can't import my music library #18
Comments
what are you expecting from a music player other than scanning ur music files? i cant let the initial folders empty and ppl open it and find it empty, but good suggestion i may add a welcome screen with initial folders the jank u are talking about is normal with "indexing", poweramp and oto doesn't really "index", they just read them from Media Store, so obviously it will be fast/instant and not laggy, while Namida extracts info from the files themselves, there are some info can't be provided by Media Store so we use the actual files and actual extraction process, u dont spend ur time extracting ur library so scan once enjoy later and what do you mean by "cant add my music library?" there are list of folders to scan from, if ur music exists in a folder that is not default music folder, just simply add that folder from Indexer :/ |
Like, I have 400 songs and around 250 lrc files in my music folder but namida couldn't index all music for some reason |
Hmmm, interesting. What positive things does indexing have over just reading the files? I find that my artists and albums are organized and searching is instant either way |
|
Media Store doesnt provide some of the main fields that Namida relies on and considered critical, for example comment tag, which should have a youtube link to the music which allows u to
u will also lose lyrics tag (which should be used to display lyrics), mood tag, along with other tag fields which might or might not be useful for u also, by using media store, you will be bounded to their other api thingys, like albums, artist, genres, playlists, etc.. even all these sorting u see in namida, most of them wont be availabe also there is artwork, u can
add, respect.nomedia option will have no effect, since media store automatically ignores folders with .nomedia thats what i remember for now, i chose this way bcz its felixible and opens the door for any feature without limitation, hope u understand |
Thanks for your responses! I'll try the next version and give feedback on it too :) |
Instead of the junk you get hit with when opening the app, you should be able to select a folder and the app scans just that folder quickly. Other music player apps like Poweramp and Oto music were able to import all 400 of my songs in a couple of seconds but this was able to find half of them in over a minute and stopped after that
