[APP] Mobile Media Manager -[U] 4-10-2013 -[R] 3-22-2012

I have made a media player for windows phone and the goal of it is to expand on features that other media players don't have (including the default zune player) and improve on the faults that other media players have.
This media player is designed to give you a better music listening experience than what the default Zune player offers.
Changelog
v2.0.1: fixed bug where the button to move an item up in the playlist editor wasn't working; miscellaneous fixes
v2.0: major code revision for a smoother experience; new buttons for playback controls; ability to save items in Now Playing when app is closed and reopened (paid version); fix for import from now playing bug with new (blank) playlist in playlist editor; easily rename custom playlists
v1.4: can pin playlist to home screen as live tile (via playlist editor loading menu); fixed song fetching function bug where app would crash if artist name didn't match albums; fixed import from now playing bug which crashes app; fixed state restore bug; fixed performance-related bugs
v1.3: delete items from playlist or now playing via popup menu (press and hold); added feature to set a picture in your albums as the player background; fixed performance-related bugs
v1.2: fixed bug in which app would crash while in the playlist editor if you navigated away from the app and then navigated back to it; fixed song import from zune playing queue bug; fixed performannce-related bugs
v1.1: first free-version release
Features include:
* big buttons
* landscape support
* search music library for any artist, album, or song
* ability to shift song order in Now Playing or a Playlist
* playlist creation/editing
* (partial) integration with existing playlists synced through Zune
* ability to see contents of more than one album at once
* run under the lockscreen
* ability to set a picture in your picture albums as player background
* ability to set a playlist as a live tile on the home screen
Future improvements include fetching album art from Amazon.com and more icon sets. Expansion to video and streaming audio is also included in the roadmap.
Suggestions for improvements and new features are always (and definitely) welcome and can submitted at the product support page, http://catholictechgeek.blogspot.com/p/mobile-media-manager.html.
This is a free version.

I will take any and all suggestions for improvement (both the free version and the paid version). If you find something, please post either on the support page or here in this thread. If you like my media player, please rate it on the marketplace.
Warning: After uploading the current version to the marketplace, I discovered that the bug with importing songs into a playlist from the Now Playing which causes the program to crash is back. This only happens if you try to import from Now Playing for a blank playlist (nothing had been added or removed yet). A workaround for this is to add a song to the playlist in the playlist editor (even if you aren't going to add it to your playlist), and then import from Now Playing and remove the song you added (if you don't want to keep it). This bug is present in both the paid version and the free, ad-supported version. I am very sorry for this and I will be uploading a fixed version to the marketplace for certification as soon as possible.
Update(4-2-2012): Version with bug fix currently in apphub certification
Update(5-22-2012): even though it's been out in the marketplace for a couple weeks, Version 1.4 is now out for both paid and free, ad-supported versions
Update(2-26-2013): It's been awhile since I last updated this post with the current status of Mobile Media Manager, but the latest version out is version 2.0.1 (for both free and paid versions). I am planning to release a new (maintenance) version soon (but it does have some new stuff in it too), so I need some testers who can give me some helpful input on how to improve.

-- Reserved--

So is there anything I can improve on (besides the bugs mentioned above)??

Thanks, good app

Yeah, I got some inspiration for the UI from Windows Media Player mobile in Windows Phone 6.5 (Windows Mobile 6.x).

thanks for the app....but i have a question...
can you add the ability to search and find music in other folder in wp7??? i mean like the songs that we reseve via bluetooth...(it goes to my document...or some other folder...)
if you could just add this ability to find mp3 file in other folder (except zune folder) it'll be gr8....(but i think MS won't let you do that.... )

I am currently working on importing from skydrive, but I am just starting on that part. I am also trying to figure out a way to stram audio from the internet (via url given by user). If someone could please direct me to the skydrive api documentation for windows phone, that would be much appreciated.

Would really appreciate it if you can implement a graphic equalizer. I think that's what Zune sorely misses.

Ok, first, I don't think I it's possible to do an equalizer yet programatically. As for folders other than the default program folder or media library, I don't think Microsoft will let me do that.
Also, version 1.4 for both the paid and the free version is now in certification and should be out, pending Microsoft Apphub approval. Version 1.4 will come with support for live tiles.

trying to create playlist, then the application turn me to wp7.5
in 2 versions
omnia i8350W
or if i can put two songs on the list once i come back then the application closes
or if i choose to put on the list {if i can create} an entire album then the application closes

thanks, good app

have you tried?
Don't working normally in Samsung omnia w and in the background the playlist does not switch the SONGS
the application usually collapses

Version 1.4 is now out for both paid and free, ad-supported versions.

Good app . Thanks .

I am currently looking for some beta testers to help improve Mobile Media Manager. If you would like to help, please pm me with your windows live id (and whether your phone is running Windows Phone 7.x or Windows Phone 8).
A new version will be out in a few days which fixes problems with the current version (and also has some new stuff as well).

Version 2.1 has been released for the free version (the paid version update will be following shortly). This version is largely a bug fix version and (for this release) I have removed the limit of 8 songs to a playlist for the fee version. In this release, I have fixed the bug with (quick) playing a system playlist from its live tile. The next version of Mobile Media Manager will have a new splash screen and better support for Windows Phone 8 (now that I finally have some new hardware).

Thanks to XDA Developer hrk!
[APP][1.1][Aug 28th] DCIM Helper: make your device DCIM compliant!
IMPORTANT: after an update, be sure to turn on the app, as Play Store turs it off!
Do you hate when iPhoto won't show the pictures you shot with your Android device, but it works fine with your friend's HTC Sense device? Why is that?!?
That's simply because Google's camera does not comply with the DCIM standard, used by every other Digital Camera in the world (HTC Sense does it!) and properly recognized by iPhoto.
With this app, your Android device will be able to comply and iPhoto will display and import your pictures.
FEATURES:
- Hassle free "Configure once and forget forever!"
- Works with any picture taking app, not just the stock Android Camera!
- "Automagic" background moving of newly taken shots into the proper folder. No need to open the app each time you connect to iPhoto.
- Fully DCIM compliant and fully Android MediaServer compliant (pictures will not vanish from the Gallery).
- If you don't feel like moving, you can select to copy the pictures (but don't forget to check your free space!)
- ON/OFF switch to quickly enable or disable the app.
- Supported picture format: JPG, JPEG, PNG.
- Supported movie format: 3GP, M4A, M4V, MOV.
- Supports Windows, Linux and Mac OS X hosts (don't worry about Thumbds.db, ._IMG0001.jpg files and so on!)
ADVANCED FEATURES (which require a once-in-a-lifetime donation):
- Multiple folder monitoring: if you use Third Party apps (Camera MS, ICS Camera, ...) you can move/copy their pictures as well! Just add their folder to the monitored list.
For more information about the DCIM standard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_...ra_File_system
DOWNLOADS
The app is available for free on Google Play Store.
CHANGELOG
2012-08-28 - 1.1
- Added support for MP4 movies.
- Added Homescreen Widget to quickly toggle the app ON/OFF (1x1, 2x1) and display the current number of pictures and movies processed by the app (2x1 only).
2012-08-25 - 1.0
- First public release.
- Support for themes (dark, light, light & dark).
- Automatic discovery of right folders on first launch.
- Option to monitor multiple folders (Donation required).
PLANNED FEATURES
- Translations: if you want to contribute, you can submit your own translation to http://www.getlocalization.com/DCIMHelper/. If I feel like it, I may give you a special package enabling extra features as a thank you... but the translation has to be good!
- A homescreen widget to turn on/off the service (without having to open the app)
- Optionally rename 3GP, MOV, M4V, etc files to MP4.
- Improve auto-discovery on devices using "_externalSD" hack.

[Q] Things to know before beginning a music player app for WP8

First of all, hello to everybody. I have just joined xdaDevelopers.
To business now..
I recently bought my first Windows Phone (Nokia Lumia 520). One of the reasons for getting it was for developing my own WP8 apps.
I would like to start with a music player app - one that can play mp3 files from phone memory and SD card; arrange songs according to name, albums and artists; create playlists; have capabilties of fast foward and rewind (seeking); and recognise album arts.
What do I need to know before I can start building it?
I have zero experience in app development; I am a web designer.
I noticed that there are very few "polished" music players (which function properly as well as have a nice UI) in the WP store. Any particular reason for that (other than the platform being relatively new)?
I created this post mainly because the lack of quality music players appeared a bit strange to me. I have heard that a particular file type can be accessed by only one app (please correct me if I am wrong). So does it mean that one has to somehow uninstall the default music player in order to use the newly downloaded one?
For instance, I have "Adobe Reader" which can read PDFs from my MicroSD card. But the "PDF Reader" app (which I installed just yesterday) cannot even find them! So I had to uninstall the latter.
So I wanted to know if there was something about WP8 that doesn't allow such things - if these "security measures", which render apps like file managers less useful, are also responsible for the lack of music players in this otherwise very fantastic platform.
Please note that I come from Android, and am very new to Windows Phone platform. So kindly point out if there's something incorrect about my assumptions.
Thanks and regards.

Hi,
Welcome to Windows Phone. The Lumia 520 is a great choice in my humble opinion. In regards to why there are so few music apps, there are probably several reasons. One such is the fact, that the easiest way to make one is to integrate with the built-in music features, which however limits you in several ways, like not being able to add more file types, not being able to customize the experience too much, playlisting is limit as far as I know, which basically puts you in the position, that the only actual improvement you can do upon that is implementing a new streaming service. The other route is to implement your own music player, but then you're going to have issues making it work in the background (not to mention, that implementing a music player isn't entirely simple).

1. Make sure you have hardware for it. I recommend a minimum of Windows 8 Pro 64bit, but you can find instructions for Windows 7 on this forum as well. You'll need VT-x support on your CPU, plenty of RAM.
2. Download and install the WP8 SDK.
3. Once you open Visual Studio, you can start by creating a new project, you'll need a UI project (I recommend Windows Phone App or HTML5 App templates) and a music playback project (WP Audio Playback Agent -OR- WP Audio Streaming Agent).
4. For tutorials on how to get started I usually go to Pluralsight.com, because I have a subscription there, and they're plain awesome, but I'm sure there are a bunch of other sources as well, which are for free.

If you have both Adobe Reader and PDF Reader installed, once you tap on a PDF file (say after downloading one in IE) an option should appear for you to select which app you wanna open it with.

You can install and use as many audio/music apps you like, but obviously only one can have the background music feature used at one time. (You can only have one music playing in the background).
Also:
"Developers must pay an annual subscription fee of $99, (this, according to Todd Brix, the General Manager for Windows Phone Apps and Store team, is currently on an ongoing promotion at $19) to become an App Hub member and submit apps to the Windows Phone Store. There's no limit on the number of free submissions for paid apps. There's a limit of 100 free submissions for free apps; thereafter, there's a fee of $19.99 per submission for free apps." - Wikipedia
Hope I helped, and happy coding!
:fingers-crossed:

@TheGoldrocker: Thank you for your reply. It did clear up quite a few things.
As of now, I am okay with "integrating with the built-in music features" as you said.
What I want to do is modify the UI and UX a bit. Some of the features can be as follows -
1. Introducing a scroll bar;
2. Option to get rid of the grouping system by name;
3. Control over the font size;
4. Allowing the currently playing song to continue if I select the song (currently it starts playing from the beginning);
5. Enabling the seeking feature (tapping the timeline of the song so as to play from that point of time);
6. Having a tile feature in the start screen with options to pause, change song, etc (number of options would depend upon the length of the song);
7. Showing the album art of the currently playing song in the tile;
8. Having an animated background in the app (just a wide photo which slowly slides from left to right).
Am I allowed to do the above?

You're welcome.
"Integrating with the built-in music features" doesn't mean you get to rewrite the UI/functionality of the current Music+Videos app. What it means is, you get to use the built-in classes for simplifying music playback in your new app. You'll still have to build up a new UI around your classes, you'll also have to write quite a few lines of code for the playback functionality (but obviously way less than if you tried to write your own music player from scratch).
Now sadly I cannot answer all of your questions with absolute certainty, because I haven't tried writing a music player yet, but I'll give them a shot.
I numbered your list:

1. Yes, since you'll have to make a new UI from scratch, and you'll have the ability to include any logic behind it you want.
2. Yes, the grouping can be avoided AFAIK.
3. Same as 1.
4. Same as 1.
5. Don't think so. Someone else with more knowledge will have to answer this to be sure, though.
6. If you mean a tile on the start screen, which, when tapped will play/stop/next/prev/whatever and STAY on the start screen? No. Tiles (sadly) always open a program (even if for only a millisecond). You can use this for deeplinking to favorite songs/playlists/streaming services though, which is cool.
7. Same as 1.
8. Same as 1.
Hope I helped.

Thank you for your reply.

By "deeplinking", do you mean pinning songs to the start screen by 'long pressing' on them?
I do hope that Microsoft introduces interactive tiles in some future update. Sort of start screen widgets.

Deeplinking is launching an app with a link toward a specific page with parameters. Imagine it as a URL to a specific page on a website. If your app and pages support it, you could tap on a tile (say on the start screen), which opens your app, and instantly navigates to a playlist, album, song, whatever you made that tile link to.
Pinning items to the start screen can be triggered by anything you want. You, the coder, decides how you're gonna allow the user to pin their songs/albums/playlists/artists/whatever.
Here's a little tutorial on this topic:

Okay, thanks. I'll have a look at that.

To make a media player for windows phone is to know insanity.
Why we no join forces?
There are a couple fo things the guys here forgot to tell you:
You can not read Mp3 files from SD card.
You can not read mp3 files from the user music folder.
You only have access to web resources or your app's isolated storage.
You basically have to engineer a way to get them to the app storage.

Well, that's why I will try to "integrate with the built-in music features". Hopefully it will be okay then.
I am not trying to make the next best thing in the music player app category.
I am just trying to make one which has a slightly different UI and is able to play mp3s.
Sort of a project of mine.
By the way, can someone please tell me if I can use technologies like HTML5 to create this app? Actually I don't know C#.
Or should I learn C# before attempting this app?

There are too many limitations to explain. You will see.
Yes, learn C#

Okay.
