I need to update GrooveMobile, until then it won't work fine
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Try WKTask!

@All others

I hoped you will like it :) And with the update checker you will always know if you have the newest version. But please just check once a day, otherwise my webserver will...(and traffic of cause)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ugumba:
Like Spotify's offline mode? Oh oh! Gimme one of those! ;-) This is fantastic - really looking forward to your future improvements.

I hope you will give us some manual control over the cache, e.g. like tagging playlists for offline use, downloading them automatically (without having to play them) when connected to a free network, etc.

Thanks!

@Scilor>

Any chance of moving the hosting of the cab file to a server that works with PocketIE or Opera?

I can never get either the main download (UploadTo) or the mirror (can't remember what that is now) to work from my Leo.

Also for some reason the new listing on FreewarePocketPC.net is not showing up in their OpnMarket software so I can't download it from there either.

Am stuck now until I can get to a desktop that I can hook my phone up to...

-FM
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
There is a reason why you do not get it from the OpnMarket: It is not allowed rehost my software! Opera works fine for me on rapidshare and uploaded. Just try it again ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fatmonk:
Very odd.

Tried the download many times with v2 from my phone and failed, and tried three or four times with v3 and failed. Uploaded just resets the counter when clicking on the download button, and rapidshare just kept looping back to the choose a subscription type page.

Just tried it again from Uploaded and worked no problem.

Oh well.. installing now...

-FM

PS. You could have PM'ed me rather than risking a bunch of people trying to d/l direct from your forums - I get the feeling that this app will really take off again like Barguast's versions once people konw you've taken it over...

Additional feature request:

When saving a list, show a list of previously saved lists so you can select one and save over it. Right now you have to type out the whole thing.

Example: I saved a list called "Blink 182 - Take Off Your Pants and Jacket". I added songs to it and then when I went to save the list again with the new songs on it, i had to type out "Blink 182 - Take Off Your Pants and Jacket" again. It would have been easier to see a list of previously saved playlists, tap the old one, and confirm that I wanted to overwrite it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Ok :) I will add it, I also thought about it :) Please add it to your existing feature requests on my Website :) Thank you for your Support!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
And yet some more:

Allow the user to choose how much storage to designate for caching purposes. This will allow someone to basically cache an entire playlist at one time (maybe at home via Wifi), then play it back without having to redownload the entire list, saving bandwidth usage.

Allow user to change order of playlist possibly with a long tap followed by a drag.

This program is amazing by the way. I can listen to basically anything I want without using up my entire storage card. Simply awesome!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
I was just wondering- OpnMarket is not allowed to rehost? Or freewarepocketpc is not allowed to rehost? I was asking bc your app is on the freeware homepage right now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
I do not want that my applications get rehosted. So I want that you download over my website (You can post it on freeware sites, but without any direct download link. You will have to redirect the people to the products website).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
I was just giving you a heads up. I didn't post anything anywhere. I just saw that your app was up at the freeware site I mentioned. But it does redirect to your site.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mahender:
hi scilor thanks for the response. this app is uber cool.

do you have a donate link??

@ Scilor,

Loving the addition of playlists.

I know you're probbaly working on various GUI improvements, so as usual these are just a couple of suggestions:

1) Remove the search bar from the playlist page and replace it with the name of the currently loaded playlist (or some indicator that its a new, unsaved playlist if appropriate). This woul ddo away with the need for the large P and S in the nice shark background.

2) Rather than a box appearing so large beside each search result when it has been playlisted, how about a little playlist icon? Then in the plalist screen a trash can or similar as the icon for removing the track from the playlist, a play icon for the currently playing song, and a cued icon for the next song that will play - this last could be useful if you add a shuffle play mode to the playlist function in the future.

And a quick question. I remember Barguast was looking at a skinnable version of the app a while ago. Do you have any plans to implement that as well? I'd love a nice dark grey / black UI that would fit with the other theme elements of my phone. Not sure if you are hard coding the UI or making it from objects, but better to mentio this earlier rather than later as I guess it's pretty fundamental to how you build the app.

Cheers,

FM
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
Yes on the Website: http://www.scilor.com/ on the right site is a donate Button!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brandogg:
I'm trying to use it right now (Samsung Omnia), I can search, then if I click a song a box appears, but I can't "check" it or anything, and pressing play does nothing...what am I missing here?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Thank you, easier the site: www.scilor.com/donate.html

I would like you to read the text on the screen next time, before you use the program!: Swipe your fingers to the left and right ;).

So you search-> search only list. Click on item-> put it onto your playlist. Swipe to the site to get to your playlist and play the songs etc.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fatmonk:
That prompts another UI suggestion.

If the play bar doe nothing in the search screen, maybe it could be removed (or replaced with something else) and only appear on the play / playlist screen?

Or maybe you already have plans that make these suggestions redundant anyway.

-FM
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] boomhand103:
Glad you answered that post as I too overlooked that part. :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ptsar:
Great program with the addition of Playlists.

One suggestion - Add a button to turn off the screen to save battery and avoid unwanted screen taps while playing music.

THANKS.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Thank you for your suggestions. Due to this thread is very very unstructured and confusing I would like you to put your suggestions here: http://www.scilor.com/myboard/viewforum.php?f=145 Just take a look at the existsing Suggestions and if yours are different start a new thread for your own :)

Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
how about logging into grooveshark like nanogroove does? my problem with that is once you login you got to click songs to play as a playlist I just like to load it and play lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
It is on the way :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
you and nanogroove need to merge resources :P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] porkrinds13:
well, I'm not sure what's going on. ....i downloaded both the grooveshark mobile downloader and groove mobile and I'm still not able to get any songs. I'm getting a message saying that it needs the latest 3.5 frame network but I've already got it....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
I have a omnia i910 and it worked tonight when I installed. Just was confusing like if you touch a song it makes a circle but then you wonder how do you add to a playlist and why can't you reorder them lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mazzarin:
Great work Scilor. I agree with others that have said something along the lines of "it took me 5 minutes to figure out wth I was doing" but after that it was smooth sailing! Look forward to further developments.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SLCMotor:
Alpha v3 not working for me.

Alpha v3 loads and I can search for a song/artist etc, but then I can't get anything to play. When I select a song, it puts the square box to the right of the song name and does add it to a playlist but nothing else.

However The Alpha version using GS Mobile that I downloaded that came not in .cab format works GREAT!

So I have no idea why v3 is not working playing
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Next time read the screen instructions:

Swipe your fingers to get to your selected playlist
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] timmy8082:
Hey, I have posted this on Hd2 forum but I will post it here as well just to see if any one has any soloutions to this and to let any one with the same problem see the soloutions.

When playing the track it streams fine but... when I hit the end call button to lock my phone so I dont press anything when I am on the move, it stops the track and I cant get it playing again. However when I have it connected to wifi and lock the phone its fine and the song will still play.

I think when I lock my phone it cuts off the 3G signel can that be??

Any soloutions?

cheers Tim

success story

Hi scilor,

that is hot stuff :D. I have used it last night. My wife and me we was in a greek resturant and i had the right music. Yes, yes..... The owner has aked me where i get this music. Hehe, i sad you know scilor..

You are the man and when i can save files on storage card you will have received the donation. That's shure because you have give me a wonderfull memory ..;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dibbson:
Is your forum down scilor? I haven't been able to connect to it today?

EDIT: finally able to connect to it now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
When I press the hang up button on my HD2 the song stops. If I use a screen locker it does not happen. I do not why this happens, but I will try to fix that.

You need .Net 3.5 Framework for the grooveshark(tm).com downloader (If you still get an error hit continue). For SciLor's GrooveMobile you need the .Net compact framework 3.5

Greek restaurant hehe, so I suffer now from mouth propaganda :) Thanks.

And the cache will come ;)

Thanks for the info, maybe my hoster had a problem
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] elmstrom:
Wow, this is very very cool! all i can say is thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blitz_:
Great app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Samerndapimp:
Thanx scilor! Really great app :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Thank you, I hope you enjoy it.

I am currently working on new features. Just check my website/board once a while if there are any updates. Don't mind to post feature requests/bug reports here: http://www.scilor.com/myboard/viewforum.php?f=142

SciLor
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
when do you think a new version will be out and what new features are coming you think? Will it have more then Nanogroove? Your app is going to be so expensive if you keep up the new features lol :P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
A new version will come out "when it's done" (Duke Nukem Forever ;)).

I am planning skinning, grooveshark login with radio/playlists, some ui increasements etc....

I am planning that my free SciLor's GrooveMobile has even the same or more features than Nanogroove
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Some essential things ;)

Alpha v4(2010-03-15)

-Enhancement: Gzip-Compression option (Disabled by default).

-Change: Hide search-box if it is not needed

-Change: Replaced save-textbox with a combobox ;)

-Fix: random "index"-Crash due to missing RemovePlaylistsItem-Handling

Download at: www.scilor.com/groovemobile.html
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rightjb:
WOW!

WOW! What a great app! I didn't quite understand the concept from reading the site when I downloaded and figured it would be another 1 and done player. This is like Pandora or TheRadio.com with artist specific playlists for the mobile! AMAZING!

Congrats on your great app. Will contribute shortly.

Also - I'm assuming the OPTIONS>OPTIONS>SONG PLAYING>PLAY ALL is for songs in the PLAYLIST and not in the SEARCH? I noticed if it is unchecked the player won't go to the next song in the playlist.

Also - two requests. Could you have the keyboard pop up automatically when saving a playlist? The keyboard also needs to be manually minimized to see the SAVE (or DELETE OR LOAD) buttons.

GREAT JOB!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
You are welcome :)

1. This "Play all" is only for your playlist. If I do another cleanup of my code, I will allow you to play the search without putting them onto your playlist, so everything gets a little easier.

2. I will pop it up and will allow you to press "enter" to submit your playlist :)

I would really like you to register in my forums, if you have more ideas, just because it is very confusing keeping track of every feature request in here.

SciLor
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Working great so far.

Just a note if you're interested... Search doesn't work for me with GZip compression on but Playback does work with GZip compression on. I'm not sure if that tells you anything about why the error happens.

Keep up the great work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Thank you for your feedback, sounds weird :D, but this doesn't help (Anyway, you can disable it if it is working fine, if not keep it off :))
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
Pretty much we can expect cacheing and logining in and playing a saved playlist on a account a pretty much quanteeed thing to assume when next version comes out?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
I cannot say it ;)

"When it's done", like the duke said :P

I hope I get it ready in the next 2 weeks

SciLor
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
good enough for me Duke ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Scilor, you are so fast...

...and i smell allways the greek :D.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Xenodwarf:
v4 did it for me. Haven't worked befor, now it's working like a charm!

Grate work!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NeoXTC:
I can play this through wifi but when I turn wifi off it doesn't work :(

Anyone else have this problem?

I have touch HD.

oh I"m using the "zip" version and not the cab version as well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
The reason for that is, that you will need an internet connection ;) If you make wifi off it cannot work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NeoXTC:
aahhh so u can't get it to automatically connect to gprs or 3g data connections? I do have data connection enabled (push mail) but yeah it didn't work.

Can't show off this software to friends at work and stuff if can't use through gprs eheheh
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
You will have to activate the data connection first. And it must be a true data connection!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
@All I have just reversed engineered the "playlists". The "protocol" is implemented. Now I will need to make the gui for it -.- And I hate GUI :D. I hope I get it ready soon!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
I hope you get it ready soon too. I will say a prayer for you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Ohh dear, that seems to help ;) Even I am not religous:

private void OnPlaylistsCompleted(Request request, object response) {
userGetPlaylistsResponse playlistsResponse = (userGetPlaylistsResponse)response;
foreach (PlaylistResult result in playlistsResponse.result.Playlists) {
MessageBox.Show("Name: " + result.name + "\r\n" + "About: " + result.about + "\r\n" + "ID: " + result.playlistID);
//Go on SciLor, you nearly did it, just the results missing ;)
}

}

As you I am just building the GUI part, Login works, getting the playlists works, just the recieving of the music in the playlists and putting them somewhere is missing :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
It will come to you like a revelation. "AHA!", you will say.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mazzarin:
Is the gui thread independent from playback or are they intertwined? E.g. if I go into an area with spotty signal and it gets stuck requesting the stream key, I have to go to task manager and kill it manually.

Feature req: Grooveshark radio?! Is that a 'down the line' option maybe?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
The UI-thread is mostly independent. I will investigate that bug.

The Radio function will come ;) I am just playling around with the online playlists. They should be released soon
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
The feature request that I'm mostly looking forward to is better caching. If it could cache entire playlists, cache the next song while the current song is playing, etc. that would make the program even more amazing than it already is.

If you could designate a gigabyte (or so) of your storage card to maintain GrooveMobile caching, you could potentially have an entire music collection that you wouldn't have to access the data connection for all the time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Ok guys, here it is SciLor's GrooveMobile Alpha v5 with online Playlists ;)

Alpha v5(2010-03-16)

-Enhancement: More-menu with options for showing the playlist and your search results. (Swiping left/right still works!)

-Feature: Download your grooveshark(tm).com playlists

Download @ http://www.scilor.com/groovemobile.html
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
Importing playlists from grooveshark.com worked but it didn't put it in the songs in the same order as they are at grooveshark.com.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Yes, there is a sorting variable at the website. I just ignored it to make it work ;) (I am currently working on getting more data album art, album name etc, but first of all I need to fix a thing, otherwise we would loose all our offline playlists :()
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NeoXTC:
Do you have any plans to enable this to work through gprs/3g connection? Would be cool if it could detect if you have wifi off, it'll automatically connect using your mobile data connection. :)

Oh well great apps anyway :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
for some reason does not work for me, the program works but the whole login part does not work. What happens is this I put in my username and pass then I click dump playlist afterword and I get a error. I use the omnia i910 smartphone, windows mobile 6.1 net 3.5 is on it too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
I also have to say it does play music with no problem just the login is giving a error and its not that I spelled anything wrong.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Walkonatyclb:
update, even thou I get the error it would load 2 playlists from online. wont load all playlists so what I did was I just went to one that it loaded and made that playlist the one I wanted by switching on grooveshark. So it does work that way for me. Good enough for me and yes better then nanogroove, I actually have a list that loads that plays a list and omg its so expensive when its free lol

@scilor:

>>Ok guys, here it is SciLor's GrooveMobile Alpha v5 with online Playlists..

scilor, you are really to fast for my installations. V4 i have installed in the very early morning at 02:00 am our zone. Uff and now that, V5 is online.

(joke) ..can you send some sms's around for new verions :D:D (/joke)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
Please give more information about the errors. I would suggest you to do that in my forums.

The problem is, that I cannot test that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fatmonk:
Re: GPRS / 3g

This DOES work over GPRS (don;t now about 3g as I don;t have a 3g contract).

If I don't have WiFi on, and even if I don't have an active data connection over GPRS / Edge, as soon as GrooveMobile needs network access WinMo establishes a connection.

It's not very usuable for me as the download of the song is slower than realtime so the song cahes a bit, plays a bit, catches up with whats cached, then plays a bit more. If I'm in a really good GPRS signal area then it just about works OK.

This IS NOT an issue with Scilor's app, its an issue of network speed - my GPRS connection cannot pull the data down quick enough to keep up with real time playback - but it does technically work.

-FM
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NeoXTC:
hmmm that's weird. Cos searching doesn't work for me but playing works over gprs fine. hmmm

Could it be a bug then when searching through gprs? Don't know why but when searching with no wifi it virtually hangs my phone. Not sure if this is bug or if just my phone....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Noonski:
Big Ass Kudos on Playlist loading from Account!.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
Just reporting back

Works great for me. I was a little confused by the word "Dump". Might I suggest a reword such as "Import Play Lists". For only slightly geeky people or non-geeky people- the word "dump" suggests to get rid of something, not to add something.

Also- I don't have to have my wifi on to connect. It connects directly through 3g.

I've been hoping to find a mobile version of this site. Every since Imeem was bought out by myspace, i went to Grooveshark and havent looked back. I will report my findings! Thanks again

Great App. Thus Far

For an application in alpha, I am very impressed. I have been using it for the past few hours, and it streams much better than Pandora on my device.

Keep up the great work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bRkiX:
hi, thanx for this great app

i have one question

how can i save song when is downloaded? where is cached?

i previously used nanogrove app, witch cached to root of sd cart, file was named groovy.mp3 and it vas easily copied and renamed for later offline use

thanx again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi bRkiX,

you have read the 1st posting from scilor? There is possible your answer and a link. Here on xda it is our wish that the users read and search before they ask. This is the respect to/for our community. But it is easy to find. Please, take a look around posting 70..79 and you will find your answer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bRkiX:
Hi Mike,

have you read my question?

i have read both first post, and all other posts, and i know that there is grooveshark downloader foe windows, i am using it.

But my question is, how to save cached song on mobile phone, not in windows7.

if there is indeed answer to this in posts you suggested, forgive me, i am blind or stupid because i cannot find it.

there is mention of grooveshark mobile downloader, bit i am unable to find it ond scilors siter on anywhere else.

thank you, and if you know answer, please share it with me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scilor:
It is cached anywhere, but it will come ;) just read through.

SciLor

PS: Anyone who has problems with importing his playlists should check if there are any unusual characters in the Playlists name. Due to I do not check for invalid filename characters when using the Playlists name as filename it may crash on those ones. Just search for playlists containing any character that is not allowed in filenames (There should only be Letters, Numbers, -, _)(Not allowed are for ex: ":" "\" "*" "(" etc.)
