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.

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).

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)
I though I'd post this in the general Android forum as well since this works in most Android devices.
The developer of Launcher Pro has released an alpha version of a music player which is functionally and visually similar to the Zune and WP7 music player. Personally I really like this app. Visually it's the best looking music player on Android.
You can follow the developer on twitter here, where he posts updates on the app as well as links to the latest release: https://twitter.com/#!/fedecarnales
I've found information on the app, download like as well as a how-to install it here:
http://www.stuff-review.com/2011-05/zune-and-windows-phone-7-styled-music-player-for-android/
Tip: make sure you have 'unknown sources' check before you open the file.

You can now long-press any song/artist/album/playlist/genre to add it to the current play queue.

Added the ability to delete playlists by long-pressing on a playlist and choosing "Delete".
Added an option to set the default tab to show when the application is started.
New option to use a custom status bar instead of the system status bar. Touch it to reveal more info (battery charge, Wifi status, signal strength, data connection). Swipe it down to open the notifications panel. Please note that due to limitations in the Android system, it's not possible to show notifications in the custom status bar or customize the notifications panel.
you said it!.... visually the best music player app...... the only thing it needs is an equalizer...... still a great app nonetheless!! thanks!

Thanks. Do you know if there are any compatibility issues w/ ICS? I haven't re-installed the app since I started flashing early ICS E4GT builds.
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!

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

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.

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!

did u reported the error on google play , i dont find any error reported ?? please report it so that i can take a look into it why it is force closing
Would you please share an apk? I don't have the Google Play Market, but I wish to test your app. TIA
Just installed this player, it has a lot of potential! It would be good if you could add the following:
1. Repair the option to keep aspect ratio of album art, it doesn't work now, always stretches it!
2. Add option for separate artist images in Artist view, now it uses only album art
3. Add option for list view in the artist tab.
4. When you browse album tracks, the album art on the top is a low quality thumbnail, can this be fixed to use the same resolution as the now playing tab?
In the end, a question - What's the difference between marine and liquid players?
Cheers!

i will try to answer your query one by one
1)yup it is suppose to be stretching it, but it will be working as u said in next version.
2)will be added in future release.
3)it is already there in artist view
4)sure will be done in next release.
as per the difference marine is beta and 2.3+ supported and liquid is 4.0+ and perfertly stable release and will also gain many future feature updates.
I have been using your music player all day and I like it so far. I was using myplayer as my default but he changed the now playing ui and I don't like it. So here are my thoughts on your app so far:
UI: Very nice, looks very good and follows material much better than Google music does haha. I am looking forward to you fixing the album art cropping so the now playing screen isn't stretched.
2. Navigation nice and smooth moving around the app except for the now playing screen. When sliding to a different track it's not a smooth transition, you swipe and then a second later the art slides but it seems like there is a hesitation. Perhaps make it buffer the next couple of tracks album art so it doesn't have to load the new art each time as it seems it slows down the transition.
Also when you're in the navigation drawer and select a track to play it shows up on the bottom bar. I would like to be able to drag this up to show the now playing screen instead of having to tap it to open. Navigation should be about sliding and swiping and flowing smoothly. Once these issues are ironed out then you will have the best music player out there and I will happily purchase the pro version.

hi regarding your issue,
1. will be fixed in next version
2. yes there is a hesitation becoz it was never meant to be animated but i will see what i can do about the issue and if possible completely eradicate the hesitation.
3.there is a option in setting to open the slider when u play a song
I managed to install your player. The overall impression is very good. But there are few issues for me. First, I don't have lockscreen controls, even though it's enabled in options. Secondly, the player picked up my notification sounds from SD although I enabled the corresponding option. Now, I moved them to system partition and it solved my problem. And finaly: a song starts from the beginning, if the player was closed with that song paused. I wish it could remember the position. Thank you for your work

if u have enabled it then u need to play a new song to be shown lockscreen controls otherwise i dont how will it not be shown.
there is no option to disable notification sound showing in my app although there is a option to skip songs which are less than 45 seconds.
well it is supposed to be starting from where it was paused maybe a bug or device specific issue it works perfectly on all my 3 devices and emulator also

Let's make it clear: pause a song e.g. by pulling the earphone cord, then close the notification. After some hours I press play on the widget and the song starts from the beginning. Even if I tap the widget so it takes me to the "now playing" screen, where I see the progress bar telling me that a half of the song is been played, and press the play button the song jumps to the beginning.
I hope it's clear enough =)

Thanks, that one has lockscreen controls.
Around 6 months back, I decided to completely rewrite my Timber music player and today I have published the new version, TimberX.
https://github.com/naman14/TimberX
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.naman14.timberx
TimberX is built with latest development tools and design patterns.
- Written in Kotlin
- Android Architecture Components (ViewModels, Livedata, Room)
- Databinding
TimberX works across all devices including
- Phones
- Android Wear
- Android Auto
- Chromecast and other cast devices
- Google Assistant
I know that there are lots of music players out there but I always wanted to rewrite my original music player in Kotlin and properly explore the capabilities of the MediaSession APIs in Android. This new version is built on a single MediaBrowserService that is used by all connecting clients.
Looking forward to the feedback on the architecture of the app and contributions are welcome. Thanks!
The app on play store is paid, exactly same version is available on Github release for free and is also attached here
Looks really good so far! I bought the paid version because the UI is so pretty. How do you get into the extra options though? I can't find an actual settings button. Also on the player screen the 3 dot menu button on the top right is unresponsive on my Pixel 2 Android 9
Thanks for purchasing! There is no settings menu as such in the app currently. Will fix the overflow menu on player screen
looks amazing and finally music player with material design v2 , thanks , i hope you ll update it regularly
Yes! Have already started working on adding dark mode

Awesome. Can't wait to see where it goes. Looks so good already. ?
I have a few questions regarding the app's features:
- Will the upcoming dark mode come as dark grey or black?
- Any chance for opus support?
- How do lyrics work?
Other than that it's coming along. Here are some things I noticed:
- App crashes when viewing albums on 5.1.1 (Stock LG)
- FLAC, m4a, wma, and even OGG work
- "Up next", very useful for shuffle or long playlists
- Spacious UI for the now playing screen
- Seekbar starts at the end of the line. Timestamp works otherwise
- Responsive, no stuttering

- Depends on the implementation that will be followed, the last time I added theme engine to Timber, there was too much theming sepcific code throughout the app. I want to avoid that this time. If I am able to find a clean way to implement dark mode then yeah, there will be more combinations available.
- Opus support is not planned currently
- Lyrics are fetched from a public api- makeitpersonal.co
Lyrics embedded in the mp3 file will be parsed and displayed in next release.
Will check the crash on album details. Thanks for the detailed feedback.
Can u please increse the size of album art. its looks too small. and looks uglish
Hi, love this app! I can do some french translation with pleasure
Nice. Will look awesome with dark theme. :good:
One bug - 3 dot menu isn't accessible in "now playing" page.
Looks awesome. I recommend everyone to try it. Great work Naman

If you have a smartwatch, then start playing any song with your phone and then you can swipe left on the now playing notification in your watch to access controls and swipe left again to access you whole music library on the watch.
Oh, i had hoped for a smartwatch app as well. Anyway, the above mentioned things work with the default music player as well.

Hey, so how do I use it on Google Assistant? I can't even use it because it doesn't recognize the app's name.
I also found a bug: The song progress bar and time don't reset when the song ends.
Also I'd like the ability to use my own time-stamped lyrics, and to be able to customize the player more.
This app is interesting nonetheless!

Hi! Can you check if you are able to control playback using Assistant (try saying play song/pause song/next song when you are using Timber), or does assistant doesn't work at all?
Already noted the progressbar bug, more customisability will be soon be added in future releases.

It mixed number of albums and songs ?? . Like in the picture attached, Kanye West has 117 albums and 8 songs instead of 117 songs and 8 albums
