Album Player is an Android music player app that puts the emphasis on the album. The app encourages you to play music album by album. It keeps track of where you left off within a specific album even if you switch to a different one. Album year and number of plays are displayed prominently on multiple screens.
This app is a work in progress primarily set up for me to try out various API's, designs and techniques related to Android development. At the same time it correctly handles a couple of things that seem to be buggy even in Google's official music player such as:
- Displays correct length of MP3 files stored with a variable bit-rate (VBR)
- Correctly displays song and albums names that contain special (UTF-8) characters
Also, every music lover knows that albums are pieces of art that should be played as a whole, so this app tries to take care of that ;)
