[APP][4.2+] Pulse Music Player

[steppie]

Hello,
Just came across the App today, and after a short time, I'm really liking it a lot. Just wanted to provide some feedback...

1) I'm using an HTC 10 with Marshmallow (6.0.1). I clicked to become a Tester, but when I tried to download the App from the App Store, I got an error stating that my device is not compatible. I had to download it from another source (yes, I know, very bad.)
2) Under the Albums Tab, there's no option to sort by the Album Artist. I currently have it sorted by Artist, and have several compilation albums that are being sorted by one of the Track Artists, not the Album Artists.
3) Along the lines of the above, there's a minor cosmetic bug... under the Album Tab, when setting the Sort Order, 'Artist Z -A' appears twice. Seems like the first one should be 'Artist A-Z'


Thank you.

Hey thanks for the feedback.

1) other users have reported something similar. I can't really do anything about it. Usually it takes some time to become available after you've clicked become a tester.

2) Good suggestion maybe a tricky one to implement but I'll add it to the list.

3) Hmm I am not seeing this issue. I see Artist A-Z and then Artist Z-A

Great app so far, switching my default music player after I used this player. My suggestion can you add sleep timer? And add folder based database music because my ringtones show up in the player, had to blacklist it but sorry to say it's inconvenient. Btw thanks for the great apps

A sleep timer is on the todo list.

I'm not going to change the way the database works to a folder based system. Its a huge job. The application has progressed too far for this. You can just white list your music folder and not bother about blacklisting individual songs you don't want to appear in the library.

Thanks for the feedback

Hi. The app has really improved since last. Crossfade works now with no issues. If I'm mistaken , the app had many "now playing" layouts. But now, I can't find them. Another suggestion: make triple headphones button tap first rewind the current track, then play the previous track. Currently, it straight plays the previous track. No other complaint. Good job.

Glad to hear that. Development of crossfade has given me many issues.

Yes there are currently two now playing layouts. You can switch between them by going to Settings>Artwork>Full Screen Album Art.

I'm eventually planning on making the headset buttons customisable. It'll get there some day. Hopefully soon.

After using the app for a while, I've found two issues :
1. Headphone button responsiveness is hit or miss. Sometimes they just don't work
2. Sometimes, the music stops playing.

1) I noticed this one recently. I think the last update may have screwed with that. I'll get around to fixing that pretty soon.

2)How does this happen. Does it just pause or does it stop and the notification disappear?

Why am I getting this? Nexus 6P

It pauses but the notification remains showing that music is playing. In order to resume, you have to either play next/last or pause/play.

Follow up on the bug where music unexpectedly stops.
After testing, I think it's caused by the headphone button bug. Specifically, sometimes if I double press to skip, playback will pause, but player will still show that music is still playing.
Feature request. When you have the time, add a custom lockscreen. For us using Huawei phone that don't display music controls on the lockscreen.
