Hi!

Actually, it's quite easy to acquire ID3 tags from the current song (MAP_GetId3Tag function) or acquire the tags from any other file (MAP_GetId3TagFile function).

Thanks for the interest in contributing to Nitrogen!

Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] daspost:
Can the resume remember the last 20 or so (only interrupted) songs? I'd like to use Nitrogen for music (when don't care about resume) and podcasts (where resume is critical). If I stop a podcast and try to listen to music for a while, I'll lose my resume (like I do with TCPMP). TCPMP also doubles as my video and youtube player so that also ruins my resumes.

Or maybe it can just remember resume points for the last song AND the last 5 songs over 10 minutes in length or something. Anyone have a better idea how to accomplish this?

Thanks for the great player and for listening to our suggestions.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

I'll surely do that. Thanks.

Filipe.

I've been looking for a finger-friendly gapless-enabled WM player. So far, I'm making due with PocketMusic, though the 'gapless' output isn't perfect.

I'll be giving Nitrogen a try, as I have yet to come across a finger-friendly music app. ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ivo34:
Very good media player,its works very good with my xperia,the sound is good to,easy to use and very fast respods,the sound is very good in the bluetooth headset(HBH-DS205)bot cant be controlled with them,thaks..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BustedNuts1:
I love this app, hands down my favorite mp3 player.

Any idea when the next version will be released? I can't wait, lol.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

I'll surely implement AVCRP support soon!

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

Now, I'm doing a cleanup at the source code, to allow more advanced functions. I'm also working on minor changes, such as kinetic scrolling and file association, which are already ready. I'll do some research on AVCRP and I will improve the playlist management as well.

Thanks, Filipe.

BEST-PLAYER-EVER.

and i've tried them all...

only thing is that is missing is a fast way["one click"you get the idea?] to select a track and play it...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BustedNuts1:
Thank you for all your hard work to continually improve this app. Like I said my favorite one out there, and I've tried almost all of the mp3 players available.

Do you think in any future releases, you'll ever have songs sorted by albums like wmp does? Where you click on the album name, then you see the list of songs? Instead of just creating one big playlist?

I mean it's really no big deal for me as I keep my songs in folders that only contain songs from that album, so each album has it's on folder. I just know a lot of my friends don't use this player because they need that feature (although I keep trying to persuade them to do so).

Either way, I'll always be a loyal user. Keep up the great work.

(I still can't get over how lightweight this app is).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] onurdndar:
Could you change the program to look for skins in the same folder as the .exe first? That'd make Nitrogen more space efficient when burning into a custom ROM. It's simple to change the source code myself but I'd rather not do that every time there's a new release :)

Thank you for your hard work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ivo34:
thanks!I use now nitrogen a lot,very good job,I changed to Black leon skin by emilitingo,is very nice,only the optons there are not easy to see,look very smal
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ivo34:
thanks a lot!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cismconn:
great work Filipe. sounds good, must be a load of new features coming.

AAC support would the winner for me if coming.

RE: album art, did a search but couldn't find anything in the thread..

I've got a good number of albums with art in there but these have been renamed HTC~albumname.jpg presumeably by the HTC Audio program.

Any fix for this you know (HTC registry setting) , or able to get Nitrogen to find these?

thanks. Martin
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] goulniky:
viewing embedded song title?

I really love this tool, works great on my Touch HD, slick and finger friendly u/i.

I'd quite happily uninstall mortplayer if I could get nitrogen to handle text embedded in the mp3 songs. I guess that's the ID3 tag data, but anyway I listen to Chinese language podcasts such as this one, and one thing only the default mortplayer skin seems to support is displaying both file name and title (Chinese encoded in this case) from within the mp3 file.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sranki:
I want to know why the setting return back to default but not my last I set i.e. repeat and random function every time I need to press again due to automatically off on next time open the player ?

Could it set to go on to play the song even in sleep mode to press the power button on machine since it is a touch button

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] unga89:
microfi will a better shuffle system be inclued in next relase??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

I'll implement that on the next release, allowing the menu to pop-up only if you perform a long-tap (or something else if I have a better idea).

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

I'm improving the Nitrogen playlist file extension (*.npl) to allow the user to create custom playlists based on their albums, and even import/export M3U files. However, it might not come right on 0.3.3 because more urgent features are being added by now.

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

I'll include that if Nitrogen fails to load the skins on the default dir. Also, I think it would be nice to allow the player to search somewhere else too (if the user wants to add other skins - maybe a folder specified on the registry).

Anyway, I'll think on that.

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

I'm afraid Nitrogen won't recognize these album art files. Currently, it only opens the "Folder.jpg" image on the folder. Soon, with ID3 tag support, I'll add the functionality to load the "hTC~albumname.jpg" files, which is important on folders with music from different albums.

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

ID3 tag support will come soon!

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

Currently, the state of these functions are not saved when you restart Nitrogen. I'll make them "saveable" on a soon release.

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

The skins for your resolution are called "320x320 skins", because your screen is square.

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

I'm working on a better shuffle system, so that all songs are played before it starts repeating.

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lastnikita:
cool ! don't forget the menu organisation I mentionned, it could give you ideas :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] unga89:
iupppiii

gonna be the best player ever!

ops

it's already the best :cool:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] czatts01:
Custom Playlists?

Great player...

Before I ask how to do it, i guess i should ask if it can be done...

Is there a way to save a playlist after adding songs to it? I've search through this thread and I can't find an answer. OK, if there is a way to save a playlist, I can't figure it out. I'll keep poking around and see if i can accidentally find it.

Thanks for the app.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BustedNuts1:
Thank you so much! I understand there are things more important to you right now, keep up the great work.

I can't get over how lightweight and fast this is, as well as being the most finger friendly and attractive player out there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kevlah:
There is a problem with the Diamond Audio lag that affects all 3rd party audio players on a number of HTC devices (mainly new ones so I'm not sure if this is the same with Wing/Herald) and is discussed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=492312 and there has been research from some others where you can find some more comments here: http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=3605
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] great:
excellent player, just installed it for the first time and the song is playing ok but i don't see the tag info from the mp3 displayed on the screen. It just shows the filename and no artist or song title.

The file has mp3 tag (v1 and v2) and its displayed perfectly on windows.

am i missing something obvious here ?

edit: ok i read the previous page and i realize that it doesn't support mp3tags..i didn't see that coming!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ruebyi:
THANKS great work since the first release!

the only thing I miss with this Player is a *asx support, so I could load my synchronized playlsits! Is this planned? or only m3u?

ruebyi
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kevlah:
MP3 tags haven't been implemented. Names are picked up from the filename formated like this: "<artist> - <song title>.mp3". I'm hoping MP3 tags are used in future releases.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ruebyi:
Has the development stopped?

ruebyi
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] HertogJanNL:
I hope they aren't used. I'm not actively tagging my MP3s, so just using the filename is the best option for me! Same goes for playlists, I make them on my phone, I won't synchronize them through ActiveSync. And the same goes for Album art, I don't like that, since I sort my music in genres, not albums.

That's why I love Nitrogen :) I'm looking forward to any new versions!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BustedNuts1:
Yeah I like mp3 tags. I'd rather it sort by albums, and I think most people would rather it be this way. I'd give first priority to mp3 tags, but then maybe this option could be enabled/disabled by the user?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] babydown:
Why do Nitrogen not support wma ?????
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Gandhi70:
who cares for wma? it supports ogg.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] STM123:
Developer

Please add option to continue play mp3 file from last position.

This will be very-very usefull for audio-books.

If you can implement this feature for last 100 (for example) files it will be great!

Kind Regards!

Hey man!

Its possible include phone control in the player??

i try to skip music, play and pause with my ad2p phone but isnt work.

Saudacoes Brasileiras!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kevlah:
The wheel is still there just some skinners have not included it. You need to load a skin that has the wheel or create one if there isn't one for your resolution.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

Currently it's not possible, but as I'm improving 0.3.3, it may come soon!

Thanks, Filipe
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

Currently Nitrogen has no ID3 tag support, but I'm studying the MAP functions so it might be available soon!

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

I'm figuring out the M3U file structure by now because it's the most widely used playlist format. But I may work on ASX too on a future release.

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Not at all! Nitrogen is up and working and soon there will be a new release with a lot of new features and bugfixes. The bad thing is that now I'm having a lot of things to do at work...

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

I'll make an option to switch among ID3 or the current naming system.

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Because it uses the libmad and libovd decoders, that support MP3 and OGG files, respectively. Soon I'll investigate other libs as fmod and maybe WMA will also be supported.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

I'll include an option to remember the last playback position of the last track, but I don't know if I'll make this option for other files.

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

It's likely that you need a skin that fits your screen. Please make a search on the skins page (link on the first post).

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

The default skin has no wheel, but you can download many skins that have one, such as the ManillaLike or the default for 0.3.1, on the skins page.

Thanks, Filipe.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jambaj0e:
Does anyone know how much memory this takes compared to Pocket Player. I love Pocket Player, but on my HTC Vogue, it tends to shut down from time to time when I'm running it concurrently with iGo8.

Man, I can't wait for Nitrogen to have Stereo Bluetooth support!

Hey guys, repeat mode doesn't seen to work?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sabesh:
Glad to be of help! Great app, now using it for MP3s.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Microfi I suggest that you use ffmpeg...many mobile applications like google's youtube application use it. It supports mp3, aac, ogg and wma. It can read all tag data types id3, vorbis comments, mp4 metadata etc. FFMPEG has a lot of documentation available and exists for ARM as is. For the backend you might use sqlce or sqlite...I have no idea which is lighter.

Also for the scrollable list display you might wanna consider looking into the iContact code which has support for animation skins etc and is being used by the iApp guys to build similar applications.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fabric0004:
Looks good thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chronster:
Been playing with this and I like that someone's finally making a finger friendly media player.

Here's a few things to tell you:

1. My shuffle doesn't work. Whether shuffle is on or off, it's doing nothing on mine.

2. The next song doesn't automatically advance upon the ending on the initial song. I'm supposed to hit the next button every time a song is done?

3. I like the idea of being able to simply select the next song instead of playing it. It seems like it allows you to look for the next song without interrupting what's playing, BUT, is there a button you could add to toggle this on or off right from the main screen? It's a great idea, but being able to go to the next song right away is good too. I'd like both within easy access.

4. When browsing for files to add to the play list, I'd like to simply be able to select and hold a folder to bring up the menu to add the folder and it's sub folders to the play list. Currently I have to find an mp3 and select everything around it to get the menu and action I want.

5. The settings window needs to include a checkbox saying "Associate with .mp3 files.

Other than that, the finger friendliness of this app will someday have me using it more than coreplayer, but until you can get shuffle to work, I won't use it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Minipli:
The player doesn't remind the position you stopped after sleep mode has closed the application. Is there a way to change this?

Font problem in Nitrogen

Hi,

thanx for this excellent player, nevertheless I have one little problem. I did not change any fonts on my XDA with WM6.0, but when I use Nitrogen with any skin the fonts look really blocky and are not really readable. I tried activating Cleartype but it does not help.

Anything I can do to get this going?

Hello

im trying nitrogen in the moment ...

i have a big folder with perhaps 300 songs on my sdcard ... how has to be the name of the coverfiles for the single songs ?

Sorry for my bad english
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BDWN:
So you'll need to have separate folders for each album if you want to use albumart for every single track. I hope someday Nitrogen will be able to get the albumart from the metadata of an mp3, but you'll have to stick with folder.jpg's for now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] snoopy20:
Bluetooth doesn't work. It's opening the correct output driver but will not detect when bluetooth has engaged. It should re-open the output buffer once detection is made. Otherwise it

a) keeps playing but no sound to either device

b) when bluetooth disengaged it stops playing and program fails.

I've seen exactly the same problem on PocketPlayer. Mortplayer has it working pretty well, though WMPlayer still does it perfectly.

Wow, I can't believe I didn't try this one earlier! It looks great (I've used GSPlayer for years because of the solid file support, but I always hated its plain look). This looks great and supports OGG, which I'm going to convert my FLAC library to for my PDA (FLAC is great for big HDD, not so much for PDA). I just need to figure out how to get album art, I use Songbird to manage my FLAC library (cause nothing else supports FLAC...) but I don't know where it stores album art.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sithlord:
Yep, I second that too about WMA ! What's the point in supporting a useless mono-platform, fully proprietary format instead of a patent free, multi-platform format such as OGG?

I didn't gave attention to Nitrogen until it supported OGG... MP3 is a thing from the past (from a quality point of view and I know what I talking about on sound spectrum analysis) and WMA (as well as WMV for video) is just a stupid way to lock people inside useless proprietary technology and fill it up with DRM.

Ask all these customers about their opinion on DRMs after they dearly paid for music that now is just a piece of random crap data file on their harddrives.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] quicksite:
hi microfi, hah hah, you just answered my question!

This is great news. I was just about to post asking if you were still developing it. When I was using it about 6 months ago, it had the best functional design of all mp3 apps... but the processor chugging and breaks in play-continuity when opening other apps made it impossible to enjoy. I actually just purchased a month ago, PocketPlayer, simply because audiomanager is not good enough, wmp is a joke, s2p lacks too many features.

So I will be happy to try your next version up against Pocket Player... If it's better, no question I will dump pocket player even though I've bought it.

So, here's for setting the bar high :)

thanks for all your development work on this.
