A few things:

1. The End key button used to minimize the program, now it closes completely

2. The OK button on my Prophet still does nothing

3. Memory usage is better - thankyou!

4. Full screen album art looks much better - thankyou!

5. Pressing the Next button when in album mode (with random selected) flips through all the albums in-between which looks pretty but take sa long time. It would be more intuitive to flip to the next album visible (even though random is selected). Otherwise, a sort of "fast-scroll" as you can see in itunes would be preferable.

6. Selecting a particular track is still very difficult without the stylus. I'd love to have a sort of wmp-style library view. I can see my list of artists (eventually) but going back to playing all takes a long time (it has to read the list from the card each time?). I'd like to be able to type a few letters of the track (wmp lets me do this with PCM keyboard) to find it.

7. A couple of tracks (I think just MP3) are playing a lot louder on this version. I am adjusting the volume more than I used to, but louder is better!

8. Clicking on the small album picture (top right) when in list view still doesn't flip the album over and I wish it would....

9. Regardless of the setting for backlight (mine is 5 mins) s2p always blacks the screen after about a minute. I'd like to keep the screen on, especially if i'm driving.

Excellent work, thanks again. I'm using this always at home and for now just have to switch to wmp when I'm in the car.

A_C:

Thank you very much for this great app. I am using all three now and they are all great. 7 gb of music on my storagecard is no problem en works very smooth!

I do have to reorganise my music to make coverflow work but that's ok!

Integration with s2u2 would be great, looking foreward! I hope that the app is then useable with the screen off so it will be saving battery.

Regards!

Ron
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ghostofapril:
first of all , thanks A_C for a 100 times again with this bomb in the sell!!!...the app. is great as always , still little slow on start-up , and little slow on the albums with large size (I mean selecting the song from the album which has a large amount of files , more than 100 MB) ... coverflow works very very smooth and great, and thanks again for the full screen album art , that was a great comeback!!!

thank you for everything , waiting for the S2U2 v1.0

Peace bro.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xd1936:
Bad news, A_C. I love what you've done so far with the theme and stuff... however, on a square 240x240 screen, when an album is selected in Coverflow, it shows the tracks and everything, but before, there was a little space on either side to exit back out to the albums. It takes up the whole screen on this version, so we are forced to soft-reset
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
LOL... forgot to say for 240 x 240 device, please set FullScreenAlbum to 0...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Alkhal:
Wow for my Tilt it works flawlessly. At this point there is nothing more I could want from S2P :D The S2U2 is the icing cant wait to try it. Great release A_C!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tekknogenius:
Curious where does one get S2U2 v1.00 or later. I've only seen v.99.

Thanx.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AlterationX10:
*cough*

Lyrics support would be great.

;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ghostofapril:
I think it's on the way!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xxza:
A_C, s2p is a great app. I encountered a problem with v0.38. I am using a HTC Vogue (sprint Touch). When I tried to go back to root directory of my storage card, s2p will get stuck and quit automatically in a couple of seconds. I never had such problem with v0.35.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 2manyphones:
This is very impressive! Nice work as always A_C :eek:

Unfortunately I am still not able to control the track and pause/play with my Touch XL (Blue Elves V5.0 ROM or OEM ROM) and Sony DS970 Stereo BT Headphones. This is the case with the screen off or on. I will try this with some other devices and headphones, but there is an issue with the Touch GSM.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DJ_Nitro:
S2P already does that in my device (Hermes), maybe you are pushing the on/off button, if I do that the DPAD won't work, but if I led S2P turn of the screen after the time set in registry, the DPAD will work normally.

Comments on 0.38 :)

- The lag when playing mp3 with embedded artwork in shuffle mode is gone, thanks a lot for that. :D

- Something I noticed was, when taping the icon to show list of songs in the folder (upper right corner), it takes more time in a folder with embedded mp3 files, there's even a pause in the music, something that didn't happen in 0.35.

- Thanks for the new bar, now we can jump to certain part of the song, very helpful when listening audiobooks.

- The dark background in the folder navigation looks cool.

- Fullscreen Album art looks cool.

App keeps getting better and better, congrats!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
Just installed. So far I think it is faster although I haven't checked memory yet... I can't wait for the S2U2 update though!

After more testing... It feels much slicker, the time selection is very useful, Coverflow is still very good, and the redesigned selection menu is very nice. One minor point, is there any chance of a config app (like S2U2 settings) to change the settings regarding screen timeout etc? Maybe release an "S2" config app that can be used for all of the S2 Series...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Moguledyouth:
Little Quirk

A_C, first this new version has exceeded all of my expectations! Awesome simply awesome.

I was wondering if it would be possible to turn the "right corner minimizes" in to a registry key that could be turned off. I am using FtouchSL with active corners enabled and I have the right corner as a built in "close" button, and now every time I try and just close S2P its a toss up between the two...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Trekvogel:
0.38 works very well on my Touch. It starts playing immediately now, which is great. There is now a significant lag when I press the icon to see the song list however. The improvements are great, keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tekknogenius:
Suggestion...

I would have the end key just minimize the app (since that's what it does for most apps, minimize then return to the Today screen), and have the upper right be the close. That seems most intuitive, to me at least in regards to how the rest of the WM seems to work.

Again, awesome work. Thanx.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mozillaxom:
Wow Cool.....

Thanks A_C for new release, especially with "- added option (FullScreenAlbum) to display a larger album art."

Downloading now, and testing it......

Cheers

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] djkamii:
I have the HTC Tytn and i am experiencing the same problem. Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] teemue:
This app looks very cool.. But couldn't you make a 176x220 version of it too? :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] animelover:
WTF? I don't know any device with such a screen resolution which is called "PocketPC"! Oo
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] teemue:
umm.. yeah. but smartphone does :P well, I tried newest version but ofcourse it can't be used with this...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] extraducksauce:
A_C,

what vast improvement on speed from 0.32! wow . . . wow . . . wow.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Matthy_47:
Hi A_C!!

What an improvement!! (See little donation)...

The only thing I miss is an UPnP support, because i have all my music on a server and would like to listen some mediaserverstreams via WLAN....

What do you think??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] itcrackerjack:
WOW

A_C, What a fantastic job you've done on this. All my friends go "wow" when I show it to them.

I have the AT&T Tilt. Whatever optimizations you did worked fantastically. Startup time is much improved. The album view is significantly faster (especially when you leave music playing), and the shuffle lag is non-existent.

What is the official name of the album view? On this thread I've seen pictureflow, coverflow, albumflow. I think you should come up with something unique that doesn't sound at all like the iphone's.

Some things, after that being said.

1. Generating the track listing in main play screen and in album view is still slow. I have to remember to just be patient.

You have my donation and continued support.

~Adam
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] VandyCWG:
AC,

How about an option for us SquareScreen users to use PictureFlow in Portrait Mode.

I like the layout of pictureflow, but it feels strange rotating my Treo on its side.

Other than that,GREAT work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TacoLoco:
fantastic app now what about a file explorer or a tcpmp frontend?

only a joke 3 apps at the same time is enough for one developer ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ghostofapril:
question-like suggestion!!!(?)

when you press the END button to close the app. the screen slowly fade-out and exit the app. , is it possible to launch the app. like this in the future , I mean slowly fade-in screen of the app. (it was like this on 0.17).

:D I know A_C , I know ... Me again Me!:cool: (believe me launching in that way will be elegant.)

thanx again for everything

cheers
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] davehutch:
Now if you and Tene...

...can get together and add his flowtest interface to Slide2Play, we'll have a winner ;-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
@xxza & @djkamii

Pls redownload the CAB file & try again. I didn't change the version no. & let me know does it work. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
LOL... That's why I always call it ALBUM VIEW.

That's the trade off...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
I always think about it but didn't come up with a good solution. Do you have any 'proper' ways to change the view to/from the ALBUM VIEW?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
I don't think so... I think tene knows why...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] itcrackerjack:
Start in Album View

I would like to second the ability to start in album view. If you just select your music folder in the explorer so that album view works, then you just have a long list of songs to start with (or the previous song if you have that enabled).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I have thought about this a while as well, and I didn't know (not being a programmer) how dificult it would be to add a REG entry to allow album view in portrait vs. landscape.

(Plus, maybe an icon or hard-button dedicated to switching views would make the switching easier?)

I am very happy with this app so far, and understand if these ideas are either not possible, or not worth your time to impliment....after all, turning our devices sideways IS a low price to pay for suck a cool app!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
Maybe map the CAM button to Album Flow/Normal mode as as far as I can tell it does nothing ATM. And have a reg key/options program to change the default rotation of the Album Flow started by the hardware button. Maybe an option program could be used generally as tweaking the registry isn't that fun :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] itcrackerjack:
I love the way the rotation to ALBUM VIEW works. I think it is intuitive and clever.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] robp:
AWESOME

I downloaded 0.38 and the storage memory issue is gone!

Thanks, A_C! You're the greatest! (I'll be making a donation as well)

*EDIT*

Forgot to ask:

Since Touch Dual has no hardware Softkeys, how do I skip to next album without using album view?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] krzzz:
maybe I'm retarded but when I extract it I don't see a .cab file :X
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] spencepu3:
A_C,

I just finished setting up all my album art for album view and I must say it looks awesome. Great work really!

My only problem is that it takes forever for me to scroll through the albums. right now when I scroll through them it only goes through about 2 covers and stops. Do you have any plans on making it scroll kinetically and faster so its easier to find the album quicker?

thanks again
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cubican:
hey A_C love S2P beats any other media player but i would like 1 request the full album art screen is awesome but can u make it under neath the panel above where it displays the song info and what not it would look better that way then it interferring with the info thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xxza:
A_C, I redownloaded the cab. Now it works perfectly. Thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Just installed the new version on my WX, and no problems....A_C you got it down pat!!! Switching views is a lot easier for some reason, and even without the REG change you mentioned earler for 240x240 devices, both views work and look great, so far so good, I will test more later when I can actually listen to the music (at work now LOL)!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] enrimena:
Anyone out there with an iPAQ 6945 with S2P 0.32 or 0.38 working??

=(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] VandyCWG:
Well, a couple of thoughts on my end AC....

One could be, start the program in album view, by adding a reg value such as, albumviewstart 0 or 1.

Another thought, add a reg key of squaredevice 0 or 1.

If it is known as a square device, when I swipe up or down, it can spin or rotate, or something and change to the album view which is set to portrait mode.

Is that what you were looking for, or should I brainstorm a little more? I am willing to help test a solution for you as well.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mozillaxom:
GREAT!!!!!.....

S2P v0.38 works like charm, as a far i dont have any problem.

I realy like it:

1.FullScreenAlbum <--- especially

2.More faster than

3.perfect

Many Thank A_C for your HARD WORK

You are MASTER Developer

Install Problem

Hi A_C

First, good job you've being doing with your apps. I tried S2V and S2P 0.32 and I enjoy them very much, and it work great too.

But now I have this problem:

I uninstalled S2P 0.32 and downloaded 0.38. I followed the procedures as you mentioned in the first post (extract the downloaded files, copied the cab file to device, run the cab file). Some moments after the install procedure begin, a mesage says - "A_C S2P cannot be installed. If you want to try to install in a different location, please choose the location, ... device or storage card".

I ve downloaded and tried to install for several times - in deveide and in the sd card.

can you help me, please?

Thanks

Ioncila

P.S. - I own a Qtek 9100 WM5
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mikeeey:
why so slow? and can we browse music?

A_C i haven't heard any reports on this thread that it's been slow for people, but for me its very slow. when selecting a song from the list it takes almost 10 seconds for my click to work, then it finally selects that song. when i click next or previous it takes almost 10 seconds to switch the song.

also, is there a way we can browse our music or select directories? this may be part of the problem, everything on my storage card shows as a big list.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ghostofapril:
on player screen tap the BACK-ARROW , then go to the roots of the files (probably /storage card) , then tap on arrows in front of the name of the folders not the name of 'em ... you can see sub-directories , and you can easily brows through your files.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] johanromijn:
Maybe I know what the problem is.

I had this issue too. Problem was that my album art (folder.jpg) was 1.8 Mb!

After resizing, it was only 60 Kb, and that made it MUCH faster!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
Yera good A C.

But same Problem as before: Some song names aren`t shown correct. s2p shows the filenames not the songnames. But wmp does it correct.:confused:

And for AC and others, my new icon-addon is out:http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=128348
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ioncila:
Well, I resolved the problem:

had to delete all the files of S2P.

Now version 0.38 has been installed and it works.

not as perfectly as some comments i read in this thread, because there is some issues that dont work propely, such as:

- transition bteween musics runs slowly; sometimes

- sliding left to right or vice versa goes to "explosion"

- and i cant do this - "Under the music playback screen, slide up or down the edge of the album art will change to the Album View screen", as you say in the readme file - simply nothing happens.

thanks again

ioncila
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] master athlon:
Nice update A_C, but this version runs very slow on my device, so far v0.17 works perfectly for me, i don't know why or how but the new ones just don't work fluently.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] clarks_fr:
Yeah it's not working for me neither.

But congratulations for the creator, it's an awesome work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jomo25:
Yikes. I decided to give S2P another go. I installed the latest verison v.38. I opened my directory at the top of my music folder, and it gave me the familiar "Low on Storage Memory" error. I removed S2P and soft reset and now I still keep getting the error message! I have 80 KB storage free. I had 37MB free previously. I used MemMaid to clean and it didn't clean up more than 16KB.

Where are the files that are taking up all the space and how can I delete them! Please help!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mikeeey:
johanromijn i looked at my album arts but this wasnt the problem, almost every click takes about 10 seconds to take effect. it happens when i pick a new song or press next for the next song.

thanks! i should have seen that but i geuss i didn't, im still having the problem that everything is way too slow.

your having the same problem? does it take like 10 seconds for a song to change when you click the next button? or 10 seconds to select a song from the now playing list?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cesc:
its working fine in my samsung i780 (320x320).. the only thing is that in album view when i click in a album and the list song appears i cant go back to the album view by pressing the image in the corner with the album image i have to press the softkeys to go to the next album and with that it returns to the album view
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jomo25:
Wow, this makes no sense. But at least I got my missing memory back. So, i re-installed S2P, and now I have my 37MB back. Don't know why. I compare the MemMaid folder space before and after and its the same, but now all seems OK. I still get the "Low on Storage" message when I go to CF mode, but at least I now have memory back. That was weird, and scary.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kellybrf:
when in the file tree i will select a file/folder and it will highlight, but it will actually select the file/folder above or below it. its rather frustrating, and happens probably 70% of the time.

i have to say i prefer the smaller album view from .32 as well, i dont like the artwork cut off at the top
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Smartjunkie007:
Won't Start either

Hello Everyone,

Any help would be appreciated.

I for some reason I can't get this program to work. I tried versions .32 and .38. I get two different error results. When I run version .38 It says "the operation completed successsfully", and version .32 says "the handle is valid". I also ran the wmp-ocx.fix on both versions, but that didn't change anything. I am at a lost.

I don't have Windows media player on my device if that matters. I have a sprint mogul (aka htc6800). After a bootup i have 20 megs of ram.(which sucks in my opinion) The Mogul limited program ram is a real joke. If I need to answer any other questions just let me know. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Moguledyouth:
Smartjunkie007, S2P uses the Windows Media Player libraries to decode your mp3s etc, NO MEDIA PLAYER = NO WORKING S2P!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aikidoka-mks:
Anyone have a suggestion for how to stop the music from skipping on my sprint touch? The only media player that comes close to not skipping for me is tcpmp. That one still skips but it's very very rare and very subtle. I can stop the skips completely for any player by turning airplane mode off but that's a irritating work around and I really love S2P.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Moguledyouth:
On the new version of .38 of S2P, trying to get the song list in portrait mode or Album view is very slow, and it also will totally kill the audio of whatever song is playing for a good 3-4 seconds while the list is taking its sweet time to show up. I have a Mogul with 21 megs free on norm.

Love this program!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] djsai:
Can someone plz help me with the cover flow. How do i do that. It doest work when i put the jpeg album cover in the Album folder. This how i have it for example:

Storage Card/My Music/50 cent/Get Rich or Try Dying/In da club.mp3

Where do i put the jpeg picture????

I want this to work, Plz help me..Thank u guys..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Alkhal:
This is on the first page.

v0.38

- reduced the RAM usage, especially when there are a lot of music files on the list.

- reduced the start up time.

**- added option (FullScreenAlbum) to display a larger album art. For 240 x 240 device, please set it to 0.**

- added a sliding button to "move" the playback.

- added minimize S2P by tapping the top right corner of the screen.

- rearranged some keys - END/OK to quit; ACCEPT to minimize.

- integration with S2U2 v1.00 or later (read the S2U2's readme.txt for details)

- all system icons are live when S2U2 (v1.00 or later) is already running in the background. (but it doesn't mean S2U2 is mandatory)

- runs properly on a 320x320 emulator, but not tested on any real 320x320 devices.

- some minor bugs fixed.

If you read the third one you will see it is optional. :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ryomahino:
put your "folder.jpg" file in this folder:

Storage Card/My Music/50 cent/Get Rich or Try Dying/

Automatically the s2p gonna read the cover.

or you can try the program MP3tag posted in this thread already to embbed the cover to the mp3 like a tag.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DaMilky:
Thank you for the update. All the problems I previously were facing are pretty much gone(with the exception of when I slide open my keyboard the screen still doesn't rotate). Only thing that would make this program even more supurb would be the addition of aac, and ogg, and even the video codec support of WMP. One can dream right?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ghostofapril:
please attention to the point that S2P player screen is always portrait and the album-view screen (coverflo) is always landscape , separateley from your device setting , even if your device is sets to landscape, you'll see the portrait player screen when you launch the app.

cheers
