Support Metrolist development and get early access to Metrolist KMP

Support Metrolist development and get early access to Metrolist KMP

We are opening early tester access to Metrolist KMP, our rewrite of Metrolist for:

  • Android
  • Windows
  • Linux
  • MacOS (not yet available)

KMP is currently projected to release publicly within the next month or two.

Donations are completely optional. The final project will be fully free and open-source, licensed under GPLv3. Nobody will need to donate to use it once it releases. There will be no ads or forced tracking in the app.

Anyone who chooses to donate to one of the Metrolist developers can get access to the current and future testing builds before the public release.

How to get early access perks

  1. Donate to any of the developers below.
  2. Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/ANYJpEXp7v
  3. Send us proof of the donation on the general channel.
  4. We will give you the tester role and access to private KMP builds and feature previews.

Support the developers

You can support whichever developer you want. Access is the same regardless of who you donate to.

This does not take anything away from normal users. Donations only provide optional early access while helping support development. The complete Kotlin Multiplatform monorepo will be released publicly under GPLv3 when it is ready.

Can you guys add more controls and customisation options to the widgets?

The 2nd pic shows the music player widget from Sony Xperia's Timescape UI which has been my favourite to this day. I'd love if you guys could implement the look or even just use it as inspiration while sticking to Material 3 expressive's looks.

Is the sound quality good or bad?

I have Bose quietcomfort ultra so I guess that should boost the listening experience but sometimes I hear the music i feel like it doesn't sound that good. What do you do to make it sound better (or what are your preferences)

Word By Word Lyrics!

P.S. Reposting because I forgot to properly tag the user who originally suggested the idea in my previous post (u/Smeke23).

Note to Mods: Hey! Please feel free to review this post. This is not self-promotion, view-farming, or a commercial project. There are no ads, no paywalls, no logins, and no tracking. I’m just sharing a free web utility I built to solve a personal frustration with missing word-by-word synced lyrics for my favorite songs. if it still is against the subreddit rules then feel free to ask the post down.

I saw a similar post by a fellow Metrolist user (u/Smeke23) a few days back Post but it was lacking a lot of features I personally wanted, so I decided to build one myself.

if the video is looking way to small watch the Demo video on Youtube where I fixed the aspect ratio.

Hey everyone,

Like many of you here, I love having Word-by-Word (WbW) synchronized lyrics while listening to music. However, a lot of my favorite or lesser-known tracks only have line-by-line lyrics or none at all.

To solve this, I built a web tool called Lsync to make creating, syncing, and retiming lyrics as quick and painless as possible.

What it is & How it works

It's a free browser-based editor: https://code4nigel.github.io/Lsync/

  1. No login / No account required, Just open it and use it.
  2. import & Search: Import lyrics directly via LRCLIB or paste manually
  3. similarly import audio file manually or preferred version use YouTube links, no need to offline download the songs (it automatically grabs the title & artist)
  4. Sync & Retimer: Easily stamp word/line timings, or use the Retimer tool to shift existing out-of-sync `.lrc` files forward/backward by milliseconds without starting over.
  5. Export Options: Supports standard Line-by-Line (`.lrc`), Word-by-Word (`eLRC`), `.json`, `.txt`, and `.doc`.

Tutorial on Youtube

A Request / Proposal for the Metrolist Team

While Lsync allows downloading `.lrc` files or copying WbW code, it would be amazing if Metrolist could support these workflows natively:

  1. Community Submission Integration: Provide an option within Metrolist where users can submit or upload custom Word-by-Word synced lyrics (e.g. to LRCLIB or a community database) so once a user syncs a song, everyone using Metrolist gets to enjoy it.
  2. Local LRC File Loading/Caching: Or, add a way for Metrolist to locally save/assign custom `.lrc` files to a track in the app so users don't have to manually load custom lyrics every time.

Feel free to try it out if you have songs with missing synced lyrics!
I hope this help a fraction of those fellow metrolists who love WbW lyrics just like me.

Album's length and songs are doubled

For some reason, every album from the band "Swans" has it's tracks doubled, only on Metrolist (this album should have 26 songs). Tracks 1 through 26 are unplayable, and can't be liked. Only tracks 27 through 52 can be interacted with. I already tried to refetch most of the band's albums but nothing happens

This is not a experience-ruining bug or anything, as I can still listen to their albums, but I still wanted to share it

Error: Sign in to confirm you're not a bot

Hello,

Version: 13.6.1

I'm on the latest version of MetroList, and every song fails to play. Even after fresh install.

Error:

Playback failed Sign in to confirm you're not a bot Code: IO_UNSPECIFIED (2000)

I've already updated to the latest version, but the issue persists.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Any fix?

(Thanks for all you work 🫶🏻)

Edit: I would like to use metrolist without account. And I have tried on another device same result

Is there a way to bypass the age limit?

I wanted to download the album cumsongs by ada rook but 2 songs do not download. I suspect it's because they are 18+ on youtube and I did not gave my ID. Is there a way to bypass age limitation?

why don't metrolist make it so that we can save downloaded songs in accessible download file and not inside the app's data file ?

I'd like a feature that lets you block artists

If you don't like a singer's music, you have the option to block them, so Metrolist would never recommend music by that blocked artist—that would be great

why does the icon (old/new) look different on different devices

on some devices it's pure black and on others it's gray with a gradient

Is Metrolist part of the many APKs thats about to not be available to use?

I'm kinda worried that I might lose the only music app that I have and if there's anything I could do to keep using the app.

Are the devs for Metrolist a part of the movement(keepandroidopen.org) going on with the other APK devs?

u/lhaelrena22 — 11 days ago

I don't know where to put this,

I just want to say thank you to the people who contributed on improving the app, and I support y'all so much! I'm gonna buy y'all some coffee in the future when I finally get a job, lol.
