By any means, this is probably not the BEST alternative, but I would give a shout out to AwesomeBEATS for an equalizer. It's built in [you flash it] and it allows you to customize different scenarios [headphones, bluetooth, ringer, etc]. The benefit of something like this allows you to use different music players without having to rely on in-app equalizers - some have them, some don't. This also allows the dev to concentrate on other things with the app instead of spending time trying to develop an equalizer that pleases everyone. This is a great music app. Let the equalizer dev's do the equalizer for you. Let this dev continue to make a great music player.

Just my two cents.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
When I say fake beats, I mean stuff like this. This is the cyanogenmod DSP manager with different resources IIRC
[Android Apps and Games] gab1972:
I knew that's what you meant, but whether you use cyanogenmod DSP, AwesomeBEATS, BeatsMEGA, TotallyFrackingAwesomeRipYourBrainOutSoundzMod, etc...to me, they make trying out different music players easier because I don't have to wonder if that music player has an EQ or not. ZPlayer or PlayerPro might sound awesome utilizing their EQ, but if I downloaded a new music player like this one that didn't have an EQ, I couldn't give it a fair sound review. A "fake beats" mod simplifies this.

To each his own, I guess.

If the dev makes an EQ, at least give the ability to turn it off for those of use that like DSP managers.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
+1, that's the one reason I dropped PowerAmp for Play Music and now Now Playing originally
[Android Apps and Games] shaftenberg:
Use correct headphones and you don't need an EQ...

My god, what are we talking about here? Provide bug reports with information to help the dev sorting them out. Feature requests aren't in the right place at this time I think. That's something for the future.
[Android Apps and Games] hospos:
Still testing, so far working great.

Many thanks Dev!
[Android Apps and Games] gab1972:
I'm getting FC's when skipping tracks within the player. I'm using the latest beta version that was posted on the G+ page. Attached is my logcat that will hopefully help you figure out what's going on.
[Android Apps and Games] KreAch3R:
I am using the latest version, NowPlaying7.apk. I don't know if they have been mentioned before, but:

"Sleep Timer" doesn't work, it just forwards to the Settings page

The "Settings" page doesn't have a header (the one that you press and go back). I think the previous version had a "Settings" one.
[Android Apps and Games] adil17:
Does this app have a notification bar player? Cause I don't see one... Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] rrroach:
It's far easier to use an EQ to tune the audio to your liking than it is to try out dozens of headphones to find the one with the right balancing.
[Android Apps and Games] Jack Underwood:
Thanks for the log. Pretty sure i've fixed it in my local build.
[Android Apps and Games] germanj:
Did you get a chance to try the bug where the keyboard keeps showing up following a song search? Including when skipping tracks. Happens both on SwiftKey and stock keyboard
[Android Apps and Games] cybervibin:
Yes I know,I use dsp, but on a low end device when I am listening to music and I start to play a game the dsp closes so that have more free ram
[Android Apps and Games] IllBill:
Love the app..the only issue iv had with the last 2 builds is that i have double and sometimes triple of the same song files display in the songs second for an artist. Once i get to the actual album content it shows normally..
[Android Apps and Games] Civiuz:
Amazing app! But it has the greatest hits bug! Example: when i open Bruce Springsteen's Greatest Hits it shows me Blink 182's Greatest Hits!
[Android Apps and Games] Bench89:
Force Close

1. Albums in landscape mode

2. Choose any album

3. Album shows up in portrait mode even if the phone is sidewards

4. Go back --> Force Close

Attached is my Logcat! Hopefully it helps you.
[Android Apps and Games] 21vm:
Very good app but without the ability to browse by folder, it seems incomplete to me... And the option to choose between automatic cover (via internet) or the one associated with the id3tag would be great.

Thanks for your app btw !
[Android Apps and Games] boom_bee:
Still fc like crazy on my stock s3
[Android Apps and Games] KevinGee:
it works perfectly on my S3. Not had a force closure ever
[Android Apps and Games] gab1972:
I can confirm that I get the same FC doing the exact same thing as above. Only difference is that on mine, it FC's as soon as I select the album, I don't even have to press the back button.

---------- Post added at 08:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 AM ----------

Have you recently upgraded your ROM to 4.2.2? 4.2.2 caused another virtual folder to be created on your device. Mine did that at first because my music player was seeing both folders. You can correct this by using TWRP when flashing your new ROM. Search xda for more info.
[Android Apps and Games] chazbot7:
Loving the player, but I'm getting a very odd fluke: when playing music, if I turn the screen off and the next song comes on, it starts blasting out of the phone speaker, like it forgets the headphones are plugged in. Anyone else had this happen? As soon as I turn the screen back on and pick a new song, it switches back to headphones. I've checked it with other music players, never happens with them.

Stock Galaxy SIII, running NowPlaying7.
[Android Apps and Games] anerik:
Love this! Only FC i experienced on my live with walkman is sometimes when i try to use the widget... Hey, it would be awesome if you could let us add lyrics aswell to the cloud
[Android Apps and Games] nimrodity:
Still not my default player till albums aren't expanding directly in the artist view. (like player pro does for example)

It needs to many clicks right now to select a specific album if the artist has more than one

[Android Apps and Games] giannhs_n:
Awesome app,switched from Google play, light and clean...!!

only 2 "favours" sometimes music widget do not apear on status bar (no big deal)

And if you could add to query from search results would be awesome(I cant select nothing only to play the single track from the results).

I did upgrade to 4.2.2 and iv been using TWRP for a few months now. On Power Amp they show up at single songs. The songs don't show up multiple times.. I looked all over to see if another music folder and i dont.

Best Player Available

I just installed this on a Galaxy S Mesmerize (SPH-i500) running a Slim Bean ROM and I have to say, this player is better that anything else out there - including the paid apps! Thanks for the effort it took to put this thing together.
[Android Apps and Games] adil17:
How to mark a song as favorite? Cause I see no option to thumb up a song. Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] boom_bee:
When I go into the app and play a song it plays fine but when I click the next button it fc music keeps playing but the app itself closes
[Android Apps and Games] ActionBastardDV:
Hi,

This app looks great. Just wondering, would it be possible to have the app sort music files by folders? Is this something you could look at adding? If not, all good. The app is still better than most out there. I will def be using this from now on

Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] Ashley568:
Love the player it's as now replaced my stock. Only thing is needs a bigger widget like the sense music player
[Android Apps and Games] vieose:
Yeah, make a 4x4 Widget please :$

Just press 'thanks' and I know I helped the community c:
[Android Apps and Games] xeperset:
Excellent application, very nice theming to it and very smooth. Coming from someone with a very large collection of varied music - would it be easy to code in a way to view the music collection by Folder / Hierarchy ? This way I can have things organised how I want, i,e, Music > Rock > Other > Jethro Tull > Misc

Really fantastic otherwise, keep it up! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] FuriousFrodo:
I'd like a share option which is configurable:

[Android Apps and Games] Bastaerd:
Awesome work, making a usable player out of Apollo.

Would it be possible tot add ReplayGain?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Why do the album arts load much slower than they do in Play Music? This is the exact same reason why I never liked Apollo :/
[Android Apps and Games] gab1972:
I requested this from the dev on his Google+ page and he said it would be in the May 1st release.

---------- Post added at 08:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 AM ----------

I also had this issue. I sent the dev a logcat with that same issue and he said he's fixed that for his next build.
[Android Apps and Games] taranis17:
Saw this app mentioned on Lifehacker: http://lifehacker.com/5994359/now-playing-is-a-free-fast-good+looking-music-player-for-android

So far, I really like it! Everything I want, none of the bloat. Very, very nice!

Thanks OP!
[Android Apps and Games] boom_bee:
Sweet! Yeah i really like the app the simplicity and flow and look can't wait to get a stable build, this will definitely replace my stock player.
[Android Apps and Games] Racun:
So far, I really like this!!:good:
[Android Apps and Games] chris23445:
Not sure if the OP will read this, but is it possible for you to change something?

When I click an artist, it starts off by showing all of their songs. Is there a way you could change that, or have it as a setting so that when I click an artist, the first screen is their albums?

Just a suggestion.
[Android Apps and Games] Thr33Seed:
I love this app so far, are you going to add a scrobbling feature? That's the only thing lacking for me and Simple Last.FM scrobbler isn't working for this app
[Android Apps and Games] HTCore:
The folder browsing option has been asked for several times but developer has never given any output yet. I don't think he is going to implement the feature, sadly.
[Android Apps and Games] kapitanluffy:

Feature Request

Hi I'm using a Galaxy S2 with external SD card, and the app can't detect my music which I usually store on the external sdcard for the extra space. Would be great if you could expand the included folders for music. Awesome-looking app by the way.
[Android Apps and Games] wareju:
I wanted something similar and made playlists, which is surprisingly easy.

[Android Apps and Games] Jack Underwood:
Yeah i'll get this added. Maybe not in the next build, but definitely in the next few.
[Android Apps and Games] Ci-Fi:
+1 for a black theme and black widget.

EDIT: No request for a black widget anymore, tI found the transparent widget option.
[Android Apps and Games] Jack Underwood:
It's quite a large feature to implement. It won't be ready for the May 1st release, but it's something i will add at a later date.
[Android Apps and Games] Ci-Fi:
I have a another request besides a black theme - have a thumbnail of the album playing in the widget. Awesome player, btw.
[Android Apps and Games] Jack Underwood:
There should be a thumbnail for the opaque, large widget.
[Android Apps and Games] anerik:
Is there any feature in which we add our own lyrics? Maybe not to the cloud, but to the SD?
[Android Apps and Games] Bendary:
There is a weird bug with album art becoming too small in the now playing screen on beta 8, I'm back on beta 7.

can u make an option to remove tabs cz I only use the playlists tab, also there shouldn't be a search tab just a search icon.

The tab slider on the new play store looks much better instead of the old play music one.
[Android Apps and Games] Yahia700:
Awesome music player dude i will use it in every rom i use :D and am really thankfull because you made it free , you should still update him more and add some more music lyric , good luck for that
[Android Apps and Games] migmeil:
in the new update images are resized groups other than being smaller than in the previous version. I liked it much more earlier.
[Android Apps and Games] Ci-Fi:
Thanks. So there is a thumbnail for the large opaque widget but not the large transparent widget. I'm assuming this will be implemented soon enough. :D
[Android Apps and Games] ThePlasticBling:

[Android Apps and Games] gab1972:
Fast Forwarding FC issue still there.

Skipping through songs will at some point crash the UI. The app will FC but music will continue playing.
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
Just noticed something. If i try to listen to a music file from a file manager (Solid Explorer etc.), Now Playing will only open the last played song. It won't play the file.

Example:

- Opening Solid Explorer

- Taps on "Song Example.mp3"

- Now Playing opens

- Previously played song opens, but doesn't play.
[Android Apps and Games] anerik:
Hey, not so many FCs but i was getting them when i changed tracks on the widget and a F named song was coming like Fink - Warm Shadow... I believe it was the F, can't tell.
[Android Apps and Games] cybervibin:
Imma share this in my community
[Android Apps and Games] Jack Underwood:
There's no image on the transparent widget on purpose. I was trying to make it as unintrusive as possible.
[Android Apps and Games] Ci-Fi:
Ok. It would be great to have an option to have the thumbnail in the transparent widget, if at all possible.
[Android Apps and Games] Jack Underwood:
I'll add it to my todo list. But there's a few other features which are higher priority at the moment.
[Android Apps and Games] Jack Underwood:
I'm really struggling with the persistant playback problem. It's not effecting any of the devices i have!

Which device and which rom are you running? Do you get FCs?

Any info you or anyone else with this problem can provide will be greatly appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] bungknees:
Anyone else not getting album art on the widget? Running this on gnote 2, and using nova launcher. And using the latest beta9

Other than that it's a really nice audio player, will buy the official when it is released. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] jkgao:
I don't think the album art is supposed to show..
[Android Apps and Games] bungknees:
That'd be why then, I thought I'd seen a screen shot of the widget with album art, Maybe I'm going a bit mental, seeing things that ain't there.
[Android Apps and Games] iJimaniac:
Love the app, and I love how quickly you're sorting out the bugs! One feature request; the possibility to search my music library through the google search app (like you can with play music). I've been asking for that feature for months from the poweramp team, but I don't think they care very much about their app anymore.

I see something like this and it's only after the return of the settings, because normally I have a black screen.

I am not able to enter the currently playing screen. Black screen, but a trick with returning from the settings doesn't work - back button returns me to the app drawer with FC/wait/report popup.

As I said. Weird.

I cannot seem to find a box to check or the option for transparency anywhere? I have tried the settings in the main application, and nothing is there when adding the widget to my homescreen. What am I missing?

Nothing to see here. Move along.
[Android Apps and Games] DZYR:
Hi, I an currently using version 8. Unlike some people here I am yet to have a FC while using this app. It's clean, smooth and I really don't care much for a feature-filled but ugly, slow music app. So this is perfect.

I only have 1 issue to report. Using the transparent widget with white text on my home screen with light wallpaper results in the text not being visible (screenshot attached). Solution would be to have an option for dark text in the widget.

Well it looks nice. and it seems to play songs OK. I see a lot of problems on my RAZR Maxx though. No crashing or anything but there's no album art and no lyrics. It just says "Fetching Lyrics". Biggest problem for me is no connection to Google Play (that I can see). I only keep a few albums on my phone and stream the rest from Google. I'd love to see a dark theme as it's often late at night when I'm listening to music, thus dim lighting.

Edit: Someone pointed out that it only downloads when WiFi is on by default. So that solves the lyrics and artwork problems.

volume controls

There is one thing missing in all music players on Android. No player have an option in settings to display volume controls on the main screen and lock screen, on both screen orientations. I'm looking for such a player for a long time and no results. Reason for this request is very simple: if you hold the device in the car mount - hardware volume buttons are covered and unavailable. I believe this is often situation.

Could be Now Playing the first music player with such a option? Please :fingers-crossed:
