Winamp Android Feature Request Survey

[RgnKjnVA]

I've completed the survey but hoping to get a long-standing question I've had answered here...

On the desktop, users are able to 'surf' their ShoutCast Favorites stations with Prev/Next buttons but on Android those buttons are disabled. It's somewhat maddening while driving to have to go through the window-shade method of station selection...and kinda dangerous. Is there a technical reason those buttons are disabled?

Enable those Prev/Next buttons and add a lyrics feature and I'm one happy camper!

New Winamp Survey

We have heard your requests and are making headway on making Winamp for Android the best media player for Android phones. Many features are in the works, such as: an equalizer, a browse by folder function, additional codecs, cross fade, gapless playback, song/stream ID, replay gain, & SHOUTcast recommended stations, just to name a few.

Please take a new survey that will help us figure out what other features you want to see in Winamp: http://bit.ly/winampsurvey

your second question FORCED me to choose a $ amount, when NOTHING is what i wanted but wasn't a choice!

I hoped there would be a section in the end of the survey for other recommendations. I wish there would be a way to randomize albums (called Album of the Day in the one MP3 player I've seen this option the Creative Zen line). I still would want the album to play in it's correct track order, I just would want a way to randomize which album to play.

Short of this I would like the app to remember which album I last played or at least the last position in the Album list. Although this does hold for as certain amount of time after browsing the Albums list, if enough time goes by the list is reset to the top.

Aside from that, this is well on its way on being one of my favorite apps for my phone in general. Adding a few more features and solving some of the memory issues I sometimes run into would take it over the top. I usually try to avoid paying for an app if I can but this is one I use all day every day and would have no issues paying for it.

keep up the good work!

Hello

Don't know if someone ask that, but it will be very usefull if we will be able to chose folder to scan or we can exclude some folder from scan because I have 800+ sound in games folder, for examples, that winamp want to play as music.

No matter, I found a way : .nomedia file in folder I doesn't want to be scanned.

I would REALLY like an equalizer like the one in winamp for windows. Iv used winamp since 1998, and i really love the windows version.

My other point is something that I didn't see mentioned before. The lockscreen is a fairly good idea, but in my opinion it's somewhat broken by the fact that, at least on a HTC phone (Desire in my case), after touching the lock icon on Winamp's screen, you're back on the default Sense lockscreen and have to swipe again to finally access your home !

After only a few minutes of use, I disabled Winamp's lockscreen. I'd rather have to unlock the default lockscreen to be able to use Winamp, than to have to unlock two screens to access anything else on my phone !

My dream would be that Winamp could interact with Sense's lock screen, to display the album art and a few controls, as the Sense music player does, but I guess that's not gonna happen.

Failing this, it would be nice if Winamp's lockscreen took the place of the default lockscreeen : a swipy gesture of some sort to unlock, leading directly to your home screen.

Then again, I don't know if this problem affects non-HTC Sense phones...

+1, the lock screen is the only thing why i now use Sense player rather than winamp.

There is still no word on any plugin capability for Winamp Android. Is there the possibility of being able to use or port over existing plugins for Winamp PC into Winamp Android? I would love to have a player that could handle both my regular music files and my PSF/PSF2/SMC/NSF files. That'd sure save a crapton of space on my SD card.

Also a preference to force the "stay awake" option would be wonderful. Having to manually select it in Applications -> Development -> Stay Awake all the time is irritating, especially since my Epic 4G just loves to "forget" that setting. Can be disastrous when driving and it suddenly forgets this setting, making me resort to TWO lock screen unlocks.

Amazing!!! MUST HAVE NUMBER 1

I have audiogalaxy on my android and it's incredible.
If this feature could it be integrate in winamp with EQ
Sure I will pay to have it!

FEATURE REQUEST:
The Audiogalaxy app lets you connect to your home computer through Wifi when you are not home. So, instead of having all of your music on your phone- you pretty much stream your collection over Wifi. Problem is, they don't support Last.FM scrobbling. As someone who ONLY uses Winamp on my PC- can you pleaseeeeee add this feature? I have over 40 gigs of music and no way to put all of that on my phone. LOL.

Love the player thanks for the hard work!!!
Feature request list:

1. Song ratings with support to view song ratings on PC through winamp (or natively through windows) - Would also love to be able to build a playlist of all 4 star or 5 star songs (or both 4 and 5 or just unrated songs, etc. - basically more dynamic playlist building options) - It'd also be cool to modify a song rating from the lock screen - it would also be amazing to see song ratings when viewing the song list

2. Native Lock Screen/stay awake option
(this can be done with 3rd party support with KeepScreen - free)
3. Force Portrait Orientation
(can be done with 3rd party apps - would love native support)
4. Volume button control options when locked or screen off?
(available in some other media players and/or ROMs)

Thanks again, love the app!

It would be nice if I could have a option to choose where to put my music and choose if winamp should search only this directory for music.
Im using Asus eee tab tf101 and it looks like i got 1 sd card in it and winamp syncs the music in the internal memory and not the external sd card..

Since this is a feature request I would do anything to get this one. I used PowerAMP before and the cool feature it has is TAGging a song you are listening to on ShoutCast radio.
Most of the time I listen to ShoutCast and I like a song that I want to get later. The easiest thing for me is to hit a button to tag that song and put it in a list then I have the name of the song and artist. Otherwise I have to get a piece of paper and write it down. Wish WinAmp has such feature (Windows and Android)

I was, until a few nights ago, using Winamp as my go-to android media player, but after looking at the different options on the market, there are several things that seem lacking in this particular app, enough to make me change it for the time being. Things I would love to see are:

- Song ratings

- A more robust lock screen: most of the music players in the market (but paid and free) have the ability to swipe or use buttons with a locked screen to interact with the app. The one that comes to mind, in terms of swiping, as a pretty good one is doubleTwist (the player I'm currently using) while PlayerPro gives you the chance of you using your volume rocker or your handsfree to control the tracks.

- Sleep timer: this would set winamp apart from most of the players in the market, since very few offer this option. On the free side, we have Mort which offers it as a stock feature and on the paid side PlayerPro and PowerAmp offer it too.

- UI: The dragging aspects of Winamp is one of the things I miss, since it made so convinient to jump from Now Playing to the playlist manager, but locking the screen on portrait would make things even better.


I'm going to keep an eye on the app, because it's completely irreplaceable on my PC, but it could use some upgrades on Android.

I took the survey

GREAT APP!!! Just two requests
1) update gtalk status on my phone with playing track. none of the thirdparty apps I've tried work (Samsung Galaxy S running Froyo)
2) Control from lock screen
