I'm in the processing of migrating from Spotify and their app is pretty versatile and smooth. If I can find anything that handles music playing / sorting / displaying / etc as good as Spotify does, I'd be very happy :)

Thanks!

can anyone help??

using a windows laptop I'm trying to sync 1 onedrive folder - still queued for processing - but unless I can browse by composer the app is no use to me.

I couldn't find an answer to this question without trying it out. If it does, I'll download the ios app.

I did allow this playlist to complete while running overnight, and I do see it in the web application and the Android app. The Android app is facing issues with this playlist. I constantly see messages stating Astiga is not responding. However, the app is not stuck. It actually does play music successfully, but the not responding messages keep showing over and over. I can either ignore them or click wait. When I click wait they simply show up again even though the app is not frozen.

Here's a couple of screenshots:

That single file exist just one time, but it gets repeated. Tomorrow it may show at least four more times.

This is the Android Astiga isn't responding message that shows over and over. The app is not frozen and plays music successfully. There was a long pause with the playlist load.

One more Q... (Sorry to be a pain... but moving from a one-off payment with Cloud Player to an annual subscription with Astiga merits a bit of road testing)... In the app in the artist listing no art is shown, just a pair of semiquavers. Is that intentional? If I select an artist all the individual album art appears, exactly as expected.

Finally, finally, one last thing for me to try out before I subscribe ... uploading a new artist/album.

I am really impressed a) with the App and b) with the support provided to all my daft questions!!

😃

Hoever, there is NO cover art (so far) on any of the albums. In the original... some is embedded, some is there as a jpg (mostly jpg, to be honest). Will it upload overnight? Does it upload at all on the demo version?

What is the purple pin symbol? How can I get rid of it? What does it do?

On the PC, there's a nice facility to filter by the first letter of the artist name... on the App, I can't see the equivalent. Is there any way (other than doomscrolling) to get wayyyy down the artist list to someone later on in the alphabet?

What is the special character / character number limit on the passowrd? I created the account with a short PW and, if I buy the full product, will want to change it to something uncrackable!

This thread is read-only because I don't want to distract from the information about what each build contains. If you want to raise an issue or discuss any of the builds, or features in the builds, please open a new thread.

Any ideas how to fix this would be welcome!

We use the alpha track for testing releases that have cleared our own internal testing. This means they are broadly stable, but haven't been tested with the full range of different Android hardware, firmware, bundled software and OS variants.

We use the beta track for testing releases which have had exposure to more devices and are essentially expected to be production ready. The beta track gives us more statistically significant numbers by which we can judge the stability and reliability of a given release.

We have a tighter group of alpha testers, as opposed to the beta testing track which is "open" testing. If you'd like to be an alpha tester, drop a reply here. If your email address in Astiga is different to Google Play, you'll have to supply your Google play email address (you can do that by emailing us at info@asti.ga ). If you'd like to be a beta tester, you should be able to sign up via Google Play.

But I can't login in the Astiga app on my Android Smartphone. I add my mail address and password in the login fields. But when I press "sign in" I get the message: This password or email adress is incorrect; make sure you use the token if two-factor authentification in enabled.

The problem here: There isn't a field for the t2a token, only the mail, password and then login button and create-an-account-link.

some technical information on my android system:

I use a Sony Xperia 10 V, modell XQ-DC54 with Android 14, build-number 68.1.A.2.170 and I have the security app from Malwarebytes active. (And also the Malwarebytes vpn app installed, but not active when trying to login.)

So, has someone a suggest or solution for the login problem?

This also occurs if you pause Astiga playback while casting, let it time out so the Chromecast goes back to the standby screen, and then open the Astiga app. I've interrupted a few shows this way by opening the app.

I reinstalled the Astiga Android app today and I'm receiving the error message in the subject when I try to launch the app. The app doesn't ask for this permission, despite it noting that it will on the store. It doesn't appear in the permissions list for files and media. I reinstalled the app, restarted the phone, cleared cache and data.

• Target API 33 (this is so we can still get searched-for and discovered - it should have no practical impact)
• Support searches for "play music" - i.e. if someone uses Google Assistant or Android Auto voice commands to simply "play music" we now start in shuffled mode.

This happens to both cached songs and newly downloaded ones, and survives device restarts.

Doesn't happen in the web app on the same device.

We've done this by minimising the size of the app bundle - before we had to use something called "multidex" to make sure all the code and resources in the app were accessible, but this was causing problems. By making the app smaller we now don't need to use this, and it appears to work better for those affected by the crashes.

We've released a new beta of the Android app into beta testing, for all those who have signed up to be a beta tester.

The only change is an update in the target API level - to remain discoverable in Google Play we need to declare Android 12 as our target version (although the app will continue to work on older versions).

This also mandated a bunch of updated declarations, being more explicit about how features of the app are exposed to Android. We also had to replace the core/common support libraries we use.

Although there are no functional changes we'd really appreciate people trying this, because there're a lot of changes to the underlying code. Thanks!

Would I be able to create a filter that does the following? Select all music of the genre Electronic that has not been played in the last 30 days. I wish to create a playlist that contains this criteria in a random order.

Thanks in advance.

Was working yesterday.

This is especially an issue as it means that none of my songs I play from the app scrobble to last.fm, which is something of a deal-breaker for me. Is there just some settting that I can't seem to find that I need to reactivate on the mobile app? Is there some other solution? I've already tried about everything I can think of. (Re-installing the app again, removing and re-adding my storage, re-syncing my storage, etc.) Thanks.

I assume the PC app is just a wrapped displaying the web app, so I don't think there's any way to update it - However the web app still works fine in-browser.

Also it just generally seems to hard lock when navigating between different areas (e.g. library management and your library) - Have to close and re-open the app.

While F-Droid doesn't allow non-FOSS software in the main repository, anyone can host a repository with apps that can be added to the app in order to F-Droid which allows for managing and updating apps without the need for the Play Store. Bitwarden, Collabora, Fedilabs, Chimbori, Bromite and Molly are some examples of apps distributed like this aside of Play Store releases.

I know Google had to jump through some hoops following the Sonos judgment, and I'm wondering if the cast API has changed and slightly broken astiga?

Thank you to anyone that tests this! Please leave any feedback in this thread.

Which.Formats can I play in astiga??

Thnx in Advance
