Hi

Am I the only one for whom no version from alpha 1 to beta 1 has worked??

I have a HTC DESIRE HD, running Gingerbread, and have seen every version force close on open!

Any ideas???
[Android Apps and Games] davwman:
ill be buying this when released!
[Android Apps and Games] malstryx:
So how foes beta 1 look now? I don't want to ditch the windows phone 7 look so I don't want to upgrade from alpha 7 yet..
[Android Apps and Games] Spartoi:
You can install in the Beta without it erasing the Alpha version.
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
"If you want the WP7 look back, you'll have to wait until someone releases a skin for it (which I'm sure won't take long once the details on how to make skins are released)."

WTF Federico. How about releasing the current WP7 skin that you've made instead of making us wait for a semi crappy version....
[Android Apps and Games] miguelcerca:
Not liking beta nearly as much as the alphas. Doesn't look as pretty and I can't swipe between albums, artists and playlists. Bring back the swipe!
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
Jepp. Don't like this at all. I wanted a WP7 player, and it stopped being it now.

[Android Apps and Games] aly19:
The creator might be worried about running into issued with Microsoft
[Android Apps and Games] ooie:
Seems to be that way. Making it skinnable removes his responsibility in case Microsoft decides to take action.

Just tried the new beta, progress bar is finally usable. Other than that, it looks boring.
[Android Apps and Games] arsonist63086:
Love the app looks and feels grate .. but yeah I like the wp7 look better since my zune has the same layout .. hoping for a skin if for the finall app
[Android Apps and Games] blestsol:
We don't like beta Fred.
[Android Apps and Games] treUse:
I have to say I prefer the look of the beta over the alpha, well done.
[Android Apps and Games] qccoles:
sooo liked the other look better...the look was why i used it. guess it's back to playerpro til the wp7 skin is released.
[Android Apps and Games] deepsleo:
Unless you have some legal obligations to abide to, I think we all loved the versions prior to the beta...this one takes the very appealing look & feel off the previous versions. We all appreciate your efforts, and would be more than willing to pay (at least I would) for a stable release that's as close to the Zune player look as possible.

Live this apps over all the music player out for android. this its best as far as my concern.
[Android Apps and Games] rammkp:
Feedback

Like the interface in general and full screen display of album art. It has great potential to be a first choice music player

A quick feedback. The headset controls does not work as i would have liked them to.

1. If "Enable Headset Controls" option is not checked and when i receive a call, it allows me to take and end the call using my headset button. When I take the call, music stops and on ending the call it resumes. However if am listen to a song and phone is ringing, the music does not stop. Is this the way it is suppose to work? I would have like the music to stop and let the phone play the phone ringtone.

2. When "Enable Headset Controls" option is checked, i can only control UberMusic with headset button. I cannot take or end call using headset. Again is this how it is designed to work?

My phone is Galaxy S I9000 and am on a Rom Kitchen ROM (JPK-Froyo).

Regards

Ram

If u don't like it use the older one or not at all.. he puts alot of time in this not to get rude feedback. If u have a suggestion then say so. I'm sure ur threats will go unnoticed.

On a side note. If its possible to add the option to delete it would put this over the top :)

PS I mean no disrespect guys just saying

nobody calls my EVO a fizzle and gets away with it!!
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Would anyone mind posting some screenshots of the library and now playing screen to show what the beta looks like?
[Android Apps and Games] Lawful123:
Liked the old look better
[Android Apps and Games] chizzwhizz:
Liking the new beta look

The new beta look to me is just as desirable to the WP7 look...in many ways it looks cleaner and more well put together.

Is there anyway to delete the album art cache and have the app look for the correct album art? Some of my music files are associating themselves with the same album art because i copied that jpg into my music folder.

Thanks in advance to anyone that helps
[Android Apps and Games] davwman:
keep the new look with skinning options, and bring back the swipe capability. just my suggestion.

edit:nvm didnt realize swipe was still there.

Alpha version looked so much better than this one. I don't like it at all, whole "WP7 experience" now dissapeared and it look just like any other Android music player :(
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
The Alpha stops working after july 15th. I've checked the apk to see if there's a way to turn the "clock" of, but i can't find anything. I can open the xml-files, like strings and other values, but the smali? No. I'm no programmer.

On a good note it looks like it will hit the market on july 15 lol

Trust me (-..-) im from the webs
[Android Apps and Games] gplock:
Prob. From the henny and coke drink it went swimming in. :0)
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
Here's some screenshots of the new beta :)
[Android Apps and Games] Federico Carnales:
The WP7 look was removed to avoid any potential legal conflicts or complaints.

As I mentioned in the release notes, don't worry about it, the skinning engine has all the tools necessary so that a skin can make it look 100% identical to the alpha versions. By the time the latest alpha expires, I'm sure we'll have a skin that perfectly matches the look of the alpha.
[Android Apps and Games] Persona+:
Any word on how much this will cost?

Trust me (-..-) im from the webs
[Android Apps and Games] CB620:
Will there ever be a 4x4 widget lockscreen widget etc?
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
Thanks for dropping by! Do you plan on making a WP7 theme yourself? The alpha is just perfect, and i'm afraid that a theme from the "outside" won't be that good :P
[Android Apps and Games] mmegalodon:
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa.

Whoa.

Wow. I guess I have to have patience and faith. I don't hate the new look, but I was loving *7. I do hope it's there by said date.
[Android Apps and Games] Shadomastr:
First off, I love the player. However, I'm having trouble moving away from the stock player 1) because none of my google music is available for streaming and 2) none of the music I "pin" or download to my phone from google music seems to be found by third party apps. Anybody have a solution. I can understand #1 not being fixable, but can my second problem be solved by moving music files out of a certain directory. Does anyone know where exactly pinned music files are stored? I can't seem to find them anywhere.
[Android Apps and Games] Duce HD2:
Very nice! Still early, but once the wrinkles are ironed out it will be much better that stock for sure.

[Android Apps and Games] MikeMike017:
Fantastic work on this app!! The polish and attention to detail are truly remarkable! Keep up the good work. =) Note: There are graphics for the widget already in the package, so i'm pretty sure that'll be here soon.
[Android Apps and Games] pwnst*r:
Holy **** I love it. I'd purchase the final in a heartbeat.
[Android Apps and Games] el6006:
Very cool. I like the UI but it looks strange on my Droid Pro. When I choose a track and it starts playing, the right half of the screen turns gray behind the coverart instead of staying black like the left side of the screen. May have something to do with the fact that I'm not using native screen LCD density setting?? I'm not sure. Also, once a song starts playing and I move away from the "playing" screen, how do I get back to the "playing" screen without just playing a different track so I can say, pause or skip tracks within the same album? Cool. :D
[Android Apps and Games] K900:
FLAC support depends on the system. Should work on CM6, CM7 and 3.1+
[Android Apps and Games] DaXmax:
Wow!!! Is amazing! But anyone knows how to setup the playlist, if can, thanks :D... If this is successful, im going to use tis as my primary music player... Good job Fede!

It also doesn't have an icon and it doesn't refresh media, but it's a great start. I hope development continues and that Microsoft doesn't have a problem with it.
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
People, remember that this is an alpha. Normally this should crash and explode in your face a couple of times per day, but it doesn't and it's freaking awesome.

I noticed another thing. It scrobbles to Last.fm :D

This is going to be awesommmee when it's done. I too couldn't use it as my primary yet though, largely because it doesn't seem to do playlists, which I live through.

[Android Apps and Games] sydtrakked:
Google has not released the APIs for Google Music to devs yet. It is still in beta right now so I'm sure we'll have to wait until its out of beta before we will see any third party apps that are able to be fully functional with Google Music.
[Android Apps and Games] sydtrakked:
oh and as for the new beta... I did like the feeling of having my old Zune on my phone... but this new interface isn't all that bad... It's kinda like having Google Music blended with Zune... (I do miss the swype functionality though)
[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
I love the new look...it takes the best of WP7 but keeps the Google feeling. Perfect !

More widgets (mostly 4*2, 4*3 and 4*4), Music folder selection and Google Music implementation later, will make it perfect. Waiting for a market release for paying for this excellent work.
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
Are you blind?
[Android Apps and Games] ron_gangte:
If Launcher7 never had any legal issues, then I don't see why this player would get into any such issues. :O :-\

Please bring back the WP7 look. Skinning ain't a good option. :-(
[Android Apps and Games] shahm0nsterr:
Eh, I liked the look of Alpha 7 much better.

When this app is released, you should include the new look as well as the old skin instead of us having to wait for someone to develop a skin similar to the old look.
[Android Apps and Games] gman8966:
I like the look of beta 1. I think it's easier to read.
[Android Apps and Games] xriderx66:
omg BETA 1 looks horrible. I thought this was a WP7 Clone?
[Android Apps and Games] Mgamerz:
Its going to get a skin when it comes out. Quit being whiny selfish morons and realize that he could do WP7 and get sued, then your SOL on two good products.

Fede, hope to see Google music support (if possible) sometime :) and perhaps a car dock friendly mode, I always use a music player in the car dock :P Overall love the smoothness. Can't wait to see the great skins.

[Android Apps and Games] knifer:
Same with me on using it in the car. The one reason I'm sticking with PowerAMP is the fact that I can just slide my finger across the screen to change songs. No need to look for a button when driving.
[Android Apps and Games] qccoles:
I went back to alpha, and what this player really needs for it to be the BEST in my opinion is a swipe to skip feature..instead of pressing a button.

I may be being picky but I just call it knowing what I want for the money...and some music players let you swipe, but it's not smooth at all, just frame to frame, i'd like a transition if it's possible.

Also, the album art can get a little iffy....sometimes not showing it at all and sometimes it's the wrong person.
[Android Apps and Games] aydc:
I'm still using UberMusic alpha version as my main music player. Beta 1 has been a disappointment. Personally I don't care for the WP7 look, but the missing swipe action between Artist, Albums, Songs tabs has been a dealbreaker. That swiping gesture wasn't patented by Microsoft, so I don't know why it had to be removed.

I wish someone could crack the timelimit of the alpha version so we can keep using it beyond July 15th.
[Android Apps and Games] Yogi3:
I'm one not to hate on free apps that work great but I really hate the new look please bring back the ZUNE look! This new look is just like stock music player from Google...
[Android Apps and Games] Seikoom:
The no swipe to skip is a big disadvantage. But contrary to what others say I'm loving the new look - especially the new seek bar the old one was so hard to use that I switched players.
[Android Apps and Games] kantbstopped519:
i actually like both looks, but quick question for anyone here: in the beta when you change the accent color, is the background supposed to stay that purple color?
[Android Apps and Games] xriderx66:
yea

my friends got a lil freaked when they chose 6 foot 7 foot by Lil Wayne and the album cover thing on the back was Taylor Swift :l
[Android Apps and Games] suua:
I understad the reason why the WP7 look was removed!! :( to bad cuz evryone who used this music player enjoyd the ZUNE experiance :) and i hope that there will be a skin that looks exsactly like the alpha version :)

for now back to alpha :)

keep it u
[Android Apps and Games] ooie:
Any documentation regarding the skinning engine?
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
Hmm, scrobbling doesn't work with the beta, but the alpha works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] joey3002:
i liked the windows mobile look much much better. Ill stick with the beta until someone skins this
[Android Apps and Games] xriderx66:
The final will be out.. SOON guys.

then we have all the themes in the world. including WP7
[Android Apps and Games] mikeandjaimie:
Where do you get the information about the final being out "SOON"? I saw nothing posted saying this...

... Scribbled across a screen from somewhere mobile ...
[Android Apps and Games] jjsoviet:
Make this have access to the Google Music Beta services and I'm totally sold.
[Android Apps and Games] H3llstorm:
I'm guessing this is speculation based upon the July 15th expiration date built into the alpha & beta releases.

If you want the WP7/Zune look in a player that won't expire in a few weeks, there's always ZPlayer.
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
Not gonna happen :p
[Android Apps and Games] thevuman:
I don't like the new look. I loved the alpha version but this version is, like others have said, is too much like google music beta, this app just runs quicker.

I hate having the artists, songs, albums, etc on the top of the screen. When I hold my phone, my thumb is at the bottom of the screen, not the top. I don't want to have to either reposition my hand just or use my second hand. It's just not practical.. and with the subtraction of the swiping, it makes it worse.

I still like this app better than the google music beta, but compared to the alpha, i find that it's a step backwards.

But if you say the skinning can bring back the wp7 look, i'm all for it.
[Android Apps and Games] R3wt3d:
just my thoughts but did u got a warning from ms or so?

Well I like the Zune look as I own WP7 aswell but I don't see the point to buy or download this new look,I better stay with the stock player.
[Android Apps and Games] Federico Carnales:
Just a heads up, I've just posted a skin creation manual here: http://www.ubermusic.com/skinning/

I'm cleaning up the base Eclipse project now, will upload it when it's finished. Then after some changes, I'll upload Beta 2 which lets you actually select and apply a skin so that skin developers can test their stuff.

Hopefully we'll have a WP7/Zune skin soon :)
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Whoa, it's the original Fede!!

I just hope people make a quality WP7 skin before uploading them instead of just wanting to be the first to release a popular but mediocre one. How exactly will themes be downloaded? Where will they be hosted? How will they be installed?

Looks like you fulfilled pretty much all of my wishes for this app. Aside from a transition when swiping...and the now playing artist in the background of the library?"

Other than that, I got rid of my other music players:)
[Android Apps and Games] Mistiq:
Amazing App, been with it since Beta 5 or maybe 6, seems like a new update all the time and can't wait to see what you continue to create.

Oh yea, is there any reason why I can't set it as the default music player? For example if i'm browsing through my music folder with a file explorer and click on a song, it asks me what do I want to handle the file but the only options it gives are the other music players I had on the system like Music Mod and etc... never gives me the option to set UberMusic as the default.
[Android Apps and Games] ryan1mcq:
Beta2 is out already :o , loving this app just now. Good stuff.
[Android Apps and Games] ooie:
Beta 2 with the Metro Skin works flawlessly :D

Can't wait to test other skins as well, even though the WP7 look is gorgeous.
[Android Apps and Games] knightnz:
I had a look at the possibility of skinning it myself but it looks too involved relative to the amount of spare time I have.

I was going to make a skin with nice big buttons suitable for use in a car dock so things can be read and pressed easily. Anyone willing to give it a shot? :)

Otherwise I'll have a go when I take some time off in a week or so.
[Android Apps and Games] wookietv:
I'm not sure if this is a known bug. I deleted a folder in my music folder using a file manager. The file still shows up in the music library. clearing the app data fixed it, but maybe there could be a way to automatically update the library after there is a change made.
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
Just make it FC. You can do it by holding the back button if you're running MIUI or CM7.

Or go to Manage Applications and do it there.
[Android Apps and Games] feerlessleadr:
love the app. Is there any way that you could include an option to select which folders we would like included or excluded for our music? I have audiobooks that I use a different player for that I like to exclude from my main music player.

Beta 2 plus Metro skin = the Zune experience we love :D
[Android Apps and Games] quepaso:
I absolutely LOVE this app, on a phone its not too special, but on a tablet with its full art it is amazing. I have only 1 single issue with this atm, and that is that sometimes it picks low res and crappy art instead of something nicer. Most of the artist pics are very nice and high res but there are some that look terrible. I tried replacing the files in the folder with ones i made renamed exactly the same, and it does not allow for replacement pictures to be used.

Is there anyway to get in contact with the author for a way to perhaps assign pictures to artists ourselves? Thats all thats keeping this from being the ultimate music player imo. There were a few songs it could not find pictures for as well, it stayed blank, so assigning pictures to artist names would help with that as well. Great work either way.
