10 gift-codes exclusive to XDA

Awesome music player and just used one of the codes to get the plus thanks!! Looking forward to the playlist add-on so I can use the playlist already on my phone. Anyways keep up the good work!!

Used a code (second last). Thanks for that!
Looks promising though it stutters sometimes when I change screens (Nexus 5x Nougat) in the app.

Just saw this and downloaded it, liking it a lot but it isn't detecting my existing playlists - is that a bug or a not implemented feature?

Is there away to remove the message i get everytime I open the app of "error scanning file"

This is an excellent player,with just the things needed!
But:An essential feature that is missing is the option to make the player open up on startup directly on the ''directory'' category (or any of the others),with the last used folder that you listened too already in place.Like making the player remembering your last folder used.
It is very inconvenient having to navigate all the way from the parent directory to lets say an album's folder 10 folders deep in file structure.
Please fix this!Thanks for the player!

It's not yet implemented. You can expect a playlist importer / exporter and autodetecting playlists, as well as smart playlists, in the coming weeks.

I will look at this when I provide the ability to customize the library-tabs. Before that, the current library system gets an overhaul, which is then optionally completely independent of androids media scanner.
Should take a while but not all too long.

i hope you implement this soon..!The player is somehow inconvenient for people that only use directory view,like me.
Each time i open the player i have to:
1)open the app
2)scroll the default track's artwork down so i can reach the list views
3)tap on ''directories''
4)tap to ''device strorage''
5)scroll all the way down my files till i find the folder ''music''
6)scroll to find the category i was listening to
7)find the folder i want
8)scroll to find the track
9)press play.
You see,for people like me the thing that the player can't remember the ''directories'' last used folder or that it doesn t have the option to choose a default folder that the directories view open up to when you enter ''directories'' or even,like many players do,have the app open up directly inside the last folder you used,makes this player so much trouble.
Other than that the player is excellent,but you need to implement these options soon before exiting beta.

@korekore1
No, you don't have to go through all those steps, just tap the song info area (track name , artist name, album name) and it will bring you right back to the last folder, but that's more or less explained in the tutorial. (...Guess the wording needs to be clearer...)
With that beeing said, I have an update for the beta-branch planned for today-ish which has the ability to reorder any tab in the library and all that good stuff
Edit: It is live for beta users and if all goes well it should soon be pushed to everyone
Also, if the directory tab is in one of the first two spots, it will open directly to the last directory played from
Edit2:
Version 1.1.0 is now live for everyone featuring smart playlists, customizable tabs, a share functionality and of course fixes.
I feel like this is the most stable release as of yet and realize that this should've probably been 1.0...

Really nice app, used it for a while on my OP3 just some minor bugs at the beginning.
Will there be an equalizer where you can change the volume of the headphones?
Like giving the left one more volume than the right? Could be useful for people with messed up headphones.

A balance option.
Probably not, depends on how many people are asking for it.
Stuff that is on my ToDo-list however is:
Playlist import / export
Converting the artist list to have cards with artist images (similar to the album list)
Adding context-menus in directory view
"Now Playing" themes
More widgets
Sorting options for lists
Work on improving the visualizer
