[Android Apps and Games] MrIlikeit:
Thanks I'm not the only one. There should be a fix for this, or at least a clear explanation - I used to be able to read my files correctly, and all of a sudden Pulsar+ is the only one who doesn't recognise the right order. Omnia does it well, and they're from the same developer.

EDIT: Changed all my tags (5800+ songs) from ID3 v2. 3 to 2.4, and vice-versa, it didn't change anything. When displaying an album, the default view shows the songs in the right order, but when picking "Track #", it's a mess. What's the issue there? All the other players display them correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] Mad Throne:
I got a solution but it won't work for all album.

- force stop the pulsar+

- launch file manager and go to album folder

- and then put tracks numbers in ascending order for example there are three tracks on the album Kyrie elesion, Christe elesion and Et in terra pax. If Kyrie elesion is track one then rename that file to 01 - Kyrie elesion and so on. The important thing is you need to rename all the tracks in order. Then relaunch the app. album tracks will be displaying in order.
[Android Apps and Games] MrIlikeit:
Well, I have done that with MP3Tag (a tag manager that can automatically rename files) and it hasn't change. The default view works correctly and displays tracks in order, but when specifically choosing "Track #", tracks 10/11/12 show up before track 2. Which is odd, as I have them all correctly tagged.

Anyway, I think I'll just go for another player, although it's very disappointing to see that Omnia, from the same developer, works well... ?
[Android Apps and Games] BenjyTec:
First of all, excellent application. I think after the Android 10 update on Pixel 1 I get the following issue in Pulsar+:

Even though I set the "store playback position" setting to >20 minutes, the playback position of every single track is stored. So if I jump forward in the midst of a 4min long song, then jump back again, it will continue playing from the spot I left it before, no matter what the setting is.

Anyone else noticing this? Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Mad Throne:
Seems like they have been working on it or i hope so.

they haven't updated the app like 13 days. so, let give 'em a chance. you are right, we should go for another player. I was using Retro Music and it's really fascinating. It has a bunch of customization options but it also has equalizer weakness.
[Android Apps and Games] rickysidhu_:
Is it possible to include an option to ignore the .nomedia file?

Since Android 10, all album art is showing in my gallery apps. Including a nomedia file in the music folder prevents this, but Pulsar then cannot see any music.

Having an ignore nomedia would resolve this. Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] mickykhanna:
the best player in the entire world ...pls give us the option to change album art and fonts inside the app pls dev
[Android Apps and Games] MrIlikeit:
Update on this track numbers issue: I can only get Pulsar+ to recognize the right order after having tracks 1/2... tagged as 01/02...

Otherwise, track #10 shows up before track #2. So that's my current workaround. If it could get solved, that'd be great.

The only way I've found to see the album release year is through the edit tag option. Could you add this information to the play screen or album selection screen in a future release?

Bug report on Android 10 (or more specific: OxygenOS 10):

I've just copied all my music from my old HTC U11 (Android 9) onto my new Oneplus 7T (Android 10 / OxygenOS 10). When sorting songs my song number, the order is messed up now.

On Android 9, songs were ordered as expected: 1, 2, 3, (...), 9, 10, 11 and so on. But on Android 10, the song numbers seem to be compared lexicographically. This means, the order is now like this: 1, 10, 11, 12, 13 (...), 19, 2, 20, 21, 22, 23, (...), 29, 3, 30, 31 and so on.

Hello,

I'm the PRO version of this Music Player, and I've enabled automatic playback on Bluetooth Headset connection and I've a small issue...

When I connect the BT headset the playback starts, but for 1-2 seconds it starts at the device not at the headsets. After 1-2 seconds the device stops playing music and the music becomes redirected to the headset.

Is there a way to delay the playback a bit to prevent that?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] Inciter:
I have the same problem connecting my phone to my car's BT system.

Almost forgot to mention... Many thanks, using this player for more than a year now.
[Android Apps and Games] MrIlikeit:
Hi there,

Happy to see I'm not the only one having this issue.

My only solution is to use a mass tag editor, such as MP3Tag, and edit all your songs to have a 0 in front of them, meaning:

Track 1, Track 2 etc. become Track 01, Track 02 and so on.

It can be done automatically, which is less than a hassle than it seems, but it's still disappointing to see that the developer hasn't answered either here or per email.

Best.
[Android Apps and Games] Bobpi:
Feature request. I'm sure Pulsar keeps playing stuff it's already played and ignoring other tracks. Could you add a persistent list of tracks played, and only play what's NOT on that list, until there's nothing left to play, then reset the list and start again?

[Android Apps and Games] tjllew:
I have the same problem. Call comes in while Pulsar is playing and I choose "accept call". Not only does the music not pause, the call doesn't come thru. Checked later with the person and they didn't confirmed I didn't answer the call. Phone call mute was on (vibrate), but you'd think it'd work anyway if I say "accept call". I'll try to make sure mute is off next time to see if call actually comes thru and music pauses. Google Pixel 3a Android 10.0 connected to my car stereo via headphone jack. Jeff in Seattle.

Issues with Pulsar

Hey,

Great app, I purchased the full version, but I have some annoying problems:

1- the greatest one, sometimes, when crossfading from one track into the other, the volume randomly sinks (I think it's actually the loudness function, which is on, going off). I tried checking and unchecking the replaygain box, and it doesn't get fixed, and every time I have to restart the app or wait until it rises up again (always when fading into a new track). Sometimes, a new song also starts with a sudden volume boost, only to turn down less than a second later and return to the normal volume. It's really annoying and I don't know how to fix this. This last issue, however, doesn't happen when the phone is playing through BT.

2- There's no way to edit the album cover. The option to search manually in the internet doesn't work, only crashes and crashes.

3- Similarly, two albums with the same name but from different artists will merge. There should be a distinction according to artist.
[Android Apps and Games] Gaylordfalker:
I love this app! It's the best music player I've tried and made me switch from Black Player after four years as my default.

Lately I have been having issues editing the metadata of albums and individual songs - saving my changes never results in any changes at all.

Add the ability to speed up playback in the widget.

I like to read the full song title with the remix in full before choosing what to play, I've requested in Omnia but nobody is responding on whether it can be done so I'm hoping for Pulsar is possible please.
[Android Apps and Games] MrIlikeit:
Well it's a shame the developers haven't put the same effort into correcting a bug in their legacy app. I won't purchase Omnia because I feel completely let down by Pulsar now.
[Android Apps and Games] :
absolutely agree!

Download Album Artwork

Is this implemented in Pulsar+? I didn't see any downloaded Artwork
[Android Apps and Games] :
I dont know whether this is a bug or not, but I can't change the song's metadata. As shown in the screenshot...

How to reproduce the problem?

Well, pick a song that already has "Album", "Artist", "year" and so on in its metadata and you want to clean everything because the album is wrong and artist's name is too.

My songs are in an external sdcard, does it have something to do?

Thanks in advance.

Artist images

I have been hoping this feature will be added. I do not use this app for this reason.

It is a great player, it's such a shame that it is not possible to edit artist image (and even Genre, why not?!)

Android is becoming more and more popular on the DAPs and DAP users often take this kind of thing seriously.

Currently, there are no players that allow this. Some players like jetAudio and Hiby have work arounds that effectively allow you to do this. But if one of these apps actually implemented this option, I am sure it would be a major plus for a small, but significant, number of users!

Bluetooth autoplay

Bluetooth autoplay doesn't work like it should. When I connect my bluetooth headphone, the music starts to play before the connection is made. Thus playing through the phone speakers, which is very annoying. Please build in a delay to ensure sound isn't played before connection is completed (like musicolet has).

Hi,

I've been using it and is very good.

Just found a problem on Xiaomi MIUI CN Rom.

The widget is closed when MIUI local Backup runs.

That happened every time, but:

1 MIUI had that problem since long.

2 Restarting the device or refreshing the home screen by changing the power options revived the widgets.

But:

1 Some other live widgets are not affected, Daff Moon and Phases of the Moon.

2 Power options / restart has stopped fixing the problem.

Could you take a look on that?

Thank you.

feedback and feature request

Hello dear developer(s),

Thank you very much for awesome music player!

It has a lot of useful features, eg. It find more album artworks like any other player I know. Then it has folderplay, search, edit id3 tags, ... all clearly organized and is simple for use. Nice user interface. Just keep going this way!

May I suggest you some improvements, feature requests and let you know some small issues for rework. Please take this as positive feedback.

1. Play queue: Can you please add simple undo command. If queue is accidentally ruined by user, is possible to revert to previous state.

2. Play queue: A new command to randomly reorder songs in queue may be useful in many cases. I don’t prefer shuffle.

3. In some cases player show wrong character in song title. I checked id3 tag, it is okay. Hereby mp3 for debug (rhmsoft check email).

4. Browse library, building queue: The button (3 dots) on the right side is so tiny, that I quite often accidentally miss it. Please change this for better user experience.

5. Playback widget on home screen: Seems to be buttons too tiny, because really often I miss them. My reaction opens Pulsar instead of a wished button is presed. Increase the button field to whole available area and make more comfortable usage.

6. Browse library, building queue: Maybe suggestion for unique feature. Lets say that play queue exist, song is already playing and you are in the middle of building (adding songs) longer queue. There is maybe a need for song preview and then you decide if you want to add it into queue or not. Current play queue must stay untouched due preview.

7. Album artwork: However firstly congratulations, that Pulsar automatically find artworks for so many albums. Very rarely Artwork is updated late, after 5 – 15 sec by playing next song. But for sure pressing shuffle (either on or off) confuse Pulsar and lead to behavior, that whole song the false artwork is displayed. Behavior can continue to next song, the artwork is changed but still wrong. Look like artworks are randomly taken from songs in play queue.

8. Save, backup and restore: I miss possibility to save playlists as *.pls or *.m3u to SD card. Of course option to read playlist from SD card (and created with other players).

Sorry, I can't link screenshots here. I have no permission from moderators of xda forum.

I'm using premium version and I tested all above on most recent Pulsar+ v1.9.4. My Samsung s4 mini runs Android 9 pie (custom rom Lineage 16.0 -20191212-serranoltexx)

You are on good way, just continue developing the Pulsar Music player. If possible, implement this small suggestions and make Pulsar even better. Keep it simple as is, without unnecessary things.

[Android Apps and Games] pinkbecca:
hi, could you please add an option to automatically clear the Play queue after every song has played, rather than going to manually press the "Clear queue" button, please.
[Android Apps and Games] tcressy:
Just downloaded this app & it's great, just what I was looking for - thanks!

Two suggestions for development:

1: When we tap on a track to play it, the main player screen should be raised rather than having to tap on it at the bottom of the screen to raise it. This could be an option in the setting menu if not all want it, but it's the way other players behave & should be the default.

2: Option in settings for albums to be defined by folder rather than tags (i.e. all 1st level files in a folder are the same album using the folder name). This may sound strange, but my old music app had this option & it was very useful!

Many thanks for your consideration & a great app :)

[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Pulsar support to sort correctly in your scenarios. Please use sort by song title (alphabetically) to have a try.

Hi, I bought the Pulsar+ Pro version. How do I disable the light gray folder paths that are displayed underneath each folder name in the screen that lists all the folders (in the standard view)? It is very distracting. I'm not talking about the gray text underneath each individual song that is listed when I click on a folder in the list (That's fine, because it only shows the artist name in gray text and is not distracting). I'm talking about the folder paths displayed in gray underneath each folder in the list of folders. Thanks.

I can't change album covers. It says:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Error when saving tags to following files: [lists file locations of all the songs in the album]

When I change the covers for each individual song using another app (Star Music Tag Editor), I see the new cover for each song when I play it in Pulsar+, but not for the album as a whole in my library. The new album cover is also visible in other music apps, but not Pulsar+.

In my most recent experience with this error, the first song in the album's cover remains unchanged, whereas the rest of them get the new cover when I change it in Star; the new cover is visible across the entire album in other music apps.

Separately, is there any way to see the number of times that I have listened to a song in my Most Played playlist? If not, are there any plans to add this as a feature?

Thanks in advance :)
