First of, amazing player!

It's one of the few that prefers the mp3 thumbnail instead of overriding it with the album cover, which is great for compilations.

The App looks sleek and modern, thumbs up to that.

However, I have a small request.

A lot of Songs have multiple artists, and it would be nice if there was a way to search for them.

Id3 allows having multiple tags for the same Field (as used by Mp3Tag). Same goes for genres. This would be the most desiderable way.

Other conventions use "/" or ";" to separate multiple entries in a single tag, which would be acceptable as well.

Keep up the good work!

Just got the pro version. Very nice player.

Does it support m4a format? AIMP on my PC shows m4a, Poweramp for example is showing alac format... All in all Pulsar doesn't see my files :/ But if open it file manager it will play normally
[Android Apps and Games] araxhiel:
Yes, it does. And that's weird, as I also have several M4A files in my phone right now and pulsar recognize them all without problem.

The path where you have stored those files isn't blacklisted/being ignored? Because besides that the only thing that crosses my mind is that perhaps the files aren't using a valid codec and/or the metadata isn't in a valid format.
[Android Apps and Games] drjoe1:
So I'm continuing to use Pulsar Pro and continue to like it, but continue to have issues with album covers. My problem is my music library is large, and it was collected over 25 years and has album covers that aren't named with any kind of system. It isn't realistic for me to rename them, and finding the individual covers in any of the album apps I've tried is like finding a needle in a haystack. It would be SO much easier if I could just navigate to the image in ES File Explorer and just choose the dang images. Very very very frustrating. I can accept that I can't use .nomedia to hide the images from my gallery. But it really really would be nice if I could just manually pick the image files from a file browser.

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Joe

In order to do so, go to the album and select "Edit tags" from the three dot menu. Tap on the album art and select "Choose from gallery".

I hope this helps you out. Have a nice day!

[Android Apps and Games] drjoe1:
Unless I'm missing something obvious, that's what frustrates me! It opens the gallery and has the pictures {many thousands of pictures when you add 25 years of photos and 25 years of album covers) and all ordered by import date. I can't find a

ANY. I haven't found any gallery app that will allow me to navigate by directory to an individual file. If there is one out there, let me know which to use / how to do it.

[Android Apps and Games] KNGPN Q w Q:
Hi Joe

No, you are in fact not overlooking anything at all. Hopefully [MENTION=6073508]rhmsoft[/MENTION] is willing to add support to picking the album art via a file manager since that could be useful, especially when you have a large(r) music collection.

Have a nice day!

Hi, great app - but I really need ReplayGain support! Thanks for considering! :)
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Côté is an encoding problem. Android media scanner will guess the encoding of your tags but it may use the wrong encoding.

I suggest you can manually edit the tags, and then save, Pulsar will try to override media scanner result if it is wrong.

Please use the latest release which can support this behavior.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
I have an OnePlus 3T testing device but I did not have this problem.

As I know that OnePlus 3T does not support Android 8.1 yet. Are you using any 3rd party rom?
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Please send me the music file to have a test. Please send to support@rhmsoft.com.

The application is fine, but it consumes a lot of battery once playing. It goes from being in the consumption band the mobile of 0.8% and 2.1% to go to 15% in just 3 minutes and exceed 40% if it plays more than 30 minutes. If I put everything at once (wifi, location, synchronization, all active apps ... I do not get to 8% throughout the day.

Any plans to add OK Google support soon? Please it's the thing most needed in this app
[Android Apps and Games] Annie the Eagle:
I'll basically give my 2 cents here like I did on my Google Play review. It's okay. But in my opinion it's slightly "too simple". There's an option to exclude music folders, but... I, like probably most people, have a single folder with all their songs called "Music", and I don't want to have to keep adding more folders to exclusion. One folder that came with songs preloaded on my phone (in the root partition of /data/hw_init/preloaded_media/) cannot even be added to exclusions, because when I go up to the root directory of /, I get no folders, not even the folder I came from...

Until this gets resolved and I can exclude those folders (or rather, have an option like 99% of the other media players to include folders rather than exclude folders), I think I'll have to stick with Poweramp
[Android Apps and Games] jack allen:
I love this app, i now use this over my stock samsung music player which i prefered over any other player amd i use the stock player on every galaxy phone since the s3 now im on the S9+ and well the story for samsung player ends and now the pulsar music player begins, love the look and the fact you have themes already there not only that but you can edit or even make your own by using a preinstalled one. Bottom line..... amazing player hope to keep using for longer than the galaxy one i used before. Thank you for your hard work.

Hello,

I have a problem with the covers not being displayed on the album list tab, even though when I play a file, there is the cover appearing, someone knows what's the problem?

Great app otherwise!
[Android Apps and Games] Istvan_86:
Totally agree.
[Android Apps and Games] dimoxa6233:
Does not appear on the lock screen. Is it a problem with the firmware or the player?
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Which device are you using? Pulsar does not contain lock screen widget, it use the android default ones. Normally pure android system can support lock screen widget without a problem, but as I know that maybe Huawei devices which has their own implementation of lock screen, does not work.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Could you open this music from Pulsar, instead of some file management apps? As I know that some file manager provide a content URI for the file but 3rd party apps do not have enough permission to read them, but Google Play Music as factory apps has this permission.
[Android Apps and Games] Yithian:
I can't open these tracks in Pulsar. When I try, I get the error I quoted in my original post. I hadn't tried opening the tracks in a file browser before. The Amaze file browser app doesn't play them now that I've tried; it asks if I want to open them with Pulsar or Google Play Music.
[Android Apps and Games] 42serenity:
Has the function to automatically start Pulsar with the "headphone plugged in" event ever been added? At least it doesn't seem to work for me.
[Android Apps and Games] CptTobi:
I'd love to have a quick way to change equalizer profiles from the Now Playing screen. Is that already possible, and if not, what are the chances of it being added?

(I bought the + version of course, otherwise there'd be no equalizer ;) )
[Android Apps and Games] osahitzelgsngar:

[Android Apps and Games] Spider1996:
Anyone got a solution to force enable Viper4Android on pulsar? This Player looks awesome but the Equalizer and Sound is crap... There is no use for me without that.... :(

Maybe the Dev rhmsoft could add a "use MusicFX/System Equalizer" Option in Settings?
[Android Apps and Games] KNGPN Q w Q:
You could also simply adjust the equalizer in the V4A app and leave the Pulsar equalizer turned off?
[Android Apps and Games] Spider1996:
Its not possible to activate it. There is no option in Pulsar to use v4a. It simply ignores v4a so I could adjust 1 hour and nothing changes...
[Android Apps and Games] KNGPN Q w Q:
I know it's not available. Just open the V4A app itself using your launcher - or however you are able to open it - adjust the settings to your liking and play your music using the Pulsar app while leaving the Pulsar built-in EQ turned off.

I know you are only asking for a "shortcut" to the V4A app, but at the time, this is not implemented.

Edit: be aware that if you do not hear any difference, V4A might not be correctly installed or that the SystemEQ still is enabled!
[Android Apps and Games] Spider1996:
My problem is that it works with any other Music Player like Poweramp or Musicolet. I don't need a shortcut. All the other players got a option to enable System Equalizer. Pulsar not
[Android Apps and Games] jcmm11:
If you turn off the Pulsar equalizer it will use the system equalizer. I use V4A with Pulsar with no issues.

Playlists not working

Hi, I've loved Pulsar+ until now but suddenly my playlists are not working. Instead of playing sequentially, the first sing I select repeats itself again and again. Please let me know how to fix this so I don't have to find another player. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] KNGPN Q w Q:
Are you sure that you haven't accidentally turned on "repeat"?
[Android Apps and Games] simoneske:
No I'm not sure. Maybe you could tell me how tf I turn off repeat?

[Android Apps and Games] KNGPN Q w Q:
Try clicking the icon encircled in black (first image), until you either see a toast message saying "Repeat all songs" (for the icon, see second image) or "Repeat off" (for the icon, see third image).

Please, check the attachments for screenshots of the corresponding icons.

Thanks so much Pinnies. I appreciate your help!
[Android Apps and Games] l33twannabe:
Hello. First of all, I'm really loving Pulsar+ ! However, there are some things I cannot figure out or perhaps the player lacks some funcionality. Anyway, any kind of help would be appreciated.

I keep my music in 3 separate folders: Albums, Singles and Others. Unfortunately, Pulsar+ adds everything to one bag and it's kind of messy. Would it be possible to import folders/files from Albums folder to Albums section and also have all the files from Singles folder in some separate section or something ? The app just puts everything in Albums sections although it creates separate folders for Singles and Others inside. It would be really cool if I could just create my own sections (and even name them) and link them to the selected folder. I know it's not possible for now, but perhaps there's some workaround or something ?

Also, is it possible to hide/remove something from the library without removing it from the device ? For instance: press and hold on the selected album/folder/song and then choose hide from the menu or something like that. I know there's a feature which allows to exclude a folder, but what if I don't want to have it just in 'albums' section, but I still want to access it via 'folders' section ?

[MENTION=6073508]rhmsoft[/MENTION] could we get an option for a minimalist look?

Basically it would remove any art and make everything just a simple list.

[Android Apps and Games] landsome:
Hello! I have the pro paid version. Minor problems I can deal with, but here's two - related - that upset me:

1. Sometimes albums are broken into 2 pieces (two identical albums with tracks split among them) - although there is only one folder with the album, with just the tracks (no playlist and no photos); AND the relevant fields in the track tags are identical; AND the album track number tags are written in the same way (I redid the tags in several cases just to be sure). Also, all the music collection is in one folder (on the SD card).

2. After putting a .nomedia file in the single music folder and then removing it, I get all sorts of album duplicates (much worse than originally). I deleted and recopied the folder and the problem remains.

(Also, why no .mpc?)
[Android Apps and Games] Chrzang:
Hi i bought premium can i suggest two things. Could you please make the "return" button to work on folder browsing .now it exits the app if you wanna go to the previous folder. And second please make the track bar thicker it takes couple of attempts to forward the track..

Hi there, love the player, but I have a recurring problem; while playing tracks on shuffle, every few songs the next track will start playing in the middle, and I have to hit the back button to start the song at the beginning. On a Huawei Honor 5x, EMUI 4.0, Android 6.0.1. Thanks in advance for any help!
[Android Apps and Games] drjoe1:
So I finally found a gallery app that lets you browse a folder structure and also has a good search function - to get stacked folders you need the pro version. F-Stop. Now all my album art is mapped.

Now this is resolved, my concerns are...

1) it seems to automatically generate hundreds of playlists. Not sure why, and I only seem to be able to delete them one at a time. They shouldn't be self generating, and you should be able to delete multiple /clear all.

2) still haven't figured out how to best handle sound tracks and compilations in a way that doesn't require resetting artist metada to "various".

Thanks,

Joe

Hello, I like the player, but have a big problem: I listen to music thru chromecast. I set up wifi hotspot with my smartphone, the player is also this phone. I receive always this error message: no IP address found, only IP v4 allowed. All other apps (youtube, red bull tv, hifi cast, soundcloud etc) work fine, but this music player app. Any solution?
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
There might been many playlist files on your storage. When android scanned them, they will generate playlists based on them. Then Pulsar will find that there is new playlists in Android database then display them.

You can have a search if there are any playlist files on your device, if you do not want them, you can delete them. This might be the cause of this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Do you mean that your chromecast also connect to your hotspot created by your smartphone? I have not tested this scenario yet. Commonly this error happens because it can not find out your device ip address under the wifi. Could you have a check your ip address after you turned on the hotspot? You can find this information from phone information page.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Currently Pulsar is using tags to distinguish artist, album, genre, etc. No matter which folder you put the songs to. Could you have a check if your music files have correct id3 tags information?

You can exclude songs without delete them, but unfortunately this is based on folders, I am not sure if this works for your situation, you can make some sub folders if necessary. This is mainly used to filter down some files which are not song files, such as ringtone, record, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
This is a change for the whole UI and theme. I think this won't be done in near future. Sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Pulsar currently is based on android media store database. I think your database may be corrupt. You can download any fixer app from google play to fix the media store. The logic is easy, erase all information from the database, and then rescan them. Your files won't be modified, just the records in database changes.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Thanks for your advice. I will consider these two in future releases.
[Android Apps and Games] vdb86:
Understood, thank you for your reply!
[Android Apps and Games] l33twannabe:
Hey. Thanks for your reply ! Yes, all of my music files have correct id3 tags, but like I said - Pulsar puts everything in Albums section and it looks kind of messy. Would you at least consider adding a feature that would allow users to hide selected folders from Albums section ? I still would like to have those files in Folders section tho, so it's kind of tricky and I'm not sure if it's doable.
[Android Apps and Games] Hippie459MN:
I have a question, I have been using this on my android head unit for about 2 months and so far I really like it, except today when I removed a few albums from my SD card and updated two other ones and I then put the SD card back in my head unit, hit the refresh media library and noticed, it didnt update anything and still shows the now missing albums and still showing the old data on the ones I updated. I then looked at the FAQ/Help thing on the web site and noticed this...

New music only
The scan process only discovers the newly added music files, which will not update existing music information.

Is there any way to actually update my library/existing music information and not just add new music if it finds it short of deleting data in the manage applications, which I would rather not do if I dont have too.
[Android Apps and Games] krisztian b:
Hi, thanks for the reply. The chromecast (audio) is also connected to this hotspot. If I try to connect from the music player, the chromecast plays the connecting sound, the icon stays coloured, as it was connected, but when I click on play, the music comes from the speaker of my smartphone and receive the mentioned error message. Only IPv4 supported. It worked with a router, but not with the same wifi hotspot Just checked in the settings, my IP is there, hotspot active. All the other apps work fine (hifi cast, di.fm, soundcloud, mixcloud).

Hi there, firstly thanks for the awesome player ! Honestly it is the most nicely featured around, with the Pi one.

a few features request :

- since the EQ is now only on the pro version, could you add a few more frequencies to tweak ?(6?7?)

- I noticed you can't rewind the track until you reach the end of the previous song in the queue : this is a bit annoying since you can't use the progression bar in a car system for example. The use case is when you want to listen a part around the end of a song, but currently you have to fast-forward all the way from the beginning to the part you want, you can't reach it backwards from the beginning of the next song.

That's all, except that it's near to perfect :)
