I'll work on removing the notification if music is playing, thanks for the feedback.

App shortcuts is a feature introduced in Android 7.1. If you're running an earlier version of Android, you won't be able to use this feature.

The back button issue is most definitely a bug and will be addressed shortly.
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
Currently Auracle does not have folder browsing, but many users have requested this feature so it's high on my todo list.
[Android Apps and Games] timbck2:
Thanks for the quick response. I didn't know (and am quite surprised) that Google Play Music has no API. What about Amazon Music Player as an option for the future?
[Android Apps and Games] Mar-cel:
It shows every song from a album Into single Albums
[Android Apps and Games] arvindgr:
Thanks for quick response. I tried the app now. It really hurts my eyes, being all WHITE! Can you also try some Black theme to help AMOLED displays..?
[Android Apps and Games] starboi4eva:
It looks really nice. Will give it a try as Poweramp is driving me mad these days.
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
Do these songs have the same artist? Do they have the same album artist?
[Android Apps and Games] Mar-cel:
Same album but different artists
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
This has been highly requested by users and it's a top priority for my todo list.
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
There are two separate tags called "Artist" and "Album Artist". "Artist" is the artist of the song and "Album Artist" is the artist of the album. You're saying that these songs have different "Artist" tags but have the same "Album Artist" tags?
[Android Apps and Games] Kevin M:
This looks absolutely beautiful. Now I just need an equally beautiful way of getting my media on Android. Does anybody know of a good way to sync music to my SD card?

Any plans to open-source or add Google Cast support?
[Android Apps and Games] Andromeda_Station:
I keep 3 phones, a tablet and a car head unit all synced to a folder on a network drive with this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite

You can set it up to sync on a schedule or manually, ignore or mirror source/target deletions, use MD5, etc. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Kevin M:
Looks pretty solid. Thanks for the suggestion. Assuming this works it'll be much more convenient than the highly convoluted adb ssh+rsync method I've slapped together. I'll probably publish that here at some point as it may be useful to someone.
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
Glad you like the designs :) I don't have plans to open source this, but I do have plans to implement Chromecast support.
[Android Apps and Games] Kevin M:
Thanks for the quick response. Looking forward to future developments!
[Android Apps and Games] m0ndul:
Hi, testing your app noticed that the search is not very friendly with special characters, for example, I have a song with the word "xô" and using another player I can find it typing xo, it would be nice to have this feature for non-English songs.

Another thing would be giving the user the option to choose the notification icons color, I have a EMUI based phone and it shows dark buttons over a dark background.

Also on my ROM, don't know it this happens on other phones, the notification persists after pausing the song and exiting the app, I suggest keeping it only if it was paused from it.

Thanks a lot for your app
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
Thanks for the feedback! I'll look into better search for non-English songs. The notification issue is definitely a bug...I'll work on it. Could you send me a screenshot of the notification you see?
[Android Apps and Games] sa4ni:
MusixMatch

this app synchronize/download lyrics for any song if lyrics is available......
[Android Apps and Games] keepcalmrollon:
Great job on this initial version, there's a lot of promise here!

These are the features I'd like to request, some of which have already been mentioned but I'll add my vote in for them:

- Google Cast support

- Android Auto support

- some sort of Tasker support, even just through intents like Pocket Casts uses

Thank you so much!

My phone is 6.0.1 and I'm using Nova launcher so app shortcut should work on my phone.

App shortcuts of XDA labs, play store ,maps etc are working on my phone.

And I screenshot it shows widgets of shuffle but there is no widget for shuffle in this player. There is only app widget in the widget list.
[Android Apps and Games] jithuelad:
Awesome app. Cool clean UI & Animations. Love at first sight :D. Many little reason to love. The way next and previous track handled, the way 'how many time I played the song' is displayed...etc. Now some bug reporting time :

* As someone reported earlier, app shortcuts not working. I am on OnePlus 3, stock based Android 7.0 ROM + Nova launcher. All other apps (settings, Google Photos, Playstore...etc) have app shortcuts working fine.

* When a track is currently playing press back button and come back to your home screen. Then again click on the app icon. It will take you to the 'songs' tab. Now again press the back button, you will be in the songs tab again, but it will be empty. Clicking the back button once again will bring you back to home screen. I can show you a video of the same if you need.

* Play a song over headphone. Pause it. Disconnect the headphone. You will not be able to clear the music player from your notifications. To clear it you need to click the play button again and pause it then. Now you can clear it from notifications.

* Play back control from headphone is not implemented I think. Dobule tap headphone button to skip the track isn't working.

That's all for now. Will be using this player as a daily driver. Will be around this thread. Excellent job.!

Edit : Update : Oh by the way Viper folks, this music player does support external audio mods. I am using Viper along with this beauty :)
[Android Apps and Games] TechNova:
Nice to hear that :)

Looking forward for the same.

Overall i liked the UI of this app but wanna give few feedbacks from my side.

1.Songs list kinda looks messy. If there are like, titles for initial letter like # for numbers, Songs from 'A', 'B',etc., It will look much cleaner then.

2.The swipe up/down on now playing is very laggy, a bug maybe (using a redmi note 3 sd /kenzo running on miui 8 EU v7.3.2).
[Android Apps and Games] kumardeepu:
Direct apk link

As im not using google play store can u provide me direct download link for apk..
[Android Apps and Games] sunmughans:
Awesome man

Really good piece of work by you. Thankyou for your support. I like the ui verymuch and also the features are quiet simple and responsive :)
[Android Apps and Games] tech mashido:
great job bro....i was waiting for this type of app from a long time ....thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Anonshe:
Hi firstly I would like to thank you for the wonderful app. Finally an app that has a now playing queue that can be modified by swiping instead of using buttons.

Regarding the multiple entries for same album, the album artist tag if empty or different for each song, then the app lists the album separately. For example, if album xyz has 4 songs by various singers and no album artist then it lists the album 4 times with one song in each. I think this can be worked if you simply sort albums by album names instead of mixing the artists for sorting albums out.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] :
EDIT: Turns out I'm the stupid one. The app was whitelisting the Music folder from the Internal Storage. Added the Music folder from SD Card and BAM! It worked. Loving it so far!

Amazing Concept. Was so excited try it out but unfortunately it doesn't detect songs for me on a Galaxy S7 with Nougat. Other apps are able to detect the songs just fine and they are stored on SD Card, if it matters. BTW I have granted storage permissions :/

EDIT 2: The scroling animation for the que is kinda laggy for me but otherwise I feel like I might have found my new default music player :) Thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] Mar-cel:
First screenshot Sony music player how it should be displayed and second screenshot your music player.
[Android Apps and Games] RobboW:
Joined the beta program, installed app etc, got instant warning of sign in to my Google account from India. I'm in Australia. Changed password, now uninstall and leave beta program. What's the deal?

Don't touch it with a bargepole....
[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
App force stop after editing tags .

Artist means singer of the song or music director ?
[Android Apps and Games] ceza1380:
Please add apk here in xda. I don't use Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] AndyYan:
Quite an astounding story in developing it, and the app itself looks great in screenshot as well. Still, too bad it's Play Store only for now, can't even test how it stacks up to PowerAMP myself...
[Android Apps and Games] showofdeth:
So I tried it out and as is it is perfectly fine. I wouldn't call it a Phonograph replacement just yet and here's why (for me personally):

•Not enough customisation. I want to change colours of various UI elements which can't be done here.

•The playback controls in the notification shade are ugly. Again, would be nice if they had a little colour to them. Also the ability to disable expanded notification altogether by default.

[Top Controls are Phonograph bottom are for Auracle](http://i.imgur.com/S8Mmpja.png)

•No playback controls in-app. What's that about? I like that the developer has tried something different but come on. I need visible controls. I find Phonograph has a great mix on on-screen controls and track skipping gestures.

•No third party equaliser support (viper4android)

Those are just few of my niggles with the app so far. I like what I'm seeing but right now there just isn't enough to get me to switch.

One thing I really like is how the app loads album art instantly when the app is opened without that gross pop-in when you scroll through your collection. Also the pictures of the artists themselves is a nice touch.
[Android Apps and Games] ACM1899:
Tnx for the App... 1.Would be nice to have (more) options by longpressing a song in a list. 2.Sometimes when i want to play a song within an album or artist, through an already playing song, the app crashes or wont play. 3.to be able to assign the EQ for each song differently,would be nice.

4. Pushing next song button in notification bar sometimes wont work.
[Android Apps and Games] Moiremoi:
It's an amazing Music Player !

It will replace my GPM !

But, I have a question, can it have a compatibility with the Xposed Module "XMediaNotificationTrackSelector" by Maxr1998, or an implementation on your own?

(This thing ->

[YOUTUBE]N2EYca4aofY[/YOUTUBE]

)

It would be awesome !

I apologize for ma bad English ^^'
[Android Apps and Games] Zkaar:
It seems like a good app so far!

But I face some problems with this app (and other music apps except for PowerAmp), several songs can't have their tags read correctly. I get things like album art missing, names cut off and genres become random numbers. The files are tagged properly, used MP3Tag to do it, and the tags are read correctly on my PC and PowerAmp. What could be it?
[Android Apps and Games] martinkem:
i loved the interface, looks quite decent. However the playlist doesn't quite work as the files shown are just empty.

and also it would be great if it listed playlists inside the tab like it does with songs and albums instead of the sidebar.
[Android Apps and Games] jeremywh7:
Looking forward to trying this; please also allow the ability to read and use tags with folder browsing. For example, to sort by track number...or more specifically, by disk (if present) then track number. E.g. track 7 on disc 2 of a boxed set. I've tried several music players that tout folder access, and none allow sorting in folder/file mode. :-/

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
What about adding Mp3 cutter feature.

So that we don't need any other app for cutting mp3.

And this will become all in one music player. :)

I want to install this fantastic app on my old samsung galaxy chat with android 4.1.2, can I install it? Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] Mr.Ak:
What type of a question is this? Did you even read the thread title before asking?

It's limited to 4.4+!
[Android Apps and Games] FadeFx:
[MENTION=3898990]Boomchaos[/MENTION], just installed your app and have one suggestion right away. I usually have a cover picture in each cd folder of my music collection, that is because i did it that way for more than a century. Currently i use mortplayer music because of its way to handle folder playback and have a .nomedia file in my root music folder so the tonns of cover images dont show up in gallery. Mortplayer actually serves me well functionality wise, but its gingerbread style design is a bit outdated and wont get updated as support has stalled, so i am always looking for a good replacement.

It would be cool if we could have an "ignore .nomedia file" option in settings, for the rest i can not say much yet as i didnt delete the file yet and auracle doesnt find one file to play... for testing i will now remove the file and see if the rest of the player can serve me as i like.

Thanx for your work, it is appreciated anyways.

Edit: seems like the app is missing external storage permission, i removed the .nomedia file, rebooted, but still no music found, despite there is 30+ gigs.

[Android Apps and Games] xdagee:
Brilliant stuff out there :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
Thanks for the kind words! App Shortcuts are really not supposed to work pre-Android 7.1, but the Nova launcher dev is doing some tricks to get it working. I've reached out to him for more information.

The persistent playback notification is a bug that I need to work on, thanks.

Playback control should work... I know that toggling playback works as well as standard next and previous buttons. I think the headphones are sending a non-standard signal to Android, so it's not being detected/registered properly. Could you post a link to your headphones?
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
Could you explain your first feedback a little more? Maybe an example would help. Does an existing app already do this?

As for the 2nd point, yes that it is a bug, and I'll get around to fixing it eventually.
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
I've uploaded the apk to the downloads section. I'm not sure if there's a way for you to get updates besides this thread though... How do other developers usually handle this?
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
I could have albums be created by just the title, but then how would an album get an artist? Would some albums just not have artists? What about 2 different albums that have the same name? They'd be lumped together in the same album even though they're different.
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
Thanks for the kind words :) Could you post a screenshot for where you are experiencing lag? I just want to make sure I know exactly what you're talking about.
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
Could you list out the tags for 2 of the songs in that album? That would help a ton. In particular, I'd like to see the artist, album artist, and album tags, although other tags might be helpful.
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
I think that was just coincidence...This app doesn't have access or permissions to your accounts. You can check for yourself by going to App Info > Permissions. The only permission you should see is storage and I use that permission to access the songs on the device. Sorry someone logged into your account :/
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
There are two separate tags called "Artist" and "Album Artist". "Artist" is the artist of the song and "Album Artist" is the artist of the album.

Could you post a logcat for the tag editing crash?
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
Color customization is on my todo list. I'll prioritize it when more users ask for it.

Everywhere that it's possible to control playback in the app, the notification is not visible. Everywhere that it is not possible to control playback via the app's UI, there is the notification that's available for controlling playback. Would you like to see that behavior change?

And some other users in this thread have gotten viper to work. You should probably talk to them to figure out. In particular, check out this post
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
1. You can currently get more options by long pressing on the enqueue icon, although I'll change it to the long pressing on the entire song. Are there any options missing from that menu that you'd like to see?

2. Can you produce a logcat for this issue?

3. I'll add this to my todo list if more people ask for it.

4. Does the notification say queue empty when the next song button doesn't work?
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
Wow that's a pretty cool feature! However, I don't plan on incorporating Xposed Modules anytime soon. If more users request this feature, I may consider putting it on my todo list.
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
I'm not sure what the problem could be...Would you mind posting a file that has tags readable by PowerAmp or your PC but is broken on Auracle? This way I can get a better look at it.
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
Auracle skips over songs listed in the m3u file if it can't find them on the device or sees a poorly formatted m3u file. I could totally be doing something wrong though...Would you mind posting an m3u file that you have that's causing issues in Auracle?
[Android Apps and Games] AndyYan:
I'm totally fine with checking this thread manually for updates ocassionally :)
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
This makes a lot of sense. I'll put it on my todo list for when I'm implementing folder browsing.
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
If more users ask for this, I'll look into putting it on my todo list, but I'd like to keep functionality strictly to playback for now.
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
Auracle is only available on Android 4.4 and above. I don't intend on changing that anytime soon, but thanks for the kind words :)
[Android Apps and Games] Zkaar:
Check your PMs, I've sent you some details there.
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
Have you tried editing the whitelist to include your music folder? You can do this by going to Settings > Library > Edit Whitelist
[Android Apps and Games] FadeFx:
Sure i did that, first on initial setup, then from settings again...

[Android Apps and Games] TechNova:
Right now i don't remember a music app for this, but instead i used miui contacts app to get you a rough idea.

View attachment 4064909

Starting from 'A' header, then all contacts name

Then 'B' header, all contacts name

In a similar manner, (instead of contacts) the song names can be arranged, along with the alphabetical sidebar for scrolling.

(Starting from 'A' header, then songs from A

'B' header, then songs from B)

I'm not very good at explaining ? still im trying my best.
[Android Apps and Games] Anonshe:
Hmm I don't know how others do it. I am posting screenshots of how rocket player is handling it and how it's in auracle. The album artist for all the songs are (incorrectly) different hence the splitting of the album in the list. Also this gave me the opportunity to find a bug, go into albums-> individual album-> go back to albums view and the app displays the top of the list instead of the album you just exited from. Also, after editing a tag for a single song, the app displays a bank screen then exits to the top of the list of the albums.

Thanks for your work!
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
Did you also rescan your library? Sorry if it seems like I'm asking dumb questions, I just want to make sure to get the basics out of the way. You can rescan your library by going to Settings > Library > Scan Library
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
Now I understand. There's a quick scroll that lets you see what section you're currently scrolling through. Have you tried using that?
[Android Apps and Games] TechNova:
Yes i observed it few mins ago ?.

I'll let you know if i found anything else like bugs or something :o
[Android Apps and Games] Boomchaos:
Thanks for the screenshots, they are very helpful. I'll have to look into how Rocket Player does this...

I'm aware of the bug you reported. I'll work on getting a fix.
[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
Thanks for the clarification.

By the way iam unable to take logcat i don't have the required items for that
[Android Apps and Games] jithuelad:
Thanks for the reply. I am using Xiaomi Mi Piston headphones. It works well with PowerAMP and Google Play Music. Anything about that empty tab issue I have mentioned ?
[Android Apps and Games] FadeFx:
Yes, been there, did that. However, now it did actually find music, probably had to wait for the android own mediascanner to complete...

I don't know what happened but this was straight after installing and running Auracle. It's not a common occurrence with my account either. Only the second time it has happened in a number of years (last time after installing an app too). It showed that it logged in as my phone but in India. Like it was on a VPN or something.
[Android Apps and Games] martinkem:
The same thing happens with all my m3u files, i have attached one of my playlist in a zip
[Android Apps and Games] prabhuinbar:
Nice app :) love the design

Started testing it and here are my opinions

* FC when changing EQ presets

*Browsing through folders should be an option

* Would love to hear the music as rich as Poweramp (Not that I am comparing but Poweramp has the best of all the music players I used)

I am subscribing to this thread because I loved the app and would love to help out by testing it :) Nice work dev
[Android Apps and Games] jithuelad:
Viper works well.
[Android Apps and Games] showofdeth:
Yeah I figured that out earlier. At the time of my post I was checking the the equaliser option in-app and where other apps I have used give the option of selecting a third party EQ this one didn't. I just assumed wrongly obviously. My bad on that point.
[Android Apps and Games] Ghostone45:
3. Last add playlist
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
I believe if you click "new" beside playlists in side drawer it creates/adds new playlist.

Or, did you mean import?

It is located in settings

[MENTION=3898990]Boomchaos[/MENTION]

When adding directory to whitelist, subdirectories appear as null file:

And there is no way of removing null file/directory from song list!

Now playing screen could use some work, artwork blown up and not clear. Cards format works for queue but not quite for now playing, the background behind the cards are awkward.

Song seekbar barely visible in grey

.

Also, apk is huge for music player, 15mb?

Is it because all libraries for all formats are included, mips, x86-64, arm etc. ?

Finally bug when clicking back to exit player,

a blank song list appears and after clicking back again player exits.

All in all interestimg player.

A few quirks need to be fixed.

Theme-able interface:

Colour

Displayed content, i.e. genres, albums can be selected to be displayed or not:

In the notification,

What does thumbs up/down do: as there is no reference in library?
[Android Apps and Games] Ghostone45:
in some music player like itunes, there is an automatic playlist that sorts music by date.

It can be useful to find new added music. I download them online so their name is often not the name of the song which make them hard to find.

Maybe also add an access to playlist if "default start screen"
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
So you mean Sorting!

Sort by date, ...
[Android Apps and Games] Moiremoi:

Have you planned to add support for Google Play Music ?
