Well, for one, the "Random" shuffle now actually randomly shuffles, rather than a sequential play as previous...

Downloading now and testing!

yup less CPU usage..

Does this new version have file browsing? (I'm at work so I can't install it to see for myself right now)

Hi Peter

Great work. I still see some delay in albumcovers showing up, when I scroll my albumcollection (~250 albums). Would it be possible to preload the covers in some way?
And when I choose an album, the cover doesn't show up in front of every song, but when I start playing one of the songs, the cover shows up after a short delay. How the come the albumcover doesn't 'cover' all the songs in an album immediately?

Can also confirm better CPU utilization than before. Instinctiv is at about 20% and pulseaudio is about 10% while playing a track.

Scrolling the Artist/Song/Album list is incredibly fast now.

Also saw the short delay in some album art being rendered but it did eventually.

Still only have the small subset of songs issue in "Play songs similar to list".

Nice progress Peter and team.

Now onto gapless playback, right? lol

The only annoyance I'm noticing with instinctiv is that it's not picking up my entire music library, I've got a split library on the micro sd and internal memory, looks like it's only picking up one of them.

About the NEW update....less CPU usage and it loads up the program a bit faster...(not instant but noticeably faster, as fast as the default media player). Also scroll faster!

Problem I have:

1. No cache...so every time you start the program....it reloads the arts all over again and you have to wait.
2. No other features added like landscape mode or repeat mode or ability to delete a song from playlist.

So basically, this update is just CPU improvement from what i noticed.

Thanks for the update!

This^ version works very well. For me, it's a keeper.


Although I've asked and I'm sure you answered in the many pages of this thread, I'm still not sure what tag it uses for cover art, where it gets it, how often it looks for it, and where it stores it when it has it...

I don't care how you do it just as long as I understand it so that I can change incorrect covers.

All my images for MP3's are embedded into the file itself but I know it doesn't use them.

All my albums are ripped to 192/WMA format and although I have an image in each album folder called cover.jpg, it doesn't use that either.

The thing is, some of my MP3 are personal recordings of bands and some of the bands were indies and cowboys (and girls) well before MP3's, digital music, and Meta tags were even imagined.

Again, it doesn't much matter to me how you do it, just as long as I can understand it in order to work with it, dig?

Is there a FAQ, WiKi, or other online document you can point me too.?

I'll invest the time to get it right as I think this is a quite stable and fast version and an excellent portrait mode, music player.

Thanks, BTW.

First of all, great app and thank you!
I am especially impressed with the portrait mode and the fact that the player retrieves the album arts for my music!
I think the only thing that I am missing from the original media player, is the functionality to shuffle within the directory i am in. eg: Shuffle all songs by a certain artist.
Once again, Thank you

EDIT: Seems like the shuffle already works somehow, not entirely sure :$

Fix the reloading of albumart everytime.
Also fix that albumarts dont show for albums that contain for example " ´ " and åäö, shurely othe langues specific chars.

After that I think ist ready.
