    Music Player (Remix)

    Well, it looks like it's time for my annual-ish post to this thread with a question. I'm a paid customer of the Remix app, and today my Samsung Galaxy S7 got the Android Oreo upgrade. So now I'm discovering all sorts of little things that need to be reconfigured in all my apps. In Remix, I...

    Music Player (Remix)

    Yes! That works! I had already done that sort, so it seems I just have to reselect it every time. I did my weekly update today and it worked (listening right now). The only other thing I had to do to was to get the fine controls onto the lock screen (5/30/60 second jumps, the main reason I...

    Music Player (Remix)

    Hmmm. This is puzzling for sure. Here is the sequence of what I would do on the old phone with the older app: 1. Transfer in the new files. 2. Drag out the right menu and select "Shuffle All". (This was a workaround step because, for whatever reason, the OS would not notify your app that...

    Music Player (Remix)

    Hi ... I'm migrating to a new phone and have installed Remix on it (purchased). I've figured out how to do things either via the helpful tips that are presented the first time, or by searching this thread. The one thing I can't figure out how to do is get the Now Playing list to sort...

    DROID RAZR M: 4.4.2 KitKat Update

    Re: RAZR M: KitKat Update I have had a problem with my RAZR M ever since the 4.4.2 update -- the clock was not staying in sync with reality. I have an NTP app that I use to confirm exact time (ClockSync), and it tells me how far out of sync the device is from the actual global (NTP) time...

    Wifi Automatically Turning On?

    That's exactly what CheesyChester said above. Thank you CC! My wife got a Samsung Galaxy S II and we found that occasionally the battery would get slammed. I found all sorts of fun Samsung BS to disable (e.g. AllShare and Kies media sharing software, no thanks) and that probably helped the...

    Memo pad/notes

    Bumping this up now that Catch.com suddenly closed down over the weekend. Losers. Here we go again.

    Music Player (Remix)

    Well, you're saying every problem I've pointed out simply does not exist. I guess I hope you'll eventually re-read my original reports, reconsider, and make the improvements I'm suggesting. Especially the prefs and documention issues. Thanks again and good luck.

    Music Player (Remix)

    There is no album art for the files I'm listening to. It's output from an audio recording system. I would love to just revert to the CD image that you are using (or is it the indexer that provides it?) but that's what I can't do. OK fine, I made a custom image as I described (I think you...

    Music Player (Remix)

    Thanks. I decided not to pollute this thread with a request for voice memo app guidance :) Two new questions: 1. Maybe more of a bug ... I listen to archival material recorded on a custom system, so there is no album artwork or even song track structure. So when playing a track, I saw the...

    Music Player (Remix)

    Quick question: when installing, I see that the app permissions list that the app uses the hardware to record audio. Does this app record voice memos, or is this permission just needed for the karoake mode?

    Any music player that does TiVo-style skip forward/backward?

    So far so good. A couple times the app has reset a track back to the beginning -- I had it paused in the middle, and when I return to the app, I find it's at the beginning of the track instead of where I left it. Everything I listen to is in the form of 30-minute tracks (from an audio...

    Any music player that does TiVo-style skip forward/backward?

    OK, Dan, you're on. I just downloaded the trial and will try it for a week. I like those skip buttons! (once I found them) The app was disorienting at first, until I figured out A) the hidden overlay buttons concept and B) the sliding menus from left right and bottom. You should not have...

    Any music player that does TiVo-style skip forward/backward?

    UPDATE: I've been using TinyPlayer successfully since December. It does the FF/RW jumps exactly as I want. My only annoyance is that the play controls are on a slider and keep sliding away, and I wish they were on a page that I could just leave it on. Sadly, the latest update to the app (why...

    GPS location in Google Maps breaks after 4.1.2 update

    My Razr M got the 4.1.2 update a few days ago, and seemed to work fine afterwards. However this weekend I discovered that GPS location wasn't working inside Google Maps app. It would pop up a message saying "please enable Google apps location access". Doing some Googling led me to forum...
