I think having the ability to change the sorting on these 'normal' views (album/artist/folder) would be a nice feature too :D It's the one thing I feel I'm missing. Not sure what would be the best way to implement sort switching. Perhaps in the way way you can change the view? on that drop down?
[Android Apps and Games] stupidfellow1997:
i suggest to choose unicode manually like what poweramp did:cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] wakdredf:
thanks the developer for this beautiful player!

i have a small request, can you add replaygain support?

thanks!

Like you, I had some issues with how the equalizer looked. It just didn't fit the material design. I used the CM theme engine to modify the equalizer images to try and give it a more material design look. Actually, I themed the entire app, which is why the color scheme is different than any of Pulsar's stock themes. Not bad for a really quick first try. I will probably tinker a bit with it over time, but it's better than the stock equalizer look IMO because it doesn't look out of place.
[Android Apps and Games] Holty07:
I'm loving this player so far. All the features I wanted in rocket player without the subscription fee. One thing I'm missing is shuffle by album though. Is this possible?
[Android Apps and Games] serpentxx:
Bought this player last night and deleted Poweramp, this interface is just so much simpler to navigate.

wont be able to try it out with my Bluetooth car deck for a week but i am sure it will play nice with it

Would like to suggest you replace the "Exclude folder" option with " Include Folders", it makes far more sense to add one or two folders than to exclude all but one or two.

Also would like to suggest to be able to manually change the "accent colour" of the cards when in Albums/Artist view, sometimes i have an album cover thats black and white and there is a tiny bit of red writing on it, so it chooses the card colour as red when black would make more sense.

Finally i think the app logo colours should be changed to black and white or something, i dont think purple/yellow fits, but thats just a personal thing

Besides all that, great app, definitely my standard player from now on!
[Android Apps and Games] 6mit68:
Hello. Very much your appendix is pleasant. One question. The player has found in the Internet and has loaded covers of performers, and they are correctly displayed ONLY in the performers tab, but on a widget and the screen of reproduction of melodies is empty. It and has to be or only I have a problem (cm 11, 4.4.4kk). Doesn't find a cover of albums as it is the collection of songs. Excuse for the text. Translator of rus/eng. Yours faithfully, Dmitry.
[Android Apps and Games] vallerydelexy:
I see, this music player started to moving to right direction on each update.

And again, i can still see drag-to now playing is not yet implemented
[Android Apps and Games] vallerydelexy:
Oh yeah, 1 more thing.

I dont know about what people like or other people taste

But i think that "play" symbol on every song title isnt necesary, its look so crowded rather than clean
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Sorting can already be changed for these views. From action bar, click three dot button, then choose sort type menu item to change it.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
I will have a look.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Woo.. beautiful picture, looks nice, I can not recognize it to be my app.

The image for widgets need to be more elegant, but it is good enough for the first try. I think this is the correct direction!
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
What do you mean by "shuffle by album"? If you click any album, in album page, the floating action button is shuffle button.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Could you send me a snapshot in this scenario(black, white, red writing)?

I have tested lots of launcher icons recently and finally picked this one, it won't be changed in near future, sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
This app will fetch both album cover and artist image. For widgets, it should show album cover instead of artist image.

If the album cover is not shown, it may because that search using the album and artist name can not locate the album cover image from internet.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Do you mean that you want to pull the playing bar up and then show the now playing page?
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Woo... You only keep the song and playlist tabs.

The play button just shows the status for current song, whether it is playing, paused or not.

I also considered to use album cover here, but the performance won't be very good.
[Android Apps and Games] vallerydelexy:
Yap, pull the playing bar up.

thats a sweet feature.

Google music and apple music have it

And yeah, i personally only use those 2 tab.

Songs and playlist.

About the cover image replacement for play symbol

Thats pretty nice.

Just give a button to enable or disable the cover image so low end device doesnt have lag issue
[Android Apps and Games] inversechi:
Ahh I saw. I guess what I was after was having a new sort order for "Date Added". Especially in the Album view.
[Android Apps and Games] flyinjoe13:
Thanks. When you say the image for widgets, which image are you referring to? The one that indicates on and off under each slider or the one you press on to move the sliders up/down or left\right?
[Android Apps and Games] Holty07:
I'd like the ability to play an album through then have another album randomly selected. Just a personal preference for listening to music. I have a massive variety of styles.
[Android Apps and Games] vdelao:
Can you please add a favorites tab on the main screen in the next update? Having to open the sidebar, open playlists, and swipe to the favorites tab is a bit of a pain, especially when trying to change songs with one hand.

Thanks for the great app, keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
I mean both.:highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Do you mean the date when this album is released?
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Sorry current this is not supported. It seems a kind of recommendation according to listening history.
[Android Apps and Games] inversechi:
I mean added to the library. For example - I like to sometimes listen to the newest albums that I have copied to my device.
[Android Apps and Games] Holty07:
No worries. This is the only thing keeping me off buying the premium app. Rocket player has this functionality so I'll stick with it for now. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] V4lve:
Any chance of reading embedded CUE sheets. I have a load of albums as FLAC files with embedded CUE sheets and Pulsar shows each as a huge single track
[Android Apps and Games] fangio501:
This is a great looking player. Thanks for all your hard work so far.

There are a couple of things that would make it the best!!

1) Display Album Artist in the Artist tab. I know there is an entry under the extension menu called "View Mode" but that doesn't seem to work. The display does not change.

2) Ignore "The" at the start of artist name when sorting so that "The Coral" comes between Chumbawamba and Editors (for example)

3) On an artist page display the albums in chronological order. It puts them in alphabetical order by default and changing the order with the "Sort Order" under the extension menu has no effect.

Thanks

I'm using Pulsar+ 1.3.7.

I'm having reboots on my S7 Edge when pressing next/ previous track buttons on my Bluetooth earphones. Not always. It seems random.

This does not happen when playing on other players like Poweramp.

Hello,

I amy trying free version of Pulsar Player. I found it awesome. One thing I want to do. I want to embed my own artist image via mp3tag software. But when I play that song in my Note5 pulser player, it still downloads and displays its own version of artist image (Which are totally irrelevant, in my case).

Please suggest me how could I stop it downloading artist image and displaying my embedded artist image. It has no problems in showing Front cover image though.

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] deathhyver:
Please please double check if lockscreen works, mine did not show in lockscreen... and please please make the albums and artist load faster... as of now I haveto wait 45 secs to show the artists and albums pictures... also Please please if artist and album arts were downloaded during with connection make it permanent in sd card so even I have no internet connection arts shows... Also please please make use of other database that shows the right album arts, because some automatically put wrong artist photos... also, please please add short discription about the artist in artist menu...I think that would be all.. if all okay.. then PULSAR + is far good compare to spotify and other apps... Thank You... and by the way, when will be the next update? do you have tentative or estimated dates? MORE POWER...

this music player looks gr8
[Android Apps and Games] seriosbrad:
Would like to see a transparency option for the home screen widget, and an option to disable the exit app confirmation toast. Otherwise its a great player. I switched from Shuttle+ to Pulsar+

Posted from a rooted/modded Note 4
[Android Apps and Games] YUxDI:
It's get some trouble with a few audio mod lib flashed. I flashed DivineBeats with Dobly Atmos and it's not working (like can't play music, the 'song duration indicator still running' but there's no any sound). I think just Pulsar app that has 'sort order' (Title, Artist, etc), if i'm not wrong, that's why i like it. And the other music play just sort the song by it's title (there's no option for sort order).
[Android Apps and Games] seriosbrad:
Seems to me like shuffle mode isn't a true shuffle. When I come back to the app after closing it and hit shuffle again, it will play the tracks in the same order as the last shuffle. It should be more randomized.

I can confirm this by looking at my last.fm play history.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
When you choose Album-Artist in artist tab, it should only list the artist who has album in your library. If it does not work, please contact support@rhmsoft.com and provide some additional information.

Current sort order in artist page only affect the songs list, but I will support albums list in future releases.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
This problem should be fixed in next release 1.3.8. If possible, please contact support@rhmsoft.com, I can send you the temp build for you to have a test first.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
So you are talking about artist image? I am a junior user of mp3tag and I can only find the way to insert album cover image.

I know that from ID3 tag standard you can insert mime type for the cover image, such as artist or recording location, but currently I think this field has not been supported by Android and Pulsar.

But now you can use Pulsar to insert artist image instead of mp3tag. You can edit tag for artist and insert your image.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
For lockscreen problem, please contact support@rhmsoft.com and provide more information such as your device type, android version and if you have any 3rd party rom installed.

For loading time, it also depends on how many songs you have and how powerful your device is. Commonly 45 secs is too long to show album/artist lists. If the loading time is the time to load the images, it also depends on the network status.

Currently there is cache for artist and album artworks, the cache is 50mb at most.

The next release should be published within one week or two.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Pulsar has no built-in decoder, it will use your native decoder so maybe some file formats are not supported.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
You are not the only person who complain this. But I can not reproduce this yet. Could you please contact me at support@rhmsoft.com then we can get more detailed communication. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] konopla4:

[Android Apps and Games] adriansticoid:
Default AOSP music player, Playerpro and some other players does not display songs in the correct alphabetical order. But these, Pulsar, Stellio and JetAudio, sorts the song correctly. Why is that? I had this problem since I had an android phone. Editing song tags does not fox it.

do yo have plan, to add lyrics support?
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Tiny size? Oh yeeaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh :D

Could you explain the main differences between the free/pro versions?

Having more widgets and a control on their design would be appreciated.

After hitting the widget I didn't find a way to go back to the main screen. I only have access to the current song and my playlist. The arrow at the top left brings me back to my homescreen.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
From almost every page of Pulsar Music Player, you can swipe from left edge to right, to open navigation drawer, you can go to any page you want from anywhere. Have a try.
[Android Apps and Games] De_Falt:
Here's what its suppose to look like with the attachment below.

Tempo Definition: The tempo of the track is the speed of the track. When you listen to music in different genres, you’ll notice that some are slow and some are fast. Tempo can change the sound/music to play at faster or slower speed than original, without affecting the sound pitch.

Pitch Definition: In music theory, pitch represents the perceived fundamental frequency of sound. In other words, pitch changes the sound pitch or key, without affecting the tempo or speed of the song.

The "Link" button is used to link the 2 together.
[Android Apps and Games] bilibug:
Really nice player, but a couple of deal breakers are keeping me from purchasing/using it as my default music player.:

1)No Album Artist list, as previously mentioned. Breaks up soundtracks and compilations into multiple items in list.

2)Does not utilize track numbers for an album. Songs are in alphabetical order. Not everyone uses playlists to put songs in the order they want to hear them. Many people want to listen to an album as is.

3)Google Now does not recognize it as a music player for voice commands.
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Did you at least try what I said before posting your answer? Swiping from left to right does nothing from the Play Queue screen or it switches to another track after hitting the widget. No drawer.

EDIT: there's a serious issue with wakelocks. I unfreezed your app this morning to add a widget but I didn't launch the music. Here is what I have now.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Please have a look at attachment images, please swipe from left edge to right in player screen to open the navigation drawer, follow the white arrow I marked in the screenshot.

For the wake lock issue, do you mean that even you did not play any music, Pulsar will still acquire the wake lock?

I saw from your screenshot that Pulsar player is running, please click the pulsar icon in status bar, from pulsar notification, press "x" to stop the playback and have a check again?

I have set the wake lock to media player and it should be able to control wake lock while playing by itself. There might be some bugs in my app. I will have a test.

BTW, what do you mean by "unfreezed my app"? Do you use any app to control something on your device? Do you mean unfreeze from "BetterBatteryStats"?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Actually the swipe gesture doesn't work well on my device because I use PIE controls at the left of the screen. I have to swipe from the bottom left corner to be able to reach the nav drawer.

I used Titanium Backup to freeze Pulsar due to the wakelock and I already use another music player so I didn't want to have conflicts during my tests. I'll check later for the wakelock and let you know if the problem persists.
[Android Apps and Games] Alexander Perec:
What is the main different from standart music player - what is you killer feature?
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
What is your standard music player? Different device has different default player, such as walkman for sony devices.

I think you can just install and have a try, the user experience is different, Pulsar is easy to use and comply with material design.

[Android Apps and Games] Sami Kabir:
Its an excellent Music Player - I've been using it for about a week now. Good job, rhmsoft! :)

I have a request. I think the (home screen) widget needs some improvements. For me, there is only one 4x1 widget available and I'm afraid it doesn't look quite good. So can you please work on it, a little? Perhaps introduce newer ones like 4x2 and 4x3?

Thank you. :o

Hi! The player notification after the latest update is too white and too bright, with low visibility. Could you make it dark again? It looks like this on my phone:
[Android Apps and Games] jhonwright56:
Awesome Music Player App with Gorgeous Features
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
May I know which device and ROM you are using?

I force the background of notification to be white since some UI are using dark backgrounds with light text on Android 5.0+.

If possible, could you contact support@rhmsoft.com? I can send you a temp build which should solve the text color problem in your notification.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
I have no huawei p8 for testing. After Lollipop(Android 5.0) lock screen widget is replaced by notification directly. Do you mean that the notification does not show on your lock screen?
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Thanks for your advice.

From my perspective, these features are nice to have but a little complex for user, they won't know how to use it until there is a user manual. I think currently Pulsar is user friendly and do not need user manual.
[Android Apps and Games] konopla4:
There is the notification, but in the status bar.

But I was thinking about the player on the lock screen itself... for example like huawei music app
[Android Apps and Games] mndhta2:
One of the best. Haven't seen something like this in quite a while now. Intuitive and Sleek music player and it comes in a small package.

When we set on shuffle and select another song from library the shuffle gets turned off and needs to be set again. It would be nice if the shuffle stays even after selecting another song.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
When you select another song from library, current logic is to change playing queue to what you chosen.
[Android Apps and Games] mndhta2:
Yeah that is but it would be nice if an option is included for it.

Best music player in my opinion, thank You for it. But album arts and artist pictures are loading waaaaaay too long. In PlayerPro they are not even loading, they're just there. I hope Pulsar will work like that very soon. Keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] RobinD42:
Car Home Ultra

I use Car Home Ultra (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=spinninghead.carhome) as a driving mode app. It has a feature for integrating with music players and being able to send play/pause, next and previous commands to the music player app, and also to display the currently playing artist and title. The play/pause/next/previous integration controls work with most music players I've tried, including Pulsar. Unfortunately the displaying of the artist and title only works with a very few players, and Pulsar is not on the list. Only Play Music and Poweramp work of the players I've tried so far.

I'm not sure exactly what is needed to make it work, but I'm under the impression from some comments by the developer that it has something to do with the notifications that are sent from the music player. If you had time to look into that I think it would be a great feature to add for what sounds like not too much work. I'd be willing to test it for you if needed.

EDIT: PlayerPro also does whatever it is that is needed to fully integrate with Car Home Ultra
[Android Apps and Games] adl:

Hi

I have some songs stored in my device randomly, do not contain to any album.

Those can't be found on search bar.

Search bar includes only search for album and artists .. but does not include search for songs and titles that don't include on the album its own.

For example I can search for "Adele" , but I can't search for "hello".

I have used many music player apps, but I have never had such things as this problem before.

I do like your app pulsar. I consider it as my default app for music player.

I hope you find a way to solve this issue in the app because it's keep bothering me.

My regards.

Sorry for the noob question, but does this player play ALAC? If not, would it be supported in the future?
