I know you've probably got a lot on your hands putting your own stamp on Barguast's previous work and adding the features you want to implement yourself, but...

..and it's a big ask... and quite possibly impossible...

... could this be made into a Manilla tab? I don't store music on my storage card so the Manilla music tab is of no use to me whatsoever, but replacing it with a GrooveMobile tab would be veeeerrryyy useful!

Probably pie-in-the-sky, but if you don't ask...

-FM

P.S. Working fine on my device, so glad to have 'GrooveFish' back...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Would be a nice idea, but I do not think that will be possible :D.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
During search, it's reporting the .NET error:

"The magic number in GZip header is not correct. Make sure you are passing in a GZip stream."

Any thoughts?

Also posted question at Scilor's board here.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
@thesecondsfade we are already talking about your problem in my forums :)

@all

I have just implemented a (local) playlist feature. You can now click together some playlists :). Just wait a little bit, I want to have it stable and good looking :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
@Scilor- sweet. I am waiting.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Now I am testing the local playlist feature with auto save/load. So you always have your playlist on the go that you have clicked together once :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acidbath5546:
Nice, that is a really awesome feature :)

Good stuff as always man.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fceeviper:
Awesome, I can't wait to try this out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] likeminas:
Thanks for fixing this great app Scilor.

Looking forward to seeing more of your awesome work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
I have got my "local" save/load playlist features working :). I will release it this evening!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:

Alpha v3(2010-03-09)

-Enhancement: Added continuous play ;)

-Enhancement: Added (local) playlists that are saved on exit and loaded on startup, and playlists that you can load and save yourself :)

-Enhancement: Last search is remembered and loaded on startup :)

-Enhancement: Updated Bass.

-Enhancement: SciLor's UpdateChecker(Please do not check once a minute!).

-Change/Enhancement: Reordered the Menu, ask on exit

Do not forget feedback!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wraypa1:

Cheers SciLor. This is great - time to get get a bigger data package!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Do not get it to early :D I am planning to add a data cache, so for example 50MB of music can be cached on your storage card :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
I got this app working with a GZip fix Scilor provided for me. So far the program is flawless and amazing.

Feature requests:

If a song fails to start, try again. If it fails again, move to the next song on the playlist.

Add ability for program to recognize the phone's download speed and pause playback at the beginning of a new new song until it's buffered enough to not stop halfway through a song.

Add option of repeating the playlist after it's done.

Display album title.

Add option to sort by album, then by track number within each album.

Add the ability to add an entire album to playlist in one tap instead of adding each song individually. Maybe with a long tap or something.

In search results, it shows a box when you tap a song to add it to the playlist. It should remove the most recent instance of that song from the playlist on a double tap. One tap = add song. Double tap = remove song.

Start caching the next song as soon as the current song is done caching. This will help with lag at the beginning of songs when connections are not super stable.

I'm sure I'll think of more and I'll add them here when I do.

Great job SciLor!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mahender:
hi scilor, i cant beleive what you have done with this in sucha short time.it totally rocks.

my question how ever is diffferent . on your screenshot do you have tabs in the top? if so could you tell me how please.

thanks...

mahender
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] meromero0526:
Like Macho Man would say "Oh Yeahhhhh!" Great work and you are not even done yet! Simply genius!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fceeviper:
Working pretty good so far.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
I ride the short bus with the dark windows.

I hate to sound like a real lamebrain. But I am having a hard time figuring out what the heck I am doing with the new UI.

1. Search for songs.

2. Then what?

I messed around with it- but not very successfully. Sorry. But could you give me the "play by play".

thanks.

****EDIT****

I got it figured out. SO forget the play by play.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] likeminas:
Wow. That's very nice Scilor. I really like the improvements you've made to it.

I was also checking your other apps and the GrooveDownloader WM seems like a really cool project.

The problem is that the .exe file is crashing when I launch it.

Thanks for the quick response, and keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] txlatino1983:
Hey Scilor, thanks for the nice app. Is there anyway to download song thou?

I tried Nanogroove trial for some days. On their app when you play a song it saves a groovy.mp3 file onto the memory card which you can then rename with actual song name to save and so on with next song..

Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Hey, just visit my website, and try my downloader. It is very buggy. But in the future both programs will be combined, so SciLor's GrooveMobile will be able to cache songs etc.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] txlatino1983:
Thanks.

I downloaded file but it will not let me open zipped folder.

Release of SciLor's GrooveMobile Alpha v11

Alpha v11(2010-06-01)

-Fix: Crash on broken settings file

-Enhancement/Fix: Using "country/cowbell" variable. May fix wrong songs in search (please report if it is working!)

-New: Visit SciLor's Website (Usefull on updates!)

Download: http://www.scilor.com/groovemobile.html
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joe_coolish:
downloading right now! I'm excited!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
thank you for updating the program :) What predictions are you looking for in the next version meaning you already stated that from this point on its going to change in UI, what stuff in V12 do you think we will see, that will change the game? Will Cacheing make a introduction or will the big file problem be one of the first to be tackled? Besides that I appreciate like all the others all the time you put into this program. I use it daily if not all the time :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Due to I rework everything from the ground(New codebase), everything should be tackeled :D

New GUI, Caching, Big Songs :D

Keep enjoying!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
so pretty much buracast version will be no more and this new one will be fully sourced from you? Id take big song fix anytime, hate when you leave music on and get that dumb failed song message. I know I could dig around and remember who is what but who wants to do that :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
V11 fixed the wrong song/search function. Working beatiful as ever.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Thank you for your reply :)

I hoped so, nice for your confirmation!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
REQUEST

Hello Scilor - thanks for v.11.

May I make a request for v.12? When you search for a song - could it be moved to the top of the playlist instead of the bottom? To me that makes more sense since the song you just searched for you are going to want to play it.

thanks if you can. thanks no matter what - for the great app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
Actually, I think what would make more sense is an option to "queue at end of current playlist" (if you're currently playing songs), or "queue next in playlist". I, personally, like to be able to add newly found songs to the end of the playlist to have continuous playback. Of course, an option for Random or "Shuffle" playback would definitely be a plus.

Great work on this so far, scilor! My wife loves it :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
There is a random option.

BTW Scilor...v11 is working great!!! Keep up the great work. Can't wait for the new UI!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
Never thought of it that way. Good point. if you are listening and searching you would want your songs at the end. But if you are searching and then listening you would want them at the beginning. true.

And not sure if I understood you, but the "Random" option already exists.

Options\Options\Song Playing\Random Play
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
DOH!!

Yes, you understood. I'm just a dunce :eek:.

im sorry I couldnt show my errros there too long to type lol, but I going to wait to V12 since your somewhat done it. How has the progress gone? Is it almost done?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Thank you, I will fix that soon.

Alpha v12 will just fix the bug mentioned above.

Currently I rewrite my SciLor's Wifi Penetrate. After that I will focus on SciLor's GrooveMobile again ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
great, hopefully your 12 is the prob to my issue hope you post soon :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] martyxng:
Great program Scilor! I use it all the time. Keep up the good work! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
will this make it harder to get the app to work in future when it breaks? http://www.marketwatch.com/story/on...er-experience-2010-06-14?reflink=MW_news_stmp

also do you have any plans to do a beta of this in Android one day soon :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Enjoy :)

I will do my best, when the new version of SciLor's Wifi Penetrate is ready

I don't think that it will get harder due to that :), this will just play a role in the back of grooveshark.

Coding for Android I never did. I may play around a bit soon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
yea from what I hear android seems to be what windows mobile is as in you still get this kind of freedom and I think is open sourced if I read right. Just be cool to see this come to android one day as a beta of course ;)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phenomenon:
any fix to combine the downloader and groovemobile yet? what about the album art?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Thats enough, (Just make a screenshot next time ;) )

When that error happens? Try to completely remove the SciLor's GrooveMobile folder.

It is planned. Album Art will be skipped till I have the new GUI ready ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
Hey I deleted the folder and it worked! thank you, I wonder how that happened? I just do what you say when you release and install new updates on top of each other. What do you have coming up for next release, do you think your fix the big song problem or do you think cacheing will be coming soon?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
You just broken one of the config files I think, or it was bugged from an older version of my software. If everything is ok, updating should continue working fine.

The next release will be a completely new piece of software and should overcome all previous problems. But it may take some time!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thebrenda:
First - I went to Scilor web site and registered for the support forums, but never got the confirmation email. So I will ask my question here.

Is there a guide or some notes on how to use it? I have used for awhile but it is difficult to create the playlist.

1) want to do a new Search to create a new playlist. But there are already Search results and with playlist selections from a previous search. How do I clear the previous Search results?

2) While selecting songs for a playlist , if I select the wrong song, how do I unselect it?

Thanks and I do love the software.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
You must have used a wrong email, but first of all retry sending the confirmation mail on the forums. Please give me your username and your right e-mail.

1) You can clear it in the menu (Options->Playlist->Clear)

2) Just go to the playlist and tap the big X at the side.

Enjoy :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
I got a new one for you, my playlist songs all got deleated, how about a way to upload a playlist on phone to grooveshark? think its possable ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
I have changed the playlist format. You may try to rescue them by using a version that includes the playlist updater (which is a bit buggy). Just check the changelog for that.

Uploading to grooveshark is theoreticly possible. I will include that in the new GUI.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
Just wondering - will using your old playlist cause problems? Should I start from scratch?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
It may cause problems, I had some (Just delete your playlists, if they make GrooveMobile crash). I just created new playlists :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mazzarin:
So what's going on with the new GUI anyways? Will it finally kill my enemy in your app, the dang keyboard popping up? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
im just happy to see some of the spoilers we all been talking about. I hope 13 is out soon! :P

Appreciate your work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
popular works great. I just can't wait to cache and big song part is fixed :) Hey even a sleep timer would be easy to make later on too :)

forgot to mention The most important or would be useful to all is a skip button next to pause and play to skip to next song if you dont want to hear next song.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
thanks for your continued efforts. getting better and better all the time. I like the new "popular" function and some of the visual changes.

Hows 14 coming along, any big features planed on next release?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quickstang:
I was wondering if someone could help me out here with the the program not working.

I've loaded v13 (I have NET 3.5) and when I click a song I get a gray square box at the end of the song. Almost like it wants to check mark it but it doesn't.

I hit Play, and nothing plays. I've tried this with a bunch of songs and it just wont play. Almost like the play button doesn't function.

There seems to be no errors in the log either.

I've tried deleting the folder after previous versions as well and done a clean install but still no luck.

Any thoughts? I'm running a TP2 with the stock ROM.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Currently nothing new, just be patient

You are just adding the songs to your playlist. You must slide over to it, like it is described on the screen when the search is empty ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quickstang:
Ah Ha... You are correct. :)

I thought you could just play a song from the search as well. Sliding over to the playlist did seem to fix the problem.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zinger0:
Volume control

First of all, thanks for the program, it makes life much easier!

I was wondering, do you plan to implement a volume control in the next release?

With bare system volume control it's impossible to get an optimal volume level, as there are only 5 positions to choose from. Also, in my case even the quietest level produces a rather loud output, so I'd really appreciate an opportunity to muffle it a bit.

And it'd be more convenient to change the volume using hardware buttons while the display is switched off, rather then switching it on and moving the sliders.

Probably someone asked that before, but the search yielded nothing, so, please direct me to an answer if it had already been provided.

Thanks again and keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
just checking in how is 14 coming along. Anything to look foreward too :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Currently I do not know any easy way to implement a volume slider, but I will put it onto my todo list :).

Just did nothing ;) No time currently, it is hot up here and I currently focus on iPhone/iPod Touch development, or better to say I will code and publish my first app for that (Nearly ready). If there is something new, you will see it on my news page or my twitter feed ;) http://twitter.com/SciLor
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
will there be any possablity your do a android app of this one day?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
If I start developing for Android one day, yes. But currently I am just learning Objective C for my iPod Touch(Maybe I can get SciLor's GrooveMobile ported ;)). If I own an Android device one day you may see SciLor's GrooveMobile for Android.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
just was curious in your direction in coding. Android just sounded like your type of thing open sourced and the new up and coming thing, unlike apple with there you need permission to install apps thing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
I will mainly develop for jailbroken Devices first and releasing it on Cydia, keeping it free of cause.

I may also try to publish my Apps in the AppStore, but I think I will make 2 Versions of the software there, one free with Ads and one without for a 0.69cents or so(Just to get the Apples Developer fees back -.-). But thats just an idea to make it possible for non jailbroken devices.

Hi Scilor I was wondering if there is any chance you would rename the program to 'GrooveMobile by Scilor' instead or 'Scilor's Groovemobile'. Everytime I am searching through my programs list i get to G and wonder where it is until i remember it is under S.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
All my Software is called SciLor's ;) You should remember SciLor's GrooveMobile. If there is any need of changing the name, just go to \windows\startmenu\programs\ and change the name

hi hows 14 coming along? Not heard you say anything about what your trying to do next with the app just excited :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Guus_:
Scilor: thanks! Awesome app. :D

Only a better/Sense style skin would be great. Or is it released already? I can't find a single GrooveMobile skin.

A bug: at a lot of songs I get "failed to start song". Is there a fix for this yet or is the problem at GrooveShark?

Thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Stop asking :D If something is there a new version comes out ;)

If many songs are not working you may check the debug log. If you see some memory errors, try to clean up you free device RAM, by soft reseting your device and just running SciLor's GrooveMobile. There are existing any skins besides the normal one. If I find time to get the new GUI ready this should change :)
