Hey everyone! I'd like to introduce a little something I've been working on since February. After 9 months I believe it's at a state where it's ready for a public release!

Let me introduce TriPlayer, my project that came to be due to the lack of a "proper" audio player for the Nintendo Switch. TriPlayer automatically scans and organizes any audio files you have in the /music folder on the root of your SD card. As pictures speak a thousand words, I'll let the following screenshot help describe it:

Spoiler: Screenshots

As you can see, it handles the metadata embedded within audio files in order to create a complete music library. The music will keep playing while you're playing a game or using another application. Playback can be controlled via the provided Tesla overlay or by pressing button combinations on the controller.

Requirements:

• A recent version of Atmosphere (0.10.0+)
  • TriPlayer may work on other CFWs, however this is untested
  • The sysmodule requires ~3MB of free memory, so this may clash with other sysmodules

• A recent firmware version
  • Once again this hasn't been tested, but some code relies on newer firmwares so I suggest 10.0.0+

• Some music!
  • FLAC, MP3 and WAV are supported at this time

Installation:

1. Download the latest release as a .zip from here
2. Extract the contents to the root of your SD card
3. Place some music in /music
4. Launch the application and wait for the initial scan to complete

GitHub:

A lot more information and usage is covered on my GitHub repo. See the readme for a brief introduction and link to the wiki where everything is covered in detail.

Final Notes:

I hope TriPlayer is useful to many of you who have been wanting a music player on the Switch. As it's quite complex, there's a good chance I've missed some major bugs. Please report these as issues on GitHub. Note that should the sysmodule crash, it will crash the entire OS. While I personally haven't had any crashes while both listening and not listening to music, I recommend stopping the sysmodule (either via the app or overlay) when you're not using it if you want to be extra safe.

Enjoy!

Will it support 24 bit depth files?

 

[TheRedfox]

Does it support 24 bit depth files?

Since when does MP3 support 24bit depth?

"It tells me that he is unable to connect to sysmodule"

On SX OS you need to move 4200000000000FFF folder from atmosphere\contents to /sxos/titles

Still got the same error: "an error occurred comunicating with the sysmodule. Check that it is running and up-to-date!".
What can I do? I am using SX OS.

1, Need a multi-select function, multi-select the songs and then add to the playlist.(or delete them)

The following suggestions may be based on my personal usage habits:
2, Remember the selected play mode, I like to play music in "list loop" mode, every time I launch TriPlayer, I have to click twice to switch to "list loop".
3, Click on the song's picture in the bottom left corner to switch to full screen mode. (same function as that full screen button)
4, Function to delete song files. As you know, I have some songs with Non-English characters, when I used sys-tune, I needed to translate their file names into English then put them to my switch (gee that's very weird), now I can rename them to 1, 2, 3 .......mp3 and then TriPlayer will recognize their real names. Such renamed files are not easy to manage, so it would be nice to be able to delete them with TriPlayer.

hello, I'm having problems with the app since it keeps loading in preparing your library. Is there any way to fix it?
Edit; i fix it removing the special characters

 

[ErvinGarcia1122]

Look for special characters. I had the same problem

Bro thank you

 

[MichelFer1992]

I LOVE IT!!! can't wait for the flac and m4u support (if you do it of course)

 

[JumpBee]

Thankyou for your artwork

 

[Zumoly]

Two things would make the homebrew even more awesome Sir:
1. Folder play (playlists are thus easily created)
2. Volume control within Tesla

Enjoying this neat homebrew so much!

 

[thaikhoa]

Thanks so much!!!

Since when does MP3 support 24bit depth?

You can have 24 bit depth Mp3 files but they are basically useless as most of the information gets cut off anyway due to compression , the creator did mention that he would ad FLAC file support soon so thats what I was asking, it looks like I phrased the question incorrectly, sorry for any inconvenience the thread has been edited.

Great app!
If someone wants to convert a Spotify playlist to MP3 I am recommending to use
tuneskit with a free test account without any limits.

And for converting special characters you can use Bunk Rename Utility. You can select the whole folder, so that's really useful. Remember to check "Accents" in the "remove" tab.

I think I have found an issue. The game "SupraLand" keeps crashing Atmosphere and points to the program 0100000000000014.

 

[thaikhoa]

Ni No Kuni keep crashing after loading savedata.
010000000000100F

stop the sysmodule to fix it

I believe these are both crashing due to the Switch running out of Audio sessions (0100000000000014 is the ID of the audio service), so these can't be fixed. I'll add a blacklist/auto shutown feature to stop the sysmodule when these games are launched in the future.

Just wanted to say this is THE homebrew app I've been looking forward to! You made my day when I found this .

It be cool if Nintendo add some multimedia features to the switch, like with the 3ds. But i get their focus is on games not all-in-one entertainment. This looks awesome and having playback during a game just seals the deal!

 

[Impossible_Igntiz]

I know this is asking too much already but will it be possible to add .mp4 video playback soon? this app looks perfect to do so or would that be a separate app instead? Thank You very much for this regardless!

If I knew how to, I'd put it in a separate app. Unfortunately that's a whole another beast that isn't anywhere near as simple as music playback.

 

[tallbl0nde]

I've made a small change to the homebrew application, could those who have been having issues with song metadata (i.e. characters showing as ☒) give this .nro a test for me? You just need to overwrite the current .nro in /switch/TriPlayer/. All going well, any missing characters should fall back to the Switch's font in order to render them. I think they may be a little big/off center, so please let me know what you think!

Also in case anyone asks, this has nothing to do with the "preparing your library" freeze. This is completely different.

EDIT: I don't know why it posted twice, both files are the same
