Winamp Android features/bugs discussion thread

[bradsh]

Shuffle is implemented incorrectly, and not at all similar to the way Winamp for Windows does it, nor iTunes or iPod. This should be a simple fix.

Archos 70 Internet Tablet always crashes with 0.92

Hy I have an Archos 70 Internet Tablet with 2.1 Eclair on it. And the last days i tested winamp 0.91. It runs very well no Crashes. Today I updated to Version 0.92 and it crashes all the time. Now I am downgrading to 0.91.

Setting for syncing to EXTERNAL sd card?

Loving Winamp right now, but can we please tell it where we want files stored? I hate everything storing on the internal SD.

The desktop client gets stuck on "connecting" in the device Transfers panel when sending a file to my Android (HTC Incredible) that has the same artist and title as a previously uploaded track. (i'm using wifi sync.) For example, I have two copies of "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want by the Smiths (one that came with a the Smiths album, another that was part of a soundtrack.) This happened with another "duplicate" I have as well.

(Allowing us to specify filename and folder of destination track would help us avoid this, too? Since we could choose to include the album in the filename?)

Shoutcast can't play requested stream.

So fat everything is great but I don't like how the lock screen works. Lock screen is a must have of course but I don't like how it takes the entire screen, only leaving the small top bar with the time, I'd like to be able to keep the time in big and also please leave the date too! Also I plug my phone in my car to listen to music but sometimes I want to skip songs so if you could move the buttons from the bottom of the screen to the middle of it it would be great for easier access.
I'm using a HTC Evo 4G.
Thanks!

When I receive a call I cannot answer with the headphones ... It just stop / start the current song ... With the internal player I can press the play button on the headphones and answer or hanghup a call ...

Still not working in 0.92 ... I own a Nexus One with 2.2.1

When I open the shoutcast section ... When I choose Top Radio ... or anything else (a search for exemple) always receiving "error parsing" ....

Because of those two bug ... I uninstall until fixed ...

Thanks ... without those bugs, great apps...

I created a new topic for v0.9.2 with all the newest bugs.

I'm having some issues related to wireless sync.

I have Win XP with (of course) the latest version of winamp
phone is HTC incredible with froyo, as well as the latest version of winamp for android.

first of all, random songs will not transfer, random songs, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason, will just say 'connecting' under status and NEVER transfer, and it will not proceed down the list. other things will transfer beautifully.
i tried to use USB, but winamp just wants to dump my entire library onto my phone again, since it recognizes it as a different device.

also: it would be nice if I could store music on the phone storage as well as the SD card.

Using Winamp 5.6 on XP and 0.9.2 on Motorola Droid, Android 2.2.

Playlist synchronization via WiFi does not work properly. If the playlist exists on the device already, it will not update with new songs. If it doesn't exist on the device already, some random selection of tracks--as few as one or as many as 50--on the playlist will be added to the device in some random order. Playlist syncing works properly via USB.

Album art in ID3 tags does not transfer when syncing via USB, but it does transfer when syncing via WiFi.

I have a very annoying bug on my HTC EVO 4G.
If I'm listening to music through the phone's jack in my car (plugged on the car's stereo) and I have my bluetooth headset on and I get a call, the music pauses on pick up, I make my call then when I hang up, the music resumes and if I try to access winamp before the screen goes off (when I hangup from the bluetooth the screen lights up to show that I hung up), then android's desktop crashes and I can see it reloading the same way as if I restarted my phone and it takes at least 10 seconds before I can do anything with it again.
This bug happens 90% of the time, I almost want to uninstall it but waiting to see if the next release will fix this.

This seems to be a bug, but I need to narrow it down a bit better.

I use Winamp 0.9.2 on my Samsung i5800 with 2.1. My phone sits on a rack connected to a car kit via the 3.5mm jack.

I have found three times now when I've gone over judder bars, Winamp will totally lock up. I don't know whether it's something in the accelerometer that Winamp can't handle or what.
