Music - Open Source Offline Music Player

MissingCore

Back in March, I saw this post on the Nothing Community forums and though it would be fun to build out the design as an app (and learn React Native which this app is built from at the same time). Original design by alKid over on Discord, expanded on by me for the creation of the other screens.

Currently, the app provides the following basic features:

Supports Android 7+
Offline-First
Diverse music organization: Favorites, Playlists, Folder Structure, Albums, Artists
Background playback w/ media control notification
Queues
Theoretical support of these media formats
Control of where music is found

Future feature road map in no particular order: https://github.com/MissingCore/Music/discussions/9

Important Note on App Initialization for the First Time: You’ll see the loading screen in which the app saves the metadata of the tracks on your device. Then when the home page is displayed, the app saves the images in the background in an optimized way (ie: instead of reading each and every file for the image data and saving it, if the image belongs to an album, we save an image for that specific album and link it to the tracks that belong to it).

Download Links:

GitHub (you have to open up the “Assets” dropdown menu on the latest release)
Play Store

Scans of the v1.0.0-rc.8 app-universal-release.apk file:

Also for those wondering about the cover art in the promo image above, Google doesn’t allow copyrighted material in the promo images in the Play Store, which includes the artwork of tracks & albums.

MissingCore Nice work! Thanks for coming here to share it! I’m sure you’ll find some willing testing in the community here!

MissingCore does is support high res FLAC format ??

Lyx

MissingCore I am loving this! Although please add a feature that lets me use album artist instead of artist.

NothingTushar13

MissingCore is this available to intsall if yes then please tell how to get it

Anonymous38 In the repository, I mentioned it in the README, but for optimizations, we save the metadata first, then save the images afterwards.

Nice design, already love it! If you want, I can send you my e-mail of Google Play account to fill you queue.

Not tested it yet fully, but first thing, that I personally need - folder structure (I have over 15k of songs, all of them are completely tagged but in this quantity, it is way easier to navigate by folders - see example from my PowerAmp).

As you mentioned, only mp3 & FLAC is supported now, so 99% of my collection is invisible, due I have it in AAC-LC 😁

MissingCore

Ghouless I’ve been sending emails to people after they filled out the Google Form and it might have went to spam 😅, so in the middle of sending follow up emails (currently the form link is displayed in the release notes).

By folder structure, do you mean you store your tracks in nested folders within the Android Music folder?

For AAC-LC, I’ll need to research a bit about how to extract metadata from it. Also, is the file extension .aac or .m4a?

For why we supported .mp3 & .flac initially, I didn’t really know what formats people use to store their music files 😅

I can also send you my GMail if you want! We need a music player in NothingOS, if there’s a chance to expand to other audio formats, it’d be great!

Ghouless

MissingCore Folders - yup, that’s correct (see screenshot from Solid Explorer)

AAC-LC - I use .mp4 container instead of .m4a, due to wider compatibility.

P.S. I’m too lazy to switch phone to EN language, but I think, that you know the points on the pictures 😉

P.P.S Monty opted in right now via Google Form 😉

MinaSaher

A well looking app. but would you consider adding a light mode option ?

MissingCore

MinaSaher That’s planned in the future

Rahul

This is awesome!

Looking forward to try the app when it’s possible again 🙌

Looks very good, congratulations 🎉

I downloaded the app. It’s great. I’ve been waiting for a player for a long time. But I have a problem. I have mad 80 songs, and in my songs it finds only 4. All of them are mp3. Why so? At the beginning it searches for songs, it stays for more than 10 minutes and finally again only 4. What could be the reason for this?

BikramadityaNiroula

Can anyone help me to install this in my phone?

JeffreyLopez

Ill take anything by nothing at this point 😁.

If you want to set a 1.00 payment for the app, im down.

Please hurry!

MissingCore

Trilo I’ve theoretically wrote some code to be able to read the metadata for .flac files, so it should work

NikolaPekov

What I found out why it doesn’t find most songs is because it doesn’t see 320kbs m3 format.

MissingCore

NikolaPekov It shouldn’t matter what the bit rate of the file is - your .mp3 file might have stored the metadata in a different way like the APE format, which we don’t support since I assumed that most media would be using the ID3 format for metadata

Space

Please make an application with a widget for notes and lists in the Notning style

MissingCore

Space There’s a Nothing-styled notes app that someone else in the community have made on the forum: https://nothing.community/d/9241-nothing-style-notes-app-notes

ERRoR(Nothing)

Not all files are showing (out of 100-150. Only 65 ) but all functions are working

Using two differnt phones

Nothing 2a

There is a glitch I’m seeing when I go to import and export the screen flickers - other then that app is good
