Music Player (Remix) 2.0 sneak preview - Part 1/2

Music Player (Remix) 2.0 is the next generation music listening experience on webOS and will be available later this year in the app catalog. A public beta has been released as a homebrew app and can be downloaded here: http://www.precentral.net/homebrew-apps/music-player-remix-20-beta

This is part 1 of a 2 part video series that showcases Music Player (Remix) 2.0 which is currently in development.

The following exciting features are discussed in this video series:

- "Faves" are items you can pin to your home screen for one-touch easy access. They can be songs, albums, artists, genres, playlists, or flylists.

- The ability to re-order the music library items list

- "Flylists" are playlists you create and manage on-the-fly, on your device. You can add songs, albums, artists, genres, or playlists to a flylist. And items in a flylist will update dynamically when you add new songs to your device.

- Configuration icons at the top of the screen to force the screen to stay on while using the music app and to lock screen orientation (portrait or landscape).

- Sleep timer configurable on the home screen

- Newly designed "now playing" screen with finger-friendly music controls, scrolling song/artist/album info, and scrubber bar.

- Function icons at the top of the "now playing" screen for returning to the home screen, adding the current song to a flylist or the faves list, viewing lyrics, saving a bookmark, and viewing the current playlist.

- Ability to scrub through the current song from the "current playlist" view.

- Ability to queue up the next song by tapping on an icon next to a song in the "current playlist" view.

- "Playlist Preview Mode" which allows you to swipe the screen left or right to browse your current playlist via the album art without interrupting the playback of the current song. You can also queue up a song to play next by swiping up.

- "Quick artist search" - Tapping on the song/artist/album info on the "now playing" screen will bring up the albums of the artist. You can do this in playlist preview mode as well.

- "Universal search" - A revolutionary way to quickly find your music by simply typing. Instantly all songs, albums, artists, genres, playlists, and flylists that match your search string will appear on the screen. You can either start a new playlist with one of your search results or tap the "+" icon next to a result to add the item to the current playlist, save it to a flylist, or save it as a fave.

- Control your music and current playlist via keyboard controls

- "Mini-player" - Using webOS's unique notification system in a way never before implemented in a webOS app, you now have complete control over your music while using other apps. You have a scrubber bar, music controls, and the playlist preview controls.

- Wallpaper customization - Assign a custom wallpaper image for Music Player (Remix) or use the one assigned on your device and make the app's card semi-transparent when minimizing it.

For some reason this will not let me download the beta for this on precentral or preware. I also tried the 1st one and it would not let me. Any suggestions?

[HedamiSoft]

@XxCODEBREAKERSxX The PreCentral homebrew app feed is having issues. You can follow PreCentral on Twitter to get an update of when it will be back up.

[XxCODEBREAKERSxX]

@HedamiSoft I tried again and twitter said precentral would be back up about an hour ago or two. I tried downloading Music Player Remix 2.0 and it would say error. I tried to download Music Player Remix (the first one) and there is no file found!

[HedamiSoft]

@XxCODEBREAKERSxX The first version of Music Player (Remix) is no longer available. Only the 2.0 Beta is available. If you're still having download issues, then the PreCentral feed may not be up. I'd give them until tomorrow. If it's still not working, try contacting them.

can u plz explain how to add a song lyrics?

when i click on lyrics icon it says "unable to find lyrics of this song".

I want to add lyrics of the same song

[HedamiSoft]

@viksrules83 Lyrics are pulled from lyrics.wikia.com. So you can go to that site on your computer and add them. Make sure the artist and song name are spelled exactly like they're spelled on your phone.

@TheMrAinsworth If an app is using official APIs, then yes it would be approved.
