Feature description

A one-to-many correspondence, possible to combine and exclude when filtering.

Why do you want this feature?

To organize them in a manner which embeds into the audio/music file, or via the file system as FossifyOrg/File-Manager#60 (comment) requests, but via the Notes GUI for the sake of accessibility to the technically less competent, and convenience for all, regardless of competence.

Affected app version

1.0.0

Affected Android/Custom ROM version

Android 7.1.2

Affected device model

Nokia 6 - TA-1033

How did you install the app?

Google Play Store

Steps to reproduce the bug

playlist example:

1. go to Playlists
2. Create new playlist from folder
3. select SDCARD folder with a few .mp3 or .ogg files
4. enter name for the playlist
5. watch the playlist appear but with 0 Tracks.
6. rescan media does nothing. waiting for days does nothing.

direct play example:

1. open Fossify File Manager
2. browse to SDCARD folder with a few .mp3 or .ogg files
3. double tab on one media file, open with Fossify Music Player
4. Music Player starts but plays the first song of the internal storage

Expected behavior

Music Player should open and load valid media files on my sdcard.

Actual behavior

hello,
I cannot get anything to load (into a playlist) or play from my sdcard. This is already an old issue since v5.4.4 of Simple Music Player: SimpleMobileTools/Simple-Music-Player#138 (comment)

But bear with me. What struck me today is that this is not logical since all other Fossify apps have no problem with accessing my sdcard. For example Gallery, Voice Recorder and File Manager.

When I try to open one music file on my sdcard from the Fossify File Manager then Fossify Music Player plays another song instead (the first one of my internal phone storage).
When I try to open a music file on my sdcard from the Fossify File Manager and select VLC there is no issue.
When I try to load any file or folder from sdcard into a playlist, nothing happens it stays stuck at 0 items.

Since my music collection on the sdcard is rather large (~2200 songs / 15GB) i tried adding one small folder ( < 10 ) or single file to a playlist. Nothing from the sdcard is successful.

So what is different between Music Player and the other Fossify apps that it cannot find and open anything from my sdcard?

Feature description

Currently, track covers are displayed in a, mostly, square format, with top and bottom cropped out for images that are "portrait" mode. (I listen to audiobooks on this app, and it shows only the center of the cover)

Diaplaying the full cover in these cases could be neat

Why do you want this feature?

I would like to be able to see the full cover when they are not "square-ish"

Additional information

I have made some "testing" changes that I'll include in a pull review so you can check what I mean. Something like:
Current:

Change already "working":

Optional? click on the cover image to expand, maybe? (work in progress, I need to get familiar with android stuff :) )

Feature description

Add a menu option to jump to a specific time.

Why do you want this feature?

When listening to long tracks, such as single track audio books, the track can be hours in length. Skipping to certain times becomes overly cumbersome if not impossible without a jump to or better seeking implementation.

This becomes apparent when the last listened to time is lost by the application and one must manually seek to specific hours and minutes back to the last location.

Additional information

Take for example how VLC implements this.

Feature description

Currently it is not possible to add the same song to the queue multiple times.

Why do you want this feature?

Sometimes I like to hear a currently playing song another time (maybe after another song played in between, so looping isn't an option).

Additional information

Reason should be this call to filter. Would be willing to remove it myself, but wanted to ask for insight, whether there is a technical reason for this.

Feature description

Add an option to configure the root directory where scanning for music occurs.

Why do you want this feature?

On Android systems, the root music directory is sdcard/Music. As is, the app scans the entire device for music. It would make sense to allow the user to configure which directory is scanned, so that they don't accidentally get some assets/voice recordings in their scanned directory.

Add the abillity to update album, artist, track name, composer, etc. from within the app. Potential steps:

1. Allow for a single file update.
2. Allow for bulk updates to album, artist, or composer

Why do you want this feature?

• If I rip a CD without having internet access and push files to the device, these files will not have the metadata.
• "bonus edition" ugh...
• If a CD is ripped and a track name has profanity, some CD databases will replace the profanity with asterisks, which can be distracting.

Feature description

Add a menu option 'Show Queue' (or similarly worded), which then starts the existing "Track queue" activitity.

Why do you want this feature?

Currently to show the tracks in the queue, you have to press the icon on the track bar at the bottom, then press the icon again for the 'next' item. When using the app for the first time, this was not obvious and I actually thought that it wasn't possible to see the queue at all. Having it within the menu, would allow users to easily jump to the queue in order to manipulate it / clear it / etc.

Feature description

An option to browse folders in the traditional way, as a tree structure. Then I can ask it to "play folder" which will play the entire tree structure of that folder. This may include having a chosen "root" or "default" directory/directories when I first click on the "Folders" tab. (#59 may be related).

Currently, the Folder browser appears to be a "flat" structure, where all of the lowest level directories that hold audio files are in one big list, and the higher level folders are not listed.

Why do you want this feature?

I have the standard use case of "play album" or "play artist". However I prefer to use the directory structure for this use case rather than tag based browsing.

Why not tags? Organizing a music library by tag accurately appears to be notoriously difficult for music players. I've always found some rapper "featured" on a track show up as another artist. This could be an issue with how my music is tagged, but fixing this by editing tags is not for everyone. Sorting by directory is much simpler. See: https://dustri.org/b/horrible-edge-cases-to-consider-when-dealing-with-music.html

(That said, for the stray music tracks I have not associated with any album, tag based browsing is a good idea)

When pressing the "pause" button while a song is playing, the music is faded out very quick. Similar to pressing play, it is faded in very quickly.
I would like to have a longer fading time, e.g. via a settings option.

I want use my phone to play ambient music on a stage during performances, and want to stop playing the music when the current performance ends - but not as abrupt as it is now. The music shall slowly fade out.

Affected app version

1.0.0

Affected Android/Custom ROM version

Android 14 GrapheneOS 2024050300

Affected device model

Pixel 7 Pro

How did you install the app?

F-Droid / IzzyOnDroid

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Play media
2. Stop playing the media
3. Leave the app in the background for a long inactive period, I have reproduced this when leaving it overnight but the time could be less
4. After inactivity period, but with the last media app used still being the music player, connect Bluetooth headphones
5. Start playing music by tapping the play button on the Bluetooth headphones
6. Nothing plays and manually trying to open the music app leads to a black screen on the app.

Expected behavior

Pressing play using Bluetooth controls, even after a long inactivity period, should summon and play the last media player. Given in my case the last player is the Fossify Music Player it should summon the app to start playing the last played media. It should not crash the app as it currently does.

As of right now I have to manually force stop the app and reopen to get it to play again.

Actual behavior

Pressing play on my Bluetooth headphones does not start playing music from the Fossify Music Player. Nothing happens and when I go to manually open the app it is unresponsive and shows a black screen.

I must force stop the app and reopen to get it to play again.

Screenshots/Screen recordings

Additional information

Happens on both small music / audiobook files as well as 10+ hour audiobook files

Feature description

It looks like this for example from Simple Music Player where i can choose either the app's equalizer or the system equalizer, depending on the album im listening to

Why do you want this feature?

I sometimes have to go to the settings to change the main equalizer when i listen to a different music album, so i thought this feature idea would be convenient

Feature description

Please add support for synced lyrics in the app

Why do you want this feature?

My library contains mp3 tracks with syncronized (mostly) lyrics in this format:

[00:00.43] line 1
[00:04.75] line 2
[00:08.50] line 3

Would be great if Fossify Music Player could show it in a karaoke manner

Feature description

Add 'Album Artists' to managed tabs. By defealt it is unchecked. In the list of managed tabs it should be added between 'Folders' and 'Artists'. The information for this is found in the MP3 ID3 tags.

The FOSS app Vanilla Music also offers this and 'Composers' too. Please add this managed tab too please, default unchecked and in between 'Files' and 'Album Artists' or simply below 'Genres' as you see fit.

Why do you want this feature?

Users with a curated music collection that has metadata on album artist or composer can navigate more quickly and play music taking more advantage of what ID3 tags offer.

Additional information

This relative easy extension of functionality will place this app in a better position compared to other music apps.

Optionally the managed tab 'Year' could be added too. With album_artist, year and composer this app will cater to a larger user group, including more DJs, producers and audiophiles.

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Have a file (format doesn't matter) without track number metadata (e.g. any WAV file, recordings from Voice Recorder, notification sounds from phone etc.)
2. Go to albums tab
3. Open album/directory with file from step 1

Expected behavior

If track number metadata is not set, it shouldn't be displayed at all.

Actual behavior

0 is displayed as a track number.

Screenshots/Screen recordings

Fossify Music Player showing an "album" with notification sounds from Slack app:

Additional information

In my opinion, 0 isn't the same as no data provided, that's why it shouldn't be the default value.

Feature description

When the app starts or the device resumes from sleep while the app is running, add an optional setting to delay checking media before it decides that the media files have been removed, and removes those items from the library, requiring a manual 'rescan media' to bring them back.

Why do you want this feature?

I have been using this on my phone for a while and it's an awesome app. I have recently put an Atoto S8 android head unit in my van and the app installs on there, and plays music well, but I get this issue with the library every time the engine is turned off and started again.
It's probably something about the way the head unit mounts media, rather than the app, but I feel like there will be other devices that don't make the media available as soon as the device wakes up. I was thinking if it's possible it would be good to add an option in the app settings for a delay when the head unit wakes up, or when the app resumes, to allow the head unit some time to set up the USB storage before the app decides the files are no longer available.

Additional information

I listen to a lot of long mixes, 2+ hours each. When the engine is turned off, the screen goes off but the unit is still powered. Then when the engine is started the screen wakes up again. But each time it takes about 10 seconds for the head unit to mount the external USB memory stick that I have plugged in. So on every engine start, the app forgets what it was playing previously, removes all the previously discovered media and shows no tracks available to play. I then have to do 'rescan media' in the app menu, wait for it to complete, then browse to the track I was playing before, then locate the time section in the track where it was at. It sometimes does resume playing from mid-track, but most times it starts playing from the beginning.

Feature description

Pressing in the back/previous button either by tapping or by using headphones should first replay the song ( start from 00:00 ) , and if pressed again within 10 seconds of the song being replayed it should switch to the previous song.

Why do you want this feature?

1. Muscle memory.
2. It's already integrated in other music player apps such as : Youtube Music , Spotify, Soundcloud, InnerTune, NewPipe, PipePipe, etc.

Additional information
