This is a truly great app..

I have been using it for a few days now and I wrote a review:

Hyped Music Android App Review
[Android Apps and Games] garrettcorn:
thanks this looks good dling now :D
[Android Apps and Games] ~Phil~:
How about a "This song you might also like" feature?

Sorry for bad English didn't know how-to express myself..

Phil
[Android Apps and Games] jasonpugatch:
Thanks for the feedback everyone! I really appreciate it.

Posted to reddit!

The popular songs list is a feature that will be coming soon -- hopefully within the next month or so.

Player and volume controls are also being improved.

My team is continually trying to improve. Please continue to post feedback and share new ideas :)
[Android Apps and Games] jasonpugatch:
Awesome idea! My team put this on the todo list:)

New version 1.1.1 released!

What's new in this version:

Version 1.1.1: Minor bug fixes. Music is paused when user receives a call and plays once call is over. Music is also paused when headphones are removed from audio jack.

Offline playlists are coming soon!
[Android Apps and Games] undercover:
Thank you. Great app.

Just food for thought. Once you start allowing a cache, won't this app just become a tool for illegal downloads?
[Android Apps and Games] jasonpugatch:
Thanks for the feedback:) The cache feature is something that we are still doing research on.
[Android Apps and Games] jasonpugatch:
Yes, like Luke said,

New version 1.1.1 released!

I hope you get it right guys. I don't care how it works tbh, as long as you don't get into trouble and get shut down. :)
[Android Apps and Games] lukezli:
the folder is going to be protected so it's only accessible via the app. of course, i'm sure some smart hackers could get across whatever encryption i set, but its the same thing as getting music illegally from spotify's cache- the onus is on them for illegal activity, not hypedmusic.
[Android Apps and Games] jasonpugatch:
Well put Luke

^^^^ this please do your research i'll hate to see it go down

great app btw loving it.

one question.

why do you need this permision?

PHONE CALLS

READ PHONE STATE AND IDENTITY

Allows the app to access the phone features of the device. An app with this permission can determine the phone number and serial number of this phone, whether a call is active, the number that call is connected to and the like.
[Android Apps and Games] undercover:
To pause the music when someone calls you
[Android Apps and Games] Smokeey:
Loving it! But I have some feedback!

It is force closing when I switch around in apps! (Android 4.1.1 CM10 Galaxy Nexus)

Please add notification controls!

Please add app hierarchy! (menu system, etc, I keep having to sit there for 5 min pressing back just to go to my playlist)

Last.FM Scrobbling?

Settings?

Great job though! Hope you have no legal troubles!
[Android Apps and Games] damonsmith666:
Just to let you know, on the ATRIX if I freeze and then defrost the app using tibu then the search function no longer opens up if I click it, all the other functions still work though, odd!
[Android Apps and Games] jasonpugatch:
My team and I will look into that issue immediately. Thanks for the feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] jasonpugatch:
Thanks for the feedback smokeey. My team will put your suggestions on our todo list; I think you have some great ideas:)
[Android Apps and Games] lukezli:
Hey guys, some of you guys were wondering if HypedMusic is really legal. I finally got around to putting up our official DMCA info page, which confirms to DMCA policy, allowing users to take down copyrighted materials from the site with proof. This protects our site under DMCA law, so no worries there :) There's also an explanation on the bottom of the page for those of you who want to know how the site/app works and exactly why we are legal- the link is hypedmusic.com/legal.php (Unfortunately, as a new user, I can't post dofollow links), and the explanation is the bottom of the page. Offline playlists are coming really really soon guys- the only thing that sucks about being in high school is that I have to finish all my hw until i can get to the coding :) but I'd keep my eye posted for the offline playlist update at the end of this week. Thanks a lot guys, and please share with all your friends! Lots of cool features coming up soon! Keep posting feedback and stuff to the thread- I read all your stuff and believe me, I'll get around to implementing all of it!

Thanks again!

It seems to close itself when i use it while opening others apps. Is it just me or a bug from the app?
[Android Apps and Games] bleached45:
Must say, I like this app.

I agree that there needs to be a hierarchy, press back to go to the menu, and not your last 10 searches.

I would also love to see the option to remove duplicates from a search.

And also maybe album sorting (when searching an artist) in the search.

A landscape layout would be cool too, a little awkward in portrait on a 10inch tablet. Lol.

Thanks for a great music app.

Was only doing basic HTML in high school... so holy crap guys, amazing work.

The ui is very slick.

:good:
[Android Apps and Games] jasonpugatch:
My team will look into this. Thanks for the feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] jasonpugatch:
Thanks bleached 45. Removing duplicates is something we are researching -- bought issue to tackle. I also agree with your hierarchy idea. Album sorting is being developed right now.

Thanks for the feedback:)
[Android Apps and Games] StephenC82:
Looks good.

I would echo the requests for album sorting or search for album.

Good Work.
[Android Apps and Games] storm11:
Awesome app, try adding lyrics
[Android Apps and Games] crazaytalent:
I concurr with a lot of the sentiments... great work guys

I see mention of other songs you might like feature;

an "other artist you might like" would also be nice.

And yes a filter for the duplicates.

Also it's be cool to have a way to have in app purchase for the music we like

so that we can have full downloading and offline ownership and access. Although that request might be too complicated :-\
[Android Apps and Games] jonny68:
Thanks for your efforts but i cant see any settings options, it seems quote a basic interface to me without any settings option
[Android Apps and Games] Sean_Seany:
Hi jason,

So what information of mine is stored on your servers ? IP addy etc.Please correct me if i am wrong , but basically you are a streaming search engine for music , same as the pirate bay is a search engine for torrents ? I have no problems using "search engines " behind a VPN lol.

You mentioned you are covered as a "safe harbour", what about the end users , what protection would cover us.

Great looking app by the way :good:
[Android Apps and Games] lukezli:
haha I don't store any personal information of yours... no IP, nothing. piratebay is iffy because it allows users to download illegal content, while hypedmusic does not, it only plays music on the web that others have put up.

the safe harbour protects hypedmusic and by extension end users... the website is completely legal!

luke
[Android Apps and Games] timekeeper:
I just tried it and am quite impressed. Also, by the willingness of the developer(s) to engage with the users. All I would suggest is what has already been said, some way to filter or maybe merge duplicates into a second level dropdown? If you search for an artist, not all the songs that are available show because of the multitudes of song copies.

Some extra ideas, maybe lockscreen controls and maybe Play/Pause buttons in the notification dropdown? Love the way it auto-fetches album art and the audio quality.
[Android Apps and Games] jonny68:
I like it but the lack of a settings option is not good but credit to the developer anyway for his work :good:

HypedMusic Offline Playlist Support!!!

Hey guys, I spent my whole afternoon working on this , promised it'd be out by the end of the week so here you go!

HypedMusic v1.2.0- Offline playlist support!

If you have data limits or simply want your music to stream faster, consider downloading the playlists for offline listening! There is a mark on the top left corner for playlists that have been downloaded, although it only works when the activity is reloaded- I'll get around to fixing this really soon.

I did a couple things to make illegal stealing of the music files harder, and to prevent other music player applications from accessing hypedmusic's music files, so listening to the offline playlists are only accessible through hypedmusic.

This is a new new feature, so there might be some bugs- feedback appreciated!

Next up:

1. offline album art, small and large

2. Progress bar for downloads, not just plain text

3. Ability to pause downloads

Also, I haven't tested for compatibility for two stages: API levels 1-8 and API levels 9-11. There is no download support for API 1-8 (smaller than 2.3), I put in a small message for that case, could anyone check if I did that correctly? I couldn't check with my emulator, and I own 4.0.3. for 9-11, can users check if an extra download progress bar pops up for individual songs? That's supposed to happen, I can't suppress that in APIs 9-11 (2.3-less than 3.0) so if you could confirm that's whats happening I'd be grateful, for those of you who own those devices.

Any bugs you see with the new features, etc? Recommendation on offline playlists or app in general are really appreciated! I really do listen to user input and get them done (my last two updates were gotten directly from this thread!)

Thanks a lot guys, I hope you like the new feature- the offline playlists make music listening a lot more seamless :)

P.S. I just published this new version to the play store 10 minutes ago, so if it still shows v1.1.1 wait an hour or so and the updated version should be up! :)

Thanks a lot guys, keep the awesome feedback coming!

[Android Apps and Games] Smokeey:
Updated and I believe I successfully cached 26 songs. (Android 4.1.1, which is API 16?)

Edit: cached music can be played in Play Music app.
[Android Apps and Games] damonsmith666:
anyone else get a fc when they click download on a playlist? on the atrix with android 2.3
[Android Apps and Games] lukezli:
Hmm very strange that play music can detect it, I havs a .nomedia file and changed the file extension...

For the person with 2.3 if you could report problem and leave a message saying downloads caused it that'd be great so I can view stack trace

Thanks, at the same time of stumbling upon this app, you guys gave me the answer I was looking for, for how to play the music in the google music player which is the only one I use. That was nice.

[Android Apps and Games] damonsmith666:
Are there any plans to create an in app option that only allows the app to connect to the internet if the phone is connected to wifi like in the app "dood's music streamer"

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] lukezli:
Thanks, Pretty sure i fixed it in version 1.2.1, download it once it updates please and tell me if it works!

haha google play is not supposed to be able to detect it, i'll have to encrypt it better. sorry :(
[Android Apps and Games] damonsmith666:
Ill kepp checking for updates, you know of any way I can keep this app to wifi only? Droidwall wouldn't work
[Android Apps and Games] ~Phil~:
Auto sync @wifi would be a awesome feature .
[Android Apps and Games] damonsmith666:
latest update has fixed the download issue on gingerbread, thanks!

---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

ps just for anyone that was wondering about making this app wifi only then I used avast
[Android Apps and Games] lukezli:
Autosyncing sounds like a great idea! so does option for wifi only. The big issue with implementing all these features you guys have been asking for is that I don't know where to put an options button/menu. I don't want to use the hardware button, as I've heard it won't be consistently supported in future Androids, and I can't find space to put it. If you guys have got any good ideas, I'd love to hear them!

Just released v1.2.2 (may take some time to update to Play store). Tried to make playlist downloading more consistent over different android versions and tried to fix errors when downloads fail. Also, I think I've prevented Music apps from accessing my files- can you guys check if this is true?

And keep the suggestions coming guys!!!

Oh and sorry, you're going to have to uninstall the application completely to get rid of the old media files- I have a new format so if you've downloaded music previously you're going to have to uninstall, then redownload the app+playlists :(

Thanks a lot!

Luke
[Android Apps and Games] ~Phil~:
At the startscreen on the right corner should be much space, or?
[Android Apps and Games] undercover:
In fact, i would prefer my preferred music app to be able to access your files, simply because of better/different equaliser settings. However that might not be very copyright friendly from your side guys, but i am not sure about all the implications.

Regarding menu button, why not just add a little cog button next to playlists add buton? Also, UI seems a bit dated, although very clean. I would keep it light, but add few highlights here and there in holo (ics blue) colour.

Good job so far guys. Got a friend of mine using your app :)

Edit. Ah, accessing cache is no use really as you don't see their names. Shame, i'd love to listen to them files with Beats enabled.

Everttime the app updates my firewall stops working to stop the app using 3g, is there something that keeps changing that would do this?
[Android Apps and Games] lukezli:
In the last couple of updates I was changing the location of where the cache was stored, I'm not sure if it matters to the restriction app you're using, but it shouldn't happen any more. Regarding placement of "settings" button on the top right- I do like that position, but I'm also planning on adding a home screen button. Do you guys think having a home, add, settings, and search button on the top would be too crowded?

Thanks for the kind words guys, keep the suggestions coming!

Luke
[Android Apps and Games] undercover:
Nope, it would be perfectly fine imho.

Also, i really really miss lockscreen controls and some EQ.
[Android Apps and Games] lukezli:
ok, expect home screen + options in next release!

What should I have in options?

Wifi connections only, volume control, ??? additional options ideas would be appreciated!

lockscreen im working on; and sorry, what exactly is EQ?

Thanks,

Luke
[Android Apps and Games] loop4444:
EQ-equalizer, enabling you to change how the audio output will sound and fine tune it :D
[Android Apps and Games] undercover:
For the settings. Well, whatever settings there are and will be added in the future. Like :

WiFi only dl

Auto-sync

Ideas for the future.

On WiFi only download and cache as you play.

EQ settings

Min bitrate maybe? That would he sweet.

Any way to find the exact source of the music you're playing from?

How does it work so it's legal?

In Germany you need to pay the GEMA extra if you want to offer any music to users.

That's why we don't have things like Pandora or Grooveshark.

Hypedmusic is completely legal, even in Germany- it is almost identical, too say, listening to a song on Tumblr, which I'm sure is not illegal in Germany. The explanation is on www.hypedmusic.com/legal.php.

I'm planning on adding a top charts feature on my next release of the site/app next week- any ideas where I should place the charts button?

Thanks a lot, keep the suggestions coming guys!

Luke
[Android Apps and Games] ~Phil~:
At the upper left corner would be nice..
[Android Apps and Games] damonsmith666:
Id have a "chart" option inside the search. If you have used "dude's music " then you will see what I mean.
[Android Apps and Games] undercover:
I'd have chart as a predefined playlist.
[Android Apps and Games] seanpr123:
Love the chart idea, would you be able to break down into sub categories based off some Google/database search?

Playlist would work, or just utilize the Menu button for some additions features.

Would also like landscape support, that's how my phone is set all day at work.
[Android Apps and Games] jojoost:
I'm sorry to say that there's a hole in it which makes it able to download the music for free using this app --> this app interferes with copyrights and stuff.. just saying for the app developer. Oh and BTW, you don't need root for the "hole".
[Android Apps and Games] seanpr123:
Well instead of advertising to the world why don't you PM the OP and fill him in on the details...
[Android Apps and Games] jojoost:
Done
[Android Apps and Games] lukezli:
Thank you for your pm and concern. As I stated previously, encryption is a difficult thing and anyone properly motivated could break any encryption I set. Now, as it currently stands, no music player can detect the music I'm playing, which I deemed sufficient for the time being. Someone would have to actively attempt, as you did, to try to access the files, and even then the id3 tags are messed up so the files are of limited use. I am planning on improving the encryption, but right now I have already placed barriers so typical users can not use the app as a download tool, you'd have to do specific things to access the files. The legality has to do with a reasonable effort put forth to encrypt the files, which, because I wanted to release the feature quickly, I thought was sufficient. I'll definitely try to improve it in the next build. Your pm although appreciated wasn't necessary- I wrote the code, thus I obviously knew what to do to access the music. If this seems to be a huge issue for other users I can put it as a high priority issue, but its annoying as a high school student with limited time because I want to give users cool features like charting auto syncing etc., rather than better encrypting files so programmers/hackers have to work harder to access my files.
[Android Apps and Games] msavic6:
Your doing an amazing job can't wait for you to add charts. :)
[Android Apps and Games] jasonpugatch:

Scrobble to last.fm would be a nice feature.

Also maybe charts via genre? Because the usual chart lists of music apps are always filled with horrible songs.

hi mate, thanks for this great app. But i cant install to my galaxy nexus on jb 4.1.1

it says " uncomptable with your device " in google play store.

what can i do?
[Android Apps and Games] lukezli:
hey, does the galaxy nexus have sd card support?
[Android Apps and Games] undercover:
No.

surely you can make it work. I guess you specified that it must be sd-card. Should be easy enough to change it to external storage, which is both sd and part of internal storage allocated for pics and stuff on sd-cardless phones.
[Android Apps and Games] lukezli:
I did specify external storage only, but in the manifest file it requires "sd card" support. I'm not sure that's the issue though- Android's refer to the "sd card" support even if there is no external sd card, as long as there's space allocated for it. I'll have to check why it doesn't work on the Nexus- what country do you live in?
[Android Apps and Games] undercover:
It works for me on my Sensation :)

Was only brainstorming :D

See, transformer prime had sd-card and external storage IIRC.
[Android Apps and Games] lukezli:
yeah I know thanks a lot for brainstorming :) its weird, i haven't had device incompatibility complaints before, especially for such a new phone- that's why I figure it must be something required in the permissions, which doesn't make much sense, or he lives in somewhere where its not allowed? neither idea makes much sense, really confusing. I'll have to look into this issue.

[Android Apps and Games] Krep3:
Previously I decided to uninstall the app because sometimes it was very hard to quit even if I close it it would still remain active, yesterday I decided to give it another chance and it's working fine for me now. I really like the app the only sugestión would be to add an option where if I press the option menu it offers me an option to quit the app just to be sure that the app isn't running.
[Android Apps and Games] lukezli:
Thanks a lot man! Well, I could have an option to "absolutely" close the app, but as long as there's no notification on the top bar that shows a song playing or a playlist getting downloaded, its not really necessary- you can be sure the app is not using up any data or wasting any system resources.
