This simple but very handy app will allow you to create colorful tiles for the music playlists, using the albums art or your own graphics.
The app also supports NFC tags so you may automate some actions (like all tracks playback) in your car. Unfortunately, currently Microsoft has a limitation (damn stupid limitation but it's MS!) - NFC tags can't be processed with locked screen or screen off. Hope, MS will remove this in the WP 8.1 release!

Please review and rate the app. Don't leave negative feedbacks - tell me here what's wrong and I'll try to fix it as soon as I can!

App received update (I've fixed some bugs).
P.S. Hey guys, do you have app reviews/requests? Actually, I'm kinda disappointed because of silence here; looks like nobody (except me) uses a playlists to listen music...

it's not your fault, but the music app for wp is awful, thousands of topics all over the web about wp playlist's problems...
if ms decently update music app I'm sure people will start using your app...
have you done some "marketing" on wpcentral?

This app can work for WP7 too - I'm using good old XNA API to work with playlists. And - since WP7 launch - playlists has a lack of pictured tiles, they are always looks the same, very hard to handle...
I don't care about playlist tiles before upgrading to WP8.1: after BT connection to my Nissan Altima, system player starts playing all songs in random order. But MS changed the behavior, now it's silent. What's why I wrote this app.
BTW, people already started using my app - store has no analogues at all.

I've created the app announcement at the "developer spotlight" forum, exactly like here And the app is free (at least for now) so it's not a "pure marketing".

sorry I didn't mean that none is using your app, I think is a useful and good app but only two weeks ago creating/modifing a playlist on wp was a pain in the a** so not many users used playlist,but I repeat is a very good app :good:

What do you mean by "creating a playlist was a pain"? Have you ever tried to create a playlist(s) on PC, via standard Windows explorer? It's an easy as a pie - select folder(s), rightclick, choose "Create playlist", rename it - thats all. I was really surprised how easy it is!..
Currently, MS don't provide any API to access playlists created by new music hub And playlist format (probably) changed; now playlists are stored to internal database, not an external files (like an old way). I don't understand one thing - why we need these "improvements"?

Playlist Tiler got an update. Some bugs are fixed, speed and playlist shuffle improved. Unfortunately I don't have enough time to implement good wide tiles, will try to bring 'em in the next update.
App will remain free; I've only added purchase option for NFC tag writing. However if you wanna support my development, buy this option (just $0.99) like a donation

[REQ] Music Player with Search (text) function

I was playing with Groovefish last week (while it was still working) and realized that I really enjoyed searching for music by text (artist name, title, etc) instead of trying to sift through my lists of mp3s stored on the device.
It got me thinking- why aren't there any good music players out there that with a text search option?
I'm picturing it working on some sort of index, similar to the way you can type a contact name or subject/sender in messaging, and it will narrow down the list of options as you type in real-time.
For devices with keyboards, this would be an invaluable tool. Does something like this exist and I've just missed it? If not, how hard would it be to implement?
yes there is actually
I wrote such a program a (very long) while ago. A small part of it's interface is in hebrew but basically it is icon based. Also, it is written for QVGA devices and i don't know how it will run on WM 6.5 and later.
It is meant to be finger friendly and easy to operate while driving, that's why i chose to implement this kind of input method.
I stopped development in the middle of making a new, WVGA compatible version with a whole new interface based on ALPINE's car audio system and haven't continued since.
Some screenshots:

The search box is next to the magnifying glass icon and it updates the list in real-time.
You can download it here:

If you have any questions, hit the "i" button - my e-mail address is written there.
There's an awesome one called Windows Media Player. It comes with your device. You start typing and it filters
yeah- try using those tiny icons on a wvga display while driving, blue.
WMP is pretty terrible to use without a stylus, although it will sort through a list of titles as you type, now that you point it out. The problem, aside for the lack of finger friendliness, is that the search is only in the category u select.
In other words, I have to first click artist if I'm searching for an artist, or album if I want the album name. What I love about searching with groovefish is that I can type any part of the name, artist, album, etc, and it will find it on a whim. Being able to do that locally in real time would be extremely useful, especially with some nice big icons to click.
Gorel, my hebrew is a bit weak, but I can fake my way through it. Too bad you stopped development... theres really nothing else out there like this?
I'm sorry, not that i know of.
I may get back to deveploment now that i have my hd2 but it is very time consuming and it is very low on my priority list (i am not a pro)...
I think it is best if one of the developers here would incorporate this feature into his own software - it basically a simple sql query and shouldn't be too hard for a pro to implement.
edit: I just thought of something, assuming you have an hd2, you could use the zoom feature to make the program appear full screen!
Let me see... where did I put that hd2...

Even though HTC Sense 3.0 Launcher doesn't support wallpaper scrolling, you can still use the wallpapers located on the mobile media site. Other launchers work fantastic with scrolling wallpapers however

It should be. Check your spam folder?
You can still download things without registering. Registrations are only needed for viewing intermediate pictures.
User content is going live today!
What this will enable you to do is upload your own wallpapers to the many sections of Mobile Media.
What I'm still trying to figure out is if I should enable users to have their own album or make it so they have to upload to set categories and albums.

Edit....just got email.
well not only was i wloking for some qHD walls, but u got some for my ACER....perfect....thanks for all that....much appreciated
Hi guys, another update!
Mobile Media now supports 3D pictures (mpo/jps formats), so you can now upload your 3D pictures directly to the 3D section.
I will be creating a NSFW section with password protected albums, which will be given to users via email upon registration. Those of you who've already registered..uhh I will either email you the password, or you can PM me for it once it goes live.
Next up, I will try and tackle the huge task of videos and possibly 3D videos. Also, user albums may be on the list as well as an "other" section for non wallpaper related pictures (funny pics, memes, etc) and other media. LAST but not least, I may try my hand at creating some sort of app.
So is this just a website or Will there be an android app as well??

For now it's a website that you can browse on your computer OR phone with. You can also download wallpapers from it with your phone as well. I'm hoping to start work on an Android app sometime in the future.

NewsSpot for Google Reader -[R]- 2013-02-01 -[U]- 2012-02-01 -[V]- 3.0

NewsSpot for Google Reader was just released for Windows Phone 8.
This is the Windows Phone 8 update of my app NewsSpot, which is already quite some time available for WP7 (see this thread). Besides the features listed in the other post, NewsSpot for Windows Phone 8 adds the following:
Full lock screen integration with quick and detailed status as well as background image. All updating in the background.
Pin sharp live tiles including the new wide tile style
Fast app resume
New splash screen
All graphics now in high resolution
The usual bug fixes
You can download it here:

I'm looking forward to your feedback!
There is an add-supported version which is restricted to sync max. 200 unread and 50 starred articles, whereas the full version supports up to 1000 unread or starred articles. Additionaly the lock screen background is only available in the full version.
Issue with a live tile.
First of all great app!!! It's FAST and I found the ui is very user friendly. My only gripe right now is the live tile not updating correctly. I setup one group and it is currently saying I have 1000+ unread articles. And putting the live tile into "medium size" actually cuts off the logo. Other than that the app is awesome and is definitely my daily driver for news! Thanks!

Thanks! I'm glad you to hear like NewsSpot.
Yeah, the 1000+ is actually a limitation by the Google Reader API, since it reports the unread counts only up to this limit. There are ways to get around this limitation, but implementing it is awkward (you have to do one web request for every tile instead of getting all unread counts at once).
The cutoff is intended, as I think knowing the number is more important than seeing the logo Otherwise I would have to move the number or make the font smaller, which somehow breaks the default styling of the tiles.
Regards
is there any way for a google reader app to pre-download/fetch the full article so i can read it when i do not have a connection?
Thanks

I get this request indeed more often recently. Technically it should not be that difficult, since all the code is already in place for caching the article previews and their images. I will see what I can do

Well, I'm currently involved in two other projects, so the next updates of NewsSpot might need some time to be released. However, I'm sure it will come this year.
Regards
As you will have already noticed, Google is shutting down its Reader service by the 1st of July. However, this does in no way mean NewsSpot will be retired, too. Please read our Statement to see what's next for NewsSpot.
It's been already a while that we released an update, so here are the news:
(WP8 only) Raised limit of number of synced articles to 2.000 for each starred and reading list
(WP8 only) Added share via QR-code
YouTube videos are started without using an external app
Improved sharing via phone services
Long hold an item in the article list to share it
Accelerated switching between articles
(WP8 only) Fixed bug: autosync on start works again
Happy reading!

Yes, i tried.
Angerfing & Panic Quiz were my last attempts in mobile development. They both didn't get enough downloads because I probably failed with the ideas or with the promotion. However the lack of interest forced me to quit. I literally gave up from everything online back then. I never had to be lucky enough to earn my food with online stuff.

Yeah man devloping apps isnt easy and making a life off it is even harder
Besides the one in a million apps that created a company, ie: uber, lyft...
The thing is they thought of something new that no one had to offer then.
If you want an app to succeed look at what your friends need, ask on social media
Look at what would simplify the lazymans life

so the complete app is now garbage because of a simple icon?
please at least give a few actual arguments and tell them how you'd like the icon to look like..
or make your own.

I'm sorry but where did I state that it was garbage? Seems like you're the one needing to give factual arguments, not me.
As for the icon, I think if a developer wants users to use their app instead of countless other apps that do similar things, they should be original and differentiate not sraight up copy something from other apps. In the case of this app, seems like they worked hard on it and I congratulate them, hopefully they will come up with a nice original icon that better fits their app.
I change this icon in the future. I'm not a graphic designer and so far i'm working on more important things...
I do not steal, I found this icon on google
New update is out. See changelog in app
Update v1.4.1.0:
- Playing music from folders (only sd card)
- Order settings
- Fixes minor bugs
Will be tomorrow
New version is out! Big update See in store
