The best music player out there without a doubt but the only thing is that it needs a landscape view when opening and a FULL ENGLISH interface.
And a better widget too.

I was just looking around the Chinese website for some information !
A great player indeed , I'm just concerned about the battery usage but i'll have to test it some more to see.
Also why include a freaking web browser and not a video player ? : P

German translation will not be possible as of now as our team has recently translated it to English from Chinese you need to wait at least four months for global translations as our primary aim is to perfect the app first

Hi,
Great players, but still many issues for me :
1) I have version 3.94.1102 installed on my Nexus 7 tablet.
Today, when I launch the app, it says that I should upgrade to version 4.2.0110 and send me automatically to the google playstore page of TTPod, but the issue is that it now says that my device in incompatible so I can't upgrade anymore !!!
Please make TTpod compatible again with the Nexus 7 tablet (3.94 seems to be running without a glitch on the Nexus 7)
2) The management of music Cover is both buggy and too complex
- buggy because if you let TTPod download directly the music cover, it sometimes find covers that have nothing to do with what is being played
- buggy because TTPod does not recognize covers when they are tagged into the mp3 itself (while many other mp3 players do)
- complexe because if you want to add a cover manually you have to rename your jpeg cover picture as "album_name" (not "album_name.jpg") and then you must store this file into a special folder on the sd card: ttpod/art/album . Most other player would either recognized an album cover if it is embedded in the song's tag or if it is stored in the same album file as the mp3 files with a .jpg extension... You also have to change the tag of all song so that it includes the name of the album, otherwise the album cover file set in ttpod/art/album will not show... None of my mp3 tags include the album name... so having to retag all my song is very time consuming... All my songs are tagged with the album cover and unfortunately this is not recognized by TTPod...
3) Despite me tagging very carefully my mp3 songs, sometimes lyrics are completly wrong : they do not match at all the song that is being played (eg the latest MIKA "Origin of Love" where TT Pod must be downloading the lyrics for another song also called The origin of Love...)
4) There still too many Chinese language within the app (version 3.94.1102 as I can't upgrade to version 4.2).
This means there are still many features that many users can't use properly...
Please do at least a full English translation.
Then you should create an intl translation project...
Keep the good work, TTPod is very good and not far from being perfect
Re: [APP] TT POD the best in class music player
fan of it since the age of java and Symbian but in android it seems very annoying in lyrics or song downloading...so here I m preferring duomi...

I'm not even sure if this is the right section to ask in, I've never really left my specific device forums before but here goes!
So I just upgraded from a Sammy S3 to a Nexus 6 and I had a paid app called PVStar+ Pro on my S3. It lefts you play Youtube video's while having the screen off unlike that POS Google Youtube app!
So I setup my new Nexus 6 and I just realized it's not here on this phone. So I checked my apps on the market, nope. So I copied my APK off my S3 over and but it doesn't seem to work right. I can't search videos. For example, I've searched Tiesto, Hardwell, the Wonderland Music Festival etc and it comes back with zero results. Plus I don't think it's fully PRO.
I tried checking out the home page of the dev but it's all in Japanese so I shot them an email and so far no reply.
One of my favorite apps! Just wondering if anyone knows WHAT happened to it? Even Google searching brings up nothing.
I have the same problem. My PVstar+ didnt show any search results what so ever, so I thought thay I might need uninstall/install it, but after I uninstalled it I noticed that it was missing from google store. After a while I found the .apk file on another site but the problem with the search results remain.
Too bad, this was my favourite player.

I tried searching for ASBIT but didnt find anything.
We can still use it though, so just make backup and dont lose it

It was pulled for just that reason and no it won't be back. Google may have gone as far as removing it from devices.
Howw exactly can google remove it from devices? I saw other youtube background players are still there... anyway good job of it's true... no one will buy their service and probably use itunes instead. Really smart.

Its not that hard, They even did it awhile ago when an app was found to have a virus built in.

This was awhile ago but just a proof of it does happen. I am not saying they will just that they could.
No chance on the Itunes bit. Most wont even come close to wanting that POS software on their system.
So... does anyone have the apk for pvstar? It would be nice to attach it to this thread..
And since I like my own ideas...

Is it just on my device or the PVSTAR+ youtube search doesn't come up with any search results anymore? (when searching for a youtube video inside the app I mean)
Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Try using the "Video search" button in the main screen. Be warned that Google can break search on Youtube remotely on any app – they routinely do it for old Youtube .apk's so you can't use them anymore.
I believe nothing new happenned in this case? I loved PVSTAR, so maybe there's some info from devs? Any homepage I can visit?
Thanks, and sorry for digging that up
I like PVStar+ cause its the only Youtube streamer I could find that 1) doesn't require me to log in to Youtube and 2) will keep playing in the background even when you X out and go to the desktop. The only problem is once you go to the desktop you can't go BACK to the app without making the video you're streaming start over from the beginning.
But yeah I haven't been able to find another Youtube streamer like this, so I'm sticking with this for now. Already saved the APK if I switch device (rooted with Titanium Backup).
Hi, I have noticed that pvstar+ is in the Amazon appstore and it is updated to 2.6.2 version, while my installed version is 2.5.11, probably the last that was available on the play store.
How can I install the new version from Amazon without lose all the cached music?
Fun on the appstore
Hi, I came to have the same problem as you guys, not finding the pvstar app anywhere on the playstore. But looking at other similar apps, the recent updates had the users mad because they couldn't listen to music in the background as well.
This is not one singular occurrence and I'd love to write one angry email, but I don't know where to send one...
This is a low blow.
Pvstar+ pro version, difference from free version?
updated below with answer to own question
The Pvstar+ which is free on Amazon app store in version 2.6.2, how does that differ from the donation "pro" version that was available from play (last version 2.5.9)? Did the regular non-pro version from play display ads? I don't remember it doing so, but I bought the pro very shortly after finding out about the app. The Amazon version does not display ads from what I've seen, and both amazon's 2.6.2 and 2.5.9 pro from play can still do background streaming.
Was pro just a support the developer thing with identical functioning as the free version? Cached copies of their respective play store pages don't seem to be available so no help there.
There was this issue with many videos not being played at all by pvstar+ before, possibly all videos that were only available in. FLV format from Youtube.
Pvstar+ is perhaps only a frontend in app format for the streaming site at http://sp.pvstar.dooga.org since the app needs to connect to pvstar.dooga.com to be able to play anything not in your devices local cache.
The developer does not seem to answer emails. Someone who is fluent in Japanese could give it a try to see if there are any answers to be had from the official source.
Copied from cached version of https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.asbit.pvstarpro from October 10th 2014

Hey, this app is only available in India, Indonesia, and Brazil Play Store.
Aite Folks!
Please post Feedback directly on thread (instead of PM'ing me). Thank You all for suggesting the changes (which I take considerable time to present on this thread).

About the correct format of Presentation:
✓ Use the in-app feedback, especially for problem related to music quality or track misinformation.

✓ Take Screenshot of the About Screen and attach it.
✓ Take Screenshots/Screen Recordings and post them privately on Imgur or Mediafire (not Affiliate Links) and attach link here.
✓ Add your Resso Username (The first one you had set)

× [SUGGESTION] : Requesting a non-essential feature, as an accessory to the present app features.
× [POLL] : Amass community feedback on a topic directly related to the app in the forms of Likes/Thanks/Thumbs Ups.
Following the above guidelines would help developers receive organize issues and tackle problems in correct priority.
Hey there, just wanted to say this app is amazingly well made.
I suppose I'll admit I share the concerns over how you're making money. Something as professional looking as this is has to have been a lot of time to develop and if it's closed source no one else can check to make sure that there's no malicious code stealing ad data or something like that. I also have to ask, what's the source for the music? Like, how do you have access to high quality versions of all these songs??
Questions aside, this app is great, very well done. Will certainly be interested in donating for an app like this to keep you afloat.
I agree with the last message. This app is incredible well-made and can't believe how this has no recognition at all. Everything works great and smooth, let's see how this project goes!

Will be glad if you do your part in spreading the app if you like it.
Okay so this app definitely deserves more recognition.. It is very well made and has a beautiful and smooth UI. Love the animated gif feature and dynamic lyrics.
I have a couple of requests or improvements that will make this app my main music streaming application.
1. I think the search option needs to be refined more. Mostly I have to either type exactly what I want, which means that the search predictions aren't helping me much. Or, I have typed out a popular song or album but whatever shows up immediately is anything but that album/song.
For example, if you search for Kamikaze, and you scroll to the album tab, it isn't immediately shown. Or maybe it's just somewhere deep down in the search results..
However, if you search for Eminem, click the artist and then see his albums, you have a much easier time finding the actual album than using the search option. (If you try my example search in practice, you'll see what I'm talking about)
Maybe the search algorithm doesn't take into account the artists you usually listen to and just shows everything that resembles your search term?
2. The ability to transfer playlists or complete sync with either Deezer or Spotify. I think this will bring a lot of users to your app and I'm pretty sure you're already aware of this. I also think this option deserves priority over the rest. I'm itching to bring forward my Spotify playlists
3. This is not strictly for me, but maybe an option to allow downloads to external sd card? I know a lot of people that use that option.
4. The playlists mostly displayed as recommendations are seemingly by users that aren't actively using the app? Perhaps they used the app in the past but stopped updating the playlists? There's a bunch of top 20 playlists from years ago that are severely outdated. I'm not sure how you would tackle this but I thought it was worth bringing up.
5. Ability to cast music to chromecast.
I think these are the main ones that come to mind for now. Apologies if it seems like I'm ungrateful or complaining, I'm simply reporting my findings. This app is honestly quite lovely and I'm happy that you have decided to release such an app.
Thank you
I gave my feedback when it was lava music..and now again.. this app is amazing.. but the only downside is audio quality.. just bring it above 360 and it will be awesome

Isnt the app name was lava music...and then it was removed from play store (just like solo music)..?and now its rebranded as drift music

Welcome to XDA! There's 3 - 4 options to download for most music, 320, 192, 128 and for some very old music 64 kbps.
Scaling above 320kbps is definitely a luxury at this moment with the cost, but who knows what [donations/investments] await us.
Drift is a Fork of Lava Music. Lava Music has ceased to exist as a part of the Secret Music Project.
Solo Music Project is another great music project which has also ceased to exist.

But why are they ceased to exist?
Did thanos snapped them?
So what's the guarantee that drift music wont be stopped and where could we get the new version or drift or (a new name) app

Why this app constantly getting removed from xda labs??
The only cons i faced while using the lava music and now drift (new version) is that it is not optimised well ..the app lags ..drains battery fast.. and many times hangs.m

2) Completely agreed. It's only that we are skeptical how Spotify would react to it. ? Being based from India, where Spotify will be released soon, I'm pretty sure they might scrape our API keys as they discover us, but as you said, what's the harm in trying?

I appreciate your detailed response. Regarding this 2nd point, you can actually go the route of supporting playlist transfer with Deezer. People can then use a website like Spotizr to transfer their playlists to Deezer. I'm currently using Deezer and transferred all my playlists over from Spotify using that site. And I feel that ultimately, you would have to support playlist transfer from both Deezer and Spotify anyway.
I found an area of improvement. If I have selected a song to be added to an already downloaded playlist, the song isn't automatically downloaded. I have to manually download that song. Perhaps this can be a playlist specific option? Like a toggle that automatically downloads the song in that particular playlist whenever the song is added?
BTW I've been using your app as my main music streaming app since yesterday due to it having Indian/Pakistani and English music. I didn't realise this before. Previously, I needed to use multiple apps for these languages but you seem to have a decent collection of music in all three languages. And lyrics too. Honestly, this is so much more convenient than creating playlists in two apps.

First of all, Clear your App Data and you'll be greeted by the favourite artists page, choose Bollywood Artists. This'll be your first step to customise.
If you have registered yourself using Facebook/Google, then go to your profile>Edit Profile>Tags and choose 'Bollywood'.
Finally, listen to Bollywood music! The more you listen, the more the Playlists and For You list personalizes to your Music taste in the Discovery Section.
Hope this helps!
If you were helped
