vgmstream for Android OS by Lioncash at 9:01 PM EST on February 17, 2012
Hey all. Finally had time to post this (if you frequent the IRC, then this is old news to you).

I managed to get vgmstream working with a player on Android 4.0 and above. I don't have a lot of formats on me to test all of them, but for the most part from my experience, most of the formats -should- play back fine. The player is simply a fork of Droidsound.

The only formats I've heavily tested with are AAX, ADX, RSF and YMF. All of which I can confirm play back 100% fine.

If you want to use it or do whatever, everything is all open source and hosted here: Github Page

There is also a binary build in the downloads section for those that don't want to build it themselves.

If you do happen to use it and find some files not playing back, etc. Make an issue report on the Github page, or simply post in this thread and I'll see what I can do.

Ooooohh! I've been wondering if this was feasible! I hope I can see an app featuring this on the 'Droid Market soon? :D

It won't be on the droid market. APK's can be downloaded on the download page of the Github repo.

I honestly don't want to pay a yearly fee to distribute one app.

File was not found.

What's the matter?
by Lioncash at 5:23 PM EST on February 24, 2012
Fixed the binary download. That was odd, that's never happened before.

Bug report:
Can't open the NSF files with FDS expansion.

I'm still waiting for someone to port vgmstream to a Sunbeam Toaster Oven...

*one can only dream* :/



@Lioncash - Excellent job! Very neat!

Bug Report 2
[vgmstream plugin]Music stops before loop starts.
No SD card by fredg999 at 10:21 PM EDT on July 4, 2013
I recently got a Nexus 4 and installed this port of Droidsound using the latest binary package (May 22nd, 2012). However, since I don't have an SD card, the application cannot detect the music I am transferring to the system storage. Obviously, this means I cannot listen to any music but the Examples included with the app. Is there any way the app could have an option to search on the device's storage instead, or in addition to the SD card? (And if you can publish the binary build including such changes, that would be great too!)

I'm sure this app is worth being used, but I'm afraid I cannot use it much so far…

Just curious, has there been any work of vgmstream for iOS?
by marcusss at 5:22 AM EDT on July 29, 2013
What's iOS ? :-)
by AceK at 12:25 AM EDT on August 6, 2013

DroidSound-E sounds like a good upgrade to Kode54's original.
The official page.

Also, this enhanced version doesn't have sorting by artist/albuml/genre (I wish it could respect semicolon (;) separators) yet. And, UI customization would be even nicer addition in the future.

Yeah... too bad the author is a serial GPL abuser. There used to be a GitHub repository, but it didn't receive any updates and only housed links to the built APKs presumably as a facade to appear open source. They deleted their repository not so long ago after being constantly called out for it.
