DroidSound- Classic mod tunes on your Android

[radon_22]

I discovered a rather sweet Droid app that does a pretty good job at playing sid, mod, and other retro formats called DroidSound. It is HVSC and CSDb compatible, has a few modpacks available, and has the links built in. Now I can rock out to classic C= music on the go!

Check it out at http://swimsuitboys.com/droidsound/ . You can also find it in the app market.

I'm not affiliated with the project, but thought a few of you might get a kick out of it.

Nice! Cheers

Best Amiga music player for Android, it supports UADE players, so you can listen to all exotic formats on your phone.

Wow! That's what I've been searching for a long time. Works good in the Android runtime of Blackberry 10 OS but therfore it uses a lot of CPU-power (abt. 17 % on the Q10 and 10% on the Z10). But I think that's depending on the on the OS version.
The actual link for download is https://github.com/droidmjt/Droidsound for now.

Naaah, I prefer "XMP Mod Player" - Much, much better!

[kriz]

XMP mod player rulez, the ability to search and add tracks is just excellent .. Love it

[Hewitson]

XMP is shit compared to this as it won't play a lot of the Amiga module formats. If this is based on UADE, it'll play almost everything.

[ipp0]

I used XMP before. But it can only play .mod and .med and maybe some other.
What about .jd, .hipc, .hip, .hip7, .dw, .gray, .dns, .fp, .px4 and so on, and so on?
XMP is good and stable. But it has it's limits. Imho the UADE plugin inside DroidSound can not be beat.

So what is the best for android ?

Why use that and limit yourself to a fraction of the Amiga music library?

In my opinion, most of the best music isn't even in MOD format. It's in formats like Future Composer and SIDmon.

If Droidsound allowed me to list files with their filenames (including extensions) and NOT just their metadata titles, I might consider it.

Well, I didn't realise it had that limitation. What a poorly designed piece of shit.

Why are some people stirring up here? You can install both players on your device.

I'd have three players, as I have one for MP3s as well. I'd prefer to minimise the number of players, thanks.

I do not want to step on anyone's feet here.
This is just for my personal needs.
Droidsound plays mp3, mpc, ogg, flac, wav and playlists (m3u, pls etc.). I don't have any other formats to test on my Blackberry right now.

It has a file browser, a search function and a configurable Visualizer.


The UADE plugin is highly configurable:

# Common configuration file for uade frontends.
#
# Lines beginning with # character are comment lines. We have tried here to
# list useful examples that you can uncomment by removing the # character.
# Set filter emulation mode to be A500, A1200.
# The default is A500. PLEASE NOTE that this option has an effect even if a
# song doesn't use filtering. Switching between A500 and A1200 has an audible
# effect on every song. A500 is slower.
#filter A1200
# Enable headphone postprocessing effect.
#headphones
# Set panning panning value. Mixes left and right channels together affinely
# (in linear fashion).
#panning 0.7
# Enable gain effect in range [0, 1]. Decreasing volume by 1 dB means
# multiplying the current gain value by 0.89125 or (10^(-1/20)). Multiplying
# by half means ~6 dB less of volume.
#gain 0.25
# Set resampling method to default, sinc or none. The default is recommended.
#resampler none
# Set timing to NTSC/60hz for vertical blank interrupt timed songs. Note: this
# will have no effect for replays using CIA (frequency independent) timing.
# (default: ntsc 0)
#ntsc 1
# Subsong timeout is the number of seconds after which a subsong is forced
# to end.
#subsong_timeout 512
# Turn action keys "on" or "off". The default is "on". Setting action keys "on"
# makes uade123 obey key commands at runtime. For example, pressing a number
# will change subsong.
#action_keys off
# Turn filter emulation off. You shouldn't use this.
#no_filter
# Force led off. Note that this may not be exactly the same as turning
# filter emulation off, but it is pretty near.
#force_led_off
# Play a song even if the eagleplayer doesn't recognize it. You shouldn't use
# this.
#ignore_player_check
# Play at most one subsong per file.
#one_subsong_per_file
# Random play or shuffle mode. This option affects only command line tools.
#random_play
# Scan directories recursively. This option affects only command line tools.
#recursive_mode
# Silence timeout is the number of seconds of silence after which a
# subsong is ended automatically.
#silence_timeout 20
# Timeout is the total number of seconds for all subsongs after which the
# song is forced to end.
#timeout -1
# Set audio buffer length to x milliseconds. This can be used on some
# systems and audio drivers to avoid buffer underruns. (As a special note,
# libao 0.8.6 and older have a bug in ALSA backend that the buffer_time is
# actually given in microseconds.)
#buffer_time 500
# Set how the title format of the songs will be generated.
# The default is %F %X [%P]
# %F - filename %T - songtitle
# %P - player or formatname
# %A - minimum subsong %B - current subsong
# %C - maximum subsong %X - only display subsongs when more than one
#song_title %T %X [%P]
# Set output frequency. The default is 44,1 kHz.
#frequency 48000

And last but not least the most important thing for me is to play mod files and subsongs randomly without any interruption. You don't even realize when a (sub)song ends and starts again like it is in real Amiga games. This is based on the Eagleplayer API.
My record was abt. 18 hours of the second subsong from Hollywood Poker Pro.

Thread Necromancy. Droidsound unfortunately left the Google Play Store (reasons unknown) but the developer has continued to develop it and the APK is available here :

https://droidsound-e.web.app/

(Careful not to download the legacy version)
