Hi all, within the last year I've been using my first smartphone, and with that recently have been able to expand the memory, and load a large portion of my music collection in flac format. I'm using Foobar 1.0.94; installing any later version just gives me the message that this software is not compatible with android.
-----small side note----
I want to update to a newer version of the android system, which apparently is 8.1. I've successfully downloaded the update, which has taken about a month, because where I live has little wi fi connectivity. I was wanting to back the update file up first, before installing, but apparently asking about the location where the file has downloaded to was enough to get me booted off the Lenovo help forum. I would have liked to back the file up, just incase of any problems or corruption issues. This is just explaining why I'm still on android 7.11.
-----back on topic-----
But now my main question is trying to find a music player or DSP plugin for foobar that can crossfades songs properly. I've tried a number of programs, but they ALL crossfade as in introducing a fade both at the end of the song, and the start of the next. So in other words, the beginning of any track is never a hard start. It always fades in, and the first few seconds of the song is missing.
Idealistically I would like the song to fade off naturally as it does from the album, and at a given db point, the player would trigger the next track without any fades; just playing normally.
I thought this would have been relatively simple, but I'm trying to find something that would start the next song at the point in which the previous song's ending falls below a nominated threshold level, such -33db, and then start the next song WITHOUT killing the residual of the previous song's fade that would still be taking place underneath.
They are players out there that come close, but all stubbornly fade the intro of the new song in regardless. Below are my system specs, hoping someone please could forward any recommendations.
Thanks from wintery sydney.

Hi community.
I have Asus TF101 running on rooted 3.2.1, Revolver 3.11 ROM.
Here's situation:
I've installed from mobile market a game named Blood&Glory. It downloaded additional files, game start ok, I've played for few minutes and quit it. Later, I've decided to run it again but can't find it in installed apps. Mobile market's "My apps" also do not have it in list as if I haven't installed it ever. But web market do says that I have it installed. It was yesterday.
Today, I was going to watch some movie on my TF101, so I plugged earbuds and surprise! I was hearing music from that Blood&Glory game intro! Interesting thing is that when I plugged out earbuds, music stops playing - I can't hear it on internal speakers, but when I plug them back - I can hear various game tracks changing each other. Furthermore, it not shown in running process list. I've rebooted device and odd behavior seem disappear. I have to mention, I switched device off for night, so it feels like this game loaded when I plugged in earbuds.
I am very confused and concerned about it. Please advise how can I get rid of this nasty thing?
just format your phone.

It's a tablet. Maybe try to discover the game file name and search over /data for anything about the app, over /cache too, and maybe on the rest of the device (/sdcard and whatever is called the internal memory for media and such in devices with huge internal memory).
Hello,
I work for a corporate TV channel that broadcasts in hotels. We have a 1hr program that changes every month and is looped all day every day on the channel. We have our own equipment inside each hotel. Currently we distribute USB sticks with the new show on every month. It's time consuming and expensive.
We want to start updating the show more regularly - every week, maybe sometimes every day. Short of fully-fledged IPTV, we want a system whereby we can quickly and easily distribute the new version of the show over the internet... in HD. There is another complication. Each client needs a slightly unique set up; as well as the regularly updated show, they also have a unique video about their hotel. The two videos play in a loop.
Yes, we could use Focus Media to do it (I think). But we want to do it cheaper if possible...
An idea I've had:
Use Android boxes (like the Mele A2000) at the client side with Dropbox installed. This will synchronise a folder on the client machine with a centralised office machine. When we update the show in the office, it is automatically updated on the client.
But... if the client is playing a video when it is updated, the video will halt as Dropbox deletes old versions of a file and replaces them with a new one. So... We could use two playlists that alternate each day. Playlist A will play the local hotel video then the current show from Dropbox. Playlist B plays the same but from different files. As long as the playlist A show file is updated when playlist B is playing and vice-versa, the stream won't have to close. I was thinking I could schedule a task whereby the correct playlist starts at the beginning of each day (i.e. Playlist A starts running at midnight on Monday, Wed, Fri, playlist B starts at midnight on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday).
I would use webkey as a remote access system, allowing me to administer each machine individually should issues arise.
I've got as far as playing playlist files - android doesn't seem to like them. I'm playing around with .pls files but not having much luck. Does anyone know how to build a .pls file to play videos on android?
Also... Is this an overly complicated idea? If anyone has opinions/advice I'd appreciate it, and be ruthlessly honest!
Cheers guys,
Jim
Having an issue where after boot and sometimes all of the sudden during the day, the phone gets hot and battery level drops l like ton of bricks. Using Android Task Manager App and enabling monitor of system processes and selecting realtime monitor, I've traced the problems to "android.process.media". This appears to be something to do with Android scanning the device for media files (audio/video/etc) and creating some sort of database. I also usually see the "Music Enhancer" process which has to do with Beats Audio according to HTC (but I have Beats turned off.)
I've seen old threads of people with same problem and in some cases it had to do with a "corrupted" media file and they had to remove all media files and/or factory reset their device. I just spent an entire weekend customizing this device! Plus, how the heck do you prevent yourself from copying the corrupted file over if it was a corrupted mp3 or something?
I'm pretty sure my issue stems from the fact I used my media manager (Media Monkey) to sync over 2,800 audio files to the device. My collection is of high bitrate quality, about 16GB worth of music. I'm pretty sure this is what it is choking on. What I'm not sure of is if the Media Scan the Android device is performing is just a "normal check" for changes/addition/deletions to any of the media files. This of course would take a lot of time and CPU if it has to scan 2,800 files every reboot or periodically. It seems launching Google Play sometimes starts it too as I also sometimes see Google Play Service:Music or something like that (even though I don't stream any of my audio from Google Play.)
I'm expecting this is a more widespread issue than people know. I think in many cases it could be at the root of many people's battery issues on Jelly Bean phones, especially if they have a lot of media files.
If anyone has any recommendations as to what I should do or more information about this, please let us know!

Hi all,
I have a Klyde head unit for my Honda Civic, This one.
- I am running Malaysk's latest ROM from 12 Feb.
-I use CarHomeUltra as my launcher by allowing it to take over the home button (only the software button though, it will not take over the physical home button).
-I have Google Play Music set up as my preferred media player in all places I could find (Carhomeultra, headunit app, the xposed modules) and I have it setup so that it starts playing music right away by using Automagic which is an app like Tasker.
-This whole setup starts once my phone's bluetooth pairs with the head unit, at that time my phone starts a wifi hot spot and the head unit connects to it and does its thing. It all works, but it takes what seems like forever to actually start playing music. This has worked great on earlier setups that I had so I don't know if I have mucked everything up with conflicting settings in the xposed modules or not.
-It is about 30 sec to actually load up android (has been that way since a very early MCU that I was on where android loaded in like 18 sec!), this part I have come to accept. But it takes up to 3 minutes for all my steps to kick in and actually start playing the music.
-I have messed with the PCV startup app, added Google Play Music, automagic, bluetooth, carhomeultra, and anything else I could think of to speed it up. Now when android loads up, I am right at the google play music screen, so that seems to be working.
Do you guys have an efficient setup or know of the best way for me to get this working as optimal as possible? I love how we have a dedicated forum now but still find it difficult to find exactly what you are looking for.
Apologies for perhaps using the wrong forum, I have to wait to create this thread in either the "general" or "Q&A" forum.

Hi,
I have been using my Nexus 7 (2012) in my car as a satnav and for listening to music by plugging it into the radio usb input. It played music fine using Google play but it's a bit slow now for the satnav bit so I bought an M5 tablet.
Satnav app works ok but getting the music to play is not so good.
With the Nexus I would connect it to the radio with a usb cable, switch on the radio, select usb, open Google play, select the album, select play and off it went....easy. Not the same with the M5, after opening google play I'm asked to select connection mode, charging, MIDI, transfer files, transfer photos. If I select any option other than charging it reverts after a couple of seconds to charging and occasionally plays the music after about 20 seconds (missing this part of the album). If I pause or stop then it'll occasionally stop or just continue.
If the Nexus can do all this well then surely the M5 can, am I doing something wrong.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
Cheers
Ron
Is your screen on when music cuts out?
Not sure about USB - but via bluetooth, EMUI devices have issues with background music playback. Your screen needs to be on and your music player needs to be in the foreground. Otherwise, EMUI situationally (I think it depends on the msuic player app and available RAM and other things) kills bluetooth/media processes in the name of battery optimization. Music playback behavior becomes as you describe. It's usually fixed temporarily by toggling bluetooth on and off a couple times, or it's fixed permanently by freezing the Power Genius app (with root).
That's not necessarily your problem - but just saying...
Thanks,
I've been through all the settings (I think) but no change, it's pretty rubbish really that a 6 year old tablet outperforms the M5 on a feature that you would imagine should get better integrated into a more modern device. The M5 may have some good features but there are some aspects that are difficult to live with and ultimately i'll probably return it.
Cheers

I think it's the Android version that is ``causing`` this, not the Mediapad M5
Hi,
Thanks, that's interesting, do I understand that you think that it's a feature (or glitch) in Android 8 and therefore all devices (all makes) running this version will be experiencing the same? It would be hard to believe that this version would be released without testing to see whether such a common use for these devices would work as they have for many years!
I'm really looking for a fix/work around.
Cheers
Ron
