Just a minor bug, not sure if it's possible to fix though since quite a few music players seem to do it. When you close the app fully (e.g. x on the notification) while playing music, if you have headphones in then it makes a really loud sound

could not find folder tab. The version download here says 1.03
[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
Just tested it on tablet and it's very good now! Occasionally has some GUI freezing with music playing without problems. Maybe still doing something in background.

Implement your own media scanner with ability to select folders to scan and you may have the best Android music player.

Thanks for listening users suggestions :)
[Android Apps and Games] kcrims:
Have you downloaded it via Play Store or direct link apk ?

What do you guys think of folder tab ? :D
[Android Apps and Games] Gallardo994:
Works great, but it closes my app if I press back. It would be more logical if it just went a folder back.

[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
I downloaded it from here. As I told I cannot use it with phone but wish to test it and report. I rarely listen music on tablet and only few albums are there.

I agree that back button in folder should not exit from app.

When app become useful on my phone, I'll definitely buy it to support you.

You'r french...why don't you consider helping me traslate it in french ? :D
[Android Apps and Games] Atok_fr:
How can we help you ? Do we have to know something in coding apps ?
[Android Apps and Games] kcrims:
No coding skills required, the works is really simple. You just have to modify an .xml file (similiar to html or txt file). The file contains a list of element of this type :

<string name="nameOfTheString">This is the string to translate</string>, you just have to translate the part in bold, the "This is the string to translate" (not the field "nameOfTheString").

This is an example :

<string name="song">Song</string> (from the strings.xml in english) will become => <string name="song">Chanson</string>

Edit : if you see the character "\n" , don't delete it...it means "new line", just ignore it !

Here is the strings.xml in english. (i've italian, english, spanish, russian and brazilian portuguese atm)

email with translated file at pixelplayer.app@gmail.com

Bass boost resets when you close the app and reopen it.
[Android Apps and Games] TheBestPessimist:
This is pretty dope!

Wow man, nice player. Also, nice work for your first application. If you need help with Romanian translations, I d love to help!
[Android Apps and Games] kcrims:
Thanks for nice review and for your translation guys !

I'm trying to work on the new UI. I'm planning to remove the ActionBar in order to have a cleaner and elegant interface . I'm attaching some screens of the new version, I'm really curious to know what you guys think of them !

The only flaw of this new interface is that losing the ActionBar, I didn't know where to position the menu button (the three dots), so I had to replace, in the little player at the bottom, the back button with the option menu button. In the DrawerLayout (the swypeable queue on the right) I have added an header in order to have 4 quick functions : "Search", "Settings", "Save playlists" and "Delete the queue" (the last two were already there). The DrawerLayout now opens only with the swype of your finger (i've lost the queue button in action bar) or with the classic button in the player screen (the top right). (i hope this long text is clear guys :D )

P.S. As you can see, the second screen is with new black theme (you like it ? )
[Android Apps and Games] eskorpiao112:
I'm translating already the app to portuguese (portugal) :) Sorry for taking too long, school and other things are taking my free time.

let me know guys what you think of the attached screens :)
[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
I like black theme. Good for amoled display and eyes at evening :)
[Android Apps and Games] freitaz:
I liked the design. Since I don't use this back button, it's fine to me.

Also: the back theme is really cool.
[Android Apps and Games] kcrims:
Thanks for comments, I've worked very hard this weekend, I hope to release new version as soon as possible. :)
[Android Apps and Games] andy hall:
Looks good to me, as with the other comments, Black theme looks good to me.
[Android Apps and Games] garcial17:
Question, will tinted status bar or an L type of status bar be implemented? and could there be an alternative artist album view mode?
[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
Yesterday I figured out that you updated your app on the market. Works smooth on my tablet. Cannot use it on phone until you develop your own media scanner, too much music for default android media scanner.

I have suggestion. You have cover in playlist, what's awesome, but you don't have that in queue on the left. Actually I've found it as quite confusing. Could you add cover in queue? Or maybe somehow show playlist and which song is playing?

Also, it is easy to make mistake and move songs up and down in queue instead of just scrolling list. Maybe make option to lock songs in queue?
[Android Apps and Games] Romagnolo1973:
me too with problem with media, strange behaviour becaus if i go to Genre Tab I can see all my music but in the Album Tab or Artist Tab I can only see some mp3, no more than 3% of my collection. The Album Tab works correctly only with 30 or less files, over this value seems does not show files.

Works good on my old device with low resoluction screen but it use 40 MB of Ram that's too much for a 200MB only device. and this value is the duble compared to other players

Comunque bel passo in avanti dalle prime versioni di qualche mese fa, sto usando la 1.1.4 prelevata dai primi post, ottima la tua collezione di rock progressive che ho visto dalle immagini e bravo "re cremisi"
[Android Apps and Games] JustinChase:
I just installed this app, and so far, I really like it. A couple of things I noticed.

1) I don't have any widgets, are they supposed to be there? I have not installed, or played any music yet, just looking around at the screens first.

2) I see lots of genres that don't actually have any songs attached to them. I suspect they are from music that was installed on my device previously, but doesn't exist on my device currently. Where are you pulling the genre list, and how can I remove the ones that don't have matching music?

Thanks again for sharing, and great job for a first app!
[Android Apps and Games] freitaz:
I've just got the new version through Play Store, and it is really awesome! You did a nice work on this app, and the design is really cool.

I also noticed the appearance of new, untranslated text. Can you release a new version of your strings.xml?

Keep on with the good work! :D
[Android Apps and Games] _Vex:
Just downloaded it from play-store and I really liked the player, great work.

Suggestion: Make other tracker sorting options, like alphabetically, by length, etc.

Also, is there any plan to implement a progress bar on the music that's currently playing so I can go forward and back?
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
I want to thank you for your awesome work you did in the last month by constantly improving this player :) :good:

I have asked you some month ago about the possibility to implement the Album Artist tab, are there any news about this one?
[Android Apps and Games] Ph0enix_216:
Very nice, I think this just became my new favorite music player for Android!

The Good

I like the Action Bar/Underline Indicator pickers. I have them set to black, which when combined with the white background, matches perfectly with my white phone and black case.

The option to set which tabs are visible and select a home tab is pretty sweet.

The notification controls are pretty nice

I like the layout of the Albums tab. Most other music players try to blow up the albums and have only two columns. This app crams a third column into it and scales down the size, which looks very nice.

Equalizer is great

The Eh, Not-Qutie-As-Good

When you leave the app, the music sometimes stops playing, which is a pain if you're multitasking

The OP says it has gapless playback, but... where? I'm not hearing it on my gapless tracks

Album art is very pixelated (although I suppose that could be due to my phone's resolution and the actual dimension of my album art???)

It took me a while to figure out how to get to the now playing screen. Maybe implement a screen or overlay that explains this on the apps first run?

Overall, this app rocks! It's currently set as my default music player on my phone, and I will be putting it on my Kindle Fire HD and a couple other devices I've got lying around. It looks gorgeous and feels great, with just a couple minor issues such as force-closes when you leave the app

EDIT: Hmm., seems like I've been using the 1.1 version of the app. My Kindle Fire HD downloaded the latest version. I liked the gapless playback (nice!!), but I was disappointed that A.) I couldn't set black as my color of choice, and B.) the option to hide certain tabs had become a paid feature :(

Hello guys,

long time i don't update the thread here (damn work :D ), in the last weeks/months i've released tons of Pixel Player build on Play Store, any of you guys is stil using it ?? :)

I would like to hear your comments/suggestions, in order to improve the app (no rest on christmas holidays :D )

I've updated the first post, with current version changelog (all the changes since 1.1) , some new screens (not really updated) and some new information :)
[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
TBH, I'm not using it anymore. Had some problems with it and uninstalled long time ago. Without your own media scanner, I cannot use your player as I have 128 GB sd card with a lot of music and Android just cannot handle it. Most probably even with LP I'm using right now. I had some problems with huge number of photos already.
[Android Apps and Games] kcrims:
I've tried to implement my own media scanner, but it's very time consuming (and would also be necessary to do several test in order to ensure to be supported by all android devices). I'm sorry Zeljko1234, i cant implement it at moment :)
[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
No problem. Your strongest competitor, power amp, has it. If/when you decide to implement let us known to help you with testing.
[Android Apps and Games] freitaz:
I am still using, I also have a colleague who is using too. For me, it's the best music player available.

Lately I noticed a problem, the player keeps stuttering when I am listening to FLAC files. I am using now Android 5.0.1.
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
[MENTION=5901670]kcrims[/MENTION]:

see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56819482&postcount=281

This is the reason why I am currently not using Pixel Player as it does not consider the Album Artist tag, which is available in each ID3.2 tag. Other players like AceMusic or GoneMAD have this sorting option implemented properly. If you would implement an optional tab for Album Artist I would change back to Pixel Player immediately.
[Android Apps and Games] Gallardo994:
Is the development brought alive? Wohooo :D
[Android Apps and Games] kcrims:
I've tried flac on my nexus 4 with 5.0.2 with no issues. Have you tried with different files?

Yes, the development never stopped, I forget only to update the thread :D

Good year everyone :)
[Android Apps and Games] freitaz:
Yes, I have around 1GB of flac to listen (among other mp3 files). When it happens, I just restart the player and then it works fine. For now I am thinking it's a bug on Lollipop itself.
[Android Apps and Games] kcrims:
Yes, i think it's a lollipop bug. I've already seen a lot of issues in android 5.0.1 (i need to update to 5.0.2 :D )

Hello,

Googleplay says my HTC Desire X is not compatible for the app.

Is that normal? or some strange configuration in my phone?

Do you want to continue to share apk file here. I can't see the latest apk. If you continue to share pro apk, I will translate your app to Turkish. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] freitaz:
I think I corrected it. Seems that this issue was being caused due to the use of NuPlayer instead of AwesomePlayer, on development options. I changed it and now it works fine.

EDIT: I got another audio stutter today. I will test another music players for a while also.
[Android Apps and Games] kcrims:
Hi again guys,

i'm working on a new release with a lot of UI improvements (check the attached screenshots), i would like to share it with you before releasing the new version on Play Store.

I would be really happy to hear what you think about this new version (bugs apart :D , i'll try to catch and fix them asap) in order to improve it.

And do not hesitate to suggest me your ideas for next implementations :)

To download the new apk you need to do the following steps

Join this Google Plus community : Pixel Player Testing

Accept to become a tester here : https://play.google.com/apps/testing/it.ncaferra.pixelplayerfree

I know this could be a bit weird , but it's the best way to share the apk with you...and you can get future updates if you forget to check this thread :)

I'll attach a short changelist :

- new 'now playing' tab UI

- new Artist tab (with picture) -> the artists list can be shown by grid or list .

- new Artist Detail tab

- new Album Detail tab

- new material colors

- many improvements and bugfixes

P.S. I would like to create a new logo (in material design) but i sucks at graphics... any help ? :D

P.P.S. i would like to work on music streaming now, what do you think guys ?? I'm looking for a good API now :)
[Android Apps and Games] freitaz:

I would like to see an option to goto Album from the now playing screen. I often listen on shuffle and a song comes on that reminds me of another song on that same album. Itd be great to be able to just go straight to the album. Thanks! I installed this player a long time ago and then again just recently. Great work!

Yesterday i've released 1.6-rc3, I've worked on a new icon/logo, let me know if you like it :)

Good idea, this should be really easy to implement

Thanks :)

To download the beta version, do not forget to :
[Android Apps and Games] freitaz:
I personally like it, except for the bottom left part, which seems like it was folded. I'd prefer a flat icon, I think if you do this it will look great.

Also a suggestion about buttons of "Now Playing" screen: I think you should replace the colorful icons for shuffle and repeat for alternative, white icons. I love the colors of that screen matching the art cover of the music, but for these two buttons it's sometimes hard to see them. For shuffle, you could use two parallel arrows (off) and the current icon for when it's on. For repeat, a single arrow (off), looped arrow (entire playlist) and looped with a "1" inside (single music).
[Android Apps and Games] dorqus:
The latest update fixed my issue - thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] kcrims:
Last release should be stable, all (major) bugs have been fixed.

Starting next week I'll work to implement a new tab (live list) in order to play music over internet.

I can't implement something like Spotify or Rdio because it would be illegal. I'm thinking to stream radio with services like Shoutcast. The idea is to (1) "Suggest" live stations according to "most played" user songs and (2) to browse live stations by genre.

What do you guys think of this feature? Would you use something similar in an android music player ? :)
[Android Apps and Games] Mr Sliff:
I just bought this app and I like it but I have a problem with alum artwork showing up. A lot of albums are missing art even tough all my mp3s are tagged. Downloading art work doesnt fix it. The album art does show in the now playing screen though. Any way to fix this?

Also can you control this app with tasker using the send intent function?
[Android Apps and Games] jzadd:
Good app, needs improving.

Hey I didn't know you were in XDA. I have a couple suggestions. I don't know if this is the way is setup but everytime I connect a jack to my phone the song starts automatically playing, which sometimes I don't like because I gotta make a call or do something different than listening to music.

When I receive a call the music stops but then it won't come back after the call ended. I have to press play again and that sometimes it's annoying.

Also let us choose our own artwork, I have many mistakes with the artwork, for example mozart having an artwork of 50cent. It would be better if you could put a search bar and let us type and choose our artwork like some other players have (PlayerPro has this feature and I believe it's awesome). So far I like this app, I purchased and I don't regret but I hope you keep up the hardwork and keep improving it.
[Android Apps and Games] freitaz:
There is an option to disable it on the settings, it is enabled by default.

I had those also, but I solved it by cleaning the app cache (settings -> apps -> Pixel Player -> clear cache).
[Android Apps and Games] Gallardo994:
I have my own shoutcast radio server so it would be cool if I could listen to it via the player too.

I'm really enjoying Pixel Player - so thank you!

One thing I noticed is that regardless of the checkbox in the settings menu, I can't seem to get lockscreen controls to work (long pressing the volume buttons to rewind or fast forward). I'm running Stock (rooted) Lollipop on a Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900A (AT&T)

Thanks (I'm currently running Version 1.6.03, latest beta as I'm in the G+ beta test group)

Try the last version, you can download custom artist artwork (press the option from a single artist card)

I've already noticied this bug on lollipop, it happens only on some devices. I'll investigate ! :)
[Android Apps and Games] chrisrj28:
Trying out your player for the first time and a I have a couple of questions.

Is it possible to having a way to slide the album art in the now playing screen to go to the next track?

On the now playing screen can you tint the status bar with the album art like in the picture here?

Like what I see so far though.
[Android Apps and Games] dorqus:
Thanks! I actually downgraded to 4.4.2, and the issue is still there, so maybe it's a TouchWiz thing?

I'm on a galaxy S5 g901f lollipop 5.0.2, pixel player v 1.6.1.

I don't seem to be able to add albums to the queue, the option appears and I can press it, but nothing gets added to the queue.

I can add single songs, and entire artist library to the queue, but albums don't work.
[Android Apps and Games] Eppe Jansen:
Good app, very useful :)
[Android Apps and Games] freitaz:
There are two bugs that I noticed:

1 - If I try to use Pixel Player's equalizer after trying to use Android equalizer, the app will show me an error and suggest a reboot. After reboot, it works normally, but if I try to use Android equalizer I will need to reboot my phone again

2 - I always listen all of my songs with random set. When I start to listen, sometimes the player suddenly closes and I need to reopen it. It then repeats 3, 4 times before normal playback (i.e. without closing).

I'm using Android 5.1 on a Nexus 5.
[Android Apps and Games] dorqus:
So I have a lot of music on my phone (over 7000 songs at the moment) and when I shuffle them, I find that I keep hearing the same songs over and over again. Is there any way for a better randomization of the songs? Thanks.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 with a custom lollipop rom on it if it matters.
