SAP works out of the box, no need for fixing :)
I get occasional hiccups in playback when multitasking, or when the screen is shut down. Most often with SID tunes. Not enough CPU? :(

Hehe, no way, sorry :)
Oh well. Another item on the list of things I need to get around to at some point...
New beta6c - should handle the other media buttons (untried). Also hopefully slightly faster zip-scanning, recognizes SAP-extensions and a few other small fixes.
... I get hickups only when I side-scroll in the browser. I may try increasing the buffer size, but I didn't notice any difference after doubling it earlier...

other media buttons don't work, eg the old behaviour is still there. My guess is they get broadcasted as both, or something like that.

Ok, I updated the apk on the server with one extra logline. If you redownload you and look for
PlayerService * MEDIA BUTTON KEY
It should show which key events I read from the media button broadcast...
Ah, nevermind, it works in 6c. It's just that you didn't update your html href to the new version, i got 6b and never noticed.
If you're still interested, the output is as follows:
All keypresses (for both keydown and keyup) fire something like this
MEDIA BUTTON android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON
MEDIA BUTTON KEY KeyEvent[action=0 code=85 repeat=0 meta=0 scancode=164 mFlags=8}
I'm guessing action=1 is keydown and 1 is keyup,
code/scancode for buttons:
Play/Paus = 85/164
Next = 87/163
Previous = 88/165

oops, fixed.
Cool stuff. Works nicely on my 2.1-based phone.
Any chance of it ever supporting VGM, KSS and/or FC ?

Seems to work pretty well on my Milestone. Drains the battery quite quickly though. My phone was fully charged when I unplugged it an hour ago and now it's 50% after about 40 minutes of listening to sids. According to battery usage statistics, Droidsound did 40% of that (and display 30%).
One feature request: Pause the music when headphones are unplugged :)

Actually VGM and KSS should already be supported by libgme, although I have never tried it. If by FC you mean Amiga Future Composer then you have to wait until I add UADE support... shouldn't be that far into the future.

The files weren't detected though.

Yeah, I mean Future Composer mods. I'll reinstall when there's an update then.

I just tried a few of both formats and they worked fine (Space Harrier, Sonic, Golden Axe ...)

That does not sound too strange - sidplay2 does take a lot of CPU, maybe 10x more than an Amiga mod.

Added, will be in beta6d.

Huh. Maybe I needed to restart the phone or something. All I did was mount the SD card on my computer, add some VGMs (VGZ actually) to the same subdirectory under MODS where I have the rest of my tracks, unmount the SD card and start droidsound (which had previously been running).
I'll try again tomorrow. Gör om gör rätt..
I do love this app so much. Any chance of SC68 & SNDH support please?

Droidsound only scans when it starts, not when its temporarily switched out - I may have to look into a smarter way of of doing it..
Anyway, eiter press Back to get to the Home screen and click Droidsound again, or select "Rescan" in settings.

Sure, as long as there are C/C++ source code available.

The guy that wrote the sc68 player for the iPhone has the source for that app on his site:

It seems like files won't be detected if the filename contains spaces (which it's likely to do if you've downloaded a soundtrack from Project2612, where the typical naming convention is "Game - nn - Track Name.vgz").
I still can't get KSS files to play though. All I get is a brief period of silence, and then it skips to the next track. It doesn't matter what the Silence Detection option is set to.
Have you had a look at the hively replayer?

Not adding any new features until I get a v1.0 release out on Market - which hopefully will happen this weekend...
I noticed that the database updater crashes when it encounters certain VGM files (a fairly large percentage of the ones I tried in fact). Buggy GD3 scanner maybe?
If you want to reproduce the crash you can use songs from e.g. Red Zone (available at project2612.org) or Tintin In Tibet (available at smspower.org). I decompressed the songs before putting them on the SD card since VGZ doesn't seem to be supported.

I just tried Tintin in Tibet - GME can not handle them for some reason, but it doesnt crash the scanner for me, they just aren't added...
