[RELEASE] Mp3 ME Player

[caliarbor]

Hi all,

*
I've tested this on my PSP Slim at 3.90m33-3 with no problems. I did have issues when I was running 3.71. Not sure about compatability with 3.80.

To install copy eboot.pbp and support.prx to a folder in ms0:/PSP/GAME
*

After going through Sakya's Lightmp3 source and Slasher's filebrowser examples, I decided to piece together a small text based mp3 player. It only handles mp3s and is done in the style of a dos/ansi type app. By default it's clocked at 37mhz to conserve battery life.

All mp3s have to be in the ms0:/MUSIC directory (no sub directories are scanned for now) and all cover art is looked for in ms0:/MUSIC/covers. Covert art is matched by album name only in the ID3 tag and is expected to be in *.jpg format. For best results I normally pull the art from somewhere such as Amazon and resize to 170x170. Any different dimensions probably won't look so good. Cover art isn't required and is only displayed if found in the appropriate location.

The controls are pretty simple:

Left/Right move up or down 5 places in listing
Up/Down move up or down 1 place in listing
Cross - play highlighted file
Square - Pause current mp3
Triangle - Rescan directory
Start - Toggle USB
Select - Toggle Playmode
Analog up/down - Control volume
Analog left/right - Previous/Next track

I think the only limitation of the number of files would be the PSPs memory, As directory arrays are dynamically sized according to the number of files present. Files are streamed from the memory stick and not loading into memory fully before playing.

This isn't yet meant to be a full-featured player by any means. Just a small example, with included source, in case anyone is interesed

IIRC I think the only thing that wasn't working right in 3.71 was the sceRtcGetCurrentClockLoca lTime function from psprtc.h.

nice

Can you give me some reasons why use this instead of LightMP3 ?

Light Mp3 crashes everytime I try to use the playlist,
so if it gets a playlist, there's one reason.

That's not the intent. I did this to meet my specific needs (I only use mp3, etc) and because I enjoy coding and learning about the PSP development environment. But at some point if I get the time I plan to implement playlists, different sorting methods, etc.

Thanks. Your PSP filebrowser example helped tremendously for getting started with the directory management part =P

If you are learning, then why do you post this now? It should be better if you released this with playslist, sorting, etc

But nice work anyway
Good luck with your coding career

Maybe he doesn't want to add that and maybe he wants to give something to us?
Why don't you be grateful.

i know its not like you and your so called team release unfinished things. oh wait thats a lie.

this looks good, especially for something to learn coding much better, keep it up dude

[Matt93]

Nice job! I guess this is a good coding experience for you. I can't see any reason to use this instead of the PSPs music player combined with the new Hold.prx, though.

I'm just giving comments(Positive and negative, can be useful to). I didn't remember i asked you something?

The point, Maxy, is that you are, inappropriately, giving the same feedback/advice to the creator of this application WHICH SHOWS WORK AND ACCOMPLISHMENT that everybody tries to give you with every single release you ever make, your applications all showing little work and/or accomplishment, or accomplishment with very little on top to make it useful. You're being a hypocrite, and that's why nobody likes you.

Hey budd, I suggest you just shut up. You are so ****y and full of yourself, it makes me want to barf in my mouth.

Also, I was kindly made aware that your website has my filebrowser code under the 'coding examples' tab - funny thing is, you didn't have the courtesy of creditting me. Now normally I would probably tell you off and ask you to remove it, but I'm a nice guy. Please, if you decide to steal my code and paste it onto your site have the decency of creditting me. That's all I ask.
I made a weak attempt at trying to credit it myself at the bottom of the page, but it shouldn't have to ME who has to track down my code and credit it from someone who wrongfully stole it. This truly shows your worthless self in prime form. STEALING CODE. Gtfo.

Exactly.
Its ok for her to say bad stuff about peoples work but when they mention bad stuff about her work she gets all defensive.

Thanks! Yeah by working with this I've learned a lot more about PSP programming. I think the only reason I use it vs. the xmb player is pure personal bias lol.

Great; I was also having the playlist crash problem!

Nice application though, I'm going to keep it on my PSP even though I don't listen to music that much on my handheld. I use my MP3/Nokia for that purpose.


That reminds me though.. Every other application for PSP I've seen can play music. I wonder when we'll see a firmware installer that plays music while updating
