Can you add a option to have my whole songs ordered alphabeticaly, because that`s how I like to have them, and I really like your player. thank you

Or at least an option to enqueque all of them with one click in a playlist.
[Android Apps and Games] xplus93:
I love this idea. Perfect for when i'm driving and need to keep the map visible, but still control my music. Does it support flac files with cue sheets though?
[Android Apps and Games] vantt1:
I set my root directory to my Music folder, but beat isn't detecting a single one of my 3,300 songs. All it says is "Empty directory".
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
Try to add a root path again, hit 'Up' a couple of times. I guess the Music folder you added is storage/sdcard0/Music

@ others : feature requests added to ToDo-list in the OP

1.28 is up with a couple of force close fixes.

I'll look into DSP Manager and viper, don't know if it is possible yet, but I guess so.

I got the following bug report 3 days ago and I cannot reproduce it, hence I cannot fix it.

It happens on a Nexus 5: the dialog after touching the spinner to change the source immediately closes.

Is someone else seeing this happen ?

Superb work, nice user interface, there are still room for more modifications, but still its superb start and is a promising application.

I wonder whether you could add facility to download album arts for albums..

Great work!

Could u set up a donation link or donation version? I'd love to show my appreciation by putting my money in your hands. :good:

No problem with that on my N5

Awesome
[Android Apps and Games] vantt1:
Actually, it's storage\sdcard1\Music, but I'll try anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
What I mean is:

I guess that you already added storage\sdcard0\Music instead of storage\sdcard1\Music.

If the the device has an external storage there are 2 directories. What you see first, if you don't hit 'Up' is what the manufacturer defined as 'main' storage, which I guess is storage\sdcard0.
[Android Apps and Games] sunwee:
nice player. was looking for a folder-based player to replace mortplayer, which unfortunately, seems to be getting a bit long in the tooth UI-wise and also exhibits some problems with later android versions.

took it for a test, here's some of my suggestions:

- currently there's no quick way to go to the folder where the current song is playing. may i suggest tapping the now-playing cover to do this?

- the song list looks nice but a bit bare, maybe an option to additionally display info - such as album name?

- in the slide up now-playing screen, maybe you can add more gestures? currently swiping left/right changes track. maybe an option for swiping up/down to quickly change volume or change folder? and double tap for something else?

looking forward to seeing it grow. thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
All added to ToDo-list, all seem to be good ;)

1.34: hopefully I got most force closes fixed. Covers now displayed instead of icon in floating controls. This needs some kind of ring around it, in case of a black cover on a black background, or white on white..., will be added.
[Android Apps and Games] exwan:
No info were displayed. And could you add bitrate info for song that is playing. Like in the poweramp.

I do experience fc here and there. But the player seems great in the long run. Goodluck. I'll stay for awhile. Ohh and it just pause the song and wont resume it back if you receive notification (sms, wassap,)

Edit:

- the song only pause and wont resume when receive sms. Whatsapp is ok.

- the shuffle / random song feature wont stay on. It'll reset after one song is finish.

Updated to v1.34 on Samsung S3 Mini. Still cannot add path to my external sdcard. Clicked 'up' button and the app just exit (not force close). BTW, my internal disk is 'sdcard0' while sdcard is 'extSdCard'.
[Android Apps and Games] manudo:
Try to add support for .WMA and .flac files, that would be awesome because torrents and albums that people download online comes in that extension, but flac's better because it's in high definition.
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
Flac works, mostly... if you have files that don't work, let me know / send me those.
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
With 'Up' you mean the 'Up' button in the actionbar, next to 'add root', I hope. If the app closes there without a force close, please try it a couple of times, maybe it force closes and you can send a report.
[Android Apps and Games] antukubo:
Yes

Tried almost 10 times but it just close.

Anyway, I found other method to add external sdcard folder to path. Instead of 'usb storage', i tap on 'albums' -- choose folder -- 'Add folder to playlist'.

New found bug : It can shows embedded art cover but only the 1st file. The rest of the file seems like sharing the same art cover
[Android Apps and Games] manudo:
Fine, I'll download it.
[Android Apps and Games] SavedByGrace:
I noticed that the swipe left and right actions move to the next song in the album regardless of whether shuffle is on or not and stops at the last song in the folder even if the repeat toggle is on.
[Android Apps and Games] Coece:
Great!
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
Could those who get a force close when switching to the external storage, please try this version and let me know if it is fixed ?

Go to 'add root' then hit up a couple of times. If it isn't there, pm me.

Thanks DD for this music player it is now my default player. I think most of the bugs that were are fixed and was covered by all the other members so I didn't have to post anything because it would have been redundant. Thanks again for s great player.

Ok, after a few usage I should say that this app is AWESOME!

At first I was attracted by the "floating window" showing in XDA portal, but then I discover that that is just the tiny goodies of this whole amazing music player!

Highly customizable and with fewer bugs every update!

Quite sad that it is not available in my region (Macau) in Play store, or I will definitely rate this app 5 stars!:good:
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
Added it to the bug list in the OP, 2 days ago. It's just hard to reproduce. Does it happen all the time for you?

Edit: ah you mean the whatsapp/sms thing and the shuffle, sorry didn't see it
[Android Apps and Games] abhaykelkar:
Cool player...floating controls... :) will give it a try and report....thanks..:good::good:
[Android Apps and Games] stevey500:
Awesome.

Any possibilities of adding a "hotkey" feature? I have a nexus 7 installed in the dash of my vehicle, always looking for a good media playing app that makes a perfect in-dash infotainment interface as well as working as a perfect player for the phone in my pocket. I have steering wheel controls wired through an RC Joycon circuitboard via USB host that gives android media controls (next, previous, back, volume up-down, etc) but being able to control playback modes such as normal play/Shuffle modes by pressing the "mode" button on my steering wheel mapped to a certain keyboard-key that the app is listening for would be awesome.

Thanks for any response about this, if uninterested in such a thing, please ignore!
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
Nope, won't ignore :)

I'll add it to the ToDo list.

But like I said before: Fixing bugs > new features. So it could take a while.

(I just added the album covers in the floating controls, because it only took me around 5 lines of code, to crop the circle.

And 3 lines to change the cover.

Other features need more work.)
[Android Apps and Games] stevey500:
Completely understood, so awesome! I'll definitely cover a video review of those functions if they were to becomes possible in your app! Thanks a whole lot.

WMA support is done, while I am at it:

Are there other formats missing?
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
1.1.02 (test build, not in the Playstore, yet):

- new: WMA (switch in right drawer, slow song start, experimental)

- new: swipe up/down in the slideup-panel to quickly change volume

- new: top cover image is animated a bit

- new: tap the now-playing cover to jump to playing folder

- new: random playback from all songs

- new: display all songs

- new: fast collapse for floating controls (skips rectangle cover)

- fixed: shuffle/repeat not sticking after app restart

- fixed: small cover not displayed, when switching from cloud to device

- fixed: showing small cover placeholder if no cover is found, because it is clickable now (jumps to currently playing folder)

- fixed: song name sometimes not displayed in notification / on lock screen

- fixed: shuffle and repeat

DOWNLOAD: http://goo.gl/8uBxwE
[Android Apps and Games] manudo:
WMA, oh yeah!

Gotta try it!

Downloaded, I don't know if it's my phone but it keeps FC when opening another app while playing music.

A question, how much in RAM this app uses?
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
It uses quite a lot of RAM, because displaying all the covers is costly. Do you use a task manager ?

If yes, uninstall it. If the app is closed, the RAM will be freed automatically.

There is absolutely no need to use task managers, they even slow down app starts.

About WMA: it takes about 2-3 secs to start a song on my Nexus 4, because the file will be converted before playing to wav.

About 5-8 secs on my HTC Desire HD with CM 10.

I am changing that right now, to convert it on the fly.

Can you please send me a logcat when it crashes.
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
Did you 2 try it with Viper4Android ? Works fine on my Nexus 4 running 4.4.1 stock rooted.

1.1.06 and 1.1.07: force close on Android 4.0

1.1.08 is available in the OP

My review

Well, sorry dude, for don't reply but here I am, I don't get FC, well not as happened when I had 4.3.1, well then...

Music, oh, music, everybody loves them! I really like electro and that music that requires a good bass to hear it fine.

UI

Wow, Apollo is nothing compared to this, really nice, like the left-right settings gestures. Never expected it, smooth performance, no lags at all.

Sound

I can't judge this at all, I mean, I have Phillips headphones, good bass but poor treble, I mean, isn't your app, gotta find a Sennheisers and I'll tell you. :)

The bass bar, nice touch, this is I really look for when I download a music app, bass quality. Equalizer is fine too, but I like this more because is in-app equalizer like PowerAmp, but PowerAMP doesn't have too much options compared to beat.

Play

I didn't tried .WMA files since I didn't got 'em because I knew that it didn't read, I'll test it sometime.

The lockscreen, man, I love the album art in the lockscreen, just like Apollo but I need this too. Nicely done!

Controls are amazing, slide gesture for turn up the volume? Wow, just like MXPlayer, this is that I stay using this app, I'm trying to don't use the buttons at all, and this helps me a lot, really good. :)

Here's some things I've found using it...

When playing music, I press the "Menu" button and select "Settings" and I tap the "Back" button, it freezes a while and the songs starts all over again.

Bass boost feature doesn't work if I touch the line, the app crashes.

Sometimes if I play a song in All Songs list, shows the album art and doesn't play anything, when I select three other songs, the app crashes.

Remote controller headphones support, pause/play button doesn't work. Volume works. Can change tracks holding these, really nice. Used Samsung original earphones, also tried Beats Tour but with PowerAMP and Apollo, volume keys doesn't work because Beats use other architecture that only works in iPhone, and certaintly some Android devices. Center button doesn't work in Beats too, and it works in other players.

Well, that's it by now, I'll report when something more happens, but I'm really surprised with this app, good job! If you need more information, logcats, tell me!

I can help you with the QA (quality assurance), or anything that I can help you, I see big things in this app.

By the way, using Xperia Sola, CM11 4.4 KitKat, using Android RunTime (ART).
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
Thanks for that feedback !

I'll add a debug switch in a bit, which will help me to find bugs. Would be great if you switch it on when it is available.

I am not sure how this will look but something along: Failure -> Popup -> logcat pasted into email body
[Android Apps and Games] manudo:
You need logcat then?

Sorry, I didn't understand your message.

One question, your app isn't optimized for Android RunTime (ART)?
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
My little journey through the hoster's APIs:

box: http://developers.box.com/sdks/

Android API: check

MEGA: https://mega.co.nz/#dev

Android API: nope

Copy: https://www.copy.com/developer/documentation#synopsis

Android API: nope

So I'll add box first and see if I can add the others.

App update (1.1.18):

- ads switched on (can be switched off in the right drawer, without a purchase)

- a couple of donation options added

- russian translation (with Google Translate, if you find something that needs to be changed, let me know)
[Android Apps and Games] KopiJahe:
This player rocks!

Couple suggestions / feature request:

1. Please add previous button in collapsed notification mode (or at least give the option to do so)

2. Please consider .lrc lyric support (only a few player support this, notably ttpod)

3. Please add support for external local album art (like folder.jpg in album folder)

Btw, if you want Indonesian translation of this app, just send me the raw material to translate (like text/xml file listing all strings to translate) I'll do the translation ASAP :)
[Android Apps and Games] nemany:
Works well, control player easier.
[Android Apps and Games] arc_n_krizt:
This is a cool application...
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
1.) the width is to small on most devices, but I'll add a switch to turn it on

2.) I'll look into it. I did a search for this about 1 month ago, but couldn't find an EASY solution.

3.)

I thought about changing the current behaviour, which is: If no cover in the tag is set, folder.jpg will be used, if no folder.jpg is there use remaining biggest jpg in folder.

I'll add a switch:

first search tag then search folder.jpg -switch-> search folder.jpg then search tag

with an option to search all jpgs not just folder.jpg or cover.jpg

The translation: could you please send me an email, it's easier to handle for me (emails from others to help with the translation are welcome, too): dakdroid+beat@googlemail.com
[Android Apps and Games] KopiJahe:

Especially the cover jpg files: cover.jpg , folder.jpg , jpgs with 'front' in filename, jpgs with 'back' in filename

Did I miss something here ?

I'd rather drop support for bmp, because it's slow.

When this is done, I'll look into a better cover download technique.

[MENTION=2600923]dakdroid[/MENTION]

I have looked through the pages and noticed one question/request, which is left unanswered.

Namely, it's about the embedded lyrics. Embedded cover art is supported, that's is clear; but what about the lyrics, is it already supported, or do you plan to add the support??? Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
I'll take a look at lyrics, too. Of course.

Like before with the hosters I'll post my findings.

Dunno when I have time. I am currently trying to figure out why the app gets a lot of 1 star ratings, but I guess it's just because the app is on the main page and a lot of users don't even need it. Install -> don't know what it is -> 1 star -> uninstall.

That's kind of frustrating.
[Android Apps and Games] cities516:
They have time to rate an app 1 star, and don't have time to investigate an app thoroughly...:rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] KopiJahe:
This is exactly what I wanted, thank you very much :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] RalphLauren:
thanks for your time!

Just to prevent the confusion, I'm interested if music app plays embedded lyrics (like iPhone- sorry for the comparison), all my music is in iTunes with embedded into mp3 file cover art and lyrics...
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
Or probably a competitor, ratings are cheap, with my email on the Playstore I get about 1 offer per week.

Those who didn't rate the app: please do so, thanks!

(The cover 'discovery' settings are almost done, I am testing it right now

I spotted some things which slowed down the cover loading, it should be even faster on old devices now. )

Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] chronicfathead:
Don't know if it's a bug, or what you mean to happen, but I just donated the lowest amount via the Play store (don't really listen to music, but I thought your app deserved some credit/encouragement) and then immediately the Beat app kept crashing. Stupidly I uninstalled and then installed again before getting a logcat. I then had to setup my Music folder and style settings again as it was like a fresh install.

I tried force closing the app, but all I would get is:

Press the app icon

App would open to a black screen with the word Beat in the top left.

Nothing else happened, then a FC message.

I had only just set the style settings up, and hadn't exited the app before donating, so I don't know if they would have been saved if I had exited at least once before the crash?

I also have the adverts at the bottom, is that correct, or is it because I have uninstalled/reinstalled?

After wiping data and cache I can use the app again for a short while, until I have chosen a music folder I think.

Bassboost crash

This only seems to happen on a handful of devices, where the manufacturer broke something. No idea how to handle this at the moment.

Is the following fixed for you? It should be:

Menu/Settings -> Back -> Song restart

All songs -> some times doesn't play

Remote -> Play/Pause not working

ART works
