OK: I think I figured it out. The album (meaning all tracks with the same album artist) can have different artists in different tracks. However, if the artist in the first track doesn't match the album artist, then it doesn't pull cover art to WPS (or widget and is otherwise generally not working 100%.) This is true even if all the tracks have the same artist. If it's different from the album artist, it's no good.

Can you check that?

---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

No difference here. You don't happen to have replaygain settings in your music; do you? That is the only change I can think of in XenoAmp that might give a perception of a change in sound quality, since it affects output volume.

BTW; Don't think I've had a chance to tell you, Ssuukk - it seems to be working flawlessly! Another XenoAmp differentiator. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] bababar:
hey agilit

whats replaygain ?

i dont remember this in xenos options
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
If you don't know, then you almost assuredly don't have it. ;)

Replaygain is a way of adjusting the dynamic output of an audio track during playback so that the perceived loudness remains constant track to track. You have to run your audio files through a processor that analyzes them and then saves the calculated adjustment factor back in the track to be used by the handful of audio players capable of utilizing the information.

Hey Ssuukk: If you or anyone you know is up to editing Wikipedia, you should get XenoAmp listed in the collection of Android compatible players.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I can tell you this, the only thing that "Be my master" did is allowing xeno to add 1 to system (master) volume, which now happens automatically anyway. I am using pretty good swiss-made Phonak Audeo canal headphones and I haven't noticed any difference. And my hearing is pretty good, I'm an audiophile, you know. Mind that sickness with running nose may indeed change your hearing.

OK, if you want full explanation, search this thread, but here's just a digest.

Android has 16 step volume (0-15). Bad. Internally though you may apply arbitrary scale to your media stream (for example to Justin_Beiber_Lick_My_Pussy.mp3), by applying a value from 0 (silence) to 0.9999999999999999999 (full scale). This makes things tricky, as:

Android volume @15 and XenoVolume in the middle (let's say) 0.5

IS EQUIVALENT TO

Android volume @8 and XenoVolume at 0.999999999999999999999

The most obvious and easy solution would be to set system volume always to 15 and forget about it altoghether. Unfortunately some users (for a reason) don't want their system volume to be suddenly ramped by xenoamp to 15, because that can make you deaf on some devices.

So what happened previously, xeno didn't touch your system volume, unless you enabled "Be my master" and pressed volume up, when xeno volume was 0.9999999999999999999. That would add +1 to system volume and do nothing with xeno volume. Causing again much confustion on why do we need two volume scales...

Currently it is transparent. You won't notice that there are two scales, but still, when xenoamp volume level display is at max you will hear the sound with max possible volume, that is:

system volume @15 and xenoamp volume @0.999999999999999999999999

So unless I f*cked up something with logarythmic scale I would attribute your perceived change of quality to placebo effect... But I might be wrong...

Can I explain, too?

Remember when you're driving your car and listening to a playlist you've created yourself? Does it make you angry that one song is quiet and another booms like thunder, although you don't touch your volume dial? That's because they were recorded with different volume levels. Replaygain makes them sound at equal volume. That's it. But this info has to be embedded in your tags.

Heee, heee... Done!
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Perfect hint, I'm looking at it right now.

EDIT: and solved. Are you working for IT by chance?

P.S.: I am looking for a nice English equivalent (best: idiom) for Polish saying "gadaj z dupą, to cię osra", which literally means: "[if] talk with [an] asshole and you will get crapped on".

replaygain & xeno audio quality

good morninig buisy bees .

agilit and ssuukk thanx for the elaborated explanation, learned something new and its always good.

i accept that it might be my current hearing after all im still recovering from a lung infection.

one thing to raise the doubt , i am medicly prooved to have "bat ears" , about 10 years ago i went through extensive tests ( never mind the reason)

and a hearing test found i had exceptional hearing , actually the doc said im like a dog and cat in one :D.

im no stranger to high def audio as well, was installing high end stereo as a proffession when i was younger, much younger.

ssuukk if you still have older apk`s ,prior to 0.150 i would be happy to check it because mine were deleted when i crashed my sysytem.

the reason i ask for an old apk is also for headphone calib test which i remmember in these older versions gave me a nice flipped omega and not allmost flat eq.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Hmmmm... What can I say - all changes that were done to get rid of dual volume scale were not connetcted in any way to headphone calibrator! The only thing I've changed there was to set system (0-15 volume scale) to some safe level like 10% below maximum, assuming that full amp volume may introduce harmonic distortion and give bad test results. So if your profession was installing high end maybe you can tell me if my assumption was wrong? Can I assume that your device amp response curve @15 is the same like at i.e. 13?

EDIT: BUT, by any chance - do you change your device ROMs sometimes?
[Android Apps and Games] bababar:
ver. 0.182 & avast

been playing for a few minutes with the new ver. and had some problems to report but after 15 minutes or so of testing avast reported that xenoamp is malware:

"trojan detected - android : fakeinst-ey [trj] "

i uploaded a false positive report.

i suggest u will do the same to prevent further problems.

i think its avast ****ty update or something because it just identified whatsapp as malware and rockbox apk as well...

sorry for the false alarm,going to uninstall that ****ty app. ( avast )
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Android avast? Hmmm... Strange. It doesn't happen here.
[Android Apps and Games] vinandy:
it is showing 30 malwares on my android phone right now. it can't be all false reporting??? maybe it's not because of this app specifically.
[Android Apps and Games] msamuels:
Strange I'm also getting this in Avast but for the Kindle app 'Amazon Kindle has been reported as malware (Android:FakeInst-EY[Trj])

I think it may be a fault with the latest Avast update.
[Android Apps and Games] bababar:
avast

it is false positives

for sure

just scanned the files avast flagged with bitdefender and avast from a linux comp via usb, nothing ...

just remove/ disable for now.

---------- Post added at 01:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------

i didnt say it had to do with headphone clibrator, i just remember for sure that in older versions i got a totaly different resault in eq curve.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I'll set audiogram volume to full then and we'll see... So did you change your ROM?
[Android Apps and Games] bababar:
i upgraded the android version from 4.04 to 4.1.2 but the rom is still samsungs stock tw.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Well it might be stock, it might be Samsung, but too often I have seen changed volume and audio behaviours across roms!

But most importantly - did last fix fix it finally?
[Android Apps and Games] bababar:
if by fix u mean that the player works and dont fc then yes it works but there are problems..

in wps when swiping foreward it doesnt stop at the last track, when i swipe foreward from the last track wps shows " long touch here" and swiping back takes me to the first track swiping foreward again just shows "long touch..." again.

skipping tracks from xenos lockscreen control shows the same behaviour.

in music view, long rows swiping is erratic , i need to swipe very gently or else the music menu "jumps" a few rows up.also touching the album that is far right in the edge of the screen behaves the same ( jumps up a few rows ).

long touch on a track name and choosing play not working.

and.... just got fc while playing with music menu...

im doing all this while working...

will post a logcat later.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Long touch is not longer supported, except WPS :) Right edge ist the index, from alef to... don't know. But it's for quick scrolling.
[Android Apps and Games] bababar:
i use english interface, i dont see any index where it should be but it makes sense that its there because of the behaviour..
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
Yep; although just a paper pusher these days. There was a point in my career where they actually let me touch code. :D

Hmm... good one! There's not a common idiom I can think of which is that expressive and has the same meaning. Maybe the closest is the quote from the movie Forrest Gump - "Stupid is as stupid does". [/QUOTE]
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Do you really need to see index?
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
I would vote 'yes'; at least to something similar to what I think happens on most phones when you scroll through your contact list or in similar apps - once you start a fast scroll, it gives a visual indicator of how far you've gone.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
I know and I have no problem with it, but still you can see row names, which show how far you've gone! What's the value of added letters on the right side of screen?
[Android Apps and Games] twish.dm:
like this)
[Android Apps and Games] bababar:
personally i dont need it. i just thought that by index u meant actual letters.

another thing about the new version, i was listening to music while i was away and the player stopped playing twice ( totaly ramndom no pattern ) at the end of a track on two different albums. no crash or something just had to press play again.

as for long touch not being supported anymore, it still pops the menu in music>album tracks. i used it and like it. so from now only double tapping an album would play it ?
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
In music view double tap an album to play it, as it was before :)

With stopping it would be rather impossible to guess what happened without a logcat...

Re: [APP][2.3+] XenoAmp 0.182 (21032013) - A Slightly Different Audio Player

I dont think i can logcat this behaveour because it is quite random.

I just had another skip track issue where after the last track xeno skips to "long touch.." message, this time in lockscreen ctl.
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
It doesn't have to be letters. It wouldn't even make sense if you grouped by genre or year.

However, If by seeing row names you mean that the display is changing as you scroll, then that is not happening on Android 2.3.5. Nothing changes until you stop scrolling and arrive at your destination; then poof! you see the new display for where you arrived. All I'm looking for is some sort of indication as I scroll of approximately where I am in the list.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
RELEASE 0.183

Fix: music view horizontal scrolling finally fixed

Fix: empty row in music view on some devices, requires total uninstall (sorry!)

Fix: cover missing on mixed-artist albums

EDIT: sorry, forgot to change version number, you'll have to uninstall 0.182 or wait until tomorrow for a fix.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
OH! I didn't realise that! It's realtime here... strange, strange, strange... OK, then, I'll add some indicator.
[Android Apps and Games] AGiLiT:
Downloaded through Tapatalk and it installed just fine over old .182.

and YES! missing cover art on mixed artist albums working. I'm not even sure what the first bug was about, so can't confirm that. NEver had the second problem.
[Android Apps and Games] bababar:
i did clean install and still see ver 0.182.

does it matter or it only cosmetics ?

---------- Post added at 07:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 PM ----------

music view :

when tapping a blue backround flickers.

long tap on track>play still dont work ( it does work in file menu ).

wps:

on first track i played after doubletapping the album in music view swiping for next track caused fc.

wps & lockscreen :

swiping the last track forward still produces the error i reported before where "long touch here" appears on top of the album art, pressing back on lockscreen and swiping back in wps takes me to the first track of the dynamic playlist and stays there , ie only the first track is playable and pressing or swiping forward respectivly produces "long touch here" .

a full logcat i recorded during the fc i mentioned is attached.
[Android Apps and Games] th3raid0r:
Interesting bug

So, I am completely new to XenoAmp. I am loving it so far, but there have been a few hurdles.

So on a brand new install with 0.183, I try to set up the Google Music sync since my Droid DNA doesn't have much storage. As it turns out, playing a remote google music song doesn't create the dynamic playlist file, it however requires that it exist in order to play. Additionally, if you choose to "Play and Add", it will FC if the dynamic playlist isn't there.

A current workaround that I have found, is to play any local audio file. This creates the dynamic playlist file and then Google Music songs will successfully play.

Otherwise, this is my new favorite music player along side Spotify. Goodbye Poweramp.

music menu sorting

in music menu sorting doesnt realy works.

the order of albums stays the same ( by artist ) the main headline of each row stays the artist name what changes is the bottom description where album name shuld be according to the sorting option i choose : genere, year...

i attached screenshots, only local and only online are the same.
[Android Apps and Games] drekybaby:
go to a music file and select a song via any explorer and when it asks how to open choose xenoamp....... it wwill create a playlist of that folder......... havent played with much but i like so far
[Android Apps and Games] Hairo The Blue Mage:
Nice... Any way to disable fullscreen??

[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Conting on you!

It is slow only on machines with forced hardware acceleration, believe me it is quite fluent even on 500 MHz machines, so if you have a problem with frame rate, turn of hw accel or ask you rom creator to do it! The sound is as loud as it gets, as your combination of hardware and headphone impedance allows. If other players play it louder it means that they either employ acoustic compression or preprocess your audio data to make it louder ant that can introduce clipping and all sorts of audio artefacts. As soon as XenoAmp gets rockbox engine you will be able to destroy your sound any way you like!

Have you put anything into your playlist? Have you read instructions on first page? Have you watched youtube vid?

Lyrics searching isnt't smart, it is in fact very sensitive to spelling mistakes and of course it won't work if you have bad tags. The track needs at least title and artist to be found!

And what does that mean?! :D
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
Summing up bugs and tips:

There is a problem, that I cannot go from playlist screen back to main screen without playing music. Pressing back key, after I e.g. enabled my BT headphones in settings then switched back to app puts me back to BT settings menu...which is frustrating. Add some sort of gesture or key for general in-app back.

Disable lock

Completely disable ratings; I personally don't rate my music, and I find it annoying to keep rating every time my finger comes across the title...

Add all music to playlist. Useful if I just want to shuffle through the whole library.

Enable sharing

One feature suggestion, if there's an online database of some sort (Last.Fm's database springs to mind as an example) of similar types of music then perhaps i could click one of my artists and assemble a random playlist from similar artists' music i own.

Next release will be mainly a bugfix release, thanks to big userbase I have now a massive amount of bugreports. Thanks XDA!

Well, just testing it here on my Willy (LDPI @710MHz) and already like it (the concept anyway). Sure, the UI isn't optimised for legacy devices but I guess that won't happen with any new apps (glad to see that there are any who don't need a GPU to run lol). Haven't tested everything until now and might be back with a report. Thanks so far for a nice new player.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
There will be some tutorial movies later, hope they'll help, esp. people who don't know what to do with "playlist empty"... :)

Tell me what is the problem on legacy devices? Just too big fonts? Anything else?

What about song selection? How do you do It?

[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
Another suggestion. It seems as if the app just builds up the art database from a to z, deleting old art on lower end devices. Or so it seems to me.

This causes some slight problems: if I just stare at the DB for a few minutes, an album that had no cover suddenly gets a cover. Which is supposed to happen, but shouldn't take more than a few seconds (it takes up to 5 minutes ATM).

Also, the notification/widget doesn't fetch the art of the currently playing song again. Instead, it (seems to) just rely on the existing "cache", which causes no cover art to appear. It would be neat if you could add some force check on song start to make sure cover art is displayed correctly, and display the default cover when none is found instead of not displaying anything.

Another annoying thing: the preferences. I guess they're supposed to be funny, but TBQH, not only most of them are cut (can only see half of the text), they're also seriously hard to understand for some. Using some french isn't very helpful, either (I speak it; others don't).

You might want to consider writing an actual, fully explained, documentation (I can do it; PM me if interested) to put in the OP (how to use, explanation of different screens,etc).

---------- Post added at 12:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------

I've noticed that you didn't understand a suggestion I made. I should have been more clear.

What I mean by this is to disable the lockscreen when XenoAmp is open, only dimming the screen instead. Obviously, it can be easily turned on/off, and optionally set to auto-on if phone is charging.
[Android Apps and Games] ssuukk:
It doesn't touch anything, for time being no changes are done to your files. XenoAmp just diseegards covers smaller than 300x300 as they would surely look ugly. I may make it a preference, though. What do you think?

Well - there's a good reason for that. The service I am using for covers is rather sensitive and doesn't like when is queried too often. May change in the future, though.

Well, yes. That's a fixable bug.

Well the preferences are annoying, because they don't do anything and are written gibberish. On purpose. When they will be ready and you play with them it will become obvious what they do. One evening I just felt that standard preferences like "Pause when jack off" (pun intended) felt out of place in a program that looks like Xenoamp. Oh and I doubt the word "Patheteque" even exists in French, does it, by any chance?

I will, I will also prepare some tutorial movies, but if you're native English speaker, your help would be much appreciated.

Aaaaawright. Got it! Another preference.

Most... Complicated... Player... Ever.... But its :cool:. Will take a while to get used to though. The player turns silent mode off on my phone automatically, I have to minimise the app to 're-silent mode' my phone. If I dont do that, the player will randomly ramp thr volume up to max and back to normal for a split second. Also, room correction force closes the player. Lol cool player seriously, what I mentioned earlier are the only bugs I can find. Yes I know it is in beta, that's why I am reporting bugs :). Great player keep it up \m/
