[APP][4.0.3+] XenoAmp 0.405 (22052015) - A Slightly Different Audio Player

Download link - see bottom of OP

THE LEGEND OF XENOAMP

Do you ever get this feeling in the evening (or morning - I am not judging you!), when the music seems to be richer and more threedee, sung words become more understandable and you have a strong craving for pizza, dougnut, ice cream, or a box of chocolates? It doesn't matter if you feel like dancing or couchlocked, but when you reach for your trusty music player there comes the usual horror: HOW THE HELL DO I CREATE A PLAYLIST?! Sheesh!

So, XenoAmp was conceived on a Beach, when I was trying to create a playlist on my Rockbox-flashed Sansa Fuze, while going deeeeeep Down The Rabbit Hole.

"Click! Click! Where I was? Click! Click! Damn! Click! What was I doing? Damn! Click! Wait, what did I want?"

As much as I love Rockbox firmware, its interface is too geeky even for geekiest geeks. Man! I don't think I was ever able to create a playlist on Rockbox when I was baseline. I thought to myself: "there must be a better way!". So in the beginning I just wanted to create a wrapper for Android port of Rockbox, to make it a little less rough. Maybe even - turn it into a Pillowbox. But then, as it often happens with software, it grew. It grew only from the inside, though, as on the surface it stayed just very minimalistic: spartan "Now playing" screen with no widgets, each function accessible through a simple touch, sweep or sleight of hand. Before I throw some screenshots with explanation, check out CURRENT features (if you REALLY need to see how XenoAmp looks, resist the urge to peek at screenshots - static XenoAmp is dull, see "XenoAmp The Movie" instead).

Now the list of current features (some don't have GUI yet, but do exist). Since XenoAmp is all about music, let's begin with...













Audio features:

- Gapless playback on Jelly Bean!

- Replaygain support

- Standard audio controls: bass boost, equalizer, virtualizer, etc.

- Equalizer can be calibrated via automatic room correction (like Audyssey or YPAO) for optimal playback, regardress of amp/loudspeaker/place combination

- Headphones can sound as never before with audiogram-based calibrator

- Currently plays all audio formats supported by your Android version (as Rockbox is still not integrated)

- Experimental engine plays MP3, OGG, MPC, WMA, AIFF, FLAC, M4A, MP4

- Different sound profiles for dock/car/headphones. Going for a ride? Unplug your headphones, dock your android device in a car and it will equalize to your precalibrated car profile.

- Viper Audio 10-band equalizer used where available

Media library:

- Browse your collection faster than ever - see it on a 2D pinch-to-zoom-able matrix with customizable axii: Albums by artists? Albums by years? Gneres by artists? ANY combination of ID3 tags is supported. Zoom out to see the mosaic of covers, zoom in to track level! Select quickly from albums in the same row.

- Were you missing AlbumArtist tag? Well - not anymore.

- Picking from zoomable matrix too fancy? Choose your tracks the way geeks do it: with filesystem browser.

- Browse your tracks by rating, date of listening, date of adding to library, or playcount, with neat flow-style interface.

- For all anal retentive among us: synchronize your music tags to MusicBrainz and Discogs, either automatically or by scanning barcode from your original CD.

- Automatic album art downloading (your embedded ID3 cover has a priority, unless of very low quality). Art is kept as normal png images on your filesystem.

- Don't like the album art XenoAmp's fuzzy logic picked? No prob - you can always choose a better one manualy.

- Index and play your cifs media to create a real audio station for your home (when mounted via cifs.ko).

- Browse and create playlists from files on your SMB network (even without cifs.ko)

- Edit tags for a bunch of tracks or mass edit by template.

- Outside of XenoAmp: click a file in ES Explorer, Total Commander, Solid Browser or Whatever File Browser and voila: you've created a playlist from current directory contents!

- "native" XenoAmp Playlists are kept in m3u8 with absolute paths

- manage .nomedia files inside xenoamp browser

- let XenoAmp choose tracks for you: random 100 tracks, random 10 albums, random never listened tracks

- Find tracks in similar mood in your library

- Filter your collection by provider (local files, Subsonic servers, Google Music...)

Interface:

- You can't get more minimalist. Unless you turn off your display. If you more of a "hello, kitty!" person, you won't like it.

- Everything you do is just touch or sweep. Draw a circle for volume up/down.

- Managing playlists is no more a pain, you can EASILY (and I mean in a snap) create, delete and rename playlists, switch between them, append them with tracks based on any tag (artist, ALBUM ARTIST, year, genre...), shuffle, move tracks around, delete them, choose quickly across albums, toggle selection and so on. Just pull up those three dots on the bottom of the screen.

- Click playlist entry to play, drag to move up/down, sweep to delete. Touch tracks in any of available views (2d matrix, file browser, top chart) to add and remove them from choosen playlist (might be be different from currently playing), easily toggle selection.

Music services:

- 8Tracks

- Internet radio

- Google music

- Subsonic (if you friends have Subsonic servers, you can sync to all of them!)

Bits and pieces:

- Voice control

- Control via headset button

- Scrobbling to last.fm and libre.fm (via wonderful "A simple last.fm scrobbler" - get it on the Market)

- Browse into M3U* and PLS, and recursively into playlists inside them

- M3U* and PLS handle local, HTTP and SMB entries

- Browse and search internet radio directory

- Player reacts to audio jack, incoming calls, respects Android audio focus and media button interfaces.

- Displays lyrics via LyricsWiki.

- Minimalistic home screen widgets, currently 1x1, 4x1, 4x2 and 4x4

- Respects .nomedia

- Most features working on Gingerbread (API 10), could probably be made to work on Froyo (they used to, but since all my friends migrated to GB I can't say if it is still working)

- Low end machines supported, working fluently on HTC Touch Pro2 (and that's a 528 Mhz CPU!). OK, not enough memory to display covers, but still usable.

- AVRCP - as stated in this post: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/23439-avrcp-13-map-compability-current-test-build-b33-ml-2/ AVRCP should be working on AOKP ROMs for anything that supports "A simple last.fm scrobbler" (which XenoAmp does).

- Sleep timer.

- Probably a lot more bits and pieces I forgot...

FAQ

FAQ moved here: http://www.xenoamp.info/index.php/faq

Q: What other features are in the work?

Priority:
- New, short and nice tutorial (- a small button, maybe in the corner would open the contextual tutorial so if the user wants to remember something, he wouldn't need to re-trigger all the tutorials. the tutorials might be more user friendly, maybe next and back buttons or right and left sweeping, and have the same or a close background color. I'm kind of thinking of a theme concept for the app, but won't share anything before it's done.)
- Bring back pinch to zoom

secondary:
- Time display problem with >1h tracks
- Can we get some better feedback on which covers are from embedded and which not when choosing an icon for an album?
- Nagger
- add CD-like mask for cover on WPS & lockscreen
- subsonic browsing
- gmusic browsing
- fix voice search bug

further enhancments:
- "java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Can't convert to dimension: type=0x2" in wizard
- MbID not read/written by xenoamp
- add special tags to m3u8 (proposed: sort order for autoshuffling, cursor position, playlist stack data, one-shoot track [for rockbox-style queuing])
- Music cabinet http://dilerium.se/musiccabinet/
- "Ivory" skin - it is there, but unpolished. Still ebony patches here and there

- Support multiple genres per track
- Proper support of multiple artists per track
- Guitar chords, sheet music?
- Pref: customize colors
- Tasker support - tell about media playing
- Use Volume up/down as pause
- Think about new concert view
- Smart continuator
- string filter in query view
- add label field to xeno database to enhance audiofreak factor
- Itunes synchronization (anyone able to explain what that means?)
- Find tags by Musicbrainz fingerprint

- covers are obtained directly from tags during initial scan, so you will see them right ahead when you open music view
- if by any chance you notice a http server on port 41075 while running XenoAmp, it's a server that will allow streaming from your samba shares, it supports only requests of the form: http://127.0.0.1:41075/smb%3A%2F%2F<full smb path follows here>, but unless you manually create a playlist with smb:// path, this server is not stared

RELEASE 0.22

- Fixed ugly 2.3.x notification to standard look
- Case insensitive sorting (might still be case sensitive in some places, so tell me)
- Headphone and room calibrators work, you have to field test them, though. May require tuning. No equalizer profiles yet, so... you'll have to remember your settings Do not turn off or rotate your device during calibration, as I didn't have time to handle it.
- Presistent playlists. Live through XenoAmp deinstallation. You have to copy you current playlists from XenoAmp data to /XenoAmp manyally

RELEASE 0.21

- Just a Hotfix for 2.3.x Androids

RELEASE 0.20 (CONSERVATIVE HOTFIX)

- Turn on Android notifications by default
- Make beta version disclaimer less intimidating
- Slow down scrolling speed on sheet
- So much for wackiness: disable horizontal dragging of rows whose length is less than screen width
- On first run after database scan main playlist is filled with 10 random albums so no more menacing "playlist empty" or pervert "touch me".
- Better use tablet screenspace
- Add notification media buttons (already on todo)
Regular changes:
- Fixed playlist name cutoff on ldpi
- New DJ: 10 random albums
- Headeset buttons - may be fixed, try it.

NEW RELEASE 0.17

- Fixed volume problem (used log as scalar, supid!)
- Fixed: exiting screens brings back to WPS (was: There is a problem, that I cannot go from playlist screen back to main screen without playing music. Pressing back key, after I e.g. enabled my BT headphones in settings then switched back to app puts me back to BT settings menu...which is frustrating. Add some sort of gesture or key for general in-app back)
- I've ordered a bluetooth receiver with media buttons to test problems with media buttons
- Fixed DSP discovery on broken ROMs. Now you can at least use Bears Audio...
- Cleaned lots of calibrator code to prepare it for GUI, outpurt of uncorrected (=useless) room frequency response in logcat
- Preliminary headphone calibration, you can hear it generating tones, but no useful adjustments are applied yet. If you want to test your ears/headphones combination, sit in a prefectly quiet environment and ask someane to take a note from logcat when you hear each freq

RELEASE 0.16

- Better responsiveness during scan.
- Fixed by brute force: Clearing currently playing playlist causes some strange side effects
- New DJ: all tracks (wonder how many tracks will make out of memory error...)
- New DJ: random 100 tracks
- Preliminary tag-embedded lyrics support, you can see it in logcat (LyricsWiki will not be searched in such case!)

RELEASE 0.15

- Fixed volume issue
- Silent mode doesn't turn off on my device. How about your?
- Fixes: dsp working as expected on JB (was: Check chained dsp in JB)

RELEASE 0.14

- fix scanning on machines that have their storage monted via fuse
- save (last) scroll position in file browser mode
- fixed one FC in filebrowser
- fixed Korean (and probably all other) font displays. QUESTION: Which languages need scroll direction and prev/next directions swapped?
- fixed various database threading issues
- fixed loooooong artist display on WPS
- equalizer now has "flatten" button that will reset it and turn off to save cpu
- fixed eq display behaving strange on drag
- fixed last band on eq display looking stupid
- Turkish translation (thanks Translater)
- fixed: "The player turns silent mode off automatically".
- In your face Spinal Tap! My Amp goes to +50! Volume is now 50 steps for extreme fine tune and preserved from session to session.
- Fix temporary audiofocus loss
- How do you like new icon?

RELEASE 0.13 (Google market release)

- Fixed some crashes connected to database
- Fixed next track after sort
- Fixed FC in file browser
- Fixed various FCs from 0.12

RELEASE 0.12

- Massive amount of FC bugfixes

- Improved db interaction stability

- Incorporated Google Music Play API, and removed it again, as it created some crazy compilation memory requirements. Since Google Music is available only in the U.S.A., I need someone brave from there to test it.

- Framework for detecting your Android facilities. If after this update you don't see anything in EQ (or XenoAmp crashes immediately...) it means your EQ engine is broken. Ask your ROM chief! (was: Detect and disable cheating Androids (the ones that claim they're higher versions that really are) - this causes many FCs, because xenoamp uses features based on API level. Some ROMS clam to be JellyBean, but surprisingly don't support JellyBean APIs!)

- Nomedia management fixed

- First changes for low DPI devices, tell me if you see them in playlists and filebrowser (sheet probably left untouched).

- Low DPI devices will get Base Icon size of 100x100, meaning that covers will be kept at 100x100 pixels and existing tag/cover.jpg files will be used if greater than 100x100 px. Existing xenoamp covers won't be resised, you have to delete them (or mass resize with favourite tool).

- Put back Beats Audio hack discovery into Xeno EQs.

- Fixed nonresponsiveness while db scanning (that includes pausing current track).

- Allow zoom out in sheet by click on row name

- Pref: completely disable rating

- Pref: stop phone from locking while xenoamping

- Pref: allow Android notification bar instead of xeno (looks cr*p, but customer is always right!)

- Fixed: JellyBean - next track often out of sync with current playlist

- Did I mention media scanning improvements?

RELEASE 0.11

- Another fix for initial scanning (sheeeeesh...)

- Due to reintroducing SMB components and preparation to SMB streaming, big internal change to audiotrack object, should be transparent to users, but could also break a lot, as it is used everywhere in XenoAmp (works here, he, he...)

RELEASE 0.10

Skip

RELEASE 0.9

- Probably fixed crash on 2.x.x

- Annotated database scan so your logcats have more info

- Fixed progress circle not working in first quarter.

RELEASE 0.8

- Lockscreen widget on ICS and later - alive and kicking (earlier Androids will get only xenoampy widget, sorry! ...but then again maybe you won't be sorry if you see it)

- Finally fix this f#$!?* file scanning on all devices? Don't know. You tell me!

RELEASE 0.7

- Bugfix release, detect broken AdioFX on some devices. ("Effect library not loaded" exception)

- For me: getting crash reports from widgets, until now I wasn`t aware something`s wrong (and never had any problem with widgets)

- Test lockscreen widget, as it keeps coming back to me like a boomerang. (not visible for users)

- Bigger filesize due to reintegration of smb (not yet enabled)

RELEASE 0.6

- Managing .nomedia by Xeno file browser (requested also as: Allow user to choose which folders to scan). From file/directory context menu you can flip folder .nomedia status (works upward to highest .nomedia).

- Changing default cover image (the white-with-note one) - i think I'll start competition for replacement art. XenoAmp default cover image competition

- Switching play/pause with rating (you know what I mean?)

- Phone jack preference works as expected

- Quick and dirty: displaying results of MusicBrainz queries (no updates to db yet, as "smart" syncing still needs tuning), go to sheet view, select "Smart tag sync" from context menu. Results may vary.

- Bugfix for media scan for users who have their media mounted in /

RELEASE 0.5

- Faster initial scan - during first run only your current media folders will be scanned (only the folders that Android is aware of). If you force scan from prefs it will scan all mounted vfat, cifs and ext* media. (If you want to check this feature, or your media didn't get scanned before, PLEASE UNINSTALL COMPLETELY to remove current database).

- .nomedia is now recursive

- some bug fixes, based on your reports and BugSense

RELEASE 0.4

- Fixed db scanning on JellyBean. Media scanner will pick all mounted vfat and cifs filesystems, no unneeded directories scanned.

RELEASE 0.3

PLEASE UNINSTALL COMPLETELY BEFORE REINSTALLING!

Release 0.3 has the following fixed:

- Android 2.2.x Should be working, but since I don't have a 2.2.x machine, I can't check it.

- Completely new media scanning engine, shouldn't cause out of memory, should scan all your mounted media.

- Showing lyrics should now work every time.

- Title scrolling too fast on low DPI devices

- Clock overlapping battery on low DPI

- Pinch to zoom crash

- Sorting tracks by title and trackno in filebrowser view, sheet view and playlist widget. If you need any other kind of sort - tell me. Do remember, that playlist names and directory names have a context menu (long press) and react to click (toggle selection), so you can easily select all tracks in sheet tile or whole directory in filebrowser mode!

- Corrected date of addition to db, date of last play bug, the flow view is now fully functional

- Cover images from jpegs in folders. Priority is now: 1) mp3 embedded if bigger than 300x300, 2) any *.jp(e)g file in track's dir or parent dir, if bigger than 300x300, 3) internet search

- Lots of small bugs - THANKS TO ALL THE TESTERS!

Thank you for your interest. I am still correcting some minor glitches - although the player is pretty stable, as Murphy predicted, as soon as I started recording this demo to impress you, I found some new (minor) bugs. Oh - I didn't mention - the app will upload crash reports to Bugsense, hope it is ok for everyone. Mind also that you shouldn't use it yet while roaming, it has no "data off" switch yet and with amount of cover data it downloads you can quickly be billed loads of money.

Oh, sorry for that. The image is a bit fuzzy, but I think in reality it looks a bit better:
