@IzzySoft I noticed that latest versions of Retro Music Player are no longer available in your repo. As I understand that the devs have no intention of putting their player on F-Droid, I made a forked version of this player. Now, I've only removed Google Play API and I'm not sure what other non-free library this piece of software use. Would you please take a look. This is probably the best music player available in the market.

Describe the bug Cannot give sdcard write permission. Cannot delete songs.

How To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Press 3 dot menu of individual song > delete song
2. Confirm delete
3. Swipe through informational "slide"

Expected behavior System's file selection screen doesn't appear. This is not a problem in Retro.

Device info:

• Device: Huawei Y9 2019

Additional context I have all my songs in sdcard. This app needs sdcard access to delete files. Not a problem in Retro.

Unrelated: Do you plan to stay in sync with Retro?

I'm currently on Android 10 on a Samsung s10e that is running a custom rom close to stock AOSP. When I rotate the app while its open, the app crashes. Another thing I've noticed is that the newseeking feature in Android 10's music player notifications doesn't work, only showing a blank bar. It looks like this has to be implemented manually, though, so it might just be a case of using the code from the latest Retro version for it. Do you think these are possible to be solved/implemented? I saw in other issues that you don't have an Android 10 device to test with, so I'm happy to test any builds to do with these issues on my own device! Cheers

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. There's no easy way to get the latest release of Metro at the moment.

Describe the solution you'd like I suggest submitting a release with the APK on GitHub. I know the release says that it will get to F-Droid in a couple of days, but I didn't expect it to be that long.

At lease for those who want the latest version can get the latest version for the time being.

Describe the bug: Like button in the notification panel is not working, so the songs can't be added as favorite from the notification. (But the like button works perfectly in the Now Playing screen)

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Play a song on Metro.
2. Swipe down the notification panel.
3. Tap on the like button to add as favorite.

Expected behavior: Tapping the like button from the notifications for a song should add that song as a favorite.

Hey dev! I have really enjoyed your app a lot on previous Android versions. Now I have recently upgraded to Android 11 and now I am facing a critical issue.

Yes I have read FAQ and other issues before making this issue.

Crash log I have grabbed the logs but I don't understand it so I can't really explain anything about it.... https://pastebin.com/qxYXwzFp

Is this app a hard fork of Metro, where you have your own roadmap and development of bugfixes and new features?

Or is this a soft fork like Firefox & Fennec F-Droid, where the focus is on taking out the proprietary bits but no heavy development beyond that?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Problem: For some of my albums, when I view their track listings, the font size is very large so many of my songs have their names cut off. For compilations that I have numbered at the end of the song title name, it often means I have no way of knowing which one is it without playing it first. It appears to only show up to 20 characters before cutting off.

Describe the solution you'd like Solution: Please can I request a feature to reduce the size of track listings inside albums. Additionally please can I request this for the main album view too as the text is large there and cuts off the album name too when I switch to the smaller 3x3 grid option.

Describe alternatives you've considered The only alternative I can try is another music player, but I like the design of this player. I know that some players such as Vanilla Music solve this by rendering the song name as two lines if required.

In the album view the tracks are shown in the correct order, but as soon as I tap on "play all", the songs play randomly after the first song. Other than the actual first song being played first, there is no difference between shuffle and play all.

RetroMusicPlayer was recently discontinued. Metro is one of the best music players I've ever used and I'd hate to see it gone. So, @MuntashirAkon, what do you plan to do for the future?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have plenty of full albums downloaded (~40), but I have even more individual songs downloaded (~150) that each take up an entire slot in both Albums & Artists. They're each the only songs by their respective artists, so it makes finding my actual full albums more difficult.

Describe the solution you'd like A context menu option to pin an Album to the top of the Albums menu, & the same option to pin an Artist to the top of the Artists menu.

Describe alternatives you've considered A context menu option to hide albums & artists from showing in the Albums & Artists tabs without blacklisting them. I don't think this would be as effective as pinning though.

Additional context Screenshot of my Albums page. Highlighted in yellow are actual albums with multiple songs, but every other entry are single songs that clutter up the view.

Have you read the FAQ? Yes.

Has the bug already been reported? Please search in GitHub issue tab before creating an issue. No.

Describe the bug I have enabled the option to display the album cover as lockscreen but it does not work, i have tried restarting the app multiple times, but it just doesn't work.

How To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Enable the option to display album cover on lockscreen.
2. Lock the screen

Expected behavior The album cover of the song should be displayed in the lockscreen.

*Additional context

I would like to switch to another music player, but I can't because I have months and months of play count data stored in Metro.

That is a problem for me because: (1) the Most Played section doesn't show the exact play count of songs (2) and that means that I have no way to export the play count data out of the app

Is there a way to manually 'hack' into Metro's app data on my device and manually extract the play count data somehow?

It's quite important to me and I don't mind if it takes me days or weeks to accomplish.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

When I'm in a playlist browsing/listening to music, and I enter the player (which contains pause/play buttons, artwork etc) and from there click myself into an artist, every time I return from the artist view back to the playlist the playlist view location has reset to the beginning of the playlist. This is cumbersome since I have some very long playlists. I'd much rather return to where I left off in the playlist (middle through, for instance) than being reset to beginning

Thanks in advance!
