[APP - BETA] My Player (Getting back playlists like in old Sony Ericsson Phones) - Android Apps and Games

Hi.
I'm developming a new music player app.
This is a simple music player, the main idea for starting to develop it is because I really miss the function for making playlists in old Sony Ericsson Phones (w580, w705, W300, etc), if you don't have idea what I'm talking about, in those phones when you want to create a new playlist, it displays a file browser and you could mark all folders and files to include in your new playlist, I have been testing a lot of music players for android and I couldn't get any with this function. This app is maked for getting that.
Supported functions:
- Repeat one track
- Shuffle playlist
- Show current playlist
- Create own playlists
- Delete own playlists
- On exit, save current playlists and playing state
- On init, load last playlist and playing state
- Playing music on background
- Load default playlist (finding all *.mp3 in sdcard)
Supported languajes:
- English (default)
- Spanish
Working in phones using MDPI.
designed for working since android 2.2 until jelly bean
Tester phone: Samsung Galaxy Ace (Cyanogenmod 9 - android 4.0.4).
NOTE: It's not my own design, I'll change in future versions.
I hope you could test it and give me your opinion and comments please.
P.S: If you want to get the source code, send me a request.

After creating a playlist, no matter what it's named, I get an "app was closed" message. Logcat attached. After this message the app continues to work, creates a playlist, but after picking the created playlist the app shows me a blank page - it doesn't see my music. Though pushing play button makes the app play through all my songs. Really weird behavior ....

[Q] [REQUEST]Select music app

Hello,
I was using HandcentSMS in the past and that app came with a really handy feature : everytime I needed to set a sound as a notification/ringtone/alarm/etc, it allowed me to browse through my music library with artists, albums, songs categories. Without it, I just get the System Android choice, with only stock sounds.
Because installing HandcentSMS JUST for that seems a bit absurd, is there a way or an app achieving only that action ? It would be so useful.
If not, I might start developping my very first Android app...with no experience at all...see you in 2012...
Thanks !

- Direct Volume Control for new Android 2.3+ sound system where available.
Direct Volume Control results in volume level equal (or higher with positive preamp) to stock player, but with the Equalizer/Tone enabled

Library/Folders:
- custom complete Library/Media Scanner implementation, 10x-100x scan speed comparing to system library tag scanner, 1000 songs scanned in 15-30sec (depends on phone/sd card)
- Music Folder hierarchical selection. PowerAMP scans only the folders selected in Settings => Music Folders\
- permanent shuffle. Shuffle session is stored in database and survive PowerAMP restart, phone reboots etc.
- Menu => List Opts for almost each Folder/Library list with the sorting, view mode, and other per-list options

- full-library and folders search
- history of songs played and other smart playlists (Most Played, Top Rated, Recently Played, Recently Added. Each list can be set to be sorted in Reverse. Enable these lists via

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:
Love the new design. Thanx for the heads up..
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
still caches to sd though.I'm sticking with playerpro since it doesn't suck up my sd card
Miss the 4x1 widget way too much. Cant use this. :/
-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
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.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
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!

Been using poweramp since galaxy s1 came out and think it's by far the best.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
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.

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

Auto-translated from Portuguese
very good, would recommend Thank you. The app is great, hard to find one like that, at least with me was difficult. administrators of the app are very attentive, they respond to each comment, whether to thank you or ask what the problem or to calm the person saying that an update will come soon. In short, the app is great and caregiver is attentive. I have nothing to complain about my cell is bad and still withstand the app very well.
---
Impressed Really like this app as an extension to Soundcloud. Seems to be regularly updated too which is always a plus. Highly recommend it.
---
Best soundcloud-player! This player is getting better and better. The best soundcloud app I've tried so far.
---
Worth it!!!!!!!! Love it the best app that I've ever seen I'm a long time it was hard at first to find out what did what (maybe add a tutorial) but doesn't matter best app EVER!!!!!!!!!!! I even got rid of the original soundcloud app Thanks!!! I will now share this discovery to everypony I know this discovery must not be passed I give it 5/5 brohoofs!!! ( im a brony if no one gets it)
---
Finally a soundcloud client that works The official soundcloud app is a hog, chewing through my battery in 6 hours. Now this app will let me listen to my stream for the whole day. And now with extended notification controls even. That's like a cherry on top of the cake.
---
Both super fast both solid. It really deserves more than a perfect 5 star
---
Top! With this app you can tap the full potential of Soundcloud! The web player is also awesome! Thanks to the developer, the most used app on my smartphone!

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

i'm working the app almost every, adding new features (right now i'm implementing Volley library).
So, if you have some ideas, or bug to report, feel free to post them here.
Strange how low feedback i get from the users. For example i get: 'Its not working' or 'Not good' and that's all
Very good app!
This is what the Soundcloud app must've been, I really love the offline listening option.
Good work, dcucko!

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

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

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

[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.
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)
How can i send you a crash report?
awesome work man,thats the player for me,in my opinion the beautyfullest player i ever used,i think i buy it.keep it up!!!! :good:

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.
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].

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!

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
ALL OF THEM ARE USED BY NOW!

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!!
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk
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"
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk
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
