modizer : iphone/ipad mod player

category: music [glöplog]
It seems all v2m players rely on libv2 which only exists on Windows based env...
No sourcecode for it so no iPhone port :-(

hooo :'(

kb? source code for iPhone player? :D

btw, I wanted an alternate order list when you want to select musics in the "local files" folders, actually the only one choice is "author->format", hard when you want to choose a tune and don't remember the author and format names :D

did you tried to use the view switch (first line when you are in "local files") ?
basically it switches between a view by directories or all files (starting from current dir & including all subdirs) ?
added on the 2011-02-01 17:29:46 by yoyofr yoyofr
yeah, ALL files for ALL directories is a bit messy, especially with music name featuring track number, I got tons of track named "01 - xxx", "02 - xxx" :D

hmmm, "local files" is basically a files browser, so viewing by directory or view all are the 2 standard views.
I did not want to index all local files in a database since files can be downloaded from modizer or put manually using itunes or any dedicated tools on a JB device...
Do you have something in mind ? For me it's the same issue you can have on your computer when storing large numbers of music files. Usually, for mp3 & similar formats, you use a "library" tool which rely on the file's tags and build a DB with them, allowing you to browse by any of the tag.
The drawbacks are that all files need tag and the DB has to be kept up-to-date. Like the "ipod" which needs itunes for each update...
For modizer since there are a lot of different format with different level of information it's harder...

perhaps I could do some kind of high level filters like the one I use for the worldcharts => computers/console & then by "systems" (amiga, pc, nes, snes, c64, ...)

yoyofr, I see you use libmodplug. Guys behind Schism Tracker fixed A LOT of bugs there especially in IT playback). Contact them, it can be useful!

And thanks for such a good app! I just bought it ;)

hi, thanks for the info, I started to look at sourcecode but it seems they changed also the structure so I'm not sure it will be easy to integrate their changes without moving from libmodplug to schism tracker for playback...
It could be a good idea, so I'll check if I can make schism as a playback lib only!

also, for the one interested, v1.2 is in final testing stage.
I've added timidity for midi playback, asap for atari & playgsf for gba.
Lots of bugfixes, some new features (better menu, new visualiser for midi & mods, ...).
If everything is ok with testing I'll send the update to apple before the end of the week, so it should be available in 1 or 2 weeks depending on appstore validation process...

YEAH! GBA player!

Now I have to find all musics from Shinen' games (Pink/Abyss!!!).

btw, I don't remember well but Modizer can replay psf/psf2 music? (PlayStation format).

modizer suddently started playing all amiga mods at a wrong speed (on my iphone 4) - i switched to the UADE player and now it plays them correct again.. i don't recall changing any settings though prior to the problem appearing; anyone's got any ideas what's going on? :D

@rez:
psf/psf2 are supported, but require lots of cpu! for psf 3GS is a minimum, for psf2, even an ipad(1, never tested a 2) is sometimes too slow.

@bstr:
that's weird! perhaps you had a crash and the settings were reseted to standard values... Could you give me some filename of mods with wrong speed? I've fixed some issues in libmodplug but only tested on 1 file I knew were wrong (revery of truth).

schism tracker seems difficult to port as a library but xmp could be a good candidate. In fact schism tracker author seems to advise to use it when requiring a portable lib.

Are there some people here to confirm ? if xmp is better than libmodplug I might use it for next release (v1.3)
added on the 2011-06-06 16:37:55 by yoyofr yoyofr
yoyo, it plays them all wrong - files that i had already downloaded and new files i download. i guess i should just re-install it then.

yoyofr, is it possible to contact you (chat) somewhere?
added on the 2011-06-07 14:25:27 by jaw jaw
I'm not easily reachable by chat, but I read & answer emails usually fast.
just contact me on ymagnien at gmail dot com

I have just sent v1.2 to apple, I hope it won't take too long to validate.
added on the 2011-06-14 14:01:49 by yoyofr yoyofr
YEAH \o/

Yoyofr, I doubt XMP is better. In fact, the most correct lib to the day is BASS by Ian Luck. The second is Schism.

BASSMIDI is better. And now has a iPhone/iPad port.

hmm, bass seems interesting, but I think I need to do some comparison (performance, audio quality, ...) since bass will require licensing.

Any name of mod (it, xm, s3m, mod, ...) that are known to cause issues to "usual" players ?
added on the 2011-06-16 07:45:42 by yoyofr yoyofr
BASS would only require licensing depending on how much you intend to make with your app. Ian seems quite the gentleman to allow for flexible negogiations on such licensing....

I had a quick look at BASS api and the forum : it seems it will be very difficult to have patterns displayed as they are currently in modizer...
Moreover xmp supports a lot more formats and schism tracker author seems to consider it as a very good player.
Xmp is opensourced so I guess it will be easier to get pattern data as I have done with modplug.

Tried looking at: http://kode54.foobar2000.org/foo_dumb-dumb-lib_source.rar ?

Custom DUMB 0.9.3 fork with tons of accuracy fixes.

thanks, it look very interesting!
