[Android Apps and Games] Sir_Exotic:
Appreciation and some feedback

Hello rhmsoft!

First of all, I'd like to thank you for the great music player!

I just got a new phone and the default music player is rather bothersome, so I've been looking for one and I came across Pulsar and it's exactly what I was looking for (except the feedback I have further ahead in this comment ;))

The design is simple but elegant and even though there aren't many options in the settings compared to other players, settings like excluding folders, adding album/artist pictures, adding playlists to the main menu, etc. were the options I was looking for :)

However, there are still some small things that could be improved in my eyes, and I hope you consider to add/change these and make me very happy :)

#1 Adding songs to playlists

As shown in the screenshot, if I click on "Add to playlist", nothing happens.

If I want to add songs to a particular playlist, I have to find the song in the list of songs and add it to a playlist that way, but that means I have to find a song, click on the 3 dots, click on "Add to playlist" and then find the playlist I want to add the song to.

If I have to do that for every single song, and I want to add maybe 50 or 100 songs to a playlist, that is going to take really long.

Solution: Add a function to "Add to playlist" when clicking on the settings of a playlist which allows you to select and add multiple songs. Maybe also add a + button in the playlist itself above the "Shuffle" button.

#2 Moving songs from album to album [SOLVED]

I'm having a really hard time moving songs to different albums by having to change the tags of every individual song to match the right album, but now it starts making new albums with identical names and I can't find a way to move songs from one albums to another anymore.

In the screenshot you can see 1 album with all my songs (590), but when I put 39 new songs on my phone, it created a new album. I tried to make the tags and picture of the 'new' album identical to the main one, so it would 'merge' and make 1 album out of 2 (it has done this before), but for some reason it has stopped doing that.

Solution: Add a "Move to" option to a song/file so we can freely move songs to different albums without the hassle of editing the tags of every individual song.

EDIT

: I found the solution! Basically how I managed to do it the first time and then I must've forgotten what I did.

When trying to move an individual file by editing its tags, don't focus only on the Artist tag, but especially on the Artis-Album tag, that one determines where the file is going to be located. It should work fine!

#3 Order albums/artists freely

I would like to see the option to change the position of albums and artists freely, like you would do with songs in a playlist.

The only way to change the position of albums without it being sorted by alphabet or artist is to sort them by release date and then change all the release dates to the order you want them to be in. I have tried this, but it's also very buggy and doesn't work well. We should have a simpler option for this.

Solution: Add an option "Manual" to "Sort Order" in the Albums tab. In the Artists tab this would be under "View mode".

I hope you would consider adding these small fixes so the app works even better then it already does.

Thanks again for the great app :good:

Kind regards,

Sir Exotic
