Hello Everyone!
When looking at the way most music players on Android work, I kept on thinking that the method of operation(which is pretty much equal to what you find in the first iPod) was cumbersome! The act of building playlists and changing tracks was, simply put, a pain in the ***!
In order to try something completely different, I started working on a music player that would later be called PlayLine. With PlayLine, I tried to design every aspect of the player to make the interface as fluid and intuitive as possible, all the while allowing the user to create, change and mix playlists with incredible ease.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
To truly grasp what PlayLine is capable off, you really need to give it a try! But let me try to describe it as this: Everything is a playlist - and you operate the interface using drag and drop. What this means is that you can pick up tracks, albums, artists or even playlists - and drop them right into the current playlist, which is shown at the top of the screen! Using the advanced gesture controls, you can really get creative with flinging items to achieve even faster playlist creation.
Once you are done creating a playlist (whilst listening to it!) you can save it, and PlayLine will remember your progress in that playlist, so picking up where you left is incredibly easy. Furthermore, you can customize each playlist by adding a background and icon that will be displayed when you are listen to it.
On top of the powerful navigation system, PlayLine also features:
UPnP/DLNA streaming over WiFi
Built in equalizer (option to use external equalizer aswell)
Art downloader that fetches missing album and artist art
ID3 tag editor
Lock screen & headset controls
Sleep timer
PlayLine comes in a full version that features DLNA/UPnP streaming using WiFi, and in a free lite version.

Nice Player
Very nice concept of a music player, I love the style of a queue to play the music.
A few features i would like to request:
-Headset control: -resume on connect, pause/play on single button press, skip track on double press, previous track for tripple button press
-Mono downmix. I really think this is a useful feature for listening with one ear, the music just sounds better if you are listening with one ear anyway, because you get both channels of the music. I wonder why so few music players have this feature.
-A sleep timer for the player, like in 15 min stop music, I like to go to sleep with music
-A widget for the homescreen and 4.2+ lockscreen
-Ability to disable lockscreen widget
-Ability to rate or mark favorite songs and then add them like in a playlist
-It's not really crucial, but a whit theme would be nice too
The player runs pretty stable, only bug i found, is that the "the" in the artist / album is sorted under the letter T, for example "The Beatles" is sorted under T rather than B.
I really like the player and i hope you continue the great work

Thanks a ton for the great feedback and suggestions
As for the mono downmix feature, Android's built-in audio framework doesn't support changing from stereo to mono, meaning that you would have to do the decoding by yourself. This is probably why most music players don't feature mono downmixing.
The headset controls should already be working - atleast play/pause functionality. I will probably add in the remaining controls in the next update. Same with the "the" bug
Again, please continue to comment / post suggestions!

thanks for the quick reply, the player is pretty awesome, only the lack of a sleep timer keeps me from using it all the time. i can't believe you don't have more downloads.
New Version!
Changelog for version 1.1.3:
- Added a sleep timer to the quicksettings menu accessible via the ‘>‘ button.
- PlayLine will now resume playing if an unplugged headset is plugged in again.
- Reworked headset controls, a single click will pause/play, a double click will change to the next track, and a triple click will go back to the previous track.
- Fixed a bug that was causing album and artist names starting with ‘the‘ to be sorted under ‘T‘.
Hope you guys will enjoy the changes! The update should be rolling out within a couple of hours.
Nice update, I really like the sleeptimer, it works flawless.
The Music resumes only if the headset is plugged in and the player is running. When it was closed, or the system killed it, it doesn't resume, but I guess there's not much you can do.
Headset controls work fine, i find this feature veryuseful.
A few features came to my mind:
-Ability to hide the Playline screen, so it would be easier to browse the library. like swipe up and it would be hidden and if you pick something from the library with long click it would show up on top as an overly or something. if you swipe it down it would be like before, playline and library at the same time.
-A button to delete duplicates from the playline, they are sometimes really annoying
-A setting to set the font size of the library screen and on the album covers in the playline. Also the ability to change the size of the covers in the playline.
This player is getting better withe every update, keep it up, i think the only flaw atm is the lack of a widget. Once again, the UI is really outstandingly easy and intuitive to use.

I'm glad you like it!
You can already change the font of album covers in the playline by going to Settings Also, you can pinch the playline to scale it!
I really like the idea of making the Playline screen an overlay. I will probably start work on that feature next!

Ok so I have tried every music player on the Market and I am just not satisfied, there are ones i like, for example MIUI Music or Poweramp. However each one is missing a key component.
So What i want to do is start a project to make the Best Music Player For Android combining the Best Features and then making them better. I am not a Dev but a great idea thinker when it comes to projects. So what i really need is some devs that want to join into this project. PM Me if you are interested!
Features to Be Included(Hopefully)
Slick UI
Equalizer(like in poweramp)
Lyrics (Like in MIUI music)
Ability to Stream Music
5.1 Dolby Support
Ipod Touch and Honeycomb Like landscape view (http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/coolest-ipod-touch-2.jpg)
Voice Search
Any other Ideas PM
If you want to develop "the best music player", you would have to add quite a few more features than that. You should check out the features of Rockbox, and add the interface features you want to that. To mention a few:
gapless playback
wide codec support (lossless as well as lossy formats)
crossfeed
crossfade
album artist support
advanced database search
Check the Rockbox features at http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/FeatureComparison
Rockbox for Android is being developed, and the features above, except the database, is already working. But especially the UI still needs some work. But the music playback features should be more important than nice looks, anyway.
i really would like to be able to edit song info from my phone (EX. Artist, Album, Song Name) and be able to use pics from my gallery to use as album covers

I second this.
Use player pro it has all of that
Sent from a guy living in a van down by the river
Some ideas:
Database: Browse music by artist/album/song (the tags supported by all music players) and by genre (only a few android players support the genre tag) and by composer (for classical music and DJ collections, none of the android players currently support the composer tag). Of course by folder too. Not everyone needs all the ID3 tags, so let us toggle them on/off in the settings menu.
Play Queue/on the fly playlist like in WinAmp and PlayerPro.
Swipe screen to move from "now playing" to "play queue" to "music collection," or use a WinAmp-like "now playing" rollup screen.
Optional lyrics/last.fm/shoutcast/etc. plugins, so everyone can add their favorite features without bloating the app. Same for codecs: don't bloat the app with dozens of codecs, but let everyone add the codecs they want and leave out the codecs they don't care about.
A build-your-own widget feature (or widgets as optional plugins so you have a wide choice without overcrowding Android's widget list). Some people want a big 4x5 widget with a large album cover picture, others (like me) want to cram artist/title info and play/back/forward buttons in a small 2x1 widget, some may want to put their entire play queue in a scrolling widget, etc.
And of course an equalizer, with presets as optional plugins.
To cut a long story short: it's impossible to make a perfect one-size-fits-all player. The only way to make the best player possible is to make a minimalist "base app" and then let the user add plugins and customize the app to his/her own taste as much as possible.
crossfade, oh my, crossfade, i actually use some DJ dual player app to get crossfade cus non of the regular ones have it.
Can you include a feature to play a song once and stop after that? Every music player I've seen on the marketplace feels the need to keep going and going through every album unless I turn on repeat or something.
This is what has stopped me from replacing my MP3 player with my Android phone. I love how on my MP3 player, I can play a song and it will stop after the song finishes, or if I select another song to play instead.

I agree, Player Pro is amazing, I installed it a couple weeks ago and it's much better than the stock Player, It is the first music player I have found and liked that finds music on the device storage and sd card. The only thing I kinda wish it had, although it's a cosmetic thing, is that I wish it had a coverflow type landscape.
Another killer feature for a new music app:
Split screen layout of music library, play queue, and player control buttons. This way you can insert songs into the right place of the playqueue by a simple drag'n'drop action, and you have the most important parts of any music app combined in a single screen.
A rough outline of what it could look like (yes, it's a messy cut'n'paste job):

MusicDroid is a On-Screen music controller, provide you next, previous and start/pause button to control the song you are listening. It has ticker text to show the song information which are playing. When you play the music by any music player, for eg. PowerAmp, MusicDroid will popup automatically. The notification will also update when you play song, to show the song information.
The idea of MusicDroid is to support any music player and provide a on-screen control button/information ticker to convince users.
Features:
- Auto popup when you play music
- Ticker to show song information
- Play/pause, next, previous button to control songs
- Whole panel is movable
- Simple layout
- Minimize button to hide the panel when you don't need it
- Notification to show song information
- Customize for font size and font color
**music player that should work at this moment**
- Poweramp
- HTC default player
- Samsung default player
- AOSP default player
- MIUI default player
- Sony default player
- CM default player
- Last.fm
- Winamp
- Amazon
- Real player
- Vanilla Music Player
**please report me if any is not work**
Please give me feedback and comments so i can improve the App!

Issue confirmed, temporary solution for display song information, check "enable Scrobbling" in winamp setting, with installed Last.fm. The control still not work.
I will take a look in it.

after few study, seems winamp cant support these functions without 2 settings,
with the song infomation, Last.fm is needed, and so the check "Enable Scrobbling"
with the control, check the "Control headset" in setting
please try

works now. I would request a ICS-themed "widget" (dunno how to call it) though or something a bit classy. and i suggest getting rid of the circles.
that aside, function and stability first before the look.
Add Vanilla Music Player (open-source, no longer updated) to the list. It works even without last.fm although the song information doesn't work even when I still have last.fm
1.1
- UI Changed
great new UI. even using it right now!
btw, i think the player works with every music player coz i tried two more players and they work except in the song information.
testing more

I don't know dude. Never was a fan of reading lyrics.
Anyway, here's another concern of mine. Why is it that the "widget" (dunno how to call it), has a minimize function that you can minimize (or close) but can't bring back? I mean, just get rid of that minimize since clicking on the musicdroid (on the notification) closes the program anyway.
And would you give me a little bit bigger (widget) and have the song title below the artist's name? I mean like this:
Lady Gaga
Bad Romance

a bit higher widget height but much smaller font. It's just that it doesn't look too good for small-screen devices; i mean, on my sgy.
Btw, don't know if this matters, but yeah, poweramp has no problem with the app. Song information is detected even without last.fm.

my first idea was hide it and popup when song is playing, for eg, when i connect my earphone, poweramp auto play song, musicdroid auto popup. but yea, i realize i should make a way to manual pop it up.
for the layout, i will try that

i actually like your idea. how about having a setting in musicdroid where it may autopopup when music is being played by "selectable" music apps like poweramp, winamp, etc. it makes the program highly customizable that way.
I also think that the layout may be manually set. I mean, the height, the transparency, the button types. Makes the app very customizable.
And last concern, the icon is really "boring". hehehe. there I said it.

would be nice idea for selectable music app, but need a bit time to figure it out how to get those intent.
for your new layout idea, i made it, look better than before, but the font might bit small, the new version will be up in play store once i clear up the code, with limited customization for buttons. Thanks for you ideas, really help to improve this app!

Complaining about too much updates ?
I care about what I publish and want it to be perfect.
Some things seem to be good at the start but need tweaking later to fit the needs of everyone.
beat supports 2800+ devices, is available in all countries, is free and you can switch off the ads (the switch is not hidden somewhere).
With 2000-3000 downloads a day new bugs, feedback and suggestions come up everyday and I want to make everyone happy.
So please think twice before you complain about too much updates, instead tell me what I should update next
Hi there,
Nice music player you've made there =] The UI is clean and easy to use, gestures are handy, action bar is handy, and nice floating music controls for multi-tasking.
I do get FC when I add a folder to shortcut and go to the main menu to scroll down. The FCs stop when I remove the shortcut so it doesn't FC until I scroll, long-pressing to remove shortcut is possible.
I also notice that if I have a folder with some loose files + folders with music in it, the adding to playlist feature only adds the loose files and not the folders, is there a setting to change that?
If I may, I have a request, since it is a folder player, is it possible to add "play folder (and subfolders)" without opening it or making it a playlist? Also, could you add screen rotation capability to use the player in landscape mode?
Thanks for your great work!

Force close when scrolling the navigation drawer is fixed in 1.24.
Let me think about for a while how I could add the subfolder-thing for playlists and playback in a proper way.
On my ToDo-list:
- landscape
- a proper tablet layout
- random playback from all songs
- subfolders
- a better floating icon
Newest apk attached to OP, I'll keep it up to date.
Hi!
Nice app, now, beat is my default player. EQ, and nice design.
On my SGS works perfectly, but I found a little bug.
In the status bar does not change the track names. All the time it indicates the title, which was played first.
Screenshots.
Really awesome music player! I have only one bug to report so far. For some odd reason, the album art of most all of my albums won't display. Screenshot below. Otherwise, great app!

Do you have image files in the folders ?
Currently i check & display the cover like this:
Check if folder.jpg is there. If not take biggest image file.
1.27:
- fixed: song name in notification only updates when songs are switched from the notification (forgot to handle the 'cover swipe song change')
1.26:
- fixed: rare force close 1
- fixed: rare force close 2
- fixed: next song not playing, when switched from 'on device' to 'cloud' and back to 'on device'
- fixed: song name in notification only updates when songs are switched from the notification
SWEET! will try once i get my phone fixed! (i loaded wrong script and im fixing a brick XD), but one feature i would like to see implemented (if there is an api for it that is), is google play music intergration (if possible, and allowed by google of course ), then this would meet my needs for everyday use =), as the features are really unique for a music player =), keep up the good work and ill watch your progress =)
If that's ever possible, I'll implement it for sure.
Nice work so far
I really like the UI design!
Here are some bugs I found so far on my Galaxy Note 3:
The title of the song currently playing is not being displayed in the notification, just the progressbar, time and the app icon
The folder view laggs like hell on my device (power saving off)
Oh and it just crashed xD
Usecase: install fresh app; press ok when asked to choose a root path; go up to the sd end external sd cards;choose external and a music folder;play a song; play another song from within the same folder; open the left swipe menu and press recently played(doesn't work sometimes, also the scrollbar max value is too big, causing the list to jump around when scrolling on my big screen) when you are in recently played, press back and you have an empty view; press back again (you are on your homescreen) launch the app again and it crashes.
Hope I could help you, if you need further details, just let me know =)

would you consider adding podcast support... the design of your app looks amazing!
Nice app so far. Please keep upgrading.
Very intuitive design, might I request support for copy.com on your cloud options? Oh, and I had a crash as well.
Do you can Include translucent statusbar for kitkat like quickpic app did? Please.

My mp3 files also embedded with lyric. Can you support this as well, please?
You app got a potential. Keep your good work!
VERY nice app!!!!
Looks awesome!!!
runs fine on my S4 (stock 4.2)
few suggestion:
1. sort order for folder/items
2. for streaming, a buffer choice.
Keep up the great work!!
I like the UI a lot. And floating control is pretty cool. Still not a replacement for poweramp but this can be my my google music replacement.
Thanks for the awesome app and hope you will bring even more features.
equalizer problem
whenever I try to turn the equalizer on application stops

I haven't dropped acemusic support. The problem with it is, that there is no official public API for google play music streaming on unofficial apps. So the google play music streaming doesn't work properly. I am trying all the libraries i found on the internet, to do the job, but am not able to do so! Maybe I'll have to strip off Google Play Music. Will it be okay? Or no?

Yeah honestly I don't really care about the Google Play support myself, a couple of things would make ace music perfect for me.
Lock screen support and if you could somehow make the navigation for albums, songs, etc in the sliding fashion like this app and not the slide out left menu it would be perfect.
Or even integrate the now playing screen from ace music into this app as ace has the best now playing UI on any music player in my opinion

Yeah! you gave a good idea. I was trying to copy the material design player in IO. But maybe I should get back to acemusic one!

Yeah your navigation drawer is just fine, I think you should rip the now playing ui from acemusic as that trumps any other ui out there. I would gladly purchase lantern for that as acemusic was better than the google io player anyway
Initial impressions is good. Thanks.
But I can't see any album art and the songs list is blank while I can view the albums.
But i would still prefer acemusic over this.
issue
on pressing next in playback activity, the seekbar is not getting reset. It happens only if I pause the playback and press next, otherwise, it is okay. The seekbar is getting stuck at that point.
It was temporary, I couldn't recreate the issue afterwards
Cool app!
Nice little app! I like its overall features, but I have an issue that I hope you can address in the near future. Album art is handled very badly, there's no setting for keeping the aspect ratio or unzooming, etc. But the biggest problem is that it uses some kind of thumbnail system that downgrades the quality of the images. I always embed my files with high-quality pictures to avoid blurriness. ACE and Poweramp handle it beautifully, with no settings or issues, just displaying the actual images I embedded. The difference between them and lantern is palpable.
Only one feature I need and I'd be very grateful if you can implement a toggle for lockscreen album art
Does this app work with Pebble watch?
Hey! Superb app, I am using it now as my main music player, but the application doesn't download? or can't find? covers for my albums, only 3 artworks were found. Could you add a feature to manually set covers from gallery or help me somehow else with this problem? I found all my albums on last.fm, so I don't know what I am doing wrong.

I'm really surprised there are no replies here. Anyway, I downloaded the player and loved it, until I noticed that the song info doesn't update on the main screen (and in turn, my pebble watch) when it switches to the next song by itself. I'm running Android 5.1.1. I can send you a logcat if you want to check it out. Thanks.
I think that it's the best player on Android. But unknown for a lot of people.
I used almost all audio mods on XDA, I think Stellio's equlaizer is the best.
And i used nearly 15+ music players but this is really cool and quality app.
I was using Sony Music but they sc**wed it's appearence and quality. I think Stellio's flat theme (blurry) is awesome !
Are you the developer of the player ? @doomedez
thanks to all developers of this player .
Absolute best music player when you have your own collection of music (Opus, Ogg Vorbis, AAC, MP3).
I wanted to install the app for my parents but it is no longer in the play store. What happened?
Looks like app was deleted from gplay because of VK integration. It still can be downloaded on developers site and they say it will back to gplay with next major release.
Great music player. Please keep the Vk integration. Thanks for continuing development!
This is probably the most eye-candy music player I've used. Sadly I can't buy the premium right now, but damn I wish I could use my Play Store credits to get it from Stellio site.
@doomedez - how did you designed the app UI? It looks really 'Material 2', which is something I haven't saw in any app other than Google's own.
I'm using an ANS UL40, unrooted, with Nougat 7.1.1, and if I use Stellio's equalizer I get a scratchy background noise. I remember seeing this issue reported previously but can't find the post.
Is there a solution to this distortion problem?
@doomedez
- Crossfade - Smooth transition from one track to another
I think this feature is broken in version 5.1.1 at least the result, wasn't like I expected here is why:
crossfade should kick in while the songs end and the next one starts, but right now only activates if I manually change the song (this should be a separate option, if you want to have 2 diferents settings)
Otherwise it's an awesome app, really liking the theme options
I am having a problem with the crossfade/gapless playback? I have tried version 5.2.4 and 5.3beta and it is not working for me. The next track just starts, not fade or mix with the next song coming in at the end of the previous track.
Hi, after half year of testing of many music player on my car android unit (PX5) i get back to Stellio, it looks and sounds perfect. Now I'm running on payed version and tryed all skins.
Theres few qestions, notes or proposal for modification:
* it is possible to show song position in notification bar (My widget can show it on homescreen from others players. f.ex. Poweramp, but I can not see it on Stelio)
* Is there a way to modify skins? (I would like to have jFrost in black to sits with rest of my apps in car)
* Can you add option to to turn of all EQ related screens and buttons on main screen if EQ is not used? (as my unit has own DSP and general EQ app)
* How can I contribute to language translation? (Slovak)

Hi
I am alao using a px5 car unit. When i start the engine stellio doesn’t resume where it left in music.
Is there a way to fix that?
Thanks
This app is great. I love the cross faded feature - unfortunately, it's impossible to adjust the crossfade length for automatic play or shuffle mode. The feature works too well when performing manual selection ofsongs-but still takes long to switch to the next song. I'd love that cleared. Bottom line, the app is fire! Thanks developers.
