loving the app!! the only problem im encountering is sometimes the music will be off-pitch when it starts playing (more specifically when listening on the playdate speaker) do you know if this is a playdate bug or a software bug?
Hey there, glad you're enjoying it!! Yeah, I think that happens when you play an audio file has a different sample rate than the others. To fix that, you can either:
- drag your MP3 into something like Audacity, change the project rate (it should be in the bottom left corner) to 44100 Hz (or the same rate as the rest of your files), then re-export the MP3
- change the sample rate with ffmpeg: `ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -ar 44100 output.mp3`
That should fix the issue. Hope this helps! :)
Love the app but everything seems a bit clunkier and slow since 4.2Z update. Scrolling is a bit of a pain and going back to the tracklist kind of scrambles the music.
Thanks for letting me know! I’ll push a fix as soon as I can :)
Thanks!
Ok, the performance issue has been fixed! Thanks again for the bug report!
It runs flawlessly now. Thanks again. The only thing missing is an icon for list mode. ;P
Hi, great work on this app, enjoying it a lot. Can I ask what license it's released under? It doesn't say on the Github page. Thanks!
It’s under the MIT license, I’ll add the license here in a few so there’s less confusion :)
Amazing player! Thanks for developing it!
I have several suggestions for player improvement:
1. When in 'files' screen, pressing B button displays 'now playing' screen. Like we currently can go from 'now playing' to 'files' by pressing B button.
2. When in 'now playing' screen, pressing Down button plays next file, pressing Up button plays previous file.
3. When pressing B to go from 'now playing' to 'files', the current song is highlighted.
4. In 'files' mark current song, for example with 'ᐅ' symbol.
Thanks again!
Hello, thank you for your suggestions! I will incorporate all of them in the next release :)
And I've released version 3.0! Thanks again for your suggestions!
Wow! Amazing! Thanks for update!
Thank you! I'll be using my PlayDate as a podcast player on a long flight to save battery on my phone.
No problem! Have a good flight :)
Does the player support more than mp3? Thanks for making btw!
It should also support .PDAs, which are audio files that have been converted into a Playdate-readable format.
If you want to play, say, WAVs, you should send those files through Audacity to convert them into MP3s.
Also, no problem! Let me know if you have any features that you'd like me to add!
