Oh and Nice work on added customizations!!
and 1 more thing, could you please increase the font size of jumplists? It appears so small while selection from alphabets
Can you pleeeeeeeease add a soft key search button in the next update. I have a galaxy nexus with over 400 songs and no good way to select them or playlist individually
How does the Last.fm scrobbling work? Because right now only the tracks I’ve listened when online seem to have scrobbled and it hasn’t scrobbled tracks listened when offline and I can’t find a cache or anything either.
Hi, Firstly, a great job!
As others have complained before, Zplayer force closes when i try to access info abt albums and artists.
Btw, it will work smoothly on HTC explorer right? please!
Hi There, this feature existed earlier, but I have reverted to an App called WP7 lock. This Application works with ZPlayer to display artist images on the lockscreen.
first of all, you do a great job with developing this nice media player. But there are some things, which I would like to see in this app so I can use it throughout the day. Is it possible to add embedded lyrics in the “now playing” section, because I need this for singing to my music? Maybe like in other players with a tap on the album art. It’s definitely better than searching lyrics instantly over the web, because most of the people don’t handle their music library on the smartphone. So one can do this in the desktop software.
Also the navigation to the “now playing” section is a little bit difficult to find. A menu or a button would be great for that.
And is it possible to size up the album art, so it fits the screen better than the app now does. I’m using a S3 and the album art is really tiny compared to other players. If these features could be implemented your player would be the best and smoothest on the market.
I’m loving this app. I would like to see #nowplaying for twitter integration, that would be totally cool. I’m having the same issue than the other, Zplayer keeps force closing but I’m loving with that so whatever.

I’m not picky. Love everything about the player and interface. Only thing I would LOVE to see is landscape mode. Keep up the great work!
Please make this app works fine on HTC Explorer, same issue with forced closing, this is the best player for an android device, and I would love to use it. And yes, when is next update??
Please solve the issue
hi there. i love the app. however, when i try to change my screen resolution, it force closes. i have galaxy mini and when i adjust the screen resolution, it force closes. i mean, it works on other devices with large resolution, i wont it work with mine. thanx..
Hi, O love this app but whenever I turn on Wifi or Data, it force closes. Please fix. Running Jelly Bean on Xperia Ray. But I guess JB isn’t the problem.
Hello. I have the same problem. Force close when on the internet, I think it might be in the background images…Maybe this is somehow related to Sony Ericsson 2011 devices as I’m using one too and I’ve seen quite a lot of people..
What a fantastic player! I discovered it via the “Noozy” clone, but Zplayer is *far* better than that. Glad to pay the £1.98 to buy it!
Just one question: I’m running Zplayer on a Galaxy Note 2 and I’ve yet to see the lockscreen widget – it never appears on my phone. Any idea if there’s a reason for this?
Best,
StuPC
I’ve been running it for a longtime and the lockscreen has never shown up on my Note… I think it’s cause the Note and Note 2 have a different lockscreen layout
Congratulations for your music player, it’s awesome! But I have a problem with the podcasts because I can’t find some of the podcasts I listen to. Could you add an option to add the rss link manually or maybe sync to google reader (former google listen).
Also I miss an option to automatically download all album/artist artwork and lyrics for all songs.
Cool. Doesn’t Force close anymore. I’m really happy with it. Just few suggestions and bugs.
1. When I leave ZPlayer from Now Playing, it stays on my status bar and I cannot get rid of it. It would be nice if you could add like a little cross to end it. Like Apollo has.
2. A Holo color theme. Not important.
3. After doing something in the settings, when I press back, it doesn’t close the settings but just takes me to the options I’ve been in before. Quite Annoying.
4. Lyrics really slow. It would be great if I could just download all of them at once, when I’m on Wi-fi for example.
5. The option to change album cover.
6. It would be nice if you could add this kind of elastic effect when at the end of scrolling like Uber Music has or iPhone
Please make the lockscreen controls work with WidgetLocker. Or make a widget that automatically hides when there’s no music playing.
Also +1 to Fan Tomas’s suggestion to add an x in the notification to close the app (like Google Music).
Please add support for unsynced lyrics (embedded lyrics) in the player if they are available. It’s better than downloading it for every song. I save my lyrics inside the mp3 so every media player could use them.
Seconded – a bit more variety in those background images would be great. Could we have an option to choose the number of different images to find?
And fix missing lockscreen widget on the Note 2, please.
Hello – How can I remove ghost genres? I uninstalled and reinstalled the apk but they are still there. I deleted all my music and reinstalled only one CD and there are a bunch of nonsense genres there that I want removed? Whats the path to find whats remembering these so I can delete them? Otherwise this is awesome!!!!!
Hi, I installed the player yesterday.
I started the app and got the menu with music / radio / podcast / etc….
I try to enter the music menu, but not possible. I try podcast, and also not possible. It means, I am not able to enter any menu.
Any ideas about to solve this problem?
I’m using a Galaxy Note with Android 4.0.4
Thanks!
In Podcast section sometimes I choose to download some episodes, but when I try to play it streams it instead. Also when I sync all my Podcasts to my phone its all disorganized in Zplayer, it just dumps it in Music section, and it’s not even in the Podcast section.
I tried it, nice GUI and sound but not as configurable as I’d like. Can’t correct wrong album art, etc. I tried this app but by the time it scanned my library and became operational, the 15 minute refund window had lapsed ..so RIPPED OFF!!! Hey it’s $3.95, not gonna kill me but it’s the principle that irks me.
Back to the old standard ans still the bes PlayerPro
first of all: great work. I’ve just noticed zplayer and I have to say: Awesome! Nice Features, great settings and an stylish UI. But one question left: How can I really quit the player? If I close by pushing back-softbutton it’s still remaining in my notification-bar …
A problem with Zplayer on my Note 2 is that when the screen is off the music tends to stick/jump every few seconds. Not always, but often enough to be quite annoying.
Have you had reports of this from anyone else or on any other phones?
Best,
StuPC
Hi,
I deleted songs on my phone, but theses songs are still in the ZPlayer music list.
Is the music list synchronisation with file on the phone automatic?
I wanted to start a brand new installation, then I deleted all my file, and again the same issue, it show all the old deleted file. Any ideas how to clean up everything before to make a new installation?
Thx

Love the player, well worth the money! And it’s good to see the dev supporting his work (Yes I’m looking at you UberMusic. I won’t buy another of Mr Carnales’ products).
Anyway, I have a feature request: can compilation albums be handled differently? I have a compilation where for each track the tagged Artist is the actual artist and the Album Artist is ‘Various Artists’. But in the album list each disc shows under the Artist of the last track.
It’d be great if the player grouped all the compilation albums under Various Artists (and there was an option whether the individual artists and songs were showed in the respective lists)
(And I think there’s a small bug in this area – if I click on the artist name in playback the biog shows that last artist rather than the one for the currently playing artist.)
I recently updated my HTC OneX(tegra3) to Android4.1 and since then whenever there are 2 sources of sound (e.g. whatsapp notification while playing music) the song will “buzz” for a few seconds. This problem only affects zplayer(i also tried stock and doubletwist) so I turn to you for help! I already reseted my phone and reinstalled the app but the problem still persist. Is there any remedy? thanks!
Hi, ive been a huge fan of this app. Is it possible to implement a folders tab or a directory type of playing? And it could be better if this player has some sort of sleep timer.
Oh man, if you had Google Music support on this, it would take it to another level! I’m not too sure how you would incorporate that though. Seems tricky.
Also, if you’re still developing the tablet version, I’d be happy to test it out and give some feedback.
I have the ASUS TF700T.
Lastly, I just wanted to say thanks again. I use this app every single day of my life.

It would be nice to introduce some gesture controls, using the proximity sensor. I saw this feature in another player, in which you can pause and even skip songs just by passing your hand in front of the screen. Check it out:

[Bug report]
ZPlayer won’t play MP4 videos in both of my ICS devices. It works perfectly fine on Jelly Bean, though.
HTC Sensation XL w/Android 4.0.3
Nexus S w/Android 4.0.4

Need to correct my bug report. I installed Android 4.1.2 on my Nexus S and it still won’t play the MP4 video files. It appears only my Galaxy S3 will play the video files on ZPlayer.

I would like to know of a video converter that will make compatible video files that will play on all Androids. Thanks

Thanks for the latest update to ZPlayer. It now allows the thumbnails to appear on my Sensation XL, but the video files still won’t play. And no effect on my Nexus S w/JB.

I finally found a specification for my video converting program that puts out small-sized, compatible video files to play in ZPlayer.

Love your app but have a few issues:
1) i use the app in the note 2 to play music via bta in my car. First open app and no audio can be heard thru car speakers. What i do is i open stock note 2 player and play a song then pause. I then switch back to zplayer and press play and the audio will be heard in the car.
2) song title is not outputted on car’s head unit over bta. When i use sock note 2 player the song title will display
Not really deal breakers but would love to see these fixed in your next update.
Few suggestions:
1- Increasing the font size of title, artist and … in now playing.
2- I want to access my music library from now playing quickly. If pressing the menu button shows some options including music library instead of going directly to preferences it will be faster than double tap.
3- Adding a search button
4- Adding play and pause and next and previous track to the notification bar.
5- Adding an option to remove genres or … from music. I don’t use genres, songs or playlists to find a track and without them browsing between artists and albums become faster.
Thanks
I’ve been using it for quite a while now, and there is one big peeve that is still present on 3.6. When choosing repeat, or manually restarting a track, there is always a 3-4 second skip near the beginning of a song. I could be just me seeing how no one else is reporting this but, it really gets on my nerves.
Also, a problem I had on 3.5 was the inconsistency of the equalizer working. It usually works for a day, then the next, the equalizer icon is missing completely, along with the effects of the equalizer. I just upgraded to 3.6 today, so I don’t know if it has been fixed, or again, it may be just me. Thanks for the awesome app!

Any chances of a future landscape orientation support?
Great app. Best music player by far for android. Thanks, but one problem is I can’t seem to get rid of deleted videos that show up still. They’re just blank ghosts. Is there any way I can remove them? Would greatly appreciate it.
hi, what can i do to remove the album art when i am listening music. i mean, i just want to see the artist picture, i dont want to see the album cover. i´ll be very greatful if you can answer my question.
I also need help on this. While I can search for and listen to podcasts seamlessly, I can’t find the option of adding/subscribing to them. Please help with this. If this is sorted, it’s a five-star app!
help!! how do show up the music control buttons on the lock screen! im stucked with it, everytime my phone locks the music app plays, i dont know whats happening, even if i already paused the music still it plays when i lock the phone. i am using wp7 lock pro..

ZPlayer is the Best Player For Android (y)
My only problem is while playing it, and there is a call and the phone rings, the music doesn’t pause just the music is gone and when I answer it comes back O.o I tried to do the reverse, when there is a call I push the home button and pause the music myself, guess what !!! When I answer it resumes on its own !!
That’s strange, happens ALWAYS with me, Hope You can fix it
Thanks
that was with viber, didn’t try it with the ordinary calls
Got a similar issue here. Listening music with my headphone then I pause music killapp. But when I unplug headphone music resume. Have to kill the app one more time. But after when I plug back in it keep resuming!

* I can get only each artist’s background perfectly
but I can’t get this view : https://lh4.ggpht.com/mzeGyg78furSIxfXnAqHkHBzCenJTNDonsxrNPvD94xU7Dfp0XZCeVfKg3X6PHosu3c=h230
and I can’t detect the purpose.of “monochrome background” ?
un/checking it changes nothing
* also If you can localize the monitoring of the library to certain folders as it displays all the sound files in my SD Card, which involves the recorded files which I don’t like to be in my library
* you can also do as it is present in Zune Player for Windows; each file has 3 tags; Title, Artist of the song & Artist of the Album, so the background is set according to the Song Artist and the library pack the songs together according to the album artist
Thanks
a couple things, 1 is, is there anyway you can make the background images only download 1 picture instead of loads, because i end up running out of space. and 2, is there a way you can make a scrobble cache so i can listen to music offline and have it all add to my last.fm after
I love this app. I loved the Zune software, and and now I can get the best of both worlds on my Note 2. I did have a couple of questions:
1- is there a way to have the volume level be remembered between changing inputs (aux cable in the car, headphones, etc)? Every time I change cables or take call, and I have to readjust the volume level.
2- how do I make the lock screen controls work on the stock Note 2 lock screen? I have Nova Prime launcher, but am using the stock lock screen. I used the lock screen controls on my iPhone all the time, and would LOVE to have this feature back.
Thanks for this awesome app. It’s probably the best music player I’ve used yet since getting my Note 2 and I won’t be using anything else anytime soon.
hi, first of all…AWESOME APP! my only suggestion is to add a feature to disable the album art from the now plating screen like in the xbox music app in windows 8, thanks a lot for this amazing creation
The effort to support rotation (clearing memory/ redrawing backgrounds with each rotation causes too many bugs/issues) is substantial, and the resources are not available. So ZPlayer will not support landscape mode.
I have 2 suggestions:
1. Make the previous, pause, and next buttons turn the theme color. I know you took my last suggestion and made the inside of the circles turn the theme color, but I think it would look better if the white part of the buttons turned the theme color instead of the middle of the circles.
2. Since the update, when first starting a song, the player fades the notification and navigation bars, before I would have to tap the album image to do that. It’s a nice feature, but should not be enabled by default, only after pressing the album image like it was before the update.
Like I said, these are just suggestions, and my opinions.
Thank you for taking into consideration everyone’s comments here, and thank you for your continued work on this project.
I am able to reproduce the issue, if I start the app, go to Music, swipe over to Songs, and click Shuffle All, a song starts playing, and the buttons/notification bar go dim. I never make them go dim on purpose. This happens every single time.
As for the buttons, I just meant to color the white part of the button only when pressed, like how the center gets colored when pressed. But I won’t bother you anymore about that.
My zplayer has four entries for every song in the library, when I play the first, all the other copies play after it, before the next song in line can play. Any idea how to fix this? I tried uninstalling and deleting the zplayer files in the data folder.
How does the Last.fm scrobbling work? Because right now only the tracks I’ve listened when online seem to have scrobbled and it hasn’t scrobbled tracks listened when offline and I can’t find a cache or anything either.
How well does ZPlayer interface with the AC!D audio mod? Also I would like to use the awesome beats audio equalizer instead of the built-in equalizer, is there a way to turn off the built-in equalizer and ensure that it uses awesome beats?
I’m using Zplayer version 3.6.5 on my samsung galaxy s2 (ICS 4.0.4). The default music player shows names of all artists in my device, but Zplayer does not. When I browse songs by its names, I see list of all songs, but when I browse songs by artists, I don’t see name of some artists, despite the fact that songs of these artists appear in section ‘songs’ of Zplayer.
Thank you for the great app. I do have one issue on my Samsung Note. All of the songs for every CD show up twice. One has the music, the other is blank. This happened before and I deleted all the songs of my SD card reloaded your software, then reloaded the songs. The problem was solved for a while (few days) but has reappeared.
Thank you for keeping this interface alive and well (and better in some ways) on this platform!
Is the 4×2 widget intended to show album artwork? It appears to have a space for it, but no artwork appears, even for songs that artwork is available for in the main app. Also, for songs artwork is not available for, the app doesn’t seem to download it.
I would like to request several features:
1. Is it possible to have Volume Music controls i.e. long press volume up to change tracks? It would be useful, as on my Nexus 7 it’s not possible.
2. Integration with WidgetLocker.
3. Landscape mode, though I know your reasons for not supporting it, is it still feasible?
4. Edit artist backgrounds. Most of my artists are unknown and I would really appreciate it if I can put in my own artist image.
Z player is genuinely a masterpiece, I love it. congrats on the great app!
Is there any plan to include a feature to restrict the music scan to a specific folder? Everything in z player is so smooth and minimal but when anyone has ringtones or other random music files, these really break up the visual experience and ease of navigating the library.
Lockscreen integration would be amazing too but it’s not an issue for me as much as the lack of restricted library scanning is.
Thanks and keep on kicking as with this!
I agree with Scirwode. The main thing this app is missing:
“Is it possible to have Volume Music controls i.e. long press volume up to change tracks? It would be useful, as on my Nexus 7 it’s not possible.”
Thank you for this amazing music player. I couldn’t replace it with any other players anymore.
Only thing I would like to suggest is to have the option to let the user set the Artists Background Image from his own set of photos (aside from the retrieved images online). I mean, the selection of background images are great but I was surprised to see how big the image cache was when I cleaned it. It consumed space that is somehow unacceptable. I need space for other stuff.
I hope you will consider this.
I’m your fan. Thank you.
hi
i buy your zplayer.
Beautiful APP.
Not be controlled from the lock screen, for some reason, I do not know.
MY setting : use lockscreen controls Check
Devices :LG optimusGpro
Version : Android 4.1.2
I want to use your zplayer APP.
My settings are wrong happened?
Or do not use the lock screen?
I wonder ..
Please let me know if you have set.
I’ll wait for a reply.
Love the player, but like the Zune player and others I wish there was a cloud location or at least the option to use Dropbox so that I can sync all of my players across tablet, phone, etc. This way they could all have the same artist images, playlist (who wants to set them up twice), etc.
Also it would be much easier when switching devices – recently I upgraded phones and it was like starting all over again…frustrating…
I really love Zplayer. Its the best. UI interface is so so so good. I want to recommend some changes if you want to incorporate in it:
1. As of now, when a song is being played, the album art is displayed alongwith the artist photo. There can be option to switch off the display of the album art so that only the photo of the artist is displayed.
2. In the earlier versions, the font used in this app was different from the present one.
This app is totally worth every penny. The only thing i find missing is when you press menu button of the device it takes to the settings page always. What i recommend is the menu button should give two options like “Library”, “Settings” just like in UberMusic. I’m not saying that UberMusic is better. This is an A class app. I’m sure. But just need some ease of access like i suggested above and some themes to make it more interesting. Thumbs up for the work!
the font used in the previous version was nice. as there is an option for change to ubantu font, so keep the previous font as default. if required then user may switch to ubantu font.
I really like this app but the recent update made the font thick in the 3.8 update. I was wondering if you could let the app use the font the phone uses like when I choose a custom font for my phone it changes the font on other applications. I use the segoe font for my phone.
When playing an album and a song ends and the next song begins, there is a split second where there is no sound at all. So, when playing an album by The Beatles or Pink Floyd where the whole album seems like one long song due to the smooth transition between songs, Zplayer ruins those transitions. Also, when you skip to a certain section of a song by pressing the music progress line under the album artwork, it skips a little. Anyone else experiencing these issues? Please fix. Thanks.
I really like this app… but the thing that I expect the most in a player is a good integration with last.fm, and I’m having problems with the offline cache… sometimes it works sometimes it don’t. Is it possible to be integrated with Simple Last.Fm Scrobbler? It would be perfect for me… Thank you for this amazing app!
Is there any chance you could add an option to make the previous/play/next buttons fade or completely disappear after a certain amount of time? I use ZPlayer a lot while driving long distances, and with my last phone, a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, I experienced the buttons burning into the screen. I know the burn-in will go away eventually, but I’d like to prevent it on my new phone, a Samsung Galaxy S4. Those 3 buttons are really the only things that never change with the song, so those are the only images that burn into the screen.
I’m just suggesting this as an option in the settings menu, so as to keep the integrity of the theme by default.
My Zplayer keeps force closing when I select backgroundimages
I am preparing the next update. Please report it again after the update.
Thanks,
I keep getting this message ‘Unfortunately, Zplayer has stopped’ ..I love this app.. hope you fix it soon!
When I turn on WIFI or DATA, Zplayer force close. SE Xperia ARC.
My Zplayer keeps on force closing when its connected to internet otherwise it just works fine
Oh and Nice work on added customizations!!
and 1 more thing, could you please increase the font size of jumplists? It appears so small while selection from alphabets
Can you pleeeeeeeease add a soft key search button in the next update. I have a galaxy nexus with over 400 songs and no good way to select them or playlist individually
What can I do to make my covers on the widgets show faster
The errors which happen with data are being captured, and should be resolved in the next update
Please fix the Force Close please.
How does the Last.fm scrobbling work? Because right now only the tracks I’ve listened when online seem to have scrobbled and it hasn’t scrobbled tracks listened when offline and I can’t find a cache or anything either.
Please add scrobble cache so I could listen to music while I’m offline.
3.1.7 is the last version to work without force closing for me. Whenever i click on an artist name it closes.
Hi, Firstly, a great job!
As others have complained before, Zplayer force closes when i try to access info abt albums and artists.
Btw, it will work smoothly on HTC explorer right? please!
It would be cool to have a lock screen player that incorporates the artist background.
Can’t wait for the next update.
Hi There, this feature existed earlier, but I have reverted to an App called WP7 lock. This Application works with ZPlayer to display artist images on the lockscreen.

That would be pretty awesome!
Yeah install widgetlocker and use the zplayer widget.
Make it available on AndroidPit or amazon apps please
Congratulations for your music player, it’s awesome! But I have a problem with the podcasts because I can’t find some of the podcasts I listen to. Could you add an option to add the rss link manually or maybe sync to google reader (former google listen).
Also I miss an option to automatically download all album/artist artwork and lyrics for all songs.
Cool. Doesn’t Force close anymore. I’m really happy with it. Just few suggestions and bugs.
1. When I leave ZPlayer from Now Playing, it stays on my status bar and I cannot get rid of it. It would be nice if you could add like a little cross to end it. Like Apollo has.
2. A Holo color theme. Not important.

5. The option to change album cover.
6. It would be nice if you could add this kind of elastic effect when at the end of scrolling like Uber Music has or iPhone
apart from this, the player is awesome. Thanks
Almost forgot. Really important!!! Please give us the option to use system equalizer not only the ZPlayer one. Thanks
Please make the lockscreen controls work with WidgetLocker. Or make a widget that automatically hides when there’s no music playing.
Also +1 to Fan Tomas’s suggestion to add an x in the notification to close the app (like Google Music).
Zplayer closes when playing a song by a artist when background images in on. it also closes my statusbar+ and wp7 lock. please fix the bugs. thanks
Please add support for unsynced lyrics (embedded lyrics) in the player if they are available. It’s better than downloading it for every song. I save my lyrics inside the mp3 so every media player could use them.
Thanks for the suggestion. I have now added this feature. The update should be out today.
Love the updates….but can u figure out a way to upload more updated artist background images
Seconded – a bit more variety in those background images would be great. Could we have an option to choose the number of different images to find?
And fix missing lockscreen widget on the Note 2, please.
Sure it can be controlled. I keep it at a fixed maximum, to help performance. (i.e. It would take twice as long to load 50 images, than 20)
Oh my, I didn’t want anywhere near that number! I was thinking of between 1-10.
And fixing the missing lockscreen widget on the Note 2 would be brilliant, too.
Hello – How can I remove ghost genres? I uninstalled and reinstalled the apk but they are still there. I deleted all my music and reinstalled only one CD and there are a bunch of nonsense genres there that I want removed? Whats the path to find whats remembering these so I can delete them? Otherwise this is awesome!!!!!
Hi, I installed the player yesterday.
I started the app and got the menu with music / radio / podcast / etc….
I try to enter the music menu, but not possible. I try podcast, and also not possible. It means, I am not able to enter any menu.
Any ideas about to solve this problem?
I’m using a Galaxy Note with Android 4.0.4
Thanks!
did you use an apk to install, or via Google Play Store?
Google Play Store
Try to have an internet connection when launching the application for the first time. Afterwards, you would not need a connection.
I do uninstall and install again.
Works fine now.
Thx for the answer.
In Podcast section sometimes I choose to download some episodes, but when I try to play it streams it instead. Also when I sync all my Podcasts to my phone its all disorganized in Zplayer, it just dumps it in Music section, and it’s not even in the Podcast section.
Can you update artist image backgrounds?
Can u update artist background images…..have a time intervel so images change ever so often
hi there.., i have 3.5 and background images are not downloading.., pls help.., huhuhuhuh
I Just used the v3.5 and it seems all problems are resolved now
The Force close is gone, Working smoothly, interface enhanced a bit
Awesome!
I tried it, nice GUI and sound but not as configurable as I’d like. Can’t correct wrong album art, etc. I tried this app but by the time it scanned my library and became operational, the 15 minute refund window had lapsed ..so RIPPED OFF!!! Hey it’s $3.95, not gonna kill me but it’s the principle that irks me.
Back to the old standard ans still the bes PlayerPro
Update: Okay I emailed the developer and he graciously refunded my purchase.
when songs begin, it usually begins as loud as it can get and it destroys my ear drums, is there a fix to this?
Hi there,
first of all: great work. I’ve just noticed zplayer and I have to say: Awesome! Nice Features, great settings and an stylish UI. But one question left: How can I really quit the player? If I close by pushing back-softbutton it’s still remaining in my notification-bar …
greatz

A problem with Zplayer on my Note 2 is that when the screen is off the music tends to stick/jump every few seconds. Not always, but often enough to be quite annoying.
Have you had reports of this from anyone else or on any other phones?
Best,
StuPC
Hi,
I deleted songs on my phone, but theses songs are still in the ZPlayer music list.
Is the music list synchronisation with file on the phone automatic?
I wanted to start a brand new installation, then I deleted all my file, and again the same issue, it show all the old deleted file. Any ideas how to clean up everything before to make a new installation?
Thx
Love the player, well worth the money! And it’s good to see the dev supporting his work (Yes I’m looking at you UberMusic. I won’t buy another of Mr Carnales’ products).
Anyway, I have a feature request: can compilation albums be handled differently? I have a compilation where for each track the tagged Artist is the actual artist and the Album Artist is ‘Various Artists’. But in the album list each disc shows under the Artist of the last track.
It’d be great if the player grouped all the compilation albums under Various Artists (and there was an option whether the individual artists and songs were showed in the respective lists)
(And I think there’s a small bug in this area – if I click on the artist name in playback the biog shows that last artist rather than the one for the currently playing artist.)
I recently updated my HTC OneX(tegra3) to Android4.1 and since then whenever there are 2 sources of sound (e.g. whatsapp notification while playing music) the song will “buzz” for a few seconds. This problem only affects zplayer(i also tried stock and doubletwist) so I turn to you for help! I already reseted my phone and reinstalled the app but the problem still persist. Is there any remedy? thanks!
Hi, ive been a huge fan of this app. Is it possible to implement a folders tab or a directory type of playing? And it could be better if this player has some sort of sleep timer.
Would it be possible to enable WMA format play back? I love this app so much! just wish you could support that format!
Supposedly the next update is summer 2013 i hope thats not true……to long of a wait
please put the app on androidpit….Want to buy it with paypal (the icon here says donate instead of buy)
Oh man, if you had Google Music support on this, it would take it to another level! I’m not too sure how you would incorporate that though. Seems tricky.
Also, if you’re still developing the tablet version, I’d be happy to test it out and give some feedback.
I have the ASUS TF700T.
Lastly, I just wanted to say thanks again. I use this app every single day of my life.
It would be nice to introduce some gesture controls, using the proximity sensor. I saw this feature in another player, in which you can pause and even skip songs just by passing your hand in front of the screen. Check it out:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lava.music&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5sYXZhLm11c2ljIl0
You need to make a way to utilize Google Play Music in this
When’s the tablet Zune version ready?
Is there any way to have this app communicate with my Google music?
It’s $5 but I found this program to be awesome.

[Bug report]
ZPlayer won’t play MP4 videos in both of my ICS devices. It works perfectly fine on Jelly Bean, though.
HTC Sensation XL w/Android 4.0.3
Nexus S w/Android 4.0.4
Need to correct my bug report. I installed Android 4.1.2 on my Nexus S and it still won’t play the MP4 video files. It appears only my Galaxy S3 will play the video files on ZPlayer.
I would like to know of a video converter that will make compatible video files that will play on all Androids. Thanks
Thanks for the latest update to ZPlayer. It now allows the thumbnails to appear on my Sensation XL, but the video files still won’t play. And no effect on my Nexus S w/JB.
Here is a sample of the video file specs:
http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/MartyLK/Videofilespecs_zps5f4e44e5.jpg
I finally found a specification for my video converting program that puts out small-sized, compatible video files to play in ZPlayer.
Love your app but have a few issues:
1) i use the app in the note 2 to play music via bta in my car. First open app and no audio can be heard thru car speakers. What i do is i open stock note 2 player and play a song then pause. I then switch back to zplayer and press play and the audio will be heard in the car.
2) song title is not outputted on car’s head unit over bta. When i use sock note 2 player the song title will display
Not really deal breakers but would love to see these fixed in your next update.
Cheers!
Awesome music player, but could you as the option to enable the use of another equaliser like dspmanager or fxmusic?
Awesome music player. Could add an option to use equalisers like DSP manager or FxMusic?
Few suggestions:
1- Increasing the font size of title, artist and … in now playing.
2- I want to access my music library from now playing quickly. If pressing the menu button shows some options including music library instead of going directly to preferences it will be faster than double tap.
3- Adding a search button
4- Adding play and pause and next and previous track to the notification bar.
5- Adding an option to remove genres or … from music. I don’t use genres, songs or playlists to find a track and without them browsing between artists and albums become faster.
Thanks
I’ve been using it for quite a while now, and there is one big peeve that is still present on 3.6. When choosing repeat, or manually restarting a track, there is always a 3-4 second skip near the beginning of a song. I could be just me seeing how no one else is reporting this but, it really gets on my nerves.
Also, a problem I had on 3.5 was the inconsistency of the equalizer working. It usually works for a day, then the next, the equalizer icon is missing completely, along with the effects of the equalizer. I just upgraded to 3.6 today, so I don’t know if it has been fixed, or again, it may be just me. Thanks for the awesome app!
Any chances of a future landscape orientation support?
Not for ZPlayer. The UI was designed mainly for screens with portrait orientation.
did update but empty genres still showing. i do have song/album now in genres though.
folder play please..
Folder Play PLEEEEASE!!!!!
How can I delete the album art images? For some reason that images appear in the wrong songs.
I can*
those*
everytime i play a song it straight force closes…. its getting annoying now!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi,
could you provide more details on this issue?
Great app. Best music player by far for android. Thanks, but one problem is I can’t seem to get rid of deleted videos that show up still. They’re just blank ghosts. Is there any way I can remove them? Would greatly appreciate it.
Can you update the artist background images in the next update?
You can change it yourself its working great.
hi, what can i do to remove the album art when i am listening music. i mean, i just want to see the artist picture, i dont want to see the album cover. i´ll be very greatful if you can answer my question.
thanks!
Hi, the album art cannot be removed on the now playing screen. It will always show if the album art exists for the track playing.
is there a way to manually add a RSS feed to the podcast section? there’s a new podcast i want to add, but it doesn’t show up in search.
I also need help on this. While I can search for and listen to podcasts seamlessly, I can’t find the option of adding/subscribing to them. Please help with this. If this is sorted, it’s a five-star app!
I am running it on the galaxy s3.
Hi,
long pressing on a podcast row, or episode row will give you options to subscribe /unsubscribe and so on.
Thanks,
Everything is Awesome on the Current Version, Just 1 little customization needed.
on 240 X 320 Resolution, the main menu goes off the screen and you know that its not scroll-able
Cure it too
Rest is just Awesome
help!! how do show up the music control buttons on the lock screen! im stucked with it, everytime my phone locks the music app plays, i dont know whats happening, even if i already paused the music still it plays when i lock the phone. i am using wp7 lock pro..
ZPlayer is the Best Player For Android (y)
My only problem is while playing it, and there is a call and the phone rings, the music doesn’t pause just the music is gone and when I answer it comes back O.o I tried to do the reverse, when there is a call I push the home button and pause the music myself, guess what !!! When I answer it resumes on its own !!
That’s strange, happens ALWAYS with me, Hope You can fix it
Thanks
that was with viber, didn’t try it with the ordinary calls
Galaxy Ace S7500
Got a similar issue here. Listening music with my headphone then I pause music killapp. But when I unplug headphone music resume. Have to kill the app one more time. But after when I plug back in it keep resuming!
* I can get only each artist’s background perfectly
but I can’t get this view :
https://lh4.ggpht.com/mzeGyg78furSIxfXnAqHkHBzCenJTNDonsxrNPvD94xU7Dfp0XZCeVfKg3X6PHosu3c=h230
and I can’t detect the purpose.of “monochrome background” ?
un/checking it changes nothing
* also If you can localize the monitoring of the library to certain folders as it displays all the sound files in my SD Card, which involves the recorded files which I don’t like to be in my library
* you can also do as it is present in Zune Player for Windows; each file has 3 tags; Title, Artist of the song & Artist of the Album, so the background is set according to the Song Artist and the library pack the songs together according to the album artist
Thanks
a couple things, 1 is, is there anyway you can make the background images only download 1 picture instead of loads, because i end up running out of space. and 2, is there a way you can make a scrobble cache so i can listen to music offline and have it all add to my last.fm after
Seconded for the scrobble cache!
I will add this feature for the next release.
i still have empty genres with update – Galaxy S3
I love this app. I loved the Zune software, and and now I can get the best of both worlds on my Note 2. I did have a couple of questions:
1- is there a way to have the volume level be remembered between changing inputs (aux cable in the car, headphones, etc)? Every time I change cables or take call, and I have to readjust the volume level.
2- how do I make the lock screen controls work on the stock Note 2 lock screen? I have Nova Prime launcher, but am using the stock lock screen. I used the lock screen controls on my iPhone all the time, and would LOVE to have this feature back.
Thanks for this awesome app. It’s probably the best music player I’ve used yet since getting my Note 2 and I won’t be using anything else anytime soon.
please crossfade fonction…
Geof, the only solution I found for the lockscreen was to use an app called Widget Locker – works perfectly.
I use widget locker as well…..:)
I hope this player would come for windows PC also, i have Zune player but i would like to see it in my PC for Zune’s replacement……cheers
where is the lockscreen widget for this app? is there one?
hi, first of all…AWESOME APP! my only suggestion is to add a feature to disable the album art from the now plating screen like in the xbox music app in windows 8, thanks a lot for this amazing creation
Please add landscape mode for my tablets. Thank you
The effort to support rotation (clearing memory/ redrawing backgrounds with each rotation causes too many bugs/issues) is substantial, and the resources are not available. So ZPlayer will not support landscape mode.
Great update the other day.
I have 2 suggestions:
1. Make the previous, pause, and next buttons turn the theme color. I know you took my last suggestion and made the inside of the circles turn the theme color, but I think it would look better if the white part of the buttons turned the theme color instead of the middle of the circles.
2. Since the update, when first starting a song, the player fades the notification and navigation bars, before I would have to tap the album image to do that. It’s a nice feature, but should not be enabled by default, only after pressing the album image like it was before the update.
Like I said, these are just suggestions, and my opinions.
Thank you for taking into consideration everyone’s comments here, and thank you for your continued work on this project.
The dimming of the navigation bars will assume the last state which the now playing screen was left.
Coloring the buttons will not play nice with all the accent colors… since “dark grey” is also an accent color.
Thanks for the response.
I am able to reproduce the issue, if I start the app, go to Music, swipe over to Songs, and click Shuffle All, a song starts playing, and the buttons/notification bar go dim. I never make them go dim on purpose. This happens every single time.
As for the buttons, I just meant to color the white part of the button only when pressed, like how the center gets colored when pressed. But I won’t bother you anymore about that.
i still have empty genres! am i the only one? i know update said it was fixed but not on mine.
hi dere..
1.SELF TIMER is a must…
2. album art edit not working sometimes
3. how to clear nowplaying list and how to reach that list before playing a song
4. song enque(play next) feature include in now playing list
plz reply
sorry I mean sleep timer
Did you get my email about the French translation?
My zplayer has four entries for every song in the library, when I play the first, all the other copies play after it, before the next song in line can play. Any idea how to fix this? I tried uninstalling and deleting the zplayer files in the data folder.
What i was wondering is a 10 band equalizer. If possible then i would be a great feature added to the player…..
How does the Last.fm scrobbling work? Because right now only the tracks I’ve listened when online seem to have scrobbled and it hasn’t scrobbled tracks listened when offline and I can’t find a cache or anything either.
This is because Zplayer as far as i know doesn’t have a offline cache for scrobling to yet.
How well does ZPlayer interface with the AC!D audio mod? Also I would like to use the awesome beats audio equalizer instead of the built-in equalizer, is there a way to turn off the built-in equalizer and ensure that it uses awesome beats?
I’m using Zplayer version 3.6.5 on my samsung galaxy s2 (ICS 4.0.4). The default music player shows names of all artists in my device, but Zplayer does not. When I browse songs by its names, I see list of all songs, but when I browse songs by artists, I don’t see name of some artists, despite the fact that songs of these artists appear in section ‘songs’ of Zplayer.
Hi, love the player, however I can’t get the lyrics to display.
How do I do this?
I have checked the “display lyrics” box in the settings.
There is a little music symbol next to the shuffle control button, if their are lyrics available for the song.
But don’t forget to enable the lyrics feature in the settings first.
Thank you for the great app. I do have one issue on my Samsung Note. All of the songs for every CD show up twice. One has the music, the other is blank. This happened before and I deleted all the songs of my SD card reloaded your software, then reloaded the songs. The problem was solved for a while (few days) but has reappeared.
Thank you for keeping this interface alive and well (and better in some ways) on this platform!
Nice music apps but missing the fade in fade out between tracks and also when jumping to the next track.
Is the 4×2 widget intended to show album artwork? It appears to have a space for it, but no artwork appears, even for songs that artwork is available for in the main app. Also, for songs artwork is not available for, the app doesn’t seem to download it.
THIS APP NEEEEDS A LOCKSCREEN PLAYER!!
I would like to request several features:
1. Is it possible to have Volume Music controls i.e. long press volume up to change tracks? It would be useful, as on my Nexus 7 it’s not possible.
2. Integration with WidgetLocker.
3. Landscape mode, though I know your reasons for not supporting it, is it still feasible?
4. Edit artist backgrounds. Most of my artists are unknown and I would really appreciate it if I can put in my own artist image.
Scirwode
Hey Scirwode , i am agreed with the 4th point.
@Roomtek; i wanted to add some features like:
1. lyrics display with same screen sync with the song
2. 10 band equalizer
may be we people are expecting a lot from you…..what to do man
Hi, this would be the greatest player. Ever if screen rotated when tablet fliped. Plz add feature.
Z player is genuinely a masterpiece, I love it. congrats on the great app!
Is there any plan to include a feature to restrict the music scan to a specific folder? Everything in z player is so smooth and minimal but when anyone has ringtones or other random music files, these really break up the visual experience and ease of navigating the library.
Lockscreen integration would be amazing too but it’s not an issue for me as much as the lack of restricted library scanning is.
Thanks and keep on kicking as with this!
I have to totally agree, this app is perfect except for the fact it doesn’t allow me to restrict the music scan.
Please fix this issue
Widgets gone.
I agree with Scirwode. The main thing this app is missing:
“Is it possible to have Volume Music controls i.e. long press volume up to change tracks? It would be useful, as on my Nexus 7 it’s not possible.”
Thank you for this amazing music player. I couldn’t replace it with any other players anymore.
Only thing I would like to suggest is to have the option to let the user set the Artists Background Image from his own set of photos (aside from the retrieved images online). I mean, the selection of background images are great but I was surprised to see how big the image cache was when I cleaned it. It consumed space that is somehow unacceptable. I need space for other stuff.
I hope you will consider this.
I’m your fan. Thank you.
hi
i buy your zplayer.
Beautiful APP.
Not be controlled from the lock screen, for some reason, I do not know.
MY setting : use lockscreen controls Check
Devices :LG optimusGpro
Version : Android 4.1.2
I want to use your zplayer APP.
My settings are wrong happened?
Or do not use the lock screen?
I wonder ..
Please let me know if you have set.
I’ll wait for a reply.
Love the player, but like the Zune player and others I wish there was a cloud location or at least the option to use Dropbox so that I can sync all of my players across tablet, phone, etc. This way they could all have the same artist images, playlist (who wants to set them up twice), etc.
Also it would be much easier when switching devices – recently I upgraded phones and it was like starting all over again…frustrating…
I really love Zplayer. Its the best. UI interface is so so so good. I want to recommend some changes if you want to incorporate in it:
1. As of now, when a song is being played, the album art is displayed alongwith the artist photo. There can be option to switch off the display of the album art so that only the photo of the artist is displayed.
2. In the earlier versions, the font used in this app was different from the present one.
Smod co podcasts fail when attempting to download, stream fine but will not download.
This app is totally worth every penny. The only thing i find missing is when you press menu button of the device it takes to the settings page always. What i recommend is the menu button should give two options like “Library”, “Settings” just like in UberMusic. I’m not saying that UberMusic is better. This is an A class app. I’m sure. But just need some ease of access like i suggested above and some themes to make it more interesting.
Thumbs up for the work!
the font used in the previous version was nice. as there is an option for change to ubantu font, so keep the previous font as default. if required then user may switch to ubantu font.
I really like this app but the recent update made the font thick in the 3.8 update. I was wondering if you could let the app use the font the phone uses like when I choose a custom font for my phone it changes the font on other applications. I use the segoe font for my phone.
When playing an album and a song ends and the next song begins, there is a split second where there is no sound at all. So, when playing an album by The Beatles or Pink Floyd where the whole album seems like one long song due to the smooth transition between songs, Zplayer ruins those transitions. Also, when you skip to a certain section of a song by pressing the music progress line under the album artwork, it skips a little. Anyone else experiencing these issues? Please fix. Thanks.
Phone: Galaxy Nexus GSM (maguro)
ROM: CarbonRom 1.7 JB 4.2.2
Kernel: AK.256.SKL
I really like this app… but the thing that I expect the most in a player is a good integration with last.fm, and I’m having problems with the offline cache… sometimes it works sometimes it don’t. Is it possible to be integrated with Simple Last.Fm Scrobbler? It would be perfect for me… Thank you for this amazing app!
i wanna change only songs font is that possible?
Here’s a suggestion
Have the background pictures change every 20 seconds.
Is there any chance you could add an option to make the previous/play/next buttons fade or completely disappear after a certain amount of time? I use ZPlayer a lot while driving long distances, and with my last phone, a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, I experienced the buttons burning into the screen. I know the burn-in will go away eventually, but I’d like to prevent it on my new phone, a Samsung Galaxy S4. Those 3 buttons are really the only things that never change with the song, so those are the only images that burn into the screen.
I’m just suggesting this as an option in the settings menu, so as to keep the integrity of the theme by default.
Thanks.
