New app Sound Stream Now uses Glyph Matrix

Moworks

Hey everyone — I’ve been building Sound Stream Now, a player that blends SoundCloud + Audius playlists with your own favorites.

I wanted the Glyph Matrix to feel more dynamic, so I’ve added four display modes so far:

Music Visualizer (image below)
Track Display Time
Cover Art
Track Info

Here’s a quick preview of the music visualizer

Which display mode do you want upgraded next?
A) Cover art pulses
B) Waveform bars
C) Track info
D) Custom user-designed frames

Also—if you want to test it, here’s the Play Store link.

Moworks Hey, nice work! I’d suggest adding pictures and demo videos here on this thread to get more attention 🙂

Definitely the Sound Stream Now music player.

Quick technical follow-up for anyone interested in the implementation side:

I’m currently optimizing how the Glyph Matrix rendering works during playback, and I’m deciding where to focus next. Each mode uses slightly different pipeline logic (frame generation, update frequency, CPU load, etc.), so I’d love feedback from other devs working with the Matrix or audio visualization.

Which area would be the most valuable to refine first?

A) Live Visualiser — frame generation based on FFT samples, currently tuned at ~30–60 updates/sec depending on track complexity. Thinking about adding multiple modes (bars, dots, mirrored, radial).

B) Cover Art Mode — converting artwork into a pixel grid on-the-fly using color quantization + threshold mapping. Might add caching + pre-processing to reduce frame drops.

C) Track Countdown — currently lightweight numeric frames, could add transitions + GPU-side rendering.

D) Track Info Overlay — scrolling metadata from MediaSession using a frame queue. Considering per-pixel font rendering instead of bitmap frames.

If you’re doing anything similar with Nothing’s Glyph APIs or custom matrix drivers, would love to compare approaches.
