One sugestion:

Make a tab to see the music by the folders. The rocket player have this feature and it's only because of this that i use it. Seriously dude, add a tab of folders where we can see our music by folders and i will start using your app.
[Android Apps and Games] freedomispopular:
Songs are displayed alphabetically instead of by their track order. That's a major negative for me.
[Android Apps and Games] zenrev:
Feature request - smart shuffle = all songs until entire catalog is played, not the "random" shuffle nearly all players have, that cycles through the same songs over and over. The only player I've found that approaches this is just playlists. The shuffle Gods have long ago given up on us..
[Android Apps and Games] LifeAsADroid:
Looks promising, will definitely check it out. A couple of ideas or suggestions:

Does the player currently (or will it in the future) have the option to pull music from folders on cloud storage instead of on the device itself? It would free up a ton of storage space on our phones, for those that don't have much room for our massive playlists.

Also, is the album art downloaded and kept "post-song" in a file of some sort? If so, can the ability to enable or disable the album art download be added once the album art function is added in to the player? Again, just thinking of saving limited space 8)

EDIT: Also a big fan of suggestions of others! Swyping to skip forward or backward would be real nice feature, as well as the option of adding the lyrics to the app main page. An option for dark (Holo dark?) would be a nice touch as well.
[Android Apps and Games] akshyat:
great simple interface

Loved simple interface. And loved the feat "hide small audio files "... notification sounds wont play . Great idea

One suggestion after using player for 10 mins.

Can we add indivisual songs to the queu rather than the whole list of songs is played when a song is selected from the "songs" tab. In my view user wouldnt want to play all songs at any given time, rather music depends on time or affect and .. so many artist or album have songs we want to listen to a particular time.
[Android Apps and Games] iam_delan0:
Great for a Beta!

Suggestion: Add tab to browse music through folders and continuous gap-less playback would be great.

Cheers :)
[Android Apps and Games] Sandivisi:
Awesome app

it work like a charm in my moto g
[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
Yes, rc6.
[Android Apps and Games] andy hall:
I have the same results, looks like it needs a 2 part sort using the same sort coding as in the albums tab.

I don't use play lists a lot so missed that bit.
[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
How do you play songs then? I like to make playlist by artist and then just listen one by one album or quickly find the right song. That's why I like Pixel player, it shows album cover in playlist. Shame that has sorting problems. I hope that dev will fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] andy hall:
Usually play an album at a time or if driving I have a progzilla podcast to listen to.

Having looked at this I can see the attraction of the playlist though.
[Android Apps and Games] andy hall:
Possible Bug found

I have just discovered what may be a bug or a minor tweak requirement.

Having been listening to a 2 hour podcast I stopped half way through.

When I opened the player to start listening again it started from the beginning.

Can you set it to save the location of part played tracks and start from there on reopening.

This would be particularly good for the podcast and audiobook peeps.

Still a cracking APP
[Android Apps and Games] Accountbanv2:
Of these which are supported?

mp3, mp4/m4a alac, ogg, who, flac, wav, ape, wv, tta, mpc, aiff
[Android Apps and Games] Emre Han:
customizable music player. I like this idea. good idea. Waiting for the new version. thanks:good:
[Android Apps and Games] reyfista11:
please make the playlist on the player page(list of what are being played) become shuffled as well when we enable the shuffle mode so that we know what the next song is even though it's shuffled
[Android Apps and Games] MajorWinters:
Really impressive! Very nice UI! I like it. :good::good::good:

A few suggestions ..

1. Pls add the tab "folder" . I need to browse through my many folders on ext SD Card.

2. Crossfading would be very nice

3. Black Background with white font or something like this.

THX.
[Android Apps and Games] freitaz:
If you accept this idea, please put an option to disable it. One of the reasons I like this player is because there's no way to know in advance which song will be the next, even if you return to previous music and skip again... it always pick a different song, like Apollo player.
[Android Apps and Games] sonrics1993:
Any compatibility with viper sound?
[Android Apps and Games] Gallardo994:
It works with DSP so I suppose it catches all the equalizers out there.
[Android Apps and Games] HEROEdelREVES:
I've just installed this player. Is good but it can be even more amazing.

My suggestions:

- Add support to .wma files.

- Add the option to open the menu of the song playing at the moment by touching it in the bottom (where the song is, hope you can understand it)

- Add an option to disable lockscreen player.

- Add and option to enter the Menu settings swiping from left to right (like you can do in TTPod player)

- Add an option to enable/disable "next song to be played by pressing the song"

- Add an option to Share the song, WhatApp, facebook, Twitter, etc.

- Add a Search so we can play online songs and the option to download it.
[Android Apps and Games] henrik.dk:
I actually use it to replace the player for a while but find there are lots of detail

still missing just like your long list.

P.P.S. This update is massive, i hope you guys enjoy it and hope no bugs will raise :D
[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
Looks like that playlist sorting is finally fixed, THANK YOU! :)

Btw, small visual bug. When player is started for the first time and not playing anything, interface has empty space on the lower part, see screenshot.
[Android Apps and Games] AndresVe:
Problems using the app

I see that the app promises but I can not install it on my zte V970 mediatek cpu with stock android 4.0.4
[Android Apps and Games] Gallardo994:
I suppose such interface is a part of API 4.1 or higher.
[Android Apps and Games] kcrims:
Yes, min API are 4.1 now (I need to update topic title), it's a requirement for gapless implementation
[Android Apps and Games] Gallardo994:
// off topic

From mako to hammerhead with the same set of apps, including brand new update of Pixel Player, hell yeah :D
[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
Hmm, looks like that player doesn't read saved playlist correctly. For example, created in foobar and copied to phone. Albums are not sorted in the player as in the playlist.

Another bug, if I start player and just look around in playlist, artists, etc. after pressing back button player starts to play what was playing last time. Then I need to go to notification and close it. If playing is not started, player should just exit.
[Android Apps and Games] kcrims:
Thanks, enjoy your hammerhead (still on mako here :D

) and new pixel Player version :D

All playlist are automatically sorted by album (and then by track), many people asked for this feature..

The bug sounds really strange.... Is it first time happening? Could you reproduce it again? Music never start playing alone here :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
I don't understand why I'm struggling with you about so basic feature. Playlist, is playlist, which means, read it as is created. Do you wish, for example, that Excel sort your table by default instead of loading as you've created? Playlist is invented that users can sort songs as they wish to be played. Simple question, do you know how to implement that?

As additional feature, most players can edit playlist, add/remove songs, change the order...

I've just tested, doesn't start to play but shows itself in notification. Sometimes start to play also. Probably will keep phone awake. Another bug I've noticed if is used in car with BT, after BT disconnection, player start to play on loudspeaker.
[Android Apps and Games] Romagnolo1973:
Testing in a old Sony X10Mini that is a poor hardware and it works good.

Thanks.

Just 2 little things:

- In the EQ settings there is a space I think is for rename and save the EQ but does not works and there is no possibility to save different setting. I think in future you will add this right?

- a Now Playing tab is missed, so at the moment I can't show the tab that is showed in your first page (pic n. 6) or could be my old smartphone with a poor resolution can't show it?

Ottimo lavoro, complimenti e grazie!
[Android Apps and Games] DaveEffectKid:
Hey, I've been testing this app for a week or so and I have to say it's really awesome app.

I just wanted to give you some feedback about some 'options' that other player apps have that would be very useful here:

*The option of skipping to the next song by swipping the cover.

*The side tab with the now playing list shows you the tracks sorted by songs but if you switch to "shuffle", the list remains the same. I've haven't find a way to know the next song in shuffle.

Justo that two points, the app is really cool and functional! :D
[Android Apps and Games] Seiro:
Sorting

Hey there is a way to sort tracks by name? ,its really messy.
[Android Apps and Games] kcrims:
Yeah, I'll implement the possibility to save customized eq setting.

For your second problem, I think it's related to your device resolution, I'll try to check it.

P. S. Grazie per i complimenti! Lo apprezzo :D

the swype feature it's in future plans, I don't know how hard is to implement it....

For the shuffle options, I think I'll not change it for two reasons : a) someone asked for the feature implemented in this way (no way to know next song), b) most important, refreshing the UI (the list song) would affect user experience (more operation to be executed), I prefer to keep the app as clean and light as possible :)

Thanks for your nice comment :)

Tried "Default" or "Title" sort?
[Android Apps and Games] Seiro:
No i mean the songs are starting from Z and not from A
[Android Apps and Games] DaveEffectKid:
I understand the shuffle thing, that's okey. Thanks anyways for answering that! :D I'll be cheking for updates of the app :o
[Android Apps and Games] slyr114:
Great player, not sure what you have planned but here is what I think would help. Would love an option to clear the now playing playlist completely. Another nice feature would be artist pictures in the artist tab in the same format as the album art in the song tab. Also a night theme would be super nice as well.

New Version : 1.0rc8

This version should be a bit faster, i've changed the bug report service (switched to crashlytics.com , should be more lightweight )

Download :

Pixel Player 1.0rc8

Changelog:

This is the final version, if no problem will raise.. i'll release it in the playstore :)

P.S. suggestions/report are welcome as always :)
[Android Apps and Games] evillive:
what about folder tab?
[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
P.S.

Suggestion/report I made half month ago but you probably get offended so you didn't even answer. Should I bother with download of new version or all reported issues remained?

Believe or not, I wish to help you to make your player better. Ready to buy it. I almost switched to it last time but after few day of struggling I had to uninstall.

You should listen your users.

Edit: If 1.0rc8 is not much much better, I'm strongly recommending, don't release it on play store. Most users will try it once, get disappointed, leave low rate and forget. Will be very hard to earn good reputation/rate again.
[Android Apps and Games] henrik.dk:
partly agree.

the UI and widget is of my taste but not that polished yet.

the drop shadow of the icon is a bad idea as it makes the alignment looks awful.

open the left sliding song list and press the back button doesn't hide the list but quit the app. reported a while ago.

hide tab should be renamed show tab.

button on the locker screen doesn't work at all.

this is what I observed while not used that much.
[Android Apps and Games] Sacred_Prophet:
Great player app!
[Android Apps and Games] kcrims:
You'r totally wrong. I was not offended, I'm sorry if I did not answer to your post. I appreciate all kind of suggestions/reports and i try to merge them with my ideas to develop the application.

I try listen to all users, but you guys should understood it's not easy to implement/fix/improve every your request, especially because i'm out for work 9-10 hours at day and sometimes i've really little (or zero) free time (and this app it's an hobby, not a work). Some suggestions are on my TODO list. As i said some weeks ago i wanted implement folder tab but i was not able to work a lot on it (damn work !!!!).

So, if i'm not wrong your request was about the playlist, to sort it as created (am i right ?). Many here asked to sort playlist for albums/songs, i can try to change the "Default Sort" to revert the playlist to the original order. Is it ok ?

Other your reports were about notification popping around when music was off... i've tried to work on this bug, it

*SHOULD*

(only time will tell :D ) be fixed now :)

If you have other request/report don't hesitate to write them here or PM me :)

What you mean with polished ? And which widget are u talking about ?

For the icon, it's [MENTION=5281145]Gallardo994[/MENTION] 's work, i can try to modify it a bit (suggestions?), but honestly I find it cool.

For the locker screen, which device you have ?? First time hearing this issue...

Thanks

Still working on it, i don't know when i'll release it.
[Android Apps and Games] henrik.dk:
polished is a general comment. just something minor and easy to fix.

e.g. for the playlist, the ... menu entry "delete" is also present for playlist "last added" which "delete" will not work at all.

missing some general feature like play list "recent"

the widget button of "repeating the same song" better to use (1) "loop with 1 inside" instead of refresh button.
[Android Apps and Games] freitaz:
I liked this version, the icon on notification bar is cooler than in the previous version. Equalizer works as well. Lockscreen widget only works when "Headset plugged" option is checked, but this isn't exactly a problem for me.

One question: will you bring the old alphabetical sorting? The older versions sorted the music ignoring definite articles in the beginning of title.
[Android Apps and Games] vikasb32:
It would be awesome if you add folder tap like in player pro.
[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
I don't know how many users asked for sorting and where. In my opinion you should be focus to polish elementary features then move to advanced ones. Yes, playlist should be loaded as is created. I repeated that sentences several times already ;)

Please read rest of ours reports. I understand that is your hobby and we appreciate your work, that's why some of us report bugs and suggest features. Your player really has potential, don't ruin it ;)
[Android Apps and Games] kcrims:
"recent" would be a nice feature, i'll think about it (t would require writing/saving references of each played song, i need to think about how to implement this feature, i don't want to worsen user experience..)

Loop button have been repleced with "repeat icon + (1)"

you mean "Volume Control" ? I've just discovered that lockscreen/volume/headset/blueetooth control are handled by the same class in Android, that's the reason lockscreen not working when "volume control" is off. I've replaced the "Volume Control" option with "Lockscreen/Volume Control" .. when this option is off, the lockscreen control will go off too (thanks for reporting this bug ! :) )

Have you tried the "Sort" option ?? Sort->Title will ignore articles in the beginning of title (this option is store, you don't need to select it everytime you open the app :) )

I've worked on playlist too, now "Sort->Default" will (need to test) display the playlist as created (i've tried creating playlist inside my app, it should work also with imported playlist). This option is stored , you need to select it only the first time ;)

Thanks, i'll try to don't ruin it :D

Fixing last bugs then i'll release 8.1 :D
[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
OK, let us test before you release it to the play store ;)
[Android Apps and Games] freitaz:
You are welcome. But, to tell the truth, I wasn't talking about this one. :D

It's really the "Headset plugged" option, on Headset section ("play music when headset connected"). The lockscreen widget only appears when this option is checked.

Thanks for the tip, it worked. :good:

EDIT: There are another bug. When I listen to music and random is selected, the first music (only the first) repeats one time.

Explaining: I put all my songs on random reproduction. When I exit the player and open it again, the first music being played repeats one time, and then the other musics are played.
[Android Apps and Games] Gallardo994:
I confirm that bug. Shuffle sets the same song over again after opening the app.

[Android Apps and Games] kcrims:
Can you give me more detail ?? I'm trying to reproduce this bug on my phone , no issue here :(
[Android Apps and Games] freitaz:
Put your musics on shuffle mode, hear some of them and after close the app. After this, reopen the app and start to listen from the last music being played. The first music will play twice and the others will play normally.

Great update man, thanks. But I think that request for id3 switch is useful only in rare situations. What about a toggle in settings like “ask me to confirm song name before downloading artwork”?

[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
Still no playing by folder. Could you implement your own media scanner? So we can set music folder in settings and scan only that. Now your app depends of Android media scanner.
[Android Apps and Games] ArkThompson:
Is it a bug that tapping on the notification doesn't open the app?
[Android Apps and Games] kcrims:
Thanks man :)

I'll think to add a preference to handle this feature

Yes, still no playing by folder.. i'll do it when i'll have more free time :)

Have you tried default sort in playlist ? it should work as you requested..

Yes, i'll fix soon (widget should not open the app too)

EDIT : i'm releasing app in playstore with two version : free and pro . I would like to release pro version for xda users here but i don't want my app be put on Aptoide 2 min after releasing it :D ( i've implemented license check in pro version )
[Android Apps and Games] Gallardo994:
Don't bother about security, it will be cracked anyway. You will waste more time than get profits.

Sent from Nexus 5 using garbage^W Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
Sort of. First playlist is loaded and sorted in alphabetic order, then I tried default sorting and then is sorted as playlist is created. That kind of sorting should be as default.

Have you consider to implement your own media scanner as Power Amp? That will solve many problems like all media files show in player...
[Android Apps and Games] ArkThompson:
The app starts playing music by itself (even after being paused and closed) sometimes in the latest version.
[Android Apps and Games] freitaz:
The app still has the bug of lockscreen widget (it only appears when "Headset plugged" option is checked).

Also: now the music plays from the point it stopped on the last use of app, instead of restart feom beginning of music. Is there a way to restore the old behavior?
[Android Apps and Games] polosan:
great if could find lyric and little ram consumption
[Android Apps and Games] kcrims:
You have to select that option only the first time (will be stored). Next time your playlist will be sorted as default.

which would be the benefit to implement my own media scanner ? (i'll search something on google) You should disable media files showing checking the preference "Filter music" in settings

It's fixed, sorry for it

I can't reproduce this bug on my phone (with lockscreen widget you mean the remote controller from lockscreen or the widget added to the lockscreen?) . If i disable "Headset plugged" the lockscreen widget and remote controller works good.

I'll try to add a preference in the setting for your request (i tought it was a considered a bad behaviour restarting the song at every launch)

I'll release new version in some hours, i've fixed some stupid bug, added some basics translations (who wants help me with full translations ? :) ) and i've finally implemented folders tab :)

Here a preview
[Android Apps and Games] freitaz:
About the lockscreen, i think it's a rom problem, so just forget this one, haha. :D

About the music restarting from beginning, I'd really like this option, I will be really pleased if you add it.

And about translation, I can help with Brazilian Portuguese, if you desire.
[Android Apps and Games] Gallardo994:
I'm ready to translate it into Russian. You've got my Skype.

Btw, notification doesn't want to open the player at all. It just closes my notification shade, but there is no effect. Opening the player using the icon is fine and doesn't have any problems. Tried both exiting the app (closed with “back”) and minimizing it (using home button).

Sent from Nexus 5 using garbage^W Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
Benefit of having your own scanner is that your app will not depend of Android scanner so users can select only specific folder or folders with music to be scanned. For example, I have 128 GB sd card with almost 30 GB. I have to put .nomedia in my music folder to prevent Android scanner to scan it. Looks like that Android cannot handle such amount of data and all system starts to freeze, lag... You should see that, I thought that my phone is broken :D

I can translate to Croatian if you wish.
