Re: [Announce] Music Player with Equalizer - symfonie
 

I was curious as well. Wondered if there was some performance overhead etc. Thats why I asked about you asking.

Now if you ask why I asked why you asked .... wait how many is that :)

Haha 9:
I thought you are dismissing my curiosity.

As far as I know, Python at least on PCs is written in C, and is very fast. I guess some portions of Python applications could be written in C / C++ to get better speed, but only heavy programmers would know how to spot those problems (:

Iv'e written applications in TCL/TK, which is by some considered a very inferior scripting language, and people are using those apps for more then 3 years. Among them are applications that are use to test networking aspects, and TCP.

So I wouldn't disrespect Python (not implying that you did ofc).

Cheers.
Eitam.

Could we have an option to have a visual nav (album / artist) or folder nav? Folder could also have an option to turn cover art on / off? I could also design custom buttons for the app as well as any other elements required.

Great music player,
almost a 100% replacement for the built in one.
all you need to do is bring in playlists and pre-set equalizer settings,

Re: [Announce] Music Player with Equalizer - symfonie
 

I have updated icons to Maemo's stock icons. The overall UI looks a lot better now. There's no need for icons now.

I am not planning to add album/artist navigation as this player will be solely directory based - though I am planning to parse media meta information for displaying. It is very likely in the future the ability to sort the songs in current folder by file name, artist name, album name, etc could be implemented.

These are on the way :). The play list thing will require some serious effort to make it happen.

Re: [Announce] Music Player with Equalizer - symfonie
 

Wonderful.. just wht im looking for , play files by folders . the main reason i love my cowon D2. ( apart from its sound quality)

, Thanks a lot.

Few suggestions -

1- file browser is going all the way to root , bin , sys, and everywhere. restricting it to Mydocs will be great.

2- option to save and load eq presets.

some more ideas to make it better -

-possible to make queue list ? like while im listening to one track let me choose which all tracks to follow.

-option to change the frequency levels on those 8 bands ( im little bit close to an audiophile , sorry )

- a simple bass and treble adjustment option. ( opps N900 is not an amp.)

Re: [Announce] Music Player with Equalizer - symfonie
 

Works great for me :)

I also have few suggestions :

- the album art instead of the yellow and pink file logo

-When I'm looking for a file in the list, the list can be moved from right to left that is making it difficult to control. Would it be posible to make it not moving ,

-When i'm in the list for files, i don't need to see the logo "play" "forward" "volume" ect... on the bottom. Would it be possible to hide them, to leave the maximum of space for the list ? we would see something like 25% more of the list that would be great, this is what we need at this moment.

- when playing the song, would it be possible to see the album art on the left and the songs list on the right ?

- the possibility to play "shuffle" for all the songs of all the files would be great

- in "landscape" "auto" "portrait", "auto" is always bringing me to landscape, any solution for this ?

- as said already, save the EQ

- file browser is going all the way to root , bin , sys, and everywhere. restricting it to Mydocs will be great.

- widget desktop would be nice

- having it working with the "Now Playing Notifications" app.

This is all for the moment :)
With all of this I'll never use again the default media player :)
Symfonie as default !

thanx a lot for your work !

Re: [Announce] Music Player with Equalizer - symfonie
 

If it's ok, I'd like to suggest a way of implementing playlists inspired by the way I use them in the PC. There I just drag and drop directories/files into the playlist window, so my suggestion is,

Create a second pane on the right for the playlist which can be resized by dragging a divisor, sort of like some filebrowsers work. You would select the directories on the left and add them to the playlist. You would also be able to select items on the playlist to remove them. Add a simple shuffle and repeat button and I think that's all you would need to make playlist management way easier than on the stock media player.
