What a lovely music player.. Well done.

[Android Apps and Games] Ishamael90:
Hi, I've installed Pulse 2 days ago on my Oneplus X with Purity ROM: since I had some Bluetooth issues I changed ROM and rolled on TurboROM. Bluetooth now is fine-ish, the problem changed: from "no ID3tags sent and stuttering/crashing app/sound" to "once every 5-15 mins the BT stops streaming", meaning:

- The player still goes on playing the music but the BT device is set on "Paused"

- Pressing Play/Pause twice (one to pause and one to play again) let the device work again

I've heard this could be an Android BT issue but I've never had this problem with any ROM or app.

Could I ask for help to you or this is "not your fault"?

Another thing, Music Tagger is not found anymore within the Play Store and any apk I find has issues with SD card writing permissions with android 4.4+

Is there a new Tag Editor version available somewhere else or has it changed name or something else?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] Koont:
I've had that issue on almost every ROM out there for sprint LG G3. I'm on Turbo now also and I think the BT issue is almost resolved. I don't think it's this app that causes it.

Currently running official CM13 for my OPX, with Shuttle Music Player, no flaws at all. Pulse is not working yet.

Play store says my device (Galaxy S6 running 6.0.1) is incompatible with this version. Can a link be provided to download and and sideload the apk?
[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
Plz upload apk here my device also not compitable

Version 0.2.4b Change Log:

Removed attempted smooth colour transition from nav bar

Fixed playlist content being duplicated when moving items or resuming the activity.

Improved thread management

Restored updating activities in background

Fixed delay in pause when unplugging headsets

Fixed crash in genres activity when pressing the overflow button on the artists tab

Lists are now refreshed more efficiently

Fixed crash when removing last item from the queue

Fixed crash when pressing pause after clearing the queue and creating a new one

Fixed crash when changing layouts on some devices

I've added the download link for people having trouble downloading it. If you install the apk like this you will not receive updates automatically through the play store.

Pretty much only bug fixes in this update. Another one will probably be available next week focusing mainly on bug fixes again before I start working on improving or adding new features. I think the application is close to moving out of beta.

Feel free to let me know of any bugs you've ran into.
[Android Apps and Games] UndeadMartyr:
This app is awesome, I just found it today and it is everything I wanted in a music player. I need an app that sorted by album artist since that is how i sort all of my music. I was using GoneMad player but that one wasn't quite what I wanted. So luckily I found this app and couldn't be happier. Excellent performance and the UI looks great. I really hope you continue to develop it and make it even better.

The only bug I have found so far is that for some reason having an album art image of 3000x3000 causes the app to not be able to read the IDv3 tag and will put the song or album under <unknown>. Im not sure what the cut off resolution is, I had one that was 1600x1600 and it still worked so IDK. I'm not sure if every single song with a 3000x3000 image cause this issue or if only a few, I just know that most of the ones that were put under the <unknown> section had correct IDv3 tags just the image was 3000x3000 and as soon as i changed the image to one that was 1500x1500 (and changed nothing else) it worked.
[Android Apps and Games] SlyUK:
Thanks for the update. Keep up the good work :)
[Android Apps and Games] techack:
Pls provide APK, as I am unable to download it from google play (shows that this app is incompatible with my device)
[Android Apps and Games] UndeadMartyr:
Check on page 20, his last post on that page has a link to download the apk. Or if you sign up for the beta after a little bit it will change so your device is compatible. It can take a bit to change and let you download it so you just have to be patient.
[Android Apps and Games] YedanyXD:
Some audio files combine with the music files,

Facebok ringtones

Hangouts

XD
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
The app uses the Android MediaStore database to read files. What happens is when your phone starts up android scans it for all media and adds all the details to the database. Music player applications read this database to get all the tag information and album art. The issue you're describing sounds like it could be an issue with android reading your files. I've had a few issues like this on android 5.0 but they were mainly when reading m4a files.

First I'll ask if you're using any custom roms check if there are any updates it could be a bug with the rom and generally I think 3000x3000 is quite large it might be advisable to decrease the size.
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
You can either blacklist those individual song files or just whitelist your music folder.

You can use the file browser to browse to the directory you want the music player to source your music from and then you can add it to the white list using the contextual menu. You can add as many folders as you like. You can also blacklist individual files and multiple folders, albums or entire artists that you do not want to appear inside your music library.

Blacklisting takes priority over white listing so for instance if i were to white list my music directory 'sdcard0/music' and then blacklist a folder or file within that directory the blacklisted files will no long show up in my music library even though they are within a whitelisted directory.

One thing you should note is that blacklisted files will still appear in the file browser but no where else in the music player.

There is an update coming soon to fix some small issues around blacklisting as well.
[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
Add option to set songs as ringtone notification and alarm
[Android Apps and Games] UndeadMartyr:
Hmm, then it might just be an Android problem. I'm running stock Android 7.0 on an LG V20. but yeah I agree about it being a bit large. Though I did have one that was 2000x2000 that worked so I'm not sure. Might just use 1500x1500 from now on.
[Android Apps and Games] SlyUK:
This is an interesting post, that is current, that I came across today:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/5e07n9/what_is_that_one_thing_you_wish_your_favorite/

Maybe some of the feature requests can be taken onboard in future release of this awesome music player :)
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:

[Android Apps and Games] OT-Xtreme:
tnx, can you add lyrics support? both download and custom (self written lyrics)
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
The application can display embedded lyrics. I will not be adding a download or editing feature for a few reasons:

Downloading lyrics automatically got my music tagging application removed from the play store for copyright infringement. Ideally I want all tagging tasks to be handled by the music tagger separately, it is integrated with the music player but isn't available on the app store which is annoying but I haven't bothered to upload it again because it needs a lot of work. Most of the automated services it used are now offline and from a design point of view its outdated. I'm planning on building it from scratch when I'm happy with the state of the music player. When they're both done they should work together seamlessly.
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:

[Android Apps and Games] UndeadMartyr:
Is any one else experiencing crashing on startup with the latest update? I've tried restarting my phone and reinstalling the app but nothing seems to work. It starts up and I can use it for about 1 - 2 seconds before it will crash.

Just rolled back to 0.2.5b and that version works fine for me, so I'll just hold up on updating it for now.
[Android Apps and Games] chrisubuntu:
Hi. New here. Have a few issues: the eq is turning itself off all the time, pressing on the left arrow to leave the eq panel doesn't do anything (you have to use the back navigation on the phone), there's distortion when manually skipping tracks (when Crossfade is enabled), the app needs a volume boost (I'm always at 100%), the app is only discoverable on the store if only I search for it (it's installed but I can't see it in the list of installed apps), tapping once on back button doesn't restarts the playing track (which it should) but instead plays the previous track.
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
That's weird, what do you do in those 2 seconds before it crashes? Do you swipe to any other tabs? I'm also not seeing any crash reports on the analytics.
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
Do you do anything before the equaliser switches off? Does it switch off on its own whilst music is playing? I'll have to look into that one.

Back button not working good catch I'll fix that.

Distortion when skipping tracks with cross fade that will be a tricky one, never experienced it usually issues like that are device specific but I'll see what I can do.

The app is a beta at the moment so it shouldn't be discoverable on the store unless you've joined the beta.

Tapping the back button when playing a song in the first 10 seconds will skip to the previous song after that it will skip to the beginning of the current song.
[Android Apps and Games] SlyUK:
Merry Christmas everyone. Hope to see this music player go from strength to strength in 2017 :)
[Android Apps and Games] chrisubuntu:
About the eq : if I turn it on and leave the eq tab (using back key button), if I return, the eq is already off and the bass boost is again at level 0. And yes, that happens when music is playing. About volume boost request, I see the app has replay gain. I'll use that to boost volume.
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
Ah right good find. I'm seeing the issue with the virtualiser and bass boost not keeping the settings but i'm not seeing the issue with the equaliser turning off. I'll see what I can find should have an update out in a few days.
[Android Apps and Games] chrisubuntu:
BTW, the app works very well with Viper4Android! The real annoyance is clipping when changing tracks. I'm using cm12 on a galaxy note 3. Idk if it would be helpful. I was previously using blackplayer and there were distortions with automatic Crossfade. The dev said (in the blackplayer's faq) that all devices with the snapdragon 800 have issues with crossfading).
[Android Apps and Games] chrisubuntu:
There's audio distortion when moving the seekbar and triple tap on the headphone button (which is the equivalent of the back button) doesn't rewind the playing track after 10 seconds. It instead always plays the previous track.
[Android Apps and Games] chrisubuntu:
Why does the player show tracks thumbnails in a Playlist only when it's locked? As soon as the playlist is unlocked, the images are gone.
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
Well the idea is when the playlist is unlocked you should be able to rearrange or remove any songs from the playlist so the grab handle view is there as an indication you can move things around.

When its locked you cant do any of those things so I just display the image instead.
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
Not sure sure about the distortion when seeking.

So you're saying when you tap the previous button 3 times it skips to the previous track? If you tap it 3 times it should skip to the beginning of the track then skip to the previous track and then skip to the track before that. Isn't that whats happening?
[Android Apps and Games] chrisubuntu:
The problem is with headphones button (triple button press). Normally, triple pressing once should restart the playing track. But instead, it plays the previous track (even after the 10 seconds mark).
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
Oh I get what you mean, Yeah in this player 1 press is play/pause 2 presses is next and 3 is previous track.

I think I'll add some customisation settings some time.
[Android Apps and Games] UndeadMartyr:
I don't remember it mattering what I did. Even if I just left it alone it would still crash. I can go ahead and reinstall it and send a crash report if that would help you diagnose it. Just let me know how I can help, I'd be happy to.
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
Yeah, that will help a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] UndeadMartyr:
I just updated the app to 0.2.6b via the app store and it's still crashing. Can confirm that doing nothing after opening it will still cause it to crash. I sent a crash report via the popup that comes up when it crashes, not sure if those get forwarded to you or not. I'm running it on a stock LG V20. If you need any more info just let me know.

**EDIT**

On a whim I decided to clear app data and now it doesn't crash. Will update if anything changes.

Nevermind, upon closing the app and then re-opening it, it went back to crashing on start up.
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
Thanks that helped a lot, there was a bug with the artists list view option that caused it crash. Thats why when you cleared the app data it didn't crash because it defaulted back to the grid view.

I'll have an update ready in a day or two fixing this and some other bugs.
[Android Apps and Games] SlyUK:
Out of interest, how do people store their music to listen via Pulse Music Player:

- On MicroSD card

- On USB Stick

- Via The Cloud

- Other Means

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] UndeadMartyr:
Sweet! Glad I could help out. Keep up the awesome work!

---------- Post added at 09:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

I use a 128GB SD card, that way I can put all my music on it, including flacs. Plus since I only use that SD card for music then I dont have to worry about buying a super fast card that can handle 4K recording, so you can save some money there.

Hi Joshafc, I can not download this app from playstore with my d802 G2 from Turkey. The store says my device incompatible but I have found the 0.2.1 version from internet and working without any problem. Unfortunately I could not able to find newest version, the latest version I found is 0.2.1. Can you do something for it? And in addition I am using Music Tagger app also and it is really good but I think it is outdated also. It can not save ID3v1 info with correct charset. It is 1.1.9. Is there a newer version?
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
Hello, there are apks you can download here.

Before you can download the app from the store you need to make sure you're signed up on the beta using this link.
[Android Apps and Games] gttrk:
Thanks for your fast and useful response. I was in beta test an I am still in but Playstore error is going on. But I have downloaded latest version from the link given. Thanks a lot.

[Android Apps and Games] brianinmaine:
I've been using Pulse+ for a while now, and I was wondering if it would be possible to add a feature to download and display lyrics? I currently use QuickLyric https://www.quicklyric.be/ which even has an offline mode allowing lyrics to saved in a DB. I wish the lyrics could be embedded in the mp3 metadata lyrics tag?

Great program, use it almost every day! Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] developer3991:
excellent update

as a dedicated user of this music player i really appreciate the bug fixes this update has introduced
[Android Apps and Games] polomalkin:
No visualizer on play screen ((( The option is activated.

m2 mini, mtk, 5.1.1, stock Flyme 5
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
I explained somewhere in the thread earlier why I wouldn't add a lyrics download feature. Here it is:

Downloading lyrics is also the reason why quick lyric isn't available on the play store anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
This happened on one of my devices before and I had to enable the application permission to draw over other apps. Give that a try.
[Android Apps and Games] developer3991:
do you see yourself releasing a version for iOS at some point in the future?
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
Nope
[Android Apps and Games] polomalkin:
I've tried it, but nothing is happened.

Also I've got another problems:

[Android Apps and Games] developer3991:
will you be adding any in app purchases?
[Android Apps and Games] brianinmaine:
Thank you, I'm sorry I didn't see the previous post. I totally understand. I have figured out how to add lyrics on my own now.

I know Pulsar has the ability to edit tags, would it be possible to add a field for the lyrics tag so I could cut/paste or edit lyrics on my own? I have seen other players with that ability on the Play Store, do you think that would be allowed?
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
You can install the Music Tagger apk and then when you press the Music Tagger button on the lyrics view you'll be able to do that.
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
Looks like your device doesn't support the equaliser or any effects. Does this happen with other equaliser applications as well?
[Android Apps and Games] polomalkin:
Maybe it is because I deleted musicFX.apk to make Viper work? But other player's EQ works fine.

:(
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
That is weird which other apps?

I'm sure that the musicFX.apk only controls the equaliser so it should still work even if you delete it but maybe try and restore it and see what happens.

Also the equaliser on this music player does work with VIPER4Android.
[Android Apps and Games] polomalkin:
Try to use some visualization aps (NuViz f.e.).

Nothing work because of "no standart musicFX found". Even if I restore musicfx.apk in system/app folder.

So it can not be helped because of Flyme...
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
Did you make sure to set the permissions correctly when you restored it?
[Android Apps and Games] polomalkin:
Yes. Even Viper stops work after that, but no visualization at all :(
[Android Apps and Games] arashodchikov:
Please add the sort albums by year output.
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
This is already possible. Press the sort icon on the Toolbar at the top when you're on the albums tab and then select the sort option "Album Year"
[Android Apps and Games] arashodchikov:
Not so

Artist > Albums > Sort by years.
[Android Apps and Games] martinkem:
can you add ab audio focus feature so that the music player doesn't stop playing when audio from another app starts or have it pause and continue when the another app stops playing
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
So you mean in a selected artist. I'll get round to adding sorting soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
You can already do this... go to Settings > Audio Focus and then turn it off.

[Android Apps and Games] martinkem:
Does Pulse rely on the android mediascan? is there any way of making it perform a file scan independent of the android mediascan
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
What do you mean?
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
Yes it relies on the Android MediaStore database but you can manually scan files and folders into it through the file browser in the music player. You can do this by pressing the 3 dots on files and folders and then selecting "scan to MediaStore".
[Android Apps and Games] rivelta:
i mean why you dont upload apk here , i cant download from playstore.:mad:
[Android Apps and Games] Joshafc:
I have already, just click Downloads. You have to join the beta program before you can download it from the playstore.
