Sorry if this has been asked and answered already, but is there a reason to use this app over Pulsar?
[Android Apps and Games] Yuhina:
AAC Format…

Hello,I'm Japanese user.

I always use it happily. Is AAC not supported among the supported formats? . If I try to edit and save AAC music tags before this, I get an error ... and make AAC compatible! ,Thank you! ! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Boggalog:
I would like to second everyone else here, once Omnia receives .m3u playlist support it will be complete for me. Pulsar would find my playlists empty though, it would be great if that can be fixed. Omnia has already solved my one other problem with Pulsar where artists would still be listed under the artist info after album artist had been selected.
[Android Apps and Games] dis0rder:
Hi there,

I've got a problem with the representation in the 'artist' view.

'Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' appear twice in list.

Once as 'Nick Cave' and again as 'The Bad Seeds'. With all the same albums, songs etc.

The metadata are of course 'Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds'.

How do I get this resolved that it only appears once in the list as 'Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds'?

Hamburger menu|Settings|Library|Multiple Artists

Remove the check-mark next to '& (ampersand)'

Rescan the library when done
[Android Apps and Games] vice350z:
IT's answered on the first page.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
The folders page shows the direct parent folder which contains real song files.

The library can set the parent folder which can includes/excludes its children file/folder recursively.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Currently this is not possible, but I think I can make it happen in future releases.

According to current layout, I think the song title can display from 1 line text to 2 lines.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Currently Omnia will use folder name and album name to distinguish albums. If there are one album who has multiple discs and split to different folders, I suppose they have good folder structure, such as CD1 folder and CD2 folder, otherwise it cannot tell if they are from the same album, or they are from different albums but with the same album name.

What is your folder structure to store songs for different CDs?

Also you said Omnia loads slowly, is it slow when scanning or when starting up?
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Yes... This is current logic. If necessary, I can extend it to match all 2 digits numbers, then 0, 1, 00, 10 and 99 will all be supported.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
I am not sure how popular the rating tag is used, but this can be implemented with no problem, just to see if it is commonly used.

Currently you can mark a music as favorite, then you can find your all favorite songs in an automatically generated "favorites" playlist in Omnia. I think you do not have any interest to listen all songs which rated as 1 star.

Also why not includes this feature it that, when you click the rating for now playing song, it will write the rating back to the song file tags. Currently I do not want to write the song files only because of this behavior.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Woo... I did not notice that. What a big mistake I have made... Thanks for your reminder.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
The songs can be shown in songs tab. But I will consider to show them in unknown albums and artists in future releases.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
When you click the artist and go to artist page, from toolbar you can change the sort order to release date.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
For music pause, I think the main cause is the battery settings that the system may kill the application. Please check the battery settings to keep the app running in background.

Omnia Music Player vs. Pulsar Music Player:

Omnia Music Player is the sister application of Pulsar Music Player. It contains following differentiation:

✓ New user interface and experience.

✓ Built-in audio engine, decoder and library.

✓ 10 bands equalizer and 15 presets.

✓ Reverb settings powered by Freeverb.

✓ More flexible preference settings.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
I think playback is no problem. If you cannot edit tags for it, could you send me a test file to support@rhmsoft.com? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
It will be supported soon.
[Android Apps and Games] SamDude:
Switched recently from long-time used-to-be-great now-annoyingly-buggy music player. One UI suggestion: highlight random and repeat the same color as play if enabled. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] brewsbro:
Thanks for the reply. But for me, Omnia just doesn't play .m4a files well. Sometimes it pauses the m4a song, sometimes it skips to next song right in middle, or sometimes just will not play a m4a song. Battery settings are fine. Same files play just fine in another player.
[Android Apps and Games] pinkbecca:
thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Gumbert7:
Hello, nice application. Although, it have annoying habit to stop itself and, what's more, to "forgot" last paused position (starts the composition from the beginning). I am hearing audiobook, one track lasts 9 hours, so it's not that easy to restore position after re-launching the app.

The case: playing was paused using widget in the Notification Panel; go to Viber to listen audio message = Omnia was closed, track was started from the beginning after re-launching. There are other cases, however I can't remember the precise steps.

Phone: OnePlus 6, OS: Android 10, Omnia 1.2.8
[Android Apps and Games] speed-wiz:
Omnia is my new main music player app. It was Pulsar before that. Can you please make Omnia remember the last used page?

I have three tab items: Albums, Artists, and Playlists. But no matter which page I was on last, it always opens up to Albums.

Thank you for a very nice app.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Do you mean you want them to use the same accent color? For instance, orange color in default theme?
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
If you can find which m4a file not supported well, please send it to support@rhmsoft.com for me to have a test. Also please kindly tell me your device type and Android version. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Please enable remember position for long tracks feature, this settings is in settings->playback section.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
I prefer to highlight the 1st tab when you launch your app from scratch. But I will consider this in future releases if it is a common requirement.

Just a reminder, you can change the tab sequence in settings page, albums may not always be the first if you do not like it.
[Android Apps and Games] brewsbro:
hi, thanks for reply. I'm not comfortable sending my audio files. I just converted 6 more m4a files to mp3 so they would play. I do not have a lot of m4a files. when issues happen with a m4a, its completely random. sometimes the exact same file will play a short time and pause, the next time play fine, the next not play at all. Current phone samsung note 10+

Same issues with m4a files using pulsar on current phone and my last phone.

other than that love the player, lol.

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Do you mean that Pulsar cannot play the m4a file either?

Trouble adding playlists

Hi,

Thanks for adding playlist support! I'm having trouble adding any playlist though. My playlists are in .m3u format and I'm making them using MusicBee on windows before transferring them to my phone. When importing them into Oria it comes up saying "Error when importing following playlists...". The same playlists work on other Android players such as Blackplayer, they come up in pulsar but empty showing 0 songs. I've got a screenshot and test playlist uploaded to demonstrate but as a new user I can't post links, they are available it would be useful.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Decalicatan Decalicatan:
Just to say thanks for the last update with the playlist support! Really appreciated!!!
[Android Apps and Games] brewsbro:
Had same random issue with Pulsar in the past. I'm not sure if its just an issue on my end with some of my files? Its just so random. Sorry to be so vague. anyhow, I have been converting the few i have to mp3. If I have any issues I will let you know. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Please send the m3u file to support@rhmsoft.com, I need to have a study. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Please give a 5 star rating in Google Play to support my work, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Can you please consider adding advanced multi-selection, to be able to select all songs above current one, so that I could delete their files?

Sometimes, when I'm done with music I heard, I want to get rid of it, and get new ones.
[Android Apps and Games] pinkbecca:
I look forward to this, because every time Bluetooth connects the playlist plays the album all over again after I've already finished it, so it would be nice that once I finish an album it will automatically clear the queue, thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] brewsbro:
A follow up to my m4a issue. It was an issue on my end. I guess it was something to do with the converting stuff i used a long time ago? weird how the issue only happened with omnia and pulsar. anyway, I used something else to convert a mp3 to a m4a and all was fine.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
I think current version already support multi-selection, just long click on the song and then you will enter multi-selection mode, then from toolbar there is icon to select all songs.
[Android Apps and Games] kundifon:
I started with Pulsar+ and after my feedback and feature request the developer recomend me to try Omnia.

I was testig Omnia. It's way better as Pulsar. The difference is in tiny details, which are important. Highly recommend even in current state but it has a lot of potential.

I also appreciate the developer's response.
[Android Apps and Games] Shekh Sowrov:
Please add the backup system ... Now days it's a very important thing ... This player is good but ..im searching for a player that will provide this advantage
[Android Apps and Games] brianmolko1981:
I have 25.000+ music files on my phone, but omnia doesn't recognize not all of them. Just a little bit more than 4000. What could be the issue? Pulsar found all of the 25.000+ files.

hi, there's a bug I hope you can fix, when I choose Folders section and I go to Selena, inside the folder shows me s folder named Gomez, I checked on my hard disk and there's no such folder, why does it show this inside Selena?, please see from the photos I attached

Feature request: Please add an option for custom sort order for Playlists and Genres, so that user can sort as needed.
[Android Apps and Games] Aleph87:
Hi rhmsoft! I've using Omnia and I love it. Some requests I think could improve the user experience :P

I was wondering if you could add a feature to select a song as favorite from the lock-up screen or notification bar instead of opening the app. Also the only way to check if a song is favorited is opening the main player, and it would save time if you could see them from the playlist and/or the notification bar.

I think it would be useful to show the track number somewhere, currently he only way to check a song's track number is from editing tags (!)

I don't know if only I have this issue, but deleting a song only deletes them from the player, not the phone's memory. If I recall correctly that was not a issue with Pulsar. Can you add a way to delete files permanently?

Thanks for reading
[Android Apps and Games] Sughosha:
Hi, please add a seperate transparency options for the top area, playback screen background and the toolbar menu, and also one for navigation bar.
[Android Apps and Games] pinkbecca:
there is a problem with the volume steps using Bluetooth headphones, I notice a big jump of loudness on the 4th step of increasing the volume when starting from mute (0 volume), once I press 1st, 2nd and 3rd steps are fine but the 4th time I press it becomes loud, please can you fix that.

Request: mass tag editing:

I have so many songs, To be more specific I want to tag Genres with subgenres. Currently I need to do one by one which could take hours. I have to move all my songs to PC, edit with tagging tool there, and then paste back to my phone. It would be very helpful if Omnia supports mass tagging for multiple selected songs, by greying out different values and only making common value editable.

Playback over Bluetooth

I found two issues:

1. Many short interruptions during BT playback. There's no such issue with other music players, e.g. Pulsar.

2. Large music libraries need scanning of library many times to complete

Great music player so far. Many thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Zzzleepy:
Good day. I would like to request a few features added. A wider screen for the lyrics and make the screen unable to turn off when viewing the lyrics.

And a faster scan for library. Scan for new songs on app launch.

I also found a bug (cannot post screen record, why?) I edited the lyrics, then when playing the song, it just doesn't, and plays the next song. Clicking on it many times doesn't do anything, nor erasing the lyrics again. I have to go to the file manager (MiX) to edit the tags. I can't see where the application log is. Whenever I click the 'Report bugs', MiX says it does not exist.

[Android Apps and Games] soyimparable:
first of all I want to thank you for your work, for me it is the best music player, I only have a request if possible : It would be great if the player or themes section could change the design of the player, I mean you could change the position of the song image, the song name, with one two themes... Thanks :)

Hello, I am near chromecast - Rocket player ads the icon, but Omnia no.

Can you post the screen where exactly is the icon displayed? I do not know what do you mean by "In the toolbar".

Thank you! Roman
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
It is my fault! I forgot to publish the app in Google ChromeCast console! It is in testing mode always. Now it should be OK. Sorry for my mistake.
[Android Apps and Games] rooomish:
Thank you for response. I updated app but still without that icon :(
[Android Apps and Games] techguyone:
It sees only one of my chromecasts (I have 5) , is there some 1 device limit?
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
There is no such limit. Are they under the same WIFI? Guest mode is not supported.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Try again now, with Chromecast device nearby. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] techguyone:
I have a request, currently the notification shows wildly different text colours for each track as it's presumably picking it up from album art. Perhaps we could have an option for simple white or black text (dependant on your notification theme) so it's not quite so garish.
[Android Apps and Games] montajd:
Love this app, but I did find one issue that doesn't exist in others. When I pause the music using my galaxy buds it pauses, but trying to play/resume the music does not. This does work with other players. Any chance you could take a look into it?
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
If you are using new android versions, 7.0 and above, the notification style is controlled by system, or your rom (MIUI, EMUI). My music player will not decorate own notification any more.
[Android Apps and Games] techguyone:
Hrmm must be a pie thing, never noticed it on any media player under Oreo, but you're right it's showing on others too, looks to take the album art and uses the colours to choose the text, that's actually a bit annoying.

Mate 9 EMUI 9
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Sorry I cannot reproduce this problem on my testing device. I think maybe you paused the music for long time, and the system killed the app, then it no longer can receive the resume command.

You can have a test, press play button just after pause button, will the music continue? If not, please tell me the device type and android version.
[Android Apps and Games] montajd:
I haven't paused it and left it alone, I pause the song and one second later try to resume it (using the headphones) and the player doesnt respond, but I can resume it by pressing play on the app. Android 8.1 Pixel 2XL
[Android Apps and Games] rooomish:
Well done! It works now. Thank you :)

BTW what next? What about possibility to play songs randomly - all songs, all songs in folder, all songs according genre, all songs randomly from artist ... etc.

And what would be really cool and extraordinary is to set up automatically different equalizer profile according connected bluetooth device (headphones1, bluetooth speaker1 ...)

But random playing would be great and enough :angel:.

Thank you for your great app!
[Android Apps and Games] montajd:
Next track, previous track and pause work, but not play. It's weird. I've also disabled battery optimization for the app and Bluetooth but still doesn't fix it. The play/pause button functions fine in the Xperia music app and Pulsar however.
[Android Apps and Games] aaquib786:
Sorry if the function is already there but i could not find the option to exclude some media / folder from the list. The only option i am getting is to delete the songs or folder.

If the feature is not already there, could you please add the same

I am using Pulsur at the moment and it is the best player :)
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Please go to settings, library, then you can choose which folder you want to include or exclude.

[Android Apps and Games] acnapyx:
Congrats on the great player, one feature request though. (Haven't read all pages of the thread so not sure if someone already have requested it…)

Coming from Sony Music, there's something I really miss, both in Omnia and Pulsar: an option to sort albums by last played. Neither of current sort options is optimal for a case when the user regularly listens "compilation" albums where the release date can't easily be set without re-tagging all files.

Any chance for this to be implemented in the future?
[Android Apps and Games] baxtex:
I don't know why but Omnia has stopped adding audio files from subfolders?

I have the following structure:

music/audiobools/book1/1.mp3

music/audiobools/book2/1.mp3

If I add the top music folder as my library, nothing is found. But I can add the book2 folder though and it does find the files. Quite annoying if you have many folders though. This worked before so I don't know what's going on.
[Android Apps and Games] EuroMIX2:
Omnia is pretty much the music app I was looking for 2+ years ago. I think the only improvements I'd really like to see is support for Composers, and (perhaps more niche, but I'd use it if more apps supported it) Mood and Occasion tags, all of which with support for appropriate delimiters. Not expecting it of course, but it would be great. It's honestly just great having a music app that actually supports delimiters for artist and genre and looks nice as well.

Modify existing user eq preset

Saving an equalizer preset with the same name of an already existing preset should not create a duplicate as now. It would be better if the pre-existing preset was overwritten after a user confirmation message.

Android auto: browse by Artists Album + Eq

I have just connected Omnia to Android Auto for the first time, so I will be reporting the problems I stumble upon and my suggestions. I have also just started the paid version trial, and trying out the Eq (I don't see the point in adding a reverb to music I listen to)

When browsing the Omnia library from the car's projection screen, I can select browse by Artist *or* by Album. When I browse by Artist and select an Artist, the next level is all the songs of that artist... is it possible to present the Artist's Albums, after selecting an Artist from Android Auto's interface?

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

I have an Eq set in Omnia. I also have an Eq set in my car's audio system. When I use Omnia to listen to music from my phone connected to my car's via Android Auto, I don't want the 2 equalizations to sum up. Can Omnia disable the Eq (maybe optionally) when reproducing via Android Auto?

One thing I could not understand so far: is the audio sent to the car over Bluetooth, when the phone is connected via Android Auto? In this case, Omnia could use an option to disable eq when audio is sent over Bluetooth, or better it could have a separate Eq preset choice for Bluetooth (or even better, but I don't know if it's possible, Omnia could remember an Eq preset for each Bluetooth device :) )

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

I also experience short interruptions every now and then. At first I noticed it when playing over BT, then to an Eq app I was using, but then I also noticed them by just playing over wired headphones with no Eq.

I am not still sure that the case is just this one, but maybe it happens specifically when decoding Opus files > 128kbps
[Android Apps and Games] fomore:
Does it have support for Android Auto? It doesn't connect to me...
[Android Apps and Games] ashus:
Great player! Bought it!

One thing though:

I rip online radio streams to have them offline with me at all times. Streamripper splits the songs automatically when it detects new song title. If the songs are binary cut and stream format is AAC, Omnia can still play them, but can't seek as they are damaged. So far all this is expected behavior. But I have also turned on the option to remember last song position on next launch as there are some DJ mixes 60 minutes long. When I have those AAC in playlist and reopen Omnia, it tries to resume the song for a split second, makes strange sound and skips songs all the way through the playlist. Here I would like the behavior to be: I can't resume this song? OK, start from the beginning of that song.

Does it make sense to you as well?

If so, should I supply you with some tracks that behave like this?
[Android Apps and Games] osahitzelgsngar:
Hey there , been using Pulsar and love it. just found this player and switched to this one.

Just two suggestions I miss in both

1. Option for Crossfade on manual song change

2. Dark UI notification

Except for that it's just perfect
[Android Apps and Games] lokitooxd:
Request :)

Would it be possible to add in OMNIA the option to hide these details?

How has PULSAR, with that would be perfect :o
