[MENTION=5267611]ckyy[/MENTION] : hmm, in fact, my goal was to simplify the UI, because I find that other music player open too much "windows"/activities...and present everything in a intuitive way Artist/album/song in one place.

what do you find complexe? the fact that the card are close and you have to click (open..) artist then album to get the song? or is it visually ?

anyway, thank you for your feedback
[Android Apps and Games] zard:
Not too bad. Tried out and was downloading album art but after it completed, I see many of my songs still without. If I pressed and hold a song album, I get to search last.FM and sometimes, I get many album to choose, but am not sure if which of them was right or not, as it was searching my folder name instead of my songs. ;)

[MENTION=5173740]oscar mok[/MENTION]: what is your android version? 4.3? I only test nexus 7 on a VM, and didn't occur any crash.

can you please send me a bug report your user name in the message?

EDIT: sorry, I didn't read well, and you have the galaxy note. I'm developing on this device (but stock rom), so it's propably a ROM issue. android 4.2 or 4.3??

EDIT2: and didn't reply to the right user.. Need sleep..
[Android Apps and Games] jlebeau:
[MENTION=253243]zard[/MENTION]

last.fm search work with the album name only, so it is needed that at less the album name is right. After you have choose a album proposition, you can check with the red button next the track that you have choose the good album.

thk for the feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] oscar mok:
It is running android 4.2.2. Anyway, I will send you the bug report.

Edit: My user name is "mok oscar"
[Android Apps and Games] jlebeau:
thx for the bug report, ping me when it's send.

your username is show as "oscar mok" for me, maybe it's the french localisation?
[Android Apps and Games] oscar mok:
um..... I think it is:)
[Android Apps and Games] Roundtableprez:
Force closes on my 4.2.2 ROM. Will get a log cat for you when I get home
[Android Apps and Games] jlebeau:
ok, so it's seems that there s a problem with 4.2.

I'm downloading a 4.2 VM and will fix that asap.

Problems on cm10.1, can't scroll down past the equaliser in settings and force closes when I try to close the app in the notification drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] tomktsang:
I like the layout and UI so kudos to you for that. Just need to fix some stability issues because it force closes on me sometimes, but the whole experience in the app is a bit jittery. But good app for beta form :good:

This looks cool.

I'm going to give this baby a shot :).

Hey, Nice job!

Honestly this is the only player Ive really liked, next to poweramp.

I've tried pretty much all of them, used N7 for awhile.. but poweramp is my main player.

This might be taking some time away from poweramp now though! lol :)

One suggestion~ it would be awesome to have a "dark" theme preference. or am i just missing it?

I'm running Stock 4.2.2 on an unrooted Galaxy Nexus. No problems yet!

Been running it and playing with it for about an hour+

Great job man. :) thank you. :good:

edit: just had a crash while attempting to download album art (which i really don't care about), I was just testing it.

Opened'er right back up, album art was there and we are back in business. lol

This is the first player since poweramp that ive been excited for! haha

:)
[Android Apps and Games] ansebovi:
hi bro...

tried nice... :laugh:

two request bro... :p

1.. please give direct link of apk here for rom developers easy access....

2...please give another with dark theme

...

ty for grt music player :highfive: :good:
[Android Apps and Games] /b/-TarD:
Really nice minimalistic UI, kudos :good:. Anyway, if your download album art feature can replicate Sony's download music info i.e. search and replace tags as well as album arts using file names I will be so happy :laugh:

brother, one small query.. the album arts which are downloaded, do they get embedded in the mp3?:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Androguide.fr:
Cool app. Nice to see people using CardsUI :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Rasa11:
what?

I didnt have to do anything to listen to any songs except hit the play button. No adding anything to a playlist.

Soon as I opened the app my music was all there and ready to listen to. CLick and play.

personally I like this GUI much better than I like that of vaniila music. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Zatta:
I like this!

Small question/request: can the notification icon be gray, like most ones? The main screen on the other hand could use some color, when all artists are not expanded it is a bit too grayish.

Are you planning to open source it?

Taptalked u see .. əəs n pəʞlɐʇdɐʇ
[Android Apps and Games] V4lve:
I thought for a while that the now playing screen and controls only appeared in notification and lock screen. Which seemed a really cool idea. Then I found them in the app. :(
[Android Apps and Games] Moscow Desire:
Now that's a way to help development :rolleyes:

Always remember, this is a BETA in early stages. It's best to post something helpful. BETA's typically have issues, and may not be compatible with all devices/OS Versions. Most BETA's are released in hopes to improve things based on users comments.

For FC's I suggest using ADB (or an app from the Play Store) and capture a "Logcat" and attach it to your post. This helps narrow down any major issues.

If people are not willing to help development, then they should stay with already established programs.

[Android Apps and Games] andrevs_ro:
Tried it. Nice ui

But if you don.t implement a folder player option you don.t have a chance in the world of music players. My opinion :)
[Android Apps and Games] jlebeau:
[MENTION=4502437]andrevs_ro[/MENTION]: already implemented :)

Go to the drawer (by clicking on the app icon top left), and select "Local Storage"
[Android Apps and Games] jlebeau:
It's indeed really help indie dev like to to have feedback & crash reports (and with a message describing the crash, it's even better!
[Android Apps and Games] jlebeau:
I will look to that crash, that's a new one :)

Can you please send a crash report with your username in message please?
[Android Apps and Games] jlebeau:
As [MENTION=4400038]Rasa11[/MENTION] said, just hit the play icon of a album or a track, and it's added to the playlist and played.

You can sort the playlist with Long Press, and delete a track by swiping it, the anchor is the albumcover of the track
[Android Apps and Games] GANJDROID:
Really like the concept. Find it difficult to open some of the 'cards' though on my HTC One, some work fine but most take a lot of presses to open up.
[Android Apps and Games] jlebeau:
Dark Theme is on my TODO list. I'm working on Widget right now & stability (Thk you guys for all the crash reports!), and then that will be dark theme time :)

The Cover download part is indeed still buggy, that should be fix in the next release
[Android Apps and Games] Arrowblue:
Its a good player, but i do like my playlist. i have songs in alot of languages so i made playlist depending on my mood. can you add playlist option it will be very great, need dark themes for the player.

Thanks man
[Android Apps and Games] jlebeau:
Great ideas!

I will try to implement it as soon as possible, complementary to the manual selection of the song (the red icon next to the song)
[Android Apps and Games] jlebeau:
It's fix, will be in the next release (in one or two days, with widgets!)
[Android Apps and Games] jlebeau:
I also notice the issue on a friend phone yesterday, will be fix in the next release. Thk for the feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] jlebeau:
Indeed, playlist are really important, will be add in some next release
[Android Apps and Games] jlebeau:
I also find the main screen a little monotone, it's definitely need graphic improvement, but I didn't find yet something that I like. Do you have any suggestion or inspiration?

No sure yet if the program will be open source, or not. I will release a paid version when everything is stable.

A free version (maybe trial, maybe ad support version) will exist, and I will see if I opensource some part of the app
[Android Apps and Games] glurak888:
Cool, hard to find the "player"

Try the Google play music player ui.

Oh an integration of Google music would be nice

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4
[Android Apps and Games] Cucoo:
Tried it, I like the UI.

Are you gonna add scrobbling support (Last.FM)?
[Android Apps and Games] Moscow Desire:
I'll try it on my tablet tomorrow. Will give you some feedback. Not sure how it will look as it seems to be dev'd towards phones. ;) :laugh::laugh:

Main thing will be integration with 3rd party sound enhancements (Viper4Android) for example.

As with the cosmetic things (background colors), these are just minor things, and really don't need to be posted every third post.

Good work mate. Been looking to replace my Walkman port.
[Android Apps and Games] Arrowblue:
Thanks man.I also wanted to report one thing every time i open the player its loading/Searching the music again and again it wont start fast enough i have to wait 5 to 10 seconds before playing any song & i do have suggestions/Requests for you.

1st: Give him a bit stylish look and give him a sexy icon alot of people look at the icon for first impression.

2nd: Music loop is too tiny and hard to forward or backward the song can you make a flat line or some thing.

3rd: If the music is playing on the main screen there is too much free space on the screen can you make a bigger album art & big music loop thats fit the screen example like Walkman or apollo music palyers .

Those are just requests & Thanks for your hard work :o
[Android Apps and Games] ken2802:
nice UI, somethink that you may should add is a costum lockscreen since the 4.2 stock one isnt that great imho
[Android Apps and Games] Rasa11:
Awesome! :)

Thank you. :highfive:

I also like the idea of the notification icon being grey instead of green. ;)

Great work buddy!
[Android Apps and Games] lzhikai1994:
Great app, unique and nice to use
[Android Apps and Games] ken2802:
opus support would be nice too
[Android Apps and Games] H4R81N63R:
Currently testing this app (v0.22 at time of this post). First impressions are good. Found a few bugs that I would like to point out:

Bug List:

1. Equaliser toggle switches to "off" when the song changes. The effects of the equaliser do not change though.

2. Sometimes, the buttons on the currently playing card become inactive.

3. When I close the app notification and select to keep the music playing, all buttons/cards except for the title bar become inactive. The app needs to be killed in order to use them again.

4. (Not sure if this is a bug) When the equaliser is enabled, the output volume is almost double that of the normal volume.
​

I would also like to see one feature that is kind of essential for my use of the app: A lock screen toggle, for 4.1.x android phones (since we don't have lockscreen widgets).
[Android Apps and Games] skyzaap:
Hello guys!

Hi jlebeau, this app of yours is great, very cool idea with some extra features which makes it worth it to keep side by side with stock players!

Here's my feedback:

I love the intuitive way you can manage the "actual playlist", but I'd make the "Add and play next" feature working different: by pressing it, could you make songs go directly after the now-playing one?

Is it possible to make the "actual playlist" like a continuous stream made by all the songs someone chooses? This means that playing a song would make it to be instantly played and also added to the playlist, directly after the last played song (is it clear? I'm a little wordy sometimes :) )

Knowing it's a beta, maybe this is normal but i'll report it: I have to force-close it everytime after use...

About the GUI: It is great the cascade layout, I'd only change the main visualization (like you also said I think...), so I'd lower the font size of the Artists, maybe change the default image for the Albums (something simple like a sigle note?), and change the whole basic list layout for the Artists, just making every single Artist separated by the other (like the individuals card-like panels you inspired to, simply..), I think it would make it appear better-looking, also more professional...

Some possible additional gestures: Swipe left-right on the now-playing album-art to change song; swipe to the left/right on a playlisted song to remove it from playlist; swipe to the left by the right margin to make the playing-options panel appear;

I hope I helped, this app can become very interesting like I wrote in my first lines; It reminds me, a little, Jaangle Player for PC, very handy.

I'm using a Samsung Note 2, JB 4.1.2, build N7100XXDMB2

Ciao ;)

PS: I like the actual green app-icon, simple yet nice, the notification could be just the note without any coloured background..?

PPS: I just saw the "tiny" "x" to close the notification playbar... ok I think the point about force-closing it's solved ;)
[Android Apps and Games] jlebeau:
Hi, I'm back!

First, I would like to thank everybody for your support, and especially for the crash reports! It's very so more efficient to fix crashs when you get many crash reports with good explanations!

I just publish the 0.23 beta, so that will be online in the next few hours.

CHANGELOG:

#New:

- LockScreen Controls

- Widget 4x1

- saving playlist state

- Notification icon

#Fix:

- Many force close (thx Xda for the crash reports!)

- UI speed & scaling

- Artist card click issues

- 4.2 compatibility issues

I'm has not very available the last days to reply to all your messages, so I will do it soon. There are many good propositions in this thread and I hope that with these good feedback, we will have a REALLY Nice music player!

Please, continue to send crash reports, it's gold for the advancement of this application
[Android Apps and Games] Arrowblue:
Hi,

After updating while clicking on Party mode it fc & what do you mean by ( LockScreen Controls ) can you explain ????? it is thoug Lockscreen music controller ?? or am i getting it wrong. normally i use Walkman but i like your music player too i hope soon it can over come walkman .What about playlist that are already made will your music player read them too ???? i have more than 1 thousands songs dont wana get busy with making play list again :P

Thanks for your hard work.
[Android Apps and Games] jlebeau:
Party Mode has not suppose to be visible :) It's a incoming feature, but that still need a lot of work.

I'm working right now on playlist support, that will be available soon!

LockScreen are like that : http://community.spotify.com/t5/ima...6FA80BFD13/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&px=-1

play a song, power off the screen, and when you power it back, there will be controls
[Android Apps and Games] Rasa11:
Nice updates! Thank you. :)

Working beautifully over here! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] oscar mok:
Work nice on android 4.3
[Android Apps and Games] weirdsciencex:
Great app, saw it reviewed on Android Police. Looking forward to see how it develops.

Any chance you'll be adding upnp support in the future?
[Android Apps and Games] DeGygii:
Wow really nice UI

the player is really intuitive to use.

some features are missing, like headset control, stopping music on headset disconnect and resuming on connect. also saving playlists would be really nice.

mono sound output would be really nice, since i often listen with one earbud.

the icon of albums which don't have any album art doesn't fit the UI, something simple would be better.

sometimes it crashes randomly and the performance is a little choppy but hey its a beta, keep up the good work ;)
[Android Apps and Games] RomanosN:
Tried to open the app in 4.2.1 Lenovo A820 but I get an FC on start up, I sent you a report :good:
[Android Apps and Games] skyzaap:
ISSUES report:

- in Tag creator mode, if I try fetching data from LastFM after deleting the Album (wrong) name the app crashes;

- when fetching data from lastFM, it seems to search only by Album Name, not by Artist... because I looked for some songs with unknown album but known Artist and it found strange albums and artists axcept the one tagged...
[Android Apps and Games] omniastrider:
Nice player you NicePlayer, but it need additional work, I think...

Moreover I'd really like that someone could finally release an audio player for Android that is fully capable to sync with a desktop audio player...I mean, there's Songbird, with source code available, and then there are plenty of good players for Android (PlayerPro, PowerAmp, this NicePlayer...) but none of them is able to sync ratings and other infos back to desktop (or to other device). PlayerPro is able to export statistics about songs in a useful XML file, but you have to sync manually (in other words: copy the file to the desktop, and then open it from Songbird). I think it shouldn't be so difficult to sync statistic from and to Android device, if you already have an almost ready software on PC (Songbird)
[Android Apps and Games] jlebeau:
Hi,

The beta 26 is online, with many many bug fix. Thanks to everybody for the very detailed bug reports, it helps a lot!

New in this release:

- Playlist : save, load & delete .m3u files;

- Headsets : controls supports, pause/resume when headset are plugged/unplugged.

Coming next :

- more widgets;

- black theme;
[Android Apps and Games] jlebeau:
Playlist and headset support is in the current release, beta26 ;)
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
Bug

When there is only one song playing and you swipe the song to remove it while it is playing, then the pause to stop it playing does not work. It notifies with pop-up saying "playlist empty", yet the song is still playing.

App should check for this: if playlist empty but song is playing -> stop / pause

The only way to stop it is to 'X' from status bar, but then app force closes.
[Android Apps and Games] rirozizo:
it's crashing directly after opening it, using android 4.3 CM10.2, i've sent a bug report to you.

^this bar means im on phone
[Android Apps and Games] Rasa11:
updates get better all the time! thanks bro! you rock!

can't wait for the next one! lol :)
[Android Apps and Games] rirozizo:
crash on 4.3 fixed in the latest update :)
[Android Apps and Games] Nornagest:
I still had two crashes on my Galaxy Nexus with stock 4.3 last night when switching back to the app after minimizing.

And I noticed the mediaserver ate quite a bit of my battery during the night - may this be caused by your app? I'm not 100% sure, but it's the last app I installed that might use it.

Nice app and I'm looking forward to future updates.

Forgot: Could you make the notification smaller? So many apps take up space in the drawer, I'd like to minimize that.

And another small remark: I'd change the icon to something white/grey - since these are the dominating colors in the app. I can only speak for myself, but I kept looking for an icon in these colors in my recently used apps overview, when I wanted to reopen it.
[Android Apps and Games] HiDevStudio:
sounds like windows phone 8 UI, i will have a try, anyway, thanks for your share
[Android Apps and Games] Rasa11:
"Sounds like" ?

Have you even seen it? lol

I've never used windows phone but ive seen enough of them,

This reminds me nothing of it. Personally I wouldnt be liking and using this app if it reminded me anything of wp8 UI. lol :eek:

[MENTION=2581772]jlebeau[/MENTION] ,

Been meaning to ask this..

Is there a way to "exit" the app, so that it fully closes (from notifications as well) ?

I might be missing it, but whenever I do want to fully exit it out i just go to app. info and "stop/quit" the app.

Not a great solution, but I havent found an exit. lol :) thanks
[Android Apps and Games] silverlining:
Okay, so I've been using this for a few days on my Nexus4 (ParanoidAndroid 3.99 nightlies) and I like it! Its a lot faster and easier for me to get to what I'm looking for. The waveform in now playing is a nice touch!!

I've found a few things:

-with some album art with dark areas, I can't see the title names because the background obscures them.

-Switching between Now Playing and

library is kinda laggy (dropped frames during animation)

-Sometimes when I seek with the waveform the view freezes and the counters stop. I can still control everything, changing songs fixes it.

Also, could the play/next/previous buttons be a little bigger?

Thanks for the app. Will report anything else I find/like :)
[Android Apps and Games] Rasa11:
Yay! Thanks for the Dark theme!

Much appreciated! :good: :)
[Android Apps and Games] jlebeau:
Hi guys,

long time since I didn't post here and post new update of niceplayer beta, sorry for that. My main job eat all my time, and I didn't have a reliable connection since (I work in Madagascar).

But, I starting again to roll new updates of NicePlayer.

Last updates had news functionnalities, like Floating Controls or the ability to play on any UPnP device. But, the main work done was principally fixing crash & UI performance.

So, here I'm again to get all possible feedbacks, and answer any requests :)
[Android Apps and Games] jlebeau:
About "Play on UPnP device": I only have Xbmc here that support UPnP. if some of you have a wifi tv or a connected hifi, I'm curious to known if it work well.
[Android Apps and Games] jlebeau:
Beta 34 is now online:

- fixing 2 new FC;

- fixing Floating controls settings problems;

- fixing car opening/closing glitch

- fixing lockscreen controls issues;

So, did some of you have test the new versions? some love for the Floating Controls and the "play to" UPnP function?
[Android Apps and Games] jlebeau:
beta 0.35 is online: fixing bugs in artist & cover download

Next release: AirPlay support
[Android Apps and Games] jlebeau:
Hmm, no more interest on NicePlayer?

Come on Internet, don't let me develop this app in my bubble, I need feedback, good or bad!
[Android Apps and Games] DeGygii:
The newest updates really improved the player. I used it for over a day and had no fc! This has to be a record of some kind :)

Seriously though it really improved with stability, great work. sometimes a little bit laggy but that's no big deal.I love the concept of the player, the UI is intuitive and it looks great.

One option which would be much needed is to add all songs of an artist to the current playlist, since i have some with 5 CDs so it's really annoying to add every album seperately.

Another thing would be to be able to automatically delete duplicates from a playlist if you for example accidentally add an album twice. Like an option in the 3dot menu.

It would be great if I could be able to rate songs from the widget, so you don't always have to open the app.

Keep the updates coming, nice to see you are working on this player and releasing recent updates.
[Android Apps and Games] DeGygii:
one more thing: the loading times that occour sometimes when the app is started are a little annoying.
[Android Apps and Games] Arrowblue:
The last Update made it even more better, but if my screen is lock i have to reopen the player again, and it takes too much time to load all the music and every time i open the music player its searching again for music i think you can make manual Refresh the playlist option, if some one dont like that music player is searching the music eveyr time we open it they can untick the automatic search optiona and can refresh their playlist list when they put new song in it, using it on my arc,Sp,Zr,Z,Z1 working on all devices that's what i like about it, upnp working fine i can enjoy now my music on hifi and my tv nice touch !
