FLAC aside, it's people's choice of format so why judge them? If it's what they have, they'd rather use what they have rather than go through a conversion process - especially if it's already in some form of compressed format (.ogg, etc.)

My music library's currently encoded entirely in `.opus` format (for best compression:quality ratio), and obviously going to MP3 is just wasting even more space, plus creating second-generation copies is even less desirable.

~~tl;dr: Opus support wen?~~

Some people want the best quality possible, even if it means barely any difference and lots of space wasted. I consider them one of myself. Not to mention if perhaps flac and etc formats never got supported for this in the near future, I would have to go through the pain of converting tons of my playlists to mp3s just to use them on this app.

More formats = more memory/system resources and more time spent on developing something that might otherwise be put to better use.

I would also put a sizeable wager on batch conversion and copying being faster overall by dint of far smaller files (200 songs of 30 something meg FLAC vs near instant/ahead of standard SD write rates conversion to 200 let's say 3 meg MP3s, also saving north of 5 gigs*) on any kind of vaguely modern machine.

*I suppose the switch has no games so you could probably get away with a 16 gig card and have space for videos.

This is really well made, good job, OP! Nice to have a music player on switch

Unfortunately the Switch is a tad too big for a portable music player. Even the lite is still too big. Heck only my DS lite was small enough while folded.

You must have extremely small pockets if you could barely fit a DS Lite in them, get bigger pockets, I can walk around public with a lite in my pocket just fine

Yep that's probably my next main focus - incorporating other audio formats!

Yep! If you've used sys-tune before, it functions fairly similar to that.

It looks good

When you are implementing other formats, please implement Opus support. There are not enough media players that support Opus natively.

My definition of small enough is "Not double the size of an Ipod".

Could it be possible make a standalone kind of version that can be launched through the .nro without need of sys-module?

phalk · Nov 1, 2020

Outstanding, as usual @tallbl0nde !
Your projects are so tidy and clean, I respect you so much. =)

I've been waiting for this, thanks.

GCS · Nov 1, 2020

I started trying this, I am using SX OS. At first, I tried putting a few songs into the music folder, it worked pretty well. After that, I copied approx. 120 songs to the music folder and well, the app stuck at "Preparing library". Waited for something like 1 hour and still not opening. Tried restarting the switch and creating sub-folders but none of them worked.

EDIT: Decreasing song number back didn't work.

Look for special characters. I had the same problem

MINEAlessio · Nov 1, 2020

It tells me that he is unable to connect to sysmodule

You were right, thank you. Tried it out with just 1 song and removed the others. But now I need to rename every song
EDIT: Thankfully Linux had an option for multirenaming

Hopefully with this homebrew on next update can addapte Spotify Connect client service on switch

Thanks for outstanding job

It would be awesome if Spotify would come out as you said. Additionally, Youtube music would be nice too.

wonkeytonk · Nov 1, 2020

Awesome, besides that it's on the Switch!

nWo · Nov 1, 2020

Great!! This kind of work is always, always welcome!!! I use the Switch for playing music and video quite a bit, so this is a great addition. Looking forward to any update and congratulations!! I really appreciate your work, as I am sure all of the scene followers do too!!!

Thanks for the release! I was just looking for a better media player than sys-tune yesterday! Also, can confirm problems with special characters as I had a song with the character ø in the file name, and it got stuck on "Preparing your library...".

When I can find a library for it

Nice. but how can we tell which frequencies are what. It is just 1,2,3,4,5 etc.

The equalizer is a part of the mp3 library, I couldn't find any documentation on it but all I know is that obviously the lower bars control lower frequencies.

cucholix said:

Yes, it would require a decent rewrite of the application though so I may consider that once I've got more important things sorted.

Have you tried rebooting?

Yep I've definitely got to fix that when I have that time

Would be awesome to see this support streams (like online radio streams)

UltimateFight · Nov 2, 2020

I noticed there has a Japanese input methods in the homebrew, but no Chinese or Korean input methods. Actually, I can use Chinese and Korean input methods in eshop and Goldleaf's web browser. If you update the support for multilingual characters, will you update their input method?
In sys-tune's overlay, I can press ZL/ZR to fast forward/fast rewind, hope Tirplayer's overlay can have a similar function.
About the equalizer, I think you can pre-set some existing equalizers, such as "pop", "classical", "vocal" or something, just like some music player.

I have to say, what you make is not only a homebrew or sysmoudle, it is also a artwork! The ui design are super nice! Oh god, it has a fade out effect to exit the homebrew! Forgive my poor English, I can't express my compliments very well.

I had considered something like that but wasn't sure how to handle it + how resource intensive it would make the sysmodule.

I just checked and it's set to use the "default" switch keyboard, not "all". Should be a simple fix!

Thanks for the kind words! Honestly the equalizer is just an interface for the mp3 library, I'd have to do more research into what each band in the equalizer actually means before I can do something like that
