Thank you all for supporting Gramophone! My primary motivation for continuing working on this app is the community, stay awesome!

Hi all, just fyi,

since the beginning Gramophone has been keeping it simple and used MediaStore for tag extraction.

I've changed my mind since then because MediaStore is unmaintained for too long.

Gramophone will get custom tag extractor in the future, but will be able to supplement with MediaStore tags for unsupported formats, and will use a combination of MediaStore (for all popular formats) and SAF (for niche formats such as dsf/dff/xm/mod/tta/ape/wv - note that Gramophone will still require system decoders for now and some of them will not be playable) for file reading.

Some other benefits for this will be: more correct tag extraction, support for multi-value tags (later will add multiple artist support), differentiate artist/album/etc based on musicbrainz id, track playback time using acoustid

However, this is still in planning phase and hence will probably take 1 year or more. Until the project is completed, I will still release other changes in Gramophone updates. Thank you for your patience!

Hi,

Gramophone will soon drop Android 5.0 and 5.1 support, as Google is deprecating support for these Android versions in the entire ecosystem (AndroidX libraries, media3 libraries, Play Store and Play services updates, other Google app updates) and it will be increasingly hard to support new Android versions (Android 17) with outdated libraries.

If you are an affected Android 5.x user, please let me know (in our chat @FoedusDiscussion) so that I can decide whether to keep support for a longer time (until I have a good reason I need to upgrade libraries) or if nobody is actually using it.

According to Play Store, there is currently 1 user using Android 5.0 and 9 users using Android 5.1

Thanks,
Nick

Hey guys, just want to let you guys know I'm back at the development of accord. My sincere apologies for the half of the overall development. As we all know making a music player requires a lot of effort (A LOT, yes) than other types of apps, so please wait patiently while I'm cooking something good. I might send some experiment packages in our discussion, so feel free to join and chat. A fully usable and functional package won't come any sooner but I'll try my best to deliver the finest product when it's available :)

Came up with something fresh today :DDD
Also if you’re confused it’s not a wallpaper but rather genuine Apple Music’s background
(And yes it moves)

New lyrics module’s credits to @kyant_dev!! Thank him for sharing his code for implementation reference. Go check his project on GitHub. People like him makes open source worthwhile.

Making continuous rounded corner today. As it’s an important aspect in apple’s aesthetics surely an Apple Music mock can’t miss that. So we bring you the new app-wide C2 round corner calculated with bezier curve :D

Comparison above
First - Accord 2
Second - Competitor

Ah, yes, physics. The one thing that apple favors for their animations and various controllers. On iOS apple music the volume slider follows the natural momentum fairly well. After excessive thinking and drawing I have managed to replicate their animations on android :D

First - Accord
Second - Competitor

Also I will be giving out dev logs everyday (when I'm in the mood) so expect something for tomorrow

Writing shaders and learning OpenGL for better blend background these days. Then I decide to halt the work because it’s taking me way too much time and probably I’ll do something with it after accord’s first public release.
