App no longer crashes when you disable/enable adverts after a donation(?).

Seems to be working as expected now. Great work.

Edit: Just noticed that the even titles in playlist mode have a different size to the odd titles.

Hi i like it, just one question, before you could change default background, now I cannot see this options.

Great work.

Very Nice

Hi...very nice UI and player...still need to be evolved a lot to be a complete music player. ... :good:

[MENTION=900081]chronicfathead[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5289330]bett3rthan[/MENTION] sorry I mixed the answers to the quotes, should have been this way around:

Please check if this is fixed, too. I didn't experience this, but made it more failure proof.

Was able to reproduce it -> fixed.

New graphical bugs noticed and will be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
CatLog should work, but unfortunately the crash isn't there.

In CatLog the crash will be red, and you can read: de.stefanpledl.beat in red

Here is a new version: 1.2.05

pulled download: will reupload this later again, there is a sound issue

Let me know if it still crashes.

While looking at the bassboost, I saw an easy implementation of preverbs, so:

I added Preverb settings in the equalizer like: large room, large hall and so on.

This should work but I really cannot hear a difference between them, would be nice if I'd get a little feedback on this.
[Android Apps and Games] manudo:
This part seems to help in this case.

Downloading new version.

EDIT: No links...

Look at the attached file, there's what you looked for in CatLog. May be a problem with ART?
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
Download 1.2.06: http://goo.gl/7CGhfsj

As mentioned before: I changed the bassboost and added reverb.

Let me know if it works and if you can hear a difference when changing the reverb settings.

Layouts have been fixed too (the more button position).

Edit: just uploaded 1.2.06, which checks if bassboost and reverb are supported by the device. I thought they are supported by all, but that's not the case.

(Reverb is not enabled in the Playstore version for now)
[Android Apps and Games] manudo:
Downloaded and tested here's my feedback...

Goods

Bass boost works, really good job!

The bug about selecting a song in "All songs" won't making troubles no more.

Bads

The bug that when I select settings and go back to player came back again, the song restarts again. Now I found that this bug only happens when selecting a song from "All songs".

In the settings menu the options: Navigation drawer, Caches. The player FC when selecting it. Album covers works, like one second and the player FC.

I don't hear a difference when changing the Reverb.

All Logcats attached, see below.

Suggestions

Try to add "Studio" in Reverb, since almost all songs are recorded on it and it gives a 3D sensation and improves bass.

Try to add a higher bass in the bar, it's likely weak in the high level.

About the Logcats, I don't know if it help, I see errors but not in your app, if that logcats don't help you, I'll try another way to get 'em.

And one question, what about that thing about ads? You're going to release a Premium or Pro version? Bad for me because it covers 2/6 of my screen and I need more space in this app for seeing songs.
[Android Apps and Games] eymas:
Gave this a try to see if I can find a good alternative to n7player, and i'm amazed.

This is quite good.
[Android Apps and Games] chronicfathead:
Agreed. Its not just another boring music app, its different.
[Android Apps and Games] kiwiandroiddev:
Just gotta say, that's a very nice, slick UI. Awesome work. Will give this a try tonight.
[Android Apps and Games] ImJamIN:
Hi,

This player is something different,that's good. I've tried it and is nice your floating control. But how can I set to display the contents in a folder to alphabetical order?
[Android Apps and Games] eymas:
I have been trying Apollo again but it isn't what it was anymore; when I first installed ICS on my first android device(Archos 43)

This one is as you claim; different instead of all the other carbon copies(Nexmusic, shuttle, Now playing...) and that's what makes it great.

Only gripe is that you cannot define a path for the folders containing the covers considering the ones of n7player, but maybe it's time to work on the ID3 tags again anyway :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
Teaser(List Style: "from cover art"):

No ETA, needs some polishing.
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
Once I figure out a fast, free and license free way for downloading cover art, you won't need that.

Until then: fix your tags ;)

Not yet, but will be added.

Sorry for not answering earlier, I forgot to hit 'post reply' yesterday and closed the browser window :-S

The button is only hidden right now. There is a problem with the new "Fotos" app. I'll revert it once it is fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
I just implemented cover downloading via lastfm. The easiest would be to just save a new file in each folder: beatcover.jpg

How about this approach ?

This could be done in the background.

I could add an advanced mode to set the covers in the tags, but this would need manual control for every file.
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
That's actually somewhat intended.

I tried to restart the playing when the call was ended, but what happens if you had headphones plugged in before the call and pull them during the call. Should I restart playing then when the headphones are plugged back in (which could probably be a long period of time later).

I guess best is, if I just pause it.

V 1.3.00 (beta, xda only for now):

- AUTO cover download via lastFM

Please let me know if this works. Worked great on the 4 devices I tested it on.

- New list style option: get color from covers

DOWNLOAD 1.3.00: http://goo.gl/6DQfzD
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
I'll just add an option to resume playing, then I don't have to worry :)

The huge cover only gets scaled below screen size if the device has small memory.

What device do you have?

Probably it's using the cover from the tag, which might just have that resolution.

Try with covers from jpgs in folders only (via the album covers button) and check how it looks.

If it looks better you can change the cover in the tag with software like mp3tag. I'll add tag editing soon.

I'll add an option to blur low resolution covers. The blur effect algorithm is there already but not used.

I guess I should regroup the settings, it's getting a bit crowded
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
Try this:

Slide in from the right.

Hit 'Album covers'

Choose: Yes, jpgs in folders, choose files, only select folder.jpg, Done

Then if you turn on auto cover download, the missing covers will be downloaded, if available in a good resolution.
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
I tried blurring but I don't like it.

(Either blur all or none, so blur none)

1.3.02: http://goo.gl/mGGtnc

with: "resume after call"-switch, off by default
[Android Apps and Games] Bakuron:
There are apps that allow streaming from Mega. I use

Mega Mobile Streaming https://play.google.com/store/apps/...&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=mega+mobile+play
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
Yes it is possible, but they don't have something I can EASILY implement.

I'll be on holiday from the day after tomorrow, this means I have a lot more time to work on the app, so please stay tuned. More hosters will come. Box first. Others most likely.

I should add that most bug reports I receive now are from the 'cloud' part of the app. This part needs a lot of work.

Buffering, probably preloading, covers, tag info, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
The colors were solid in the beginning, with only dark transparent being opaque. I changed that and forgot to remove one of both.

1.3.04: http://goo.gl/2qXcb8

force close fixes
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
1.3.06: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3l6goBmnRXDM2REM2IwY2Y3OGc/edit?usp=sharing

- couple of bugs/force closes fixed related to the equalizer are fixed

- BassBoost fix (wasn't showing on some devices although it is supported)

- Loudness added (Android 4.4.2 only + only on devices that support it)

- fix rare force close when "get color from covers..." was turned on
[Android Apps and Games] tandevilz:
How about lyrics in this app? U already have album cover downloading
[Android Apps and Games] ImJamIN:
Alphabetical order in folder.

Only for remember.

Thanks

Bug report

1) when the app is minimised (ie using back button) and access again from notification bar, the song that is playing is not highlighted. But no problem is the app is swapped out by home button.

2) I probably missed something, but I cant find the option to enable the songs to play sequentially in the folder rather than what seems to be random.

3) press back button from the song list to folder list to list of folders --> blank white screen before the app exits (or minimised)

4) the cover screen displayed in the now playing screen is cropped and blurry. Also in folder view, where the top part of the screen displays the cover - is there a way to select the cropping or portion to be shown? Because the app seems to often select the worse part to show, resulting in for example just part of the face or the bottom half of the singers body..lol

Suggestions

1) I notice tapping the bottom bar will bring up the now playing screen (good!) but there is no quick way to bring back the folder view. Since swiping up/down is reserved for volume...maybe a quick double tap on the cover to go back?

2) Add something like a "now playing quicklist" for the times when we just want to add some songs from different folders to play but dont want to create a permanent play list. May I suggest double tap on the song to add to the Now playing list? You can also add option to resume this playlist on next startup or clear list on exit.

3) I notice it stops playing once all the song in the folder is complete, maybe add option to continue playing to next folder?

4) support for headsets, i think now only volume works? would like to see next track, back, pause support etc.

5) timer support for those time we want to listen to music while trying to fall asleep :)

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
It's alphabetically (filenames)

nope

tap the song title

good idea

should all work, if not let me now

good idea

It is by filename, but by songname would be a good idea
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
Those who cannot see the bassboost slider, but saw it before AND it was working:

please install this version, once you open the equalizer an email message will be prepared.

send it to me

If someone wants to make a skin for the floating controls, just contact me.

The only thing that is important: It has to be made by you, not downloaded/copied from the web.

It is pretty easy:

I just need pngs for the 5 buttons: close, play, pause, next, previous

1 each: icon on top (e.g. arrow for next)

1 each: background, or if it is the same like the new skin, same for all

The new skin has 120x120 px for each background, but I guess a bit higher would be better.
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
Landscape ?

Landscape !

-> OP
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
1.3.20:

- bug fixes

- landscape enabled

- higher cover resolution
[Android Apps and Games] ImJamIN:
It's strange,but when I open equalizer I have Fc. I'm on 4.3 stock
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
Did you send the crash report ?

Is this your device: s9096 ?

If yes: it seems to be a problem with the device. I added an extra check to catch the force close, by simply closing the equalizer and printing a message, but please try if rebooting your device helps.

Edit: just to clarify: the check will be in the next version
[Android Apps and Games] gedegunz:

Thx ! I will check it out :)
[Android Apps and Games] ImJamIN:
No. Try to reproduce and send report.

Edit: ok, this is my situation; I play a song and then I open equalizer. I don't activate it, and then I turn back with button to exit the app to the drawer. The app is present in the notification bar but when a try to reopen it I have a Fc and I cannot send report.
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
Ah ok I think I found the problem, I simply forgot to hide the Equilizer button in the slide up menu if the equalizer isn't supported by the device :-S

Do you see the Equalizer in the right drawer, where the other switches are ?

If no: sorry it's not supported.

Here is a fixed version: 1.3.22: http://goo.gl/t60QyZ

Is someone interested in using the app with Koush's AllCast ?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.cast

I have that implemented, it just needs a fix on Koush's side. You could stream your music then to all devices (that support dlna) on your home network (like PS3/4, xbox 360, xbmc, ...) from beat.

Thanks for this nice app. I have a question for you.

I use MediaMonkey to sync music and .pla playlist files. Does Beat support .pla playlist format?
[Android Apps and Games] safirz:
Amazing app, been using it for a few days and i was able to customize it allmost exactly the way I want, thanks for the amazing work :)

One question though; would it be possibe to add the feature allowing the user to read a full folder, when there are subfolders within this folder?
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
I just implemented m3u files and am now checking out the playlist formats. .pla will be added.

Thanks !

Will be added. I just forgot that ^^
[Android Apps and Games] safirz:
great, thanks again ! just as good as poweramp for my personal use :)

another minor bug i noticed on my previous phone (noname, i just switched to a Motorola RAZR HD and i'm not getting it anymore) is that the song wasn't switching automatically to the next when the screen was off. I had to poweron my screen before having the next song played.
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
Please try 1.9.90 and let me know if the import works.

Version 1.9.90: Download: http://goo.gl/tyOzjL

FIXES:

Floating Controls: wrong half circled icon shown when positioned on the right and swiped over screen edge

Floating Controls: layout problems

Swipe Animation: needs app restart

NEW:

Ringtone: Added Ringdroid to set songs as ringtone (can be edited before), thanks to Dominic Mazzoni for making this brilliant app!

Animations: Short animations (dialogs, cover fade in)

Playlists: files can be imported (m3u, pla , pls)

Add root path: up arrow ('Up' button removed from ActionBar)

Add root path: popup when root path was set, to add another

Visualizer: new, more, better, different visualizers

Sorting: change at the folder/song popup menus

Ratings: in the slide up panel are now thumbs to rate a song, rated songs will appear in the 'rated good' section

Misc: AllCast (Premium) support added (device only), this means you can cast every song to a DLNA receiver like xbox 360, PS3 / PS4, etc. from the app.

Koushik Dutta's Trial version has only 60 seconds of playback, so the premium version is needed.

I will look into doing this on my own without another app, but it's not easy to accomplish. Credits to Koush!

If you have a chromecast, please contact me (it's not available here) for a test build!
[Android Apps and Games] safirz:
been using it since i updated it on the Play Store two days ago, the little tool to add a song as a ringtone is perfect, i used to just push mp3s in Ringtones/Alarms/..., love the ability to select a particular part of the song before setting it up as a new ringtone !

not a big fan of ratings tho, i like the feature allowing us to add songs to new playlists, and i think it's enough !

but i'm still not able to select a full folder containing subfolders to have all the subfolders in my playlist (long click on the folder > Read all would be perfect) :)

always available for feedback, i'll have a quick peak on the topic every now and then !
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
Thanks, the ringtone edit app isn't mine it's available on the playstore, too:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ringdroid

I added a notice in the app the first time a ringtone is edited.

Subfolders can now be added to the Queue and the queue is visible now (slide up the panel and hit the notes in the top right)

This player is awesome. It's very convenient & beautiful
[Android Apps and Games] c-droid:
Thank you for sharing this fantastic music player of yours, been loving it since I've read it here at xda...

Wish you could implement the following feature request:

Sleep timer

Sensor control (shake, tap, wave...)

Bug/error report:

I encounter "Unfortunately, beat has stopped." upon opening the Equalizer when using external equalizer (DSP Manager)

To re-produce...

Open Menu > Equalizer, List style, Action... > External Equalizer > OK, then setup DSP Manager as per liking. (setting it here has no problem)

Tap or swipe-up the player, open Equalizer via the 3 square button on the upper-right beside the Queue button. (just opening it here causes beat to stop)

Using the built-in equalizer have no problem.
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
Sleep Timer: is added (right drawer)

Thanks for the bug report, I'll fix it in a minute and upload an update in a couple of minutes here.

Shake: ok, should play next song I guess.

Tap and wave ? Could you explain that or tell me which app uses it ?
[Android Apps and Games] c-droid:
Wow! that was fast, thanks for adding the sleep timer...

Yes, shake = next song / random song (if shuffle is enabled)

Tap I think uses the same sensor as shake but with different sensitivity and logic, this is like pocket mode, since when your phone is on your pocket, since it would be kind of awkward to shake your legs, you just tap on your pocket.

Wave I think uses the proximity sensor, waving your hand over it will play next song / random song (if shuffle is enabled) and holding your hand over it will pause the current track.

Relevant app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zgui.musicshaker

Your a good developer, more power to you!
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
Alright, sounds like cool features which have to be in that app :)

It took me longer as expected, because I accidently deleted one line, which broke a new feature (song position seekbar at the lockscreen, for Android 4.3+, just long press one of the lockscreen control buttons, to bring it up). Took me one hour to find that little bugger.

So here is V 1.9.99: http://goo.gl/xpXcWp

NEW:

Lockscreen: Android 4.3+ long touch play/pause/next/previous to display a seekbar

Subfolders:Hit 'Play now' in the folder popup menus to play the whole folder, if a subfolder is found you will be asked to play all subfolders.

Navigation drawer: Prepared for new backgrounds

FIXES:

Cloud: Fix not playing next song automatically

Equalizer: Fix crash when Equalizer button in slide up panel was clicked

External Equalizer: Dialog only shown once

Folder delete: Fix crash if folder was deleted

Playlist: Dismiss previous dialog if playlist from 'all' is selected

Covers: Sometimes weren't showing on app restart

Crash: Prevent crash when opening a folder

Shuffle: Didn't work on cover swipe
[Android Apps and Games] L00n:

[Android Apps and Games] safirz:
hey, didn't update it yet, but i'm still getting FCs when trying to relaunch the music directly on the beat Widget --> it either comes back to the first song of the playlist i was listening to, or it just crashes and ForceClose.

Minor GUI bug:

From this screen:

View attachment 2502850

Opening "Equalizer, List style, Action..." using phone menu button...

I get stuck on this Menu/Settings screen:

View attachment 2502851

Could not close the above Menu/Settings neither by phone back button or by swiping to the right...

unless I continue to open "More settings..." and go back, then I can close the above Menu/Settings both either by phone back button or by swiping to the right.
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
Menu buttons still exist ?:)

Forgot about that. Will fix it in the next version.
