You can use caffeine function built in ur ROM if your using a custom rom, or select time out in ROM settings stock or vision, or I'm pretty sure there's apps on the play store that will keep your screen on...
[Android Apps and Games] praveenjain101:
thank you for the best app! i use this for daily! great ui and responsive!
[Android Apps and Games] elbarto93:
I can confirm that lock screen controls are not working with p9 lite (emui 4.1) . Other apps such as Spotify or poweramp display correctly the controls.

Anyway this app is far better than the others players out in the store.

Hope for an update
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
I have introduced this problem before. Since I do not own an Huawei device, currently if possible, please send a mail to support@rhmsoft.com to get in touch about this problem.

Maybe I need to get one Huawei device to fix this problem...
[Android Apps and Games] ganeshbiyer:
Now a days most of the music players in the playstore look the same. This is no different.

How do I change the order of tab? setting - change tab menu, but then can't move anything
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
From settings page, there is an option to change tab visibility and order.

Please long click the cross button in dialog, drag and drop to change the order.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
I am studying this problem again.

I tried many music apps, most of them does not show music controller on emui 4.1, including poweramp latest version that you mentioned, Google Play Music seems work.

Could you send me some snapshot of the music controller in lock screen when you using music apps other than stock music player shipped by Huawei? May I know which are they? Thanks.

You can post them here or send me email to support@rhmsoft.com
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Another way to fix this problem that I tried, is just replace Huawei lock screen with better ones. Such as Next Lock Screen provided by Microsoft. Then music controllers will work flawlessly on these lock screen apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Romagnolo1973:
I have PowerAmp since years but I still prefer Pulsar+Viper combo, because your app is really great.

Compared to others well know music apps the only missing things is a crossfade setting.

It is possible to add this as future ToDo feature?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] BladeOne1:
the embedded image material does not appear in almost all albums. Please fix that.
[Android Apps and Games] jkccl9:
Yes I reported this issue that no album art covers show anymore, dev hasn't replied to my comment and doesn't seem to be doing anything to fix it. Time to move onto a better player
[Android Apps and Games] BladeOne1:
Maybe he doesnt have time to replies all comments ;) i understand that
[Android Apps and Games] jkccl9:
Nope look back a page or so on xda and you find me talking to another pulsar user which was more helpful than the dev has been and he would have seen it as it was the last post for 4 days. Oh well we shall see if he replies to u but ive moved on and given up tbh :/
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
It is a nice feature and I will consider it in future releases.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Currently Pulsar is using the album covers which were recognized in Android media database. If not found, it will go to internet to fetch matched result based on album name and artist name.

The embedded image in your case, do you mean that the image is saved as tag in song files? I think it has not been discovered by android system.
[Android Apps and Games] BladeOne1:
Yes, my cover arts are saved in the song files.
[Android Apps and Games] Alex Feldmeier:
I just downloaded this player after trying a bunch of other ones and this is by far my favorite. Its so intuitive and has most of the features I was looking for. A few things I would like to see (in order of importance):

1. (Very important) Start/stop playback when phone connects to bluetooth

2. Pressing the "x" button on the notification should not only pause playback, but also rewind to the beginning of the song (like a stop button)

3. Not having to double press back to exit app

4. Show the notification even when in the app

5. (Not a big deal) Ability to read star ratings (specifically from media monkey)

Besides those, this app is so awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] Suraj Pandey:
Feature requests accepted?
[Android Apps and Games] Rempit:
Just bought the pulsar+. If dev is still looking for improvement, alphabet while navigating thru artist, songs or album, like most contact app does would be wonderful. Great app btw
[Android Apps and Games] ch3mn3y:
A1. There are apps which do it (eg. Sonys Smart Connect, byt not sure if works with Pulsar) and they let You choose device which starts/stops it, not every device.

A2. Why? It's okey how it works right now.

A3. +1

A4. +1

A5. Only with option to disable it. It's offline music player and should stay offline.

Sent using XT1562 - Resurrection Remix/Optimus Kernel
[Android Apps and Games] Alex Feldmeier:
I know there are apps that auto start/stop music but there are also other media players that have it built-in. As for the "x" button, it's just a preference and would be nice to have the option. I like to start songs from the beginning so when I start listening, it doesn't start half way through. I don't quite understand what you mean by it's offline. I'm just talking about reading the rating tag embedded in the mp3.
[Android Apps and Games] ch3mn3y:
So I just didn't understand You.
[Android Apps and Games] shaftenberg:
Very good player, but I have a serious issue with chromecast audio. On my Marshmallow Nexus 5 the music stops casting after some minutes while screen is off.

Wifi is not the problem and I put Pulsar out of the battery saving apps list already. Any ideas?

[Android Apps and Games] shaftenberg:
I want to add some things:

- Pulsar playing without casting works with screen off

- If I charge the phone, Pulsar casts endlessly without interruption

- Casting with other apps with screen off works without problems...

First I thought it might be my ElementalX kernel, but as other apps cast without stopping, the problem seems to be at Pulsar's side.
[Android Apps and Games] devie33:
Hi, absolutely fantastic player!

Would consider adding the "Sleep Timer" and "Rescan Library" to the pull-left menu for GUI consistency? These options are not always available in the top right sub menu... not very intuitive!

I also suggest to evaluate if displaying the number of songs and song length is that important... I rather use that space to display larger album/artist/song titles! Maybe the number of songs and song length can be optional?

The best android music player!

[Android Apps and Games] ChriMo:
Thanks. This is a workaround good to know. However I would prefer the .opus file extension to clearly see the used codec.

EDIT: I'm having problems to edit tags of those opus OGG files (various apps/platforms tested). Not yet sure if this is a rename issue.

No covers in player window

Hello, Pulsar downloaded many covers for my songs and i can see them in Artists or Albums tabs, but when i'm listening tracks in player window there are no covers.
[Android Apps and Games] takhama:
Great player, some minor problems

Hell, I wad fed up with another player that has a lot of bugs and I found this one: simple, but with all you need !!

However, I find that images are really slow to load.

Also, I have "cover.jpg" images in my albums directories on a sd card, and the player don't see them, so that is sad...

An option like "show local images first" would be great.

Also, add the possibility to choose the place of the playlist, and the format of the file (m3u, ...), in the parameters.

I had problems with playlists emptied after restarting the device, so expliitely saving it to a file would be nice.

And to finish, a support for dolby would be also great.

Thanx !
[Android Apps and Games] Echelonex:
Hello, does this player has ads, so I have to pay to get rid of them? Or it gets monetized only with themes?

Please add (+) button in a playlist

ver 1.4.3
[Android Apps and Games] msnnsm:
It would be awesome. I used google play music&eleven before (cyanogenmod's default music player). And both had this feature. Swipe down to go back songs/albums screen, swipe up to reach current playlist. It's such a pain after you got used to it. Oh and it would be nice to have play next button on albums(Player had it for songs but not albums)

Is it possible to add it? This player is the only one on google play looks really nice. It has a clean interface which i'm looking for.

Sorry for my english if it's not good enough but i think it's pretty understandable, and thanks for giving us a light and useful app, good luck on developing.

Bluetooth sound problems

I really like the app yet there is a significant issue I am facing:

Whenever I connect it through bluetooth to my car stereo and a second sound source comes on at the phone (e.g. Maps navigation during music playback, or even worse, a call) all hell breaks loose. The connection drops or pauses and I have to click on the "playback" button on the stereo. The call doesn't come through or it does with the music in the background, causing acoustic mayhem.

This is an issue I wasn't having with any of the other players I have used up until now. This one is the best and I really would like to keep it, yet this needs fixing...

The phone I'm using it on is an Lg G3 s with a stock Anrdoid Lolipop ROM, if it is of any help
[Android Apps and Games] qtotter:
Great app! Simple, light and quick. It's got everything people need. I loved it.
[Android Apps and Games] Wizzbangtg:
Fabulous app

I really like the app. I came across it today and when I seen that it had Chromecast support I had to purchase there pro version eventing though free one has it too. This is a very desirable features for me. But I notched that the Chromecast libraries freak out after a couple songs and blast through the rest of the playlist without playing anything. The only way to get the app use a Chromecast again is to shut it down and start again.

This occurs on multiple devices.

Assistance to fix this would be awesome.

[Android Apps and Games] han_007:
Hi, i really like everything about this player except one issue...Everytime i open a different app whilst music is playing it pauses the music? This doesnt happen with the stock music player, but its a bit annoying cos it means i cant use any other apps while playing music without having to keep unpausing. Is there any setting that might cause this? I have a galaxy s7

Chromecast playlist bug

The app has been great for the most part, but recently has had major issues skipping through play lists when streaming to Chromecast. It would be great if this was resolved.
[Android Apps and Games] hniu:
Hi!

This is lightweight and beautifully designed app! I'd like to have it as a default player, but there are few things missing:

1. Being able to specify music folder.

I've got all my music on sd card. When in Folders/Hierarchy mode, Pulsar defaults to "/storage/emulated/0". In order to get to my music folder I have to go back twice and wait for sd card to appear. Not ideal.

2. In the folder mode: sort by filename.

When in folder mode this seems like the most logical and safe way to order tracks. It is great when mp3 tags are in order, but this is not always the case.

3. Use images in the folder.

Again it's great if music files have album cover embedded, but it is often easier just put an image file in the folder. Most of the modern music players support that.

Thanks for the hard work!
[Android Apps and Games] Hoothoot:
First of all: Your app is my favourite music player right now :good:

Nonetheless here is something I'm deeply missing, which I also think is not included in any other app yet.

Only show full albums with e.g. 5 or more songs:

-Maybe option to individually specify how many songs are needed to show albums in settings

-Maybe option to fast switch on/off album filter in menu bar

Don't show duplicate tracks with same name in "title" mp3tag for the same artist

Hopefully you like my ideas^^ Anyway keep up the great work :cool:

There is currently a issue where allowing SD permissions isn't working. When you try to delete a file it just keeps asking over and over after doing it, but when you try to edit tags this message appears:

Last.fm scrobbling

Hello, many thanks for this great player - this is exactly what I've been looking for!

There is only one thing that I cannot set up properly: last.fm. As I understand Pulsar has a built-in scrobbler (auto/default option). However, nothing happens when this option is selected (shouldn't it ask for my last.fm login?) and the music is not scrobbled. I do not want to use external apps (like official Last.fm scrobbler) that need to run in the background.

Please let me know how I can fix this!

Best, Ilya
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
It does not have native scrobbler. It will notify Last.fm client or Simple Last Fm app to achieve this.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Pulsar works with Google Now voice command. Which Tasker did you mention?
[Android Apps and Games] Hoothoot:
Tasker can steer some apps. I am not sure if it works for all apps or extra code is needed. The task can be found in Tasker under 'System' - 'Send Intent'.

Example for Spotify:

� Action: com.spotify.mobile.android.ui.widget.PLAY

� Cat: None

� Package: com.spotify.music

� Target: Broadcast Reciever​

Edit: Resuming playlist is working with media control, didn't wait long enough for the app to load apparently. Commands for specific genre or playlist would be still nice though.

Hi. My favorite player for a long time now. Any plans to allow it to play radio streams? I have playlists for SomaFM and Radio Paradise but Pulsar show them as empty.
[Android Apps and Games] Serville:
Hi, I'm using Pulsar, and I have a problem with coverart album everytime I change the artwork, or change the folder structure. Fyi, all my MP3s are sermons , so I used a custom artwork for all albums.

I keep all of them in an MP3 album folder in an SD card (128GB), and I'm using Xiaomi Redmi 3s.

I have tried many solutions, like clearing Pulsar apps cache, uninstall & reinstall Pulsar, clear system cache, Rescan Library (within Pulsar), media rescan from Playstore but none solves the issue.

It seems Pulsar does not seem to realize some tags of the album have changed (the coverart), and persists on using the previous (cached ?) artwork.

For instance, if I change the folder name for the album in my Microsd, suddenly Pulsar only shows a blank artwork. If I rename it to the original folder name, the artwork shows.

Another example, if I change the artwork for an album with MP3Tag using a computer, delete the album folder from microsd, copy back the album folder from computer to microsd (with new artwork), Pulsar keeps showing the old artwork/coverart for the album. I'm completely puzzled.

How do I solve this problem ? Appreciate some advice please. Thanks.

Any plans to add an option to have playlists?
[Android Apps and Games] DavidRGreen:
When I first used this Media Player, it was on a contemporary device with plenty of CPU and RAM, but with the unexpected death of the device, and a considerable delay before being able to source a replacement of similar calibre I am forced to fall back on a device I had used previously, and here I found a marked change in the apparent behaviour of the application in regards to Album Art.

When the music was stored in the high-speed Internal storage, It appeared that Pulsar picked up the embedded Cover Art with no problem, but when the Music was stored on an external SD Card, it appears that the same Cover Art cannot be found and Pulsar runs off the internet to fetch the Art, sometimes to erroneous results.

*** XDA does not allow embedded images unless you have many posts ***

Amongst many is the example, which XDA would not allow to be included, is Sky's self-titled first album is *not* "Nina" by someone who is called 'Sky'. The Sky I listen to is a Progressive Classical 5 member group from Australia & England.

Even when Pulsar gets the album and artist correct in this instance, it picks up different Cover art than what was embedded in the media files.

Because it appeared to work so well on the previous higher performing device, it almost seems like a "time-out" on fetching embedded art, and going to the internet instead, to less that successful results in all cases.

At least that how it seems.

No player on lock screen

I'm currently using Action Launcher 3 and for my biggest problem is that I don't see the album art on the lockscreen or the player (if it was meant to show). It's very frustrating because to skip a track I'd have to unlock my phone to reach the app.

Another issue is the tag editing, it's better than most, but still a bit of a hassle. It would be great if you take a look how Sony's Music app has done it. All info including album art all in one page and to be able to specifically select a single song to update it's tags.

I'm using Huawei Nova Plus.
[Android Apps and Games] frozenxuan:

Could you allow the player to display albums by the specific album/album artist? My albums that contain multiple artists are displayed as multiple separate albums in spite of having the same album name and having the same album artist.

Edit: Removing ID3v1 and rescanning library fixed the issue
[Android Apps and Games] -Pepe:
Great app. Very fast and with a beautiful design. The compatibility with Chromecast is a nice add. I'm really considering buying the pro version if you add these 2 function as a sign of support (I don't use the EQ):

1) is it possible to add an option to only select the folder where the app will search for music instead of select all the other folder so the app won't search on them?

2) when you use the search function and you play that song the app will play only that song. I would suggest to add the possibility to use the search function like that: when you search a song the app will start playing all the songs but starting with the one that you searched.

I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say, unfortunately English is not my first language.

Love the UI but unfortunately, some of the music files didn't show up.
[Android Apps and Games] LoneHassi:
I really like the simplicity of it. But i can suggest a thing or two that are much needed in a typical music player.

Please let the user customize the homepage in a way that they can put there a folder row on the top like songs, albums, etc and most importantly recently added and recently played lists or even a favorite list.

Recent add is much needed todays and it should not be browsed, rather should be accessible immidiately on the homepage

Folder exclusion is quite appreciated and format and size selection should be there as well.
[Android Apps and Games] Sam_Ya:
First of all, I love the app. The only problem I have is with the way the track names are displayed. Instead of using the file name of the track, I would like to see the track title from the tag info. This could be implemented as an option in the settings, with the default being the file name so as not to impact existing users. Again, thanks for a great music app and especially for including gapless playback.

**Update**

Upon further inspection, I found that the track names were correctly derived from the tag info for some albums but not for others. Forcing a rescan by editing the tags of the affected tracks at the album or artist level fixed the problem for me.
