I shouldn't have anymore surprise delays so im thinking tonight :-D. Im going to clean up the UI real quick and do one last test and then make available.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] uncled1023:
Fantastic. Good job. :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
Check first post for an update :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] uncled1023:
Alrighty, installed fine. Views my library fine. Integration into the music controls works well. It even plays unsupported music types, including FLAC. :D Great job so far.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] returned4good:
Crashing still for me. :( With the previous version, I tried it with different roms. So far, I've only used Nextgen+ with this one. It crashes when it says "Loading library". HD7, by the way. Any ideas?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] uncled1023:
Are you using your entire google email as username? I know when i did that it crashed, but then i just used the username part and it worked fine.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] returned4good:
Just tried it with only the user name, same results. :(
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
Try this: Uninstall then redeploy the app. Don't open it, but reboot your phone and wait until everything has loaded then try running the app and see how that works. I'll see if I can make a build that will inform me of any errors that occur throughout the app.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Leon_Citron:
APP is working, I could log in my account, but impossible to start playing...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] PO15ON:
xap me!!!

Hey there,

I would love to deploy it to my titan. Please let me in if there are more slots available. my email is vishalthepatel@ gmail. com
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] kwill:
Damn, did you happen to get unlocked through Chevron? Been waiting for these guys to put up more tokens since I got my Titan two weeks ago. Had to use the HD7 in the meantime.

By the way, app is deploying fine. Nice updates to the ui.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] steveo70:
Yep, back up and running. Unlocked my Titan tonight. Can't wait to install new beta.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] PO15ON:
Yes sir, got my titan unlocked the day i got it :) I got a student account, so unlocked it using dreamspark. I do miss the ability to deploy more than 3 apps at a time, but couldnt affort Chevron. :P

Anyways, did all of you got into the beta? Am I the only one left out?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] meandu229:
I didnt get it yet either,, waiting patiently,, hope it comes in next few hours as im going away for a few days at lunch
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] almlk12:
is there any link to download this app in XAP??? thanks ^_^
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
Send me a PM and I'll e-mail it.

To those who haven't received it yet, it's coming :).
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] mousse04:
MP sent :D
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] onesikpuppy:
I had a problem earlier-

I started playing one song and after 15-20 seconds I tried to start another. It kept playing the first song no matter what I tried. After a few tries (30-45 seconds) it switched. Aside from that one problem it's a huge improvement over the first beta.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
Yeah, I incidentally discovered that issue.. I had an epiphany and I might've come up with a fix for playing in general. I'll send out a newer update some time soon.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
To those who are having issues due to Two-factor auth, I'm working on a newer build that will include support for that. So far it worked with another account I have, but I can't say for sure that it will work for everyone. :) I'll send an update whenever it's complete. I'm hoping for an update within a few hours.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] PO15ON:
App quits after starting

Couldn't make the app start. After the app opens, I enter my id and password, and it logs in, and the app quits.

What am I doing wrong here?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
What device do you have? Also, try uninstalling, rebooting then redeploying the app. See if that works.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
To those who have had success in Beta V2 at least getting PAST the loading playlist screen, post the following:

1) Phone Model / Version (7720 or 7740)

2) Custom ROM? If so which ROM/Version

3) using Wi-Fi or 3G?

4) Program used to deploy the application

5) If you ran into an issue the first time, has uninstalling / rebooting / redeploying helped?

Thanks. This information will help me troubleshoot users who are running into problems initially.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] HBS27:
Really liking the app and its working great for me till now. The only bug I witnessed was that the same track popped up multiple times in the library otherwise no problems signing in or something. Some more UI improvements and bugfixes and this is good to go. Here is the info you asked for.

1. Phone Model/Version: HTC Titan / 7740

2. Stock Version / No Custom ROM

3. Using Wifi

4. Windowsphone SDK App Deployment tool Used

5. The only Issue is same tracks appearing multiple times in the library, otherwise perfectly fine for a Beta version.

Keep up and hope to see this improve and release soon.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] onesikpuppy:
1) Focus S /7720

2) Stock Rom

3) Wi-Fi and "4G" worked fine

4) XAPdeployX

5) Have not uninstalled. Only problems are sometimes songs will not stop or change and seeing some songs in list more than one time .
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] AdamBlue:
1. Phone Model/Version: HTC Radar / 7720

2. Stock Version / No Custom ROM

3. Using Wifi

4. Windowsphone SDK App Deployment tool Used

5. No issues. So far, just feature requests. Still need more time though...will be testing in my car via bluetooth.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Vintage144:
on the original release I had some problems logging in , but was cleared up easy and this version is flawless , I dont care about the flash , but most people going to the market want the "pretty" stuff , ,black screen no pics works fine with me, but this is a great product , great job snickler!

1) Samsung Focus SGH-i917 / Version 7720

2) Stock ROM

3) using Wi-Fi or 3G, BOTH

4) Tom's xap

5) no issues

beta testing

I tried to send a PM to be a beta tester but I don't think it went through..
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] PO15ON:
Hey there,

I have done all that you have asked me to do and still I cannt seem to get pass the loading screen after logging in.

I restarted, nothing.

Uninstalled the xap, restarted, and then reinstalled it. Still not working.

I am using it on my HTC radar, student dreamspark unlocked, stock rom 7720.

I tried interop unlocking, but it didnt work. I think its not possible in 2nd gen HTC win phones. Did this process somehow changed something?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
Hmm you are dreamspark unlocked? Is Anyone else using this with dreamspark unlock as opposed to dev or interop unlock? The only things that I've changed in this version is using the Async CTP Framework and SQLCe.. Have you done any other modifications to your phone in any manner? This is a weird case. I'll contact you tonight after work and give an error sending build to you.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Skizzy034:
I sent you my email snickler but it shows that I still have no sent messages so let me know if you received it. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

I don't know why it isn't showing up as being sent :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] steveo70:
Got to test it out this weekend while hunting and worked without any problems. 2 thumbs up. After giving up my 32g card for the Titan, this frees up a lot of space for my personal music collection.

1. HTC Titan

2. Stock ROM

3. Both

4. Chevron-WP App Deployment

5. "Hung" logging in 1st time, exited relaunched..no issues.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
All,

The slots are now closed. To those who I am waiting for e-mail address to send to, get them to me and I'll send the XAP along. I will focus on the the feedback I've received in order to find a way to troubleshoot for others.

In terms of feedback and issues, send them over my way if you haven't already and I will compile a list of issues that are common between devices/unlocks and come up with something.

Thanks for all who have helped! I will do everything I can to make this a kick ass app for everyone.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Skizzy034:
when I open the app it shows two of each song? Do you know why it does that?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
It's a bug unfortunately (sigh). While you're on the main screen, click on the bottom ApplicationBar and click logout then login again. It may or may not fix that issue in the interim. I'm currently working on fixing that issue for the final beta.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andymck:
damn missed out by a day. UK user using magical ways to access google music....oooohhhh...:)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] PO15ON:
App quits after starting

Hey there,

My app still quits on me after starting. I enter my username and pass, it logs in and while loading library, quits out.

I thought you were going to send me a xap with error reporting. Or the next build of the app...:p

Thanks for making this.

P.s I am having dreamspark student unlock. And stock ROM without any modifications except installing HTC interop unlock xap (failed try on my HTC Titan). Have already uninstalled the interop unlock app.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] onesikpuppy:
I tried logging out then back in. I'm now showing 3 copies of some songs.

Make that all songs.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
wowzers.. Hmm. More bugs lol. Logout, close the app then open it again and try logging in.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
Hopefully today I can get a new build out that will allow for the users to send logs. Been super busy this week *_*. I've made a good bit of changes in the prog..
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] onesikpuppy:
That worked. Back to showing only one copy.

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Skizzy034:
how do we get the next beta? Will it be sent automatically?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] PO15ON:
Hey,

Thanks for replying. I thought that the app keeps quitting because I tried to interop unlock my titan. So I even hard reset my phone (it was a tragedy, because I didn't had backup).

Even then the app just quits after logging in while loading something.

Looking forward to the new build that you are talking about.

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
It will be sent automatically. I've been actually testing out what will be the new build and working hard. It's been rough this past week to devote my entire time to it due to christmas, but I think I will have a nice New Years gift to the beta testers :).
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] HBS27:
Eagerly waiting for the next beta release, some UI changes would make it better to look at.

Sent from my TITAN X310e using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
UI changes would definitely make it better to look at :). I have a guy working on some graphics for me so hopefully I can get those and revamp the UI. As of now, I've done some super thorough testing with the functionality and I'm trying to get all of these ugly bugs out before I release the next XAP. It is looking pretty good though! Sorry for the long wait, but trust me it will be worth it.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] madphone:
Good job, i love google music and love to use it on the htc radar cause of its superb sound quality. But there are some major issues wich prevent me to use it regularly:

i know there is a limit of 1000 songs, but why are they chosen randomly? i have more than 4000, but would like to choose which artists are visible in the app. Like it is now, you can't be sure to have access to your favourite artists.

good to read graphics will be improved. but right now, layout is wasting a lot of space, especially on top and on bottom of the screen.

when i connect to google music the first time i have to hit play on a couple of songs before i can hear anything. later on everything works flawlessly.

i'm really looking forward for final release. when next beta is available i'll publish an article and i will try to record pc screen to show the app in running in an emulator.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
Yeah those are a few issues ive been working out in terms of initial playback and such. As for the random assortment of songs, that's due to the way google stores the data on the music. I've only limited the music for the sake pf beta testing. The full paid release (which i will only make 99cents) will feature all songs, support for playlists, and song caching. I will also release a free version with limited functionality. With that sad, i am working hard to make this a great experience. I actually used the app in my car on the way home with the new build i am almost finished with and the playback was smooth. =).
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] piam:
hi, im using the v1 beta. and title says v2. how do i update to the latest version ?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] DarthCaniac:
Hey, I noticed that your forum topic says that beta slots are now closed, but your forum signature says that there are slots open. If possible, I would *Love* to help test out the app for you!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] jamoiholland:
Me too, I really really REALLY want to try out this app!!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
Next beta will appear within the next few days (That's the good news! :-D). This will be the LAST beta before I work on pushing to the Marketplace and it will be limited to a few more slots including those who are currently in it. I'm still waiting for some graphics, but I have made a good bit of progress! Hold tight! Sorry for making you all wait. If only I didn't have a 40 hour work week lol
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] SoByX:
hy there if there are gonna be available some slots, can i grab one plz? please pm me..or email me, ty
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andymck:
I take your app is going to be available worldwide. I have my 79p, or whatever the exchange rate is, waiting impatiently :D. Sick of having to flick tabs every time a song finishes.....

.....sorry bout not replying earlier!!!!!!!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] revxx14:
Looking forward to the finished product. Even thought I have Zune Pass, I also use Google Music quite a bit...It'd be great to have an app for it.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
Good news! I just received graphics so I'm working on UI updates. More news to come.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] jwilson77:
Great news!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] lucas.scott:
Glad you got ahold of him ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
:: drum roll::

Finally after FOREVER for waiting, today (after I clean up two more things) I will release the last beta of CloudMuzik for testers. Sorry it has taken a long time. I've been working on the beta and the final release simultaneously and focusing on the biggest issue.. memory consumption. So hold your horses folks.. OFF WE GO
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andymck:
Excellent news. Can't wait now :-D
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
Placing the finishing touches on it.. should be within the next half hour- hour :)

Edit: Fixing a few deployment issues then we will be ready to rock!

Edit 2: WE ARE READY TO ROCK!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] jamoiholland:
Great news, any more beta tester slots for this beta release? :D
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] PO15ON:
Does this means that all of us who are already in the beta will be getting it in mail? Or did I miss on how to get it?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
PM ME. I may have missed your email when I sent it.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] madphone:
First impressions:

- Initial playback improved, takes only a few seconds now

- graphics improved, but layout is still wasting some space

- many bands missing beacuse i have more than 1000 songs. guess i have to buy the full version when released :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
Thanks for the feedback. The thing I have focused on the most has been the playback issues. I actually updated the layout at the last second before I packaged it hehe. As for the marketplace version, i will only make the app 99 cents. I don't see a reason for charging over a dollar for this. Let's see what else should I note..

Playlist support

Shuffling

Local song caching (may be in an update of the marketplace ver)

Artist/Playlist/Album pinning to start menu

I will be devoting as much as my free time to getting this out to the marketplace as soon as possible. Luckily I have been developing the marketplace version side-by-side with the beta version so be prepared :).
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] nilsk123:
Thanks for the updated beta. Loving the graphics and the performance improvement. Realy all this needs to be a triple A app is a ui overhaul.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] PO15ON:
I checked my email again, and there it was.

But mine still doesn't work. After logging in, the app quits while loading library. It was the same in the previous version.

I tried the app being the only one active (killed all the other apps running in the background). I tried restarting the phone. Nothing. Every time I enter my log in details, it logs in and quits while loading library. I tried my friend's account and still the same result.

I don't get it. I am having a HTC Titan with stock rom 7720. No updates were installed as AT&T is not having any other than mango which came in the box. It is student unlocked (dreamspark). Since it is 2nd gen HTC, I have not attempted Interop unlock.

Are there any other Titan users with this problem?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] returned4good:
I have the same issue with my HD7.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
This is really weird.. and HD7 and a Titan having this issue. Do me a favor.. use Windows Phone Power Tools, go into the IsoStore of the CloudMuzik app and see if there is an "Error" folder. If so, respond to the e-mail I sent with the error in that file.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
Hmm also.. are you using a regular google account to login or one that uses another e-mail address ?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] steveo70:
B3 working great on my Titan using Gmail account.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
Awesome. Can you provide some specs about your titan in terms of OS version, the type of unlock and if stock or custom ROM?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] steveo70:
AT&T Titan ][ stock ROM ][ 7720.68 OS ][ Chevron unlock
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] returned4good:
I have 2 registered emails (for the same account) and my username. I've tried all 3 and it still crashes as the library loads. I found no error file. I have about 50 GB of music uploaded and the library is the only thing to remain constant with the crashes. Is it possible something in the content is responsible?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] PO15ON:
I do have the Error folder that you described. Have mailed it to you.

I am using my regular google account, the one which I use to check my GMAIL.

I am having the same specs. AT&T Titan, Stock ROM, 7.10.7720.68. The only difference is that I am having student dreamspark unlock. No other modifications done to the OS.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
I sent you an updated XAP. From the logs that I have received, it seems there may be some key missing in the data I parse through that I assumed existed. I added in checking for all of those keys so hopefully that may fix the issue.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] onesikpuppy:
I had a few problems. At first it would just close as soon as I launched it. I uninstalled/re-installed and then it would launch but would stick at a white screen.

I changed to "dark" theme and now it's working fine. So, for me, it seems to not work in the light theme. Either that or I can't see the log on screen because it's all white.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andymck:
Fantastic app. Works perfect over here in the UK using the hack to allow google music. Awaiting the full version to allow access to all my songs
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
I'll take a look at making this light/dark theme interchangeable. Thanks for finding that!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] madphone:
white theme works good for me.

here the promissed preview article on mrmad.net. (german)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
Thanks for the article! I'll do my best to fix the small issues that occur with the app.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] PO15ON:
The new version worked.

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] onesikpuppy:
Light version still not working for me. I can see the play button and adds at the bottom but the rest of the screen is white. If I scroll over to the album/artist page I can see the album covers.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
Everyone. I'm going to get this app ready for a Marketplace submission by the end of the week. Wish me luck!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] titi66200:
Good luck.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andymck:
Good luck mate. Ready and waiting
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] steveo70:
Good Luck!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] nilsk123:
Great, good luck :) im using the latest beta quite a lot these days
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
Super thanks to Marvin_S. He found a few things that would definitely ruin my marketplace submission. He's fixing up some UI related stuff and then I can submit. If not TONIGHT, tomorrow at the latest for submission. More news to come :-D

Also I want to give a BIG thanks to the testers. Without you all, I wouldn't have been able to improve this app and make submission a reality.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] nilsk123:
So did you submit it? :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
Unfortunately not yet lol. Marvin_S is having some troubles with my project. I am fixing up a few things by myself then seeing if it will work for him. He's done a good job at fixing up this UI I might add :). I'm going to stay up late and hopefully get it submitted tonight as if it weren't for Marvin_S, I would've submitted and immediately got rejected for a small but noticeable bug. I will update everyone. Sorry for the push backs!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] gonintendo:
Sounds great! Google music was basically the only thing keeping me from switching to wp full time (considering the lack of expandable memory on most phones). I'd be willing to pay good money for your app. If you're putting it up for free, expect a donation coming your way.

P.S. this is kind of off-topic, but for a WP noob like myself, what is the microsoft review process like for the marketplace from the perspective of a developer? (compared to android and ios)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
Hey snickler, is there some way we can implement a "mock-up" database for design purposes?

As I can easily finish the UI in a couple of days... but unfortunately I still am not able to get the app running. Whatever I tried, no results showed up in the versions I build on my machine.

Or maybe I can send you my build at the end of every day and you build a xap which I can than test and make adjustmenst accordingly?

Not ideal, but doable (anyway I would prefer the mockup data, if not to hard to do, maybe an export of your database? You can access it trough WP Powertools, and than somewhere make a boolean which loads the hardcoded mockup database).

People let me tell you something, this app is going to be awesome! and its going to be well worth the wait!

It's code complete, we are just tuning up the UI to makeit not only work awesome but also look awesome!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
Sure thing. I can do that. I just fixed something that would've blown up the app due to freaking LINQ. GroupBY = Slow. Making an IEqualityComparer for Distinct == QUICK!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] nwskipro:
can't wait!
