Sharp Musicplayer 2.0

[jagrka]

The new Sharp Musicplayer 2.0 is now available for public download at the website noted below. Perhaps, like Photostorage, this program can be tweaked to work on older SL-CXXX models.

Any new features

Any real goodies to give a reason to make one (C7xx users with Cacko) upgrade from Kino and mplayer and move back to Sharp Player ?

[jagrka]

The new features appear to include:
Support for multiple playlists
Improved music file sorting
Support for WMP10 synchronization
Smart play function, which allows one to set the time to stop playing, the length to play, etc.
Personalized ranking of songs up to 5 stars
Displays a picture during playback of each individual song.
Displays the next three upcoming songs, even in random play mode.

The ipk includes a preinstall that checks to make sure that the model number="SL-C3000". Otherwise, it doesn't appear to be dependent on any libraries or external files that are not already included in the ipk.
One important note is that it overwrites the old musicplayer files (bin, plugin files, help, etc).

So what would it take to make this available to sl-6000 users

that file didnt work but the one on the sharp website did

By editing the "preinstl" file in the CONTROL directory so that it checks my /proc/deviceinfo/product for "SL-C760" instead of "SL-C3000", I was able to re-build the ipk and install without problems. The same process of installing can be done by just extracting and manually installing the files in the ipk DATA directory.
The problem is that when I run musicplayer from the console, I get the following fatal error message:

musicplayer: error while loading shared libraries: musicplayer: undefined symbol: getRootPath__15SlStorageInfoExi

This is beyond my limited knowledge, so perhaps someone else can recommend a solution that might lead to getting this program to run on other models. The Cacko Team has done wonderful work in the past porting programs over, maybe they will have more luck.

Try this package:

http://cacko.oesf.org/downloads/musicplaye...0_2.0.0_arm.ipk

It works on my C750 with Cacko ROM.

Thanks - this also works on my C860 with Cacko Light (and app looks much better than old version of Sharp player). But unfortunatelly .ogg files are not recognized in this version.

did you try wma, it seems to be advertised but i dont know japanese. I would only use it if iit supported ogg or wma as their compression is better than mp3s. all my music is encoded to ogg for listening on the go.

I will only use .ogg on my z going forward. I did try to use mp3 as that's what I use on my powerbook but none of the z players I tried (kino, sharp player, tkcplayer) can handle the mp3 tags generated in itunes so I could not sort on album, author, etc - therefore I gave up on mp3 and converted all my cd's into ogg. With ogg at least tkcplayer does everything properly so I'm sticking with that player for now although I would prefer to just use kino for everything and will switch back to that when/if Maslovsky fixes current problems (I have had major problems with kino keys taking over other apps and general instability of machine after running current kino2).

[tovarish]

I would really like a good ogg music player. No offence to you maslovsky, but kino2+mplayer is excellent for videos but for music ...

The graphic equaliser support in mplayer sucks even at 472 MHz, while my clie can play ogg + equalizer underclocked at 100 MHz. I loved the equaliser output so much in the clie that I dont enjoy listening to music in the Zaurus. I now have to carry 2 PDAs . I had really thought that the zaurus would have had better music support than the clie.

Are there any other command line players that I could compile for the zaurus with ogg + equalizer support.
Maslovsky maybe you could extend your kino2 to support one other command line player for music. Any suggestions there would be welcome.

I don't understand what equalizer is needed for. With good earphones (Sharp HP-MD33-S are the best for their price), I don't feel a need for an equalizer...

Which one?

Hahaha, the English messages are priceless.

he he i dont know, i was asking for suggestions for a good decoder to port. I will look at ogg123 but it doesnt seem to have equalizer support and mpg123 doesnt have ogg support.

I do have good earphones, its is just a matter of what one is used to. I have always listened to music with a certain equalizer pattern and now it is almost psychological
