In the marketplace

GOOD NEWS!!

Walkman7 is back in the windows phone marketplace!

Get it here (Opens Zune)

Might take a few hours for it to pop-up in the marketplace
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
Received an email from App Hub, I will have to pull the app within the next 24 hours... I will honor their request.

Thanks for all the support.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
Some speed and stability improvements. Fixed the slowness and crash bugs... Still some slowness at startup which has to do with the downloading of the autoupdate data.

Hopefully I can get the app prepared for Mango soon :)

Enjoy version 3.0.5

WalkMan7_v3.0.5_SPEED_IMPROVEMENT.xap - 0.53MB
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Bosmanos:
I love you man... The app is absolutely fantastic, running on LG optimus 7!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] SimzzDev:
Great App

I just wanted to say I love this app... I saw it's back on the Marketplace. Is Microsoft letting it stay on this time?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] c3ro:
*knock knock

hia any news on walkman7? been a while reading you posting here : )

ps. i realised that in shuffle mode the app starts always with the first song of the playlist and not where it was last played. feature or bug? ^^

rgds
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
the way it's implemented... it picks a random number after it played the first song.

I'm in Sardegna no internet no PC, for 2 weeks. ill try to sneak a newer version trough the marketplace when I'm home. after ill start working on a Mango version with BG playback.

thanks all for the support :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
REALLY excited for this!

Sucks about MSFT telling you to remove it from the Marketplace. It's still there now. Did they change their stance?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] eternalemb:
Who needs Zune Pass when we have Marvins Walkman7? =D great job man!

Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
no unfortunately not I think they monitor xda and than discover it and send me a request to remove it. and than ill need to change something resubmit it and sometimes it gets trough. the current version is unfortunately an old and buggy one, the new one was rejected. ill see if I can fix it. It kind of sucks, but there stance is totally understandable. and testers are humans so one thinks it's cool and approves it, the other is strict and rejects it.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] jotapm:
Love your app :D

Any plans on making a Mango version with background audio?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] eternalemb:
+1! I hate that my HD7 w/ Mango beta 2 can multitask but can't keep playing WalkMan7 audio =(

Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
yes but it is a holiday period now. and it will take a decent amount of recoding to make it mango ready. ill have to get familiar with the new APIs and will see what I can come up with. ill also have to wait for some study results, but ill work on it once I get back bc I have mango installed myself and miss it too :)

I made some desicions which might not be that well implemented (selection to delete songs etc) illl have to improve those things as well and will prefer to have most issues fixed for the Mango app
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
improved the playlist control selecting tracks has been made much easier.

Do we have to update??

Marvin,

I love your app. I dont need to have my mp3 on my cell, if i like a song i just add that song to the playlist, it is awsome.

Question, I see the you have a new version 3.2, do we have to reload the xap. into our devices or walkman 7 updates it self? I'm asking because everytime i go into the app, it check for updates.

thank you very much.

I also wanted to ask you for long time, what happen to the tv app the used to stream videos of series and shows. I used to love that app as well, but ever since i went to vacation, long time back, stopped working.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] walthur:
Hey, I just tried out your app, seems like a great idea :)

Only problem is, whatever search engine you are using is getting very poor results for me. Searching for "system" to find tracks by system of a down gets 10 results, all short demo tracks. Searching for "muse" gets no results at all. queen or radiohead gets no results as well, beatles gets a whopping 3 results. :/
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] politoloco:
walthur,

Try using specific name of song, you will get better results. I imagine because of copyright material can use singer names. for example and I think has explain in previous post, if you type eminem, you get no results, but if you type eminim or a little different you will get results.

in my case if I type rihanna, I get no results, but I type the name of the song like Man Down, I get a lot of results and full songs.

Play with it and see what do you get.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
Sorry try the marketplace version...

Im working on an update and I have to wait until I upload a certificate. After I upload this file the full search will open up. However I can not upload the file yet. So unfortunately the sideload version will not work (yet). Try the marketplace one.

Sorry for the inconvenience, I have been on holidays and when I came back I noticed the mistake I made.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] politoloco:
Hey Marvin, welcome back. I hope u enjoyed your vacation very much. We missed you. My sideload version of walkman7 is working wonderfully. I did not updated to the latest version u posted previously. Anxiously waiting for the update. By the way if u have a chance, please let me know about the tv app u had before. Thank u
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
Thank you :)

The updated version works now! Enjoy it

Uhm about the tv thing, the service I used got taken down. Unfortunately windows phone can not handle a lot of video formats so its unlikely i can find a comparable service to make it work again. Its dead as of now, ill let it know of ill find something else.

HELP

I love the Walkman app but did they remove it from the marketplace because I accidentally uninstalled it and now I can't find it or get it back. Any suggestions .my email is I.AM.PALI110390@gmail.com I use a Wp7
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Ttblondey:
Check your email, i've send you already.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] I AM PALI:
thanks

Thanks to everyone who helped me but do I still have to use a PC I to put the app on my phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] kwill:
Hey MarvinS. Is there anyway you could release a version that show up in the Music+Vidoes Hub? I really like having all my music related stuff there in one location. Thanks and can't believe I had to come back here to get the xap. Apparently the app is gone from the marketplace and I had just flashed to get IS.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
Well atm Im very busy with my study. and with some other projects...

A mango version will take a lot of time and the app has been banned from the marketplace so its not justifiable for me atm. If I have more time available Ill look into updating it.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] kwill:
Understandable. And studies come first. Do you have to make the app Mango ready in order for it to go into the music+vids hub? That's the main thing I was looking for (besides background audio)? Anyways, good luck with school and hope to see an update if you find time:D Thanks in advance.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Badflex:
Hi I'm from Germany. In the marketplace, the app is so no longer be found. I have downloadet the HOMEBREW version. But he finds no songs. Is that now in each case? Thx
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] kwill:
Looks like the same for me. The source he pulls from may have gotten taken down or something.

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] DarkD1988:
is there any chanche to make this app working with 7720+
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
Hey all.

This app can not hit the mp anymore. However I thinking about just starting a massive private beta so people can still have it. But Ill have to recode the entire app from scratch. So ill need a lot of free time and this period Im verry busy with my master degree. But if I find some time ill try to bring some update, it will be not compatible with previous versions though as Im planning to use groove shark.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Ttblondey:
Take your time, study comes first.:D
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] phantomlightgames:
Yes is it possible to save files to where the zune folder is on the phone?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
Nope there is no API for that (and that has something to do with piracy). There should be an unofficial native API in the Nokia Music dll, found by fiinix, but so far this API has not been implemented so I cant use that either. Once its their Ill defenetly make a tool for it.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
Dear all,

this week I decided to start the development of Walkman7 from scratch this due to the new Mango API's for audio need a totally new approach.

I've greatly improved the speed. Although there is no UI, no offline playback and no multiple playlists yet. Its very basic, not even shuffle is implemented, but for those that know me, it will come when there is time for it. At least the core is taking shape and everyone can try is. Ive added the xap to this post o the beta.

Please supply feedback.

Ow and the search blocks certain names eg "Lady Gaga" returns zero results, but "Gaga Lady" will return a ****load of results. I might implement an auto shuffle of the word order to improve search results. But the best results can be obtained by searching for song titles.

The app supports background playback, making a simple playlist and is much much much faster than the old versions!

EDIT: Tiny update! Added Live tile and small UI improvements.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wpxbox:
Quick Review :

1. Hitting Enter does not start search.

2. Pressing a search result adds that into Playlist. a) There should be some info on this b) Many will like to play the song instead. So an option to ether Play or Add to playlist should be there.

3. Looking at the playlist how do you what is getting played.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ibrahim.sayid:
Hi i have downloaded and installed your app on my HTC HD2 however when i click search nothing comes up, could this be because of my search criteria....The app has a really good design keep it up! :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
I dont really control what the search returns, so try searching differently. Eg lady gaga -> 0 results, while gaga lade returns a couple thousand. Gaga pokerface also returns. Same eith the game, returns 0 while game + song title will return something. Some of the artist are blocked b/c copyright reasons. So my advice is to search differently and search on a title if u can not find the artist.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
1. It does for me,

2. Thats fixed, tap and hold in the next release, this was obviously for testing/beta purposes. Playing the song directly will come, I agree thats a good one.

3. At the moment you cant know it. And the background player is quite a crappy class to pass back variables, but this will be fixed and I know how to do it.

Thanks for testing/dropping a review, most of your poinrs is detail UI work. Im wondering if playback etc is all working correctly for everyone :)

Kind regards and happy NY to all. I might work on a better version for today.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Ttblondey:
It worked for my hd7 but there seems to be some lagging not as smooth before mango. But I like it and I miss this apps.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
What lag do you mean? Can you elborate more? As the loading of the data etc is much much faster due to implementation of databases and some better handling of parsing/downloading the data.

But if you mean the playback itself, yeah the background audio agent is quite crappy. And I think I can optimize it more with a detour.

Ive started working on the implementation of offline playback (yes downloading in the background!) there are some issues still but im getting there.

Ive made a seperate "library" where you can store all the songs, from this library one can make a playlist. I might implement multiple playlists later, this takes a more advanced setup of the database.

I hope to fix some minor issues tonight and than push out an update with the offline playback etc for you all to heavily beta test.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Ttblondey:
I think It's my phone.Sorry false alarm.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
No problem.

Good news! First post is updated with a new version. I did a lot of UI work and implemented offline playback. The UI is not fully ported yet but at least now it does not hurt the eyes that much :D

I've managed to speed up the background audio agent with some advice from snickler. Loading/playing/skipping tracks has been greatly improved since the first beta. Thanks man!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
Layed down the pavement for multiple playlists.

Just have to make the UI for selecting/adding/deleting playlists etc and hook up the functions, but the coding part is progressing nicely, the database structure is also set up correctly now (at least I hope :)).
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snickler:
BG Audio is a pain in the ass :P. Trying keep sync between the foreground app and the bg class is what makes it difficult. Check your PM btw :P
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
Hey man, yeah I read them. I have a pretty neat syncing trick though. And I´ve merged all to 1 DB (and a seperate table just to store the target track and some settings). I also think you can improve the DB speed significantly by indexing it.

Works nicely on my phone.

Will test further at a later time.

stats below ---v
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
thanks guys,

currently working on a more advanced version, ive implemented multiple playlists, shuffle function, ported the full UI (both black and white theme). Restructured the database, implemented status messages. Implemented Rename function, etc etc.

There are still some things to do, I want to implement Multi select, so one can choose multple files to delete/add at once... The structure is ready for this, just a matter of writing some more functions and a little UI work.

I also need to make a settings page and the bindings. Than do some error handling. But the end is nearing, all will be good. Hope to have a full version ready in a couple of days.

And I need to implement a seek function to seek in the song (ffw/rew).

At least the most boring part is almost finished :) and its all looking good. I hope everybody is enjoying the beta. Ill post some screenshots of the current build tomorrow.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wsantiagow:
Cant wait to see the screenshots! Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
Updated first post with screenshots.

Im trying to improve the performance now, as it is still an issue with big lists.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Ttblondey:
I tried the latest version but after search and click or go to playlist and try to play ,it doesn't play or do anything.Before this version it's fine.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
strange... If so please use an older version. Im a couple of builds ahead and it works fine here. I cant release my build yet as I still have to debug it.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Ttblondey:
Just giving a feedback for future release.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
yeah I see, it does not play at all or is it certain songs? Yeah my build now is so different and nearing release, that its a bit hard for me to imagine what I did wrong. It could be that there are some bugs, did you try to reinstall?

Also don't sync with zune while using.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Ttblondey:
In playlist there's no song unlike the previous version it shows the song that we choose.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
Ah I see even after completely removing the previous install? That is defenetly a bug :D I think I know what the issue is there. This seems like a DB issue because the structure changed. If it still does not work after uninstalling and reinstalling, than you will have to wait for the final build unfortunately.

But I finished the final build yesterday though, I'm doing some internal testing still. It is looking good, ill be testing the app this entire day, maybe tomorrow a bit. If all works fine and I don't need to change anything than ill release it tomorrow or the day after probably.

I don't have an older build atm. You can try beta 2 otherwise for the moment or wait for the final build (which will be well worth it).
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Ttblondey:
I don't have any problem with the v.2.Take your time to test I'm no hurry.;)

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

How come others doesn't report any bugs or I'm the only one that having the bug for v 2.1:confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
The must have thought that the app is a scam :D

Anyway, the wait is over for you (and the other users of course!), I've decided to push out the RC1 version. The ad is quickly and chealy placed, but this way there is minimal loss in useful space. I will most likely change this or find a way to get an ad-free version out ( but it is my party/drinking money :D ).
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Ttblondey:
Just sideload the rc. It works perfectly fine.Thanks alot.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] xhirschix:

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
What do you mean? What trouble are you experiencing? It does not work on "WiFi"? What does not work exactly? Search or Audio playback or downloading?

Please explain more toroughly so I can isolate your issue. Are you experiencing similar problems with other apps?

Hi,

is it possibble:

1. Download [ not stream ] music from My Skydrive to Isolated Storage ?

2. Where are the MP3 stored, in which folder under Isolated Storage or somewhere else ?

I miss this type of app.

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
Hey,

Let me answer your questions

1) No unfortunately not at the moment, there are other apps that can do this. But this is not the focus of this app.

2) In the root of the Isolated Storage :)

Glad you like it :)

Kind regards!

[Nook Color General] azj:
I started thinking that our NCs that have been upgraded with Froyo, CM7 or HC really need a new name:

"What's that you've got there?"

"Why, that's my NookColor that's been rooted and upgraded with Froyo and over-clocked to 1.1GHz"

will just cause most peoples eyes to glaze over.

A few obvious possibilities are NookPad, NookTab, NookSlab, NookSlate, NookyPad (although that sounds like something from a 70s "art" film :D ).

Suggestions?

[Nook Color General] IndivisibleP:
errr... I ll just throw my input in because I like the idea of a specialized name for our enhanced tablets, not so much that I stand by my suggestions ...

Although it would almost sound the same I like the idea of Newk Color because it says "new", fresh, and up to date, which is uniquely appropriate considering the Nook had honeycomb before anything else. Or maybe the Newk Encore, or just Nook Encore. I think Encore alone might not clearly reflect on the work of the modding community in the minds of most people. Just my 2 ¢
