First of all, congratulations on your hard work. I bought the paid version because I think Pulsar is amazing. I just wanted to report a pair of things that seems a little annoying.

1) In the album view, I like to sort them by release date and although I have my songs correctly labeled, with the correct release year, in some cases albums are sorted in reverse order, I don't know why. Maybe a bug?

2) The track list that appears in Album View are sorted by the selected criteria and then by an order unknown to me. I think it would be very useful if we could sort the track lists, from any view, by more than one hierarchical criteria.
[Android Apps and Games] JohnLoud:
Hello, first great app, really. I have found a couple of problems but I think you can solve easily, I hope

1) Unlegible names, some album are impossible to read. The gray text, I can't see an option to change. I think the best way is use white text for dark cover and the opposite for light cover.

Imgur.com/a/IWEc6

2) Tags. The first thing you can't remove song image, this is a feature request like we can do for album. Second is music tag. I have replace a tag from "Pop/Soundtrack" to "Pop, Soundtrack" for both album and song, was just one song. Now in tab Tag i have two entry to the same album, with slash and with comma...

If I'll try to delete the one with the slash Pulsar delete both since is one song. The only solution I have found is remove the song, edit with mp3tag on windows and recopy on device. Too much time...

3) I don't have understand how to remove the bar when you play the song. I have try to pause and Swype out but is always there, also if I exit. I'd like to close, maybe you can add a simply X button or something similar?

Imgur.com/a/o2V5n

4) What about .lrc file? There is only the support for embedded lyrics but not for .lrc? If not please add it, thanks

Please solve it and many thanks for the app

It's sometimes come sometimes go. When I listen to music and unplig the headphone without stop of the music it will play it without sound.

Could not find a way to reproduce just I listen to 10-30 min unplig and still plays. Sometimes after 2 min.
[Android Apps and Games] Laskr1999:
So i did find out. It starts automatocally,but music not. When i click on notification it stops showing it. Maybe it will help.

It is a good music player,i love it. Better than Sony-s music or oneplus, google. Better than poweramp, I don't like that.
[Android Apps and Games] Thor 303:
Hello, I really like your player and want to thank you for the huge efforts you've put in the app.

The only problem I've experienced is that the waiting list fills itself without lots of tracks In didn't select. Do I something wrong or is this a bug?

Greetings from Belgium.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
If possible, could you send me some test music files whose album cover can not be loaded to support@rhmsoft.com, it is easier to fix the problem if I can reproduce it on my testing devices, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
The playlists are stored in Android database instead of Pulsar itself. I suppose this is not caused by the update. But I would like to add some features to make some backup of current playlists to work around similar problems.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
It is a known issue and not a simple problem. Currently I did not find solution for this. I will try in future releases. Sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
The songs in album can be sorted in multiple methods. You can change it from action bar.

For the release date problem, I will consider this in future releases.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Thanks for your advices. For the 3rd problem, the playback bar will only disappear when all music are finished playing. If you goto playing queue and remove all songs, the bar will also disappear.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Thanks for your information. I will try to reproduce and fix this problem in future releases.
[Android Apps and Games] razelfragel:
Hi, I very much enjoy this music app and decided to purchase the premium version. Unfortunately, the custom artist images I made for every artist in my music library did not carry over to Pulsar+, and I didn't have these images backed up because I felt they were taking up space on my phone. Yet when I access the free version of Pulsar on my phone the images are still there. Is there a folder which contains all custom artist images so I can manually transfer them to Pulsar+?

Also on a more minor note, I think it would be nice if you included an alphabet scroller on the side for albums/artists (similar to the default Samsung Player), as well as including the track number next to the corresponding tracks when viewing albums. And it would also be nice to see the release year for each album, I haven't found a way to display the year when viewing an artist's albums.
[Android Apps and Games] tofylion:
I would love if this player had some more gestures to go with the animations.

playlist disappearing

my playlist keep disappearing every time there is update to Google system. doesn't happen with VLC player.

using Xiaomi Mi A1

android 7.1.2
[Android Apps and Games] nonononono@gmail.com:
1 Bug. 1 Request.

Bug: Gapless playback is not gapless. If I play the album in iTunes, it is gapless. If I play it in Pulsar, there is half a second of silence between each song. Android 7.0 Galaxy S8 latest version of Pulsar.

Request: The default artist picture is a silhouette of a frizzy haired woman. I manually changed each picture to get rid of this, but when scrolling she still pops up for a second. Why not put something more neutral, like a music note?
[Android Apps and Games] c0untd0wn:
Great app.

Just purchased full version.

Unfortunately nothing imported from the free version! :(

Request :

Can you add a quick way to access the equaliser from current song and other screens?

Also is it possible to add an option (toggle off option for people who don't want this) to choose predefined equaliser settings depending on genre?

Eg classical genre equaliser settings very different to dance / R&B / training audio tracks

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:

[Android Apps and Games] drizzt09:
I would like to make a request. Your app is the best in the store. But I'm looking for a feature that is really hard to come by. Very few have the feature and the ones that, do not work.

I'm looking for an option to share what I'm listening to on social media.

Example if I'm listening to "Linkin Park - Crawling" I would like to click a button or menu option to share this information. "I'm listening to Crawling by Linkin Park. #nowplaying" with the option to post post it to Facebook and Twitter.( I'm sure other would be good too).

To top it off album cover could be sent too.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] JohnLoud:
Work fine, thanks. Don't forget the "gray color of the text" and the cover-type tag, when you have time.
[Android Apps and Games] pixel_jason:
It's great Android Auto support is added but a few things would make it perfect:

1) A way to turn shuffle on and off

2) A "Shuffle All" button would be great.

3) Sort order seems to carry over from the settings in the full app. Adding date added and reverse sort order for Albums and Artists would be excellent especially for Android Auto use.

Thanks for the great work!

Dear Sir,

Please include an option to change animation of expanding now playing.

Shuffle and Repeat Button

Shuffle and repeat buttons have inconsistent colors (switches between white and orange). The toast message duration for the shuffle and repeat buttons are too long and causes confusion when pressed in succession rapidly. Everything else is good. Loving it

[MENTION=6073508]rhmsoft[/MENTION] I have sent you multiple bug reports in emails to the address provided on the website. Can you please check if you have received them? They were sent on 6 November 2017 3:13 PM UTC+1 and 7 November 2017 6:56 PM UTC+1
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
I have received them. I need time to respond. Sorry for the inconvenience.
[Android Apps and Games] EXA Lab:
Looks good and lightweight, I just wonder if it support the MIDI format. Got to try it out when I have time.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
For the request, could you send me a video to demonstrate the problem? I am not sure how to reproduce it. If you have changed the artist image manually, it should be used. You can send the video to support@rhmsoft.com.

For the bug, I am not sure why this happens. This might be device dependent. I can not reproduce this on Galaxy S7 but I do not have S8 now. If possible, could you send me two or three songs, which need to be played without gap, to support@rhmsoft.com, for me to have a test? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
This is not a common requirement. I will consider this in future releases.

lost feature ? latest song heard by default

Hello,

I'm new to this forum. I've been using Pulsar for a while now. Until recently, each time I went into the app, the latest song heard would appear by default. Even if I had the phone restarted.

For my usage this was a great plus.

The feature disapeared about a week ago, was there an update in the meantime?

Unfortunately now I have to reselect album + song when I enter the app.

Is there a setting to get the lost feature back?

Regards,
[Android Apps and Games] ahmadravat:
Hi, I am very happy with this player but am resisting it's use for two simple reasons. On android auto, the shuffle and repeat buttons are missing, which is a huge inconvenience. Similarly, it does not start to autoplay music from the last song or playlist played. If not for these two reasons, I would definitely use and promote this app :(
[Android Apps and Games] alex8001:
Hey.

First, great music player, I really enjoy using it.

I noticed that the shuffle mode is broken.

I know the order of the songs already

Can you please add pulsar plus to this screen?
[Android Apps and Games] mistervela:
Please add default music folder and playback progress status

I love this app. I love the feature of excluding folders but the one thing is missing is the default folder selection. I only picked one tab: Folder and I select music with the Hierarchy Folder-mode view but everytime I open the app it goes straight to the default location which is my smartphone's internal storage. I would like to choose a default music folder in the external SD card. Also, it would be amazing to have a feature to keep the progress status of a playback, this will help to listen to very long audio files such podcasts or audiobooks instead of trying to find the time where you left it off everytime you playback that file.
[Android Apps and Games] scoopman:
I came across your app while looking for a good one to help me to play local music for my toddler via Android Auto while driving. So far it looks pretty good for this use case. Two questions however:

-- Can you expose a shuffle toggle in Android Auto?

-- My music doesn't look up properly as it's toddler songs ... is there any way to have Pulsar use album art that's in the directory with the MP3s? For example it would be great to just have a default filename picked up by the app and used as the album art if that filename is there.
[Android Apps and Games] NovaViper:
How do I add my music from my SD Card to Pulsar? The app doesn't seem to be able to find them
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
From any screen, you can open the navigation drawer by swiping from screen left to right, and then click "equalizer" menu item.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Now when you restart the app, what does it look like?

Could you contact support@rhmsoft.com for this problem? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
When you click "shuffle" button from any page like album, will the songs be shuffled?

When you switch shuffle button on/off from now playing page, will the songs sequence in playling queue be changed?
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
The playing status will be persist when the music playback is paused or stopped, including the progress.
[Android Apps and Games] GusLeChinois:
Hi, I really like this music player. Thanks for all the work.

I have an issue with the sorting by date. For some reason, some albums are not sorted and are always on top, whatever the date I put in the tag of the album.

If you could solve this on a future version, that would be wonderfull ! :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] krammaii:
First, I would like to express how much I love this app. Best music player on the Android marketplace.

ONE QUESTION: I have had to get two replacement phones and when I reinstall Pulsar my custom artist images disappear despite restoring my phone from backup. Is there a way to manually back up these files so I can copy them onto my new phone? It is a pain to redo them all again... takes hours.
[Android Apps and Games] midgelfc:
Hi [MENTION=6073508]rhmsoft[/MENTION] will earphone remote control be added to the app, as in double click for next song, triple click to go back etc?

Great app

There is only one downside and I know it's not just me as I got a friend to use for a week to double check (plus me uninstalling and reinstalling).

The PLAYLIST AUTO DELETE THEMSELVES AFTER A DAY OR SO, SOMETIMES LESS!? Ultra-frustrating lol, especially after cherry picking them so perfectly.

And my dumb self keeps creating them just to see them vanish loool.

Honestly, fix this. This is not good lol.

Cheers (Great app otherwise)

Is m3u now working?

Hey three88bu,

are .m3u-Playlists now working? I search for an exchange for the PowerAmp Player, which is last updated in 2016. I sync my iTunes library manually to my SdCard and export all of my 54 .m3u-playlists. Samsung Music and PowerAmp get it done, but I look for another music player, especially with smartwatch/android wear playlist browsing like in Samsung Music Player. But Samsung Music cannot play .alac tracks.

I have the same problem as you, is there any workaround?

Greetings Newtoir
[Android Apps and Games] jhs39:
Maybe I'm missing something but adding an artist image manually seems to be virtually impossible. There is a Google Search function. Fine. But there is no command to add any located image to Pulsar. Downloading the image into my phone does no good because there is no way to select a photo from the download folder in Pulsar. Copying the image does no good because there is no way to paste it into Pulsar. I have the paid version of this app but I can't for the life of me remember why I bought it.
[Android Apps and Games] CrEdge:
I like the app so far except for one thing: Embedded artwork smaller than ~500x500 pixels will not display. Please fix when able, I don't care if they're centered, cropped, or stretched.

Album-artist tagging

I have been using Pulsar+ for the past six months and love it! Easily the best music player for smart phones.

The only issue I am having is tagging. For instance, I have a 50 Cent album that has other featured artists. Now I tried the trick where you put "various artists" under album-artist. It worked! Only problem is under Artists, it's also showing the featuring artist tags which kind of defeats the point. What can I do to fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] hniu:
+1 to mistervela request. Being able to choose default music folder would be amazing! I have music folder on the SD card and navigation is not straightforward.
[Android Apps and Games] Rohden11:
I'm having the same problem also.

Awesome app but loosing playlist is super annoying.
[Android Apps and Games] Dan33185:
Same here, either playlists get deleted, or playlists list the wrong songs. I have a Bob Dylan playlist I created on my computer, export to M3U and put on my phone. Pulsar detects and it works fine for a few days, then all of a sudden that playlist is filled with songs that shouldn't be, and the ones I included on the playlist originally are gone. Super frustrating.
[Android Apps and Games] mtpx7:
I've sent the Dev an email about this:

1. Open the app and play music

2. Press home/back to exit the app

3. Pulsar notification then appears. Hit pause.

4. Remove app from recents.

5. Pulsar notification appears again like if it was playing, but it's not. I have to press pause then swiping the notification away.

Anybody had this?
[Android Apps and Games] Missileoid:
This app is way better than the other 5 music players I tried! It leaves only a small amount to be desired. As someone else requested, I would like to be able to swipe songs from right to left in the play queue to remove them.

One feature I would like to see that probably only performers and dance instructors would want is a "one at a time mode". What I am thinking for that is to have another option to cycle through on the repeat button that has a straight arrow and a 1, to indicate that it plays one song and doesn't repeat. The functionality would be to stop at the end of the currently playing song and wait until play is pressed again to start the next song.

Thank you for making this wonderful app and considering my requests! You have done something no one else has done for Android, made a simple and fresh looking music player that still has a good amount of functionality! I am really impressed!
[Android Apps and Games] BUTCHER0123:
After the last app update the songs in the playlists have been shuffled in a no specific order.As a previous user said I cherry picked each song and put them in a specific order .Is there any chance to revert the playlists to the previous order? To start all over again after almost one year of work would be a huge effort.

My device Samsunng Galaxy A3

App ver 1.6.1

Android ver:6.0.1

On Pi player the order is just the way it should be.I guess it's a matter of Pulsar player display, rather than the playlist itself ,which is a great relief.

The two images show the differences ,the red one being the way it all should be and the grey being the way Pulsar shows it.

Thanks in advance for assistance.

Hi there,

I do hope you're enjoying the holidays and thank you for that sweet update :D

Would you be able to add an option to auto-fetch the lyrics of the now playing track? I personally think this would be a neat feature to have.

Thank you, enjoy the rest of the holidays and have a nice day!

Kind regards,

[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Pulsar did some work on managing playlists by itself, because currently playlist often disappear on Android devices.

The mechanism in this management system is:

1. If you are using Pulsar to update the playlist, and the playlist stored in Pulsar is the same with system ones, the modification will be synced to system database.

2. If you are using other app outside of Pulsar to modify playlist, which lead the difference between system playlist and pulsar one, then pulsar will use its own playlist.

In your snapshot it seems the playlist in Pulsar is not sync with system one. Please use Pulsar to manage any playlist modification to avoid this kind of problem.
[Android Apps and Games] BUTCHER0123:
Thanks for the reply and a Happy New Year to everyone! Is there an option to do this within the app,or I have to do it myself ? If I have to do it myself,then the case is solved by the Uninstall button. All the time only Pulsar has been used,nothing else.

I didn't have the disappearing playlist issue either.
[Android Apps and Games] constructionlaw:
I have an issue since moving to 8.1 on Pixel 2.no song count in playlists. I also lost playlists when I transferred the app and settings from my old phone.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
What I introduced is current mechanism, you do not need to do anything.

If the playlists are in mass state between Pulsar and system ones, you can also clear Pulsar app data, then it will sync playlists again.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Is this problem related to Pulsar latest version 1.6.1?
[Android Apps and Games] constructionlaw:
It is, but I cleared the data and now that I'm rebuilding the playlists, the song counts come back, though I did have to rebuild the playlists.

Pulsar Feedback

Hi!

I hope this is the right place to write about the bug I noticed a few days ago.

Look at the song duration and current time. The current time (02:19) is larger than displayed duration (02:00):

The length of this song is exactly 3 minutes. Pulsar shows 02:00 instead of 03:00. And this is not the only bug. While playing after 01:59 when the song reaches 02:00 player displays 01:00

then in about half a second, it changes to 02:00.

Best wishes and Happy New Year!
[Android Apps and Games] digitalfree:
Please add Smart Playlists like gone mad music player. Then there is just a little need for regular playlists I guess ?
[Android Apps and Games] pathum1:
I've been using pulsar for over an year now and hands down it's the best music player out there - period. You are doing an awesome job!!!

Maybe this has been already spoken about but I'm just making a small note here, is it possible to move the three dots in front of each song towards the song a little bit more? I say this because especially when u're using one hand you tend to scroll accidently while trying to use the song options.

Anyway, it's just a suggestion, keep up the good work guys!!!
[Android Apps and Games] gemiplus:
Pulsar music player is really really good. The only issue I have is certain song titles/album names/etc getting gargled up if they have certain unicode characters. For example 雷鳴拍動 won't display correctly. Is that something you're considering changing?

Playlist mode

In playlists mode. Is it possible to add album information for each item? Or the album cover appears replacing the play icon.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Using the pro version of this software and I have some issues:

For some artists the app says that I had 0 albums when I have set the album name. Also the app isn't loading the artist name or the album cover for some other mp3 files.

Anyway to generate a log that helps to solve these issues?

Also, it's possible to disable the notification background changing when the music is playing?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Could you send me the music file for me to have a test? I can fix this problem if I can reproduce it.

Please send to support@rhmsoft.com. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
In playlist mode, I think artist name is more important than album name.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
There might be some album, which contains some songs that are not played by the same album artist. So when you view artist, you can find the artist name with no album related. You can change the view mode from artist to album-artist to avoid this problem.

There might be some album cover which can not be found, either because the album name with artist name combination is incorrect, or because the album can not be found in album registry(Spotify).
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
This is a known issue and currently I cannot fix it on app level since this is an android media store problem.
