Doesn't autoupdate library

Seems a nice player, unfortunately it has too many bugs to be used as a regular daily player, especially when comes to song sorting.

- If I edit tag and e.g. add album name player doesn't recognize that such album already exists, rather keeps two albums with the same name. "Rescan Library" doesn't help and problem persists also after purging app data and cache

- Multiple genre- if I change genre of an album, it appears under both- original and also a new one

- Doesn't retain album image- if I change tag song data, album artwork disappears

I'm not sure whether all these errors are related only to faulty tag editor, the fact that some of my songs use non-english characters or whether those are bugs of the program itself.
[Android Apps and Games] Hippie459MN:
I too was having some similar issues. I was removing albums or changing meta data and using "Rescan Library" did absolutely nothing so I did what was recommended here and then then did a rescan and all is good, but, if you change things up a lot, it can be a huge pain in the ass. Why this is not built in to the app in some way is completely stupid. That is my only major issue with it so far.

Playlists lose tracks on removing memory card

I had temporarily removed the memory card from my phone, and suddenly all the playlists became empty. Even after inserting the memory card, the songs did not come back. All the time spent in creating the playlists went waste.

I understand playlists should not list songs which do not exist, but something should be done for this situation where the songs are not available temporarily. Please fix this.

Bug when skipping current playing song.

Hi there! I've been having a lot of problems lately when it comes to skipping and playing back the current song. I'm using the Pro version of this app and whenever I'm trying to playback the current song by tapping the button on my headphones 3x, it doesn't replay the song but goes back to the previous track! This also happens when tapping the button 2x, instead of playing the song, it skips it and plays the one next to it. It seems like to skip it by either playing the previous track or the next track. I've already tried different settings and different headsets but no luck. This only happens when the screen is off. Other than that everything is working properly for the app except WHEN TRYING TO PLAYBACK THE CURRENT SONG PLAYING. I know this sounds silly, but it really is a big factor especially when you're on the go. Hope this gets fixed soon. My phone is a Nokia 6 (TA-1021) running Android 8.1 with the latest security patch. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Please click the headphone 1x to start playing, 2x or 3x may trigger other operations, such as skip to previous, skip to next.

Hi there,

First of all, I'd like to thank you for your great and consistent development and support for the - personally - most amazing music player app! That being said, I do have a feature request. Would you consider adding a sorting functionality to playlists? That way we would still be able to sort the list e.g. alphabetically after creating it.

Thank you again and have a nice day!

First....

Ads... Just freaking why? BTW I mean the f word.

Second how can you justify a paid app for music... I mean I would rather just deal with Spotify or Pandora then you.

Third

Ads reallllly? Sad AF today's mainstream is developed under the fact of ads.

Never will try this app due to the lack of developer insight on what a "android" user will want.

I rooted to rid myself of ads and paying for trash no one wants
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Playlist is sequence aware, that is why currently there is not sorting methods for it. But you can drag and drop to re-arrange the song sequence manually.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
1. There is no ads in this app.

2. There is paid features such as equalizer and themes in premium version.
[Android Apps and Games] KNGPN Q w Q:
Thank you for your quick answer. Yes, I do know that this is the case and that I can rearrange the sequence by dragging and dropping songs. However, if you have large playlists (let's say 100+ songs), rearranging the sequence is quite a hassle because there is no easy way to do so. I hope that my suggestion is a bit clearer now ;)

Again, have a nice day!

Hi :D Today I found a strange problem... So polish is my native language, I copied new songs to my phone's internal storage and two of them have polish characters. Pulsar has problem with "reading" them, Poweramp for example is working fine... AIMP on Windows 7 also doesn't have any problem. What's interesting- I have other songs with polish characters and Pulsar normally recognized them. I don't know, what is going on, maybe the author broke something ? You can see it on screenshots. Thanks for answer ?
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
This is an encoding problem. Android encoding detection may not be as smart as others.

I suggest you can edit tag for these two songs, using the correct text and then press save, Pulsar will make sure to use the right encoding to save to Android media database.

Plus a drag and drop specialization

Bluetooth Issues in Android Oreo?

Not sure if someone brought this up, but when I updated to Android Oreo 8.0.0 on my Moto Z Play, it's screwed with my Bluetooth headphones, at least in Pulsar.

Before, when I pressed buttons to rewind or go forward in Pulsar, it'd understand them, more or less. Pausing would pause, then would pick up where I left off.

Now, I can't skip or rewind using my headphones at all, and pausing many times makes the app forget where it was in the file.

To be clear, this isn't the app's fault. From what I've been able to research, it seems that Oreo's changed some settings in how it responds to Bluetooth headphones. I'm not sure what this means on your end, so I figured I'd let you know. For all I know, all I need to do is change a setting, or clear some cache again for the millionth time. :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] DataDyne:
Great player, just really missing ALAC support.

And unfortunately around 15-20% of the covers dont show up. My files are all in one folder each tagged with a single 500x500 PNG or JPG file. I have tried to figure out what differs these 15-20% from the other files but couldnt find anything. Seems kind of random.
[Android Apps and Games] beowafle:
This app is perfect but I wish I could hide the buttons on top of the Now Playing screen. I like looking at the whole album art.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
The implementation has been changed between android versions. In old android system, I will manage the earphone keys manually, and now android media session will take over it and some features are missing. I think the only feature which is missing is double or triple click on play button to skip or rewind. If your earphone control contains skip or rewind physical button instead of play button, there should be no problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Lvth:
I bought the app. Samsung displayed all artwork on my gallery so my gallery was filled with album artwork. The workaround is to move all my music to a .nomedia folder. Done that and the gallery was fixed but pulsar+ is now not showing any music. On other apps you can point the app directly for music folders. I only found the exact opposite on pulsar settings which is exclude folder. Please fix this. Ad an include folder as you already added an exclude feature option.

Loving the app, using it for a couple of years on different devices and it works like a charm.

Started using the visual equalizer recently and really liking it! Is it possible to lock the visual equalizer constantly? Sometimes it switches back to the album art. Maybe make it even visible on the lock screen? Don't know if wat i ask is possible at all, if not...well then KUTGW :laugh:

Hi,

Just heard about your app and decided to give it a go.

Is it possible to include a "folder whitelist"? I know there is a default folder, but I often use a main "Audio" folder and a "Download" folder for my music, which are in separate locations. I would rather have these all display in the same place, rather than have to go to the root/main menu to find the folder I want. Thanks!

Could you add an option to make the player to play next folder/album without having to queue?

Let me picture it like this:

Folder ABC contains songs titled 1, 2 and 3.

Folder DEF contains songs titled 4, 5 and 6.

When song 3 ends, the app plays song 4 (which is from next folder/album, without having to queue these folders/albums).

[Android Apps and Games] Skingolf100:
This player does not index my Amazon purchases in their native location. There seems to be no option to direct the app to index that location.

Path is SD card > Android > data > com.amazon.mp3 > files > music > public. I have hundreds of non-drm .mp3 in subfolders of "public." Not willing to duplicate files due to space concerns. Moving files creates hardship on Amazon app. Pulsar plays the files fine if I launch from file browser but even after playing does not index that folder. Please advise.

Pulsar can be my main music player now! Wow!
[Android Apps and Games] Tanyuu:
Thanks for the explanation! That makes sense.

My Motorola s305 headphones do have three separate buttons (one being play), but they're meant to skip to the next track or the last track. Holding them down was what made them go forward or backward.

I'll do some more research. Maybe there's an app or something I can do on my end. Great app, BTW! I've recommended it to a few friends.

Can you take the need of click 2 times the back button to exit the app?

Hey I love the app and I'm very happy I purchased the + version. Hopefully you won't mind some feature requests. With this app I could probably sell my ipod and just use my phone for playing music.

I was hoping for a bluetooth indicator / an option to change the output from bluetooth to phone speaker even when connected to bluetooth

The shuffle and repeat buttons don't indicate when active, so to find out if I'm on a repeat mode I'd have to toggle it off and on / on and off. Same for shuffle.

Custom themes would be really cool.

Also when an artist picture or album picture doesn't automatically load it doesn't give me the option the search for one or attach one, so it stays blank.

Otherwise I love the app and very much appreciate the EQ feature!
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Thank you for your suggestions.

For the bluetooth one, do you mean you want to play music both in bluetooth and speaker at the same time?
[Android Apps and Games] f2bacon:
No what I mean is just an indicator. Similar to an ipod. When you're using a bluetooth headset a little icon shows up letting you know where the audio will come from, and lets you switch between the 2 without having to connect / disconnect

Yes. This player contains a widget. And if you install the latest release 1.2.2, the widget can be re-sized also.

It can support the minimum size to 3*1, and no upper limit. All following sizes are tested and supported:

Hi! First I want to thank you for developing this player, without doubt one of the best with "material design" but I think some things you can add and make the most potential on player .

One is the continuous playback in folders, this I mean that when finished playing the folder "1" pass to the next which is "2" and not stop play or repeat the folder "1", which this added the option to sort folders in the section of songs but I wish they will implement in the folders section. (Many folders in this paragraph :p)

I wish also will implement a tag editor

I would also like that will implement more transitions.

Well I think those are my suggestions for future versions, certainly I see a lot of potential to this player :p

Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Mexico (Tacos Tacos :v)

Would you please consider adding shortcuts (in the sliding menu, check the attached screenshot for a clarification to what I mean) to the album and artist of the currently playing song? That way you would be able to press the artist's picture and it'll take you to the artist's song and album overview or when you press the album, that it'll take you to the album's song overview.

Pulsar relies on Android media store database. If you put .nomedia file in the folder, media scanner will skip that folder and then your music will not be scanned. You can put artworks to a folder with .nomedia, but do not put music files to a folder with .nomedia.

Hi

I've purchased the app. I've been a user of CloudPlayer Premium, BlackPlayerEx and Shuttle Music Player+ but always end up back to Pulsar+. I really like that you are basically giving away the full app without ads, so I figured I would pay and help development. If only more app developers did the same!

I was wondering if the following issues could be tackled since they are the only minor annoyances I have with the app:

1.- On android auto screen, when I plug my phone, the current playing screen is empty and have to select music, even if I was just playing music on the phone. Other players will show up the last play queue that I was listening to before plug-in the phone in the car and I only have to push play. In Pulsar I have to go to the menu, select the queue and then push play, so it's more inconvenient.

2.- Favourite, Shuffle and repeat buttons in Android Auto interface.

3.- Related to this, I think on Android Auto the colours of the custom themes don't change, i.e. it's the default (grey/orange) ones.

3.- Avoid loading embedded art if I already downloaded a cover art for the album. Sometimes these embedded files are in lower resolution and look ugly.

4.- Bigger grid option so artist pictures and album covers look bigger. Related to this, It would be nice if when searching for album art you could add a screen showing all items found from the internet search and avoid picking the fist one found, since it's not always the right one. To be honest, changing the album cover in pulsar takes many clicks... it's far more convenient in CloudPlayer.

5.- Sort Albums by dated added (to the phone).

6.- A panel to show newly added albums (grid) instead of songs. I must be one of the few people that still like to listen to complete albums... I like how Shuttle has a suggestion panel for new music in the library and such.

Anyway, thanks for the app!

Experiencing an issue I may have had before but searching yields no results that's relevant.

I have about 15-20 playlists that are empty and can't be deleted. I can add songs to them, then rename them, but I can't delete them at all. I've tried clearing caches, data, but nothing changes.

I'm on the paid app, on the latest Android Pie on my Pixel 2 XL.
