Hi dude!

I didn't know about the CUE files. After doing some research, I figured out that it would be nice to add support for them, specially with long MP3 files. I'll see what I can do in the future versions.

Thanks for your support, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] !Kernel Panic!:
nice app...does this look at sub-directories within the music folder when playing or do you have to have all your songs in 1 folder?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] alireza_simkesh:
thx buddy...looking forward to it;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Currently, Nitrogen assumes a directory as a playlist, so it does not look into the subdirectories automatically. Maybe in further releases I'll include an option to search in subdirectories.

Thanks for the interest, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Section9:
Hi Microfi, I have these questions, hope that you can help answer them:

1. Can 'Nitrogen' play all mp3 that are stored under

a

folder ?

2. Can 'Nitrogen' support HTC Wired Remote Control (E100) eg, functions like forward, reverse, play and pause, volume up and down?

Thanks Microfi.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] character:
this is awesome ...

and could be more perfect if you can add podcast:) support

though I know it could be just a dream for me:)

NIce JOB
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cirial:
Awesome, thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Zaiaku:
OK I only have 2 things I can think of about this that I need. One is definitely VGA support since I have a Raphael. And the ability to just play files from a selected folder instead of having to only use playlist or choosing files.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] !Kernel Panic!:
you can play songs from a selected folder....highlight the folder you want to play and select 'OK' @ bottom right and it will play all songs in selected folder...but not if they are in sub-folders within selected folder.

Hope that didn't sound too confusing.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] S.V.I:
wow thanks for the app. I love the interface. very intuitive (ipod-like)

I have a few questions:

1. when using BT headphones the sound only comes out of the right chanel. How can I fix that?

2.FFWD BKWD controls are the same as the wheel is that intended? I would have assumed the wheel to work like a progress bar or volume (but you have volume buttons right beside it)

3.Can I use reshacker to change the gfx for this thing to be greyscale/black?

(I also think that when you make this thing skinable it should still have it's gfx within the exe.. less files for the device to handle if the default skin works.. less fragmentation also)

I am using a WIZARD 200mhz cpu and very little storage space.

I realy love the interface idea! simple and no nonsense. very good work. (just how do I get my headphones to work so that I don't endup using wmp?)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mort:
MAD itself can't play other files. However, if you use the code from GSPlayer, you can simply use the "wrapper" used there, which includes Tremor (Ogg Vorbis) and a plugin system (there are plugins for WMA, AAC/MP4, MIDI, and several MOD types).

Maybe you can also borrow something from my MortPlayer, esp. regarding the skinning. I'll check in the lastest changes (there were some improvements for the recent betas, which I didn't commit so far...) during the next days... And if you get a good equalizer working (maybe even for other files than MP3), I'd like to borrow that back... ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Leonick:
seems real nice. though i wont try it until it have landscape support :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

!. In the "playlist browser", you can choose a folder and Nitrogen will retrieve all MP3 files stored on it to build a playlist of the folder. You can browse among the songs using the wheel, the next/previous button or you can either go back to the playlist browser and choose the file you want by there.

2. As the device keys UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT/CENTER are mapped by Nitrogen to do functions such as changing volume and browsing songs, you can try to use them with the remote control. However, I can't provide more details because I don't have an accessory like that to test on my device.

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

By now, I'm working on skin support. Maybe in future releases, when I'm not so busy, I'll do some work with the streaming capabilities of MAD.

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi! Thanks for the feedback and suggestions! I'll surely work on them, specially on the configurable playlists.

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

After you run the player, you'll need to click on the playlist button (upper-right button) or select "Options>Media browser". There you can add songs and create playlists.

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

I'll surely implement AVRCP support soon, as many users have been requesting for this.

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

I'll do some research on that, starting by the links you provided, but I don't think it will be available soon, as there are more urgent features that Nitrogen still needs.

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

Thanks! In a soon version I'll add multilanguage support and Portuguese will be firstly implemented!

Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Omarino78:
Hi Filipe.

If you need, I can translate it in italian language.

Send me the file to translate...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rxmeister:
Hey, dude, what about MS Smartphone support? Are you planning to add it?

As I found out, everything seems to be ok except key bindings...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kostia:
no skins yet for 320x320?

new nitrogen is good but i can't use it good on samsung i780!

random isn't working well, i use playlist, if i exit from nitrogen and the re-enter again it plays the same exact sequence of random songs!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bennyj71:
Thanks for the skin. I'm loving the app.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mithritades:
i tried but it won't add anything to the playlist,i think i'll stick with s2p for now...thanks for the advise anyway
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
I would agree and add a theme for us user who slide their keyboards out. Cause when I slide the keyboard the theme starts to work wrong as it no designed for landscape mode(?).....thankies
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chandramuralis:
Not able to exit from playlist mode

First I should Thank you a lot for this wonderful, finger friendly, mobile friendly, low memory application!

After installing your player I didn't used WMP once. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I've very minor suggestion:-

I'm not able to exit from the playlist menu and I found that you are already working on that! Without this option I cannot use this player right now...... :(I'm very much worried about this! and I've to back to old version and I don't have any other choice! :eek:

Once again thanks for your hard work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hipey:
Hello. I have quick read through the thread. But I still do not understand how to change the album in the player :o
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Lazy79:
great player, i am impressed. apptodate support would be very nice.. ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bsw11:
Player is now really usable - great update!!

One suggestion - instead of always popping a menu from a folder or playlist, a single tap should just play the file and if from a folder, auto-add to the playlist. (this can all be on an option), a tap and hold can bring up the menu.

Most of the time I just want to play a song, so this creates extra taps. Also on the folder menu, you should have a Play choice.

On both menu's the play choice should be pre-highlighted so if using the dpad its just 2 clicks to play.

Great job man!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Lord_BlackAdder:
Just 2 suggestions:

1. Support WMA playback

2. Support display of the lyrics, like the MiniLyrics for Windows Mobile at: http://www.crintsoft.com/index.htm
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] michaelphan:
awesomw proggie, so sad such an excellent app doesn't support wma!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Soul_Est:
I just tried out the latest version of your great program. It looks wonderful and it performs well until I get around to actually playing anything. I'm not sure what the problem is unfortunately, it's just that when I try to play anything the program exits. I'll check out v3.1 and post my findings. Keep moving forward! It's because of developers like you that many of us can do what we do with our PocketPC phones!

Any Chance of a Last.FM plugin? or Last.FM Scrobbling support?

If you don't know what lastFM is, http://www.last.fm
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

Actually, those who translate Nitrogen have to download the source and recompile the player with the strings changed. If it's not a major necessity for you, I don't advise to do this, because new releases will come soon and multilanguage support, in a separate file, will be there.

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

I've never seen how it behaves on smartphones. I'll take a look, and if it's easy to port, I'll surely release a smartphone version soon!

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

Concerning the skins, you may have to wait a little or design your own skins. The exact sequence of the shuffle really impressed me, as I use the C's rand function, which I've been searching about and I found it to be "obsolete, unsafe and predictable".

I'll look for another random function, then!

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

I'll improve the skin selector to automatically change the skin if you switch to landscape mode.

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

I'll add a "Back to the player" option in 0.3.3.

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
On the main screen:

Click on the "Options" softkey, and select "Media browser".

OR Click on the "Media browser" button of the main skin (if you use it) (first attached picture).

Now, you'll be taken to a file explorer. Enter the folders by tapping on them and click on a song file. You can scroll up or down by sliding your finger vertically or using the right-side scrollbar.

Once you select a song file, a context-menu will appear and you may "Add file to playlist", "Add folder to playlist" or "Add selection to playlist".

After you select one of these, you'll be prompted if you want to play the file.

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

I'll see what I can do about AppToDate.

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

I'll improve the playlist management for 0.3.3, making it simpler and faster, but yet fullfilled with features.

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

I have to investigate how the programs that stream music from LastFM work. Also, I have to see the extension of the songs that are streamed and if they require some kind of login, etc..

I don't think it will come soon, but I may work on that.

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Aegishua:
Ahh, i dont think its that hard but there are a couple of programs that scrobble to Last.FM but i don't think they are open source. if you find the creater of one such as Audioscrobbler or the Conduits Pocket Player plugin for Last.FM it would be easy. Also you could always just ask LastFM lol.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xdawantabe:
I am hoping some of you more talented users will make some 320x320 skins for the 0.3+ edition...

On side note:

Will the qvga skin work on a 320x320 but just not fill the screen or will it be too buggered up?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BDWN:
It will just not fit, you can use them but you won't be able to use the lower pixels of the skin. I'll try and see if I can make a simple 320x320 skin for all you 320-ers :eek: . Any preference, just simple play pause buttons or a wheel with which you can scroll through your playlist (much like an ipod)? If you don't know what I'm talking about, compare skins with a wheel and ones without.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vigin:
I had a weird issue at start on my tilt. At first I tried to install v0.3.2 but it just was not possible. Then I tried with previous version, and it was a normal, then I upgraded to v.3.2 and it was a success...

the player itself is very good, I'm enjoying it :)

thanx a lot for development!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rxmeister:
Hmm, I saw a bit strange thing - although setting adequate registry entries, playing on HTC TyTN is muted after device's power button pressing even if I use headphones.

Switching to Nitrogen everytime I want to turn off device is a bit confusing...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xdawantabe:
Your skins look very nice... my personal preference is leaning toward the ManilaLike skin in 320x320... Thank you for offering to create skins in this format.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Soul_Est:
I've just tried out v3.1 of Nitrogen and it works beautifully except for the switching between the Media Browser/Playlist and the player itself. When I try doing so by hitting the X button it closes the entire player down. The music plays unlike v3.2 but I can't get back to the main player like in v3.2. The only work around I can come up with is to use QuickMenu to switch back to the main player once I'm done setting up the playlist.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BDWN:
That issue has been discussed a few times already, it's because your (and mine also, have this issue too ;) ) x-button is set to close the app. And I use something like you for a workaround, you can also make a shortcut int he Start Menu and use that to get back, although tbh, I think this issue will be fixed fairly soon.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Imanoltxo:
Two things I want to know please.

Hi. I have used the program and it seems to me fabulous. But i want to know if I can that when i open the program, the song is in the same position that when I closed the program.Regards and thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Soul_Est:
Thanks for the reply BDWN. I replied a little too quickly on this matter. Thanks for the suggestion and I trust this issue will be resolved as well.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] S.V.I:
a2dp FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOHOOO!

I can finally enjoy this player and it's low ram consumption! this is the greatest thing ever! quite exciting

THANK YOU!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Imanoltxo:
Resume.

Hi Microfi.

Seriously this incredible program can't resume the mp3 (songs, podcast) ?.

Maybe I can't found this option?.

Regards.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] .wojtek:
I believe, that question was about scrobbling, not streaming (but that would also be great, but probably require more work). About submitting playback information: http://www.last.fm/api/submissions, with some nice caching of data if there isn't any internet connection and submitting from cache when one connects to internet would be more that briliant! (:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] HertogJanNL:
I really like this player! I organize my music in folders, not necessarily by album, so it is great to finally create playlists myself! I've un-installed S2P after trying 0.3.2.

Thanks and keep up the good work!

AppToDate would be great :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bouloama:
Its a really nice player... but i've just upgraded from v0.21 to 0.32

Now with the new media library function.. its difficult to add a song from the library.. instant to get played... you first need to add the song to a playlist and then play the playlist...

It isn't instant play and go anymore. Is it just me.. or am i doing something wrong?!

[edit]Developer reported to make a huge imporvement in version 0.33... NICE![/edit]
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kirdim71:
Nice work with player. But i think the responce is slow when you try to change song (change playing songs... disabled) and after few changes the program freeze. I must press exit and the open nitrogen again. I have an HTC hd. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bulloc:
not able to see text

i downloaded and installed the cab for WM6 on my diamond. i'm not able to see any text everything looks kinda like "[]" boxes. any help?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

What happened when you installed 0.3.2 on the first time? Didn't it even install?

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

I'm still working on an elegant fix for that. Also, I've found out that some have to change more wav1: registry entries (under "Suspended" and under other keys).

I don't know the side effects of this tweak. It might drain your battery or start new glitches, so use it at your own risk!

Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
This feature will be coming soon! On 0.3.3 it might be there already!

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

It would be interesting if you could provide info such as CPU usage or RAM usage - these are the most common causes of freezing. Do your songs have album art cover? Are you using the wheel?

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

What is your device's language? Are you seeing "[]" even in the menus and lists?

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

my device language is English. i'm seeing it even with the menus and lists.

thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vigin:
Nope, no location choice memory/storage card, it was no go, just a "...unsuccessful" message
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] microfi:
Hi!

I'll investigate what is the probable cause of this. Anyway, watch for updates!

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

I'll see if it's device-dependant, or if it's a glitch of the program.

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] maurin3do:
great pice of soft dude

i really like your program dude

im making a skin 2 :cool:

dont know if athers hav say it but can u put a vizualization

to replayce album foto when there is no album foto or a full screan that will be great.

""and changebell or eaven if it can be moded from user a litle script like winamp vizualixations"" damit :p 2 much request :D

thansk again u are the best.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] monarols:
Hi Fillipe. As a request maybe for future builds, is it possible to have an "auto display off" function, say 10 secs in addition to manual display turn off? Also can the wake up key, after using the manual display off touch command, be programmed to use the hard "end" key instead of the power button, which on my phone is small and indented and can be difficult to use. Samsung i900 Omnia.

Thanks Chris
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shuhail:
hi

nice player but now i am facing a problem

when i change songs continuosly in stop mode some times it gets hang and i hve to exit nitrogen (sometimes whole system hang)

i think this is because it takes up full ram at a sudden......:eek:

i hve imate jama (samsung processor 64 mb ram...........):cool:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shakeandbake:
Hi microfi.

First of all I really like your program. I am using it a lot lately and a have no real issues (bugs, crashes etc.), but I only miss one feature. And that is repeat song. I don't see anyone mentioned that. Any chance of doing it?

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

By now, I'll work on more urgent features, and maybe later I'll think about visualizations.

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

On the next release, I'll improve the display switch functionality, maybe allowing to assign a hardware key for it, as you said, and implement a timeout for blanking screen.

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

Are you using album art files? How many files are there on your playlist? How many files can you browse before the device starts glitching?

Anyway, I'll search the source for any bugs that may be causing this.

EDIT: Also, if you have time, please try to change songs with 0.3.1, which has no album art support, and let me know if it works!

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

On the older versions of Nitrogen (0.2.1), the "Repeat" mode did exactly that. As many users have been requesting to repeat the whole playlist, I changed the button functionality to do that. Now, I'll improve the repeat button and implement both functions on it.

Thanks, Filipe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lastnikita:
Hi filipe, if you do this please consider that many users will want the phone locked with screen blanked, so that it can be put in a pocket :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] _quick_:
There is no need of scrobbling programs source.

Last.fm API is simple and clear to understand (programmers may take a look http://www.lastfm.ru/api/submissions). But besides of actually submitting there is a feature required for comfort scrobbling: caching tracks for later submitting (you don't have to be online and waste battery all the time). To avoid this problems one can use third-side application like pocket scrobbler http://www.lastfm.ru/group/Pocket+Scrobbler. API and caching is already implemented and even more features are available. The only thing that developer of player application has to do is changing some registry entries on "change track" and "change track position" events.

To be more precise (quoted from pocket scrobbler wiki page):

1. Every time the track played in your application changes:

1.1. open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\MediaPlayer

1.2. set the following (string/dword) values

1.2.1. Title - the track title

1.2.2. WM/OriginalArtist - name of the artist

1.2.3. WM/AlbumTitle - name of album

1.2.4. TotalDuration - track length in milliseconds

1.2.5. Elapsed - elapsed time in milliseconds

2. Every time the track's playback position changes:

2.1. open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\MediaPlayer

2.2. update the "Elapsed" value

This isn't some kind of "hand made" trick, it is using official windows mobile State Notification API.

Microfi I don't want you to be bored by me, as i am posting here with same problem again :)

I am a programmer myself and i am ready to make a contribution to the Nitrogen project and add Pocket Scrobbler support. I have already looked through the sources and have a clue what needs to be done, but i haven't seen anything about mp3 tags in code. Is there any facility capturing "Artist", "Album Title", "Track title" tags from currently playing song?

If not this is the first thing to implement. After that it would be relatively easy to make changes i wrote above.
