Timidity AE Midi Player apk Description
Timidity Android Edition Beta is a unique music player.
It is capable of playing high quality midi, mp3, and m4a files as well as wav and many amiga tracker formats.
The app can also play *some* flac, ogg, and aif files. If the quality is bad when playing those formats, it is because they are not at a frequency of 44.1kHz.
How to use:
When TimidityAE starts, wait for the Saving message to disappear. On the first run, it will take some time as it needs to download the midi patch files. It is recommended that at least 50mb be free on your external storage. After this is completed, the app will display a file browser of your sdcard/external storage.
Simply browse to a song you wish to play, tap it, and enjoy.
To return to the file browser, press the back button.
To go back to the player from the file browser, press the menu button and select 'Now Playing'.
Music controls:
The button containing a star toggles shuffle mode, the button containing the X toggles song looping, and the button containing a square is the stop button.
To configure soundfonts:
Go into settings, check "Use Fluidsynth" and select one or more soundfonts with the Choose soundfont(s) button. Then press menu and tap "Add Items" to pick a soundfont. Restart the app and enjoy your soundfont.
*Known Issues:
If back-end crashes, the player returns back to the file browser where song loading does not work. (App will simply quit since 1.0b)
MP3/M4A:
Music will stop and control buttons will randomly stop working. Simply re select the music file again and it should work. Rarely, the file browser chooses the wrong file for whatever reason. Again, simply reselect the song again to fix it temporarily.
Playlist Creation:
1. Press the menu button and select 'Playlists'
2. Press the menu button and select 'New Playlist'
3. Enter the name of your new playlist.
4. Tap the playlist, press the menu button again, and select add songs.
5. Add songs via the file browser. Press the back button until you are back in your playlist.
6. Tap any song on your playlist to play it.
Plans for version 1.0:
*Playlists (Since version 0.9.4b)
*Settings (Good since 1.0b)
*Open file with this app (Since version 0.9.2b)
*Soundfont support (Since version 1.0b)
Localizations (Not much to translate yet)
And as always, bug fixes
NOTE 1: This app is quite processor intensive as it is based on SDL. Switch to other apps while playing music at your own risk.
NOTE 2: Yes this is a beta and is not guaranteed to work properly with any music file.
NOTE 3: Libraries used:
fluidsynth
glib
gthread
SDL
sdl_mixer
flac
mikmod
ogg
tremor
vorbis
People whom without this app would not be possible:
Pelya for porting sdl_mixer to android.
Paul for helping me hook up the C code.
