TruFlow v1.0: a Coverflow-like music browser for the PSP *UPDATE* |
Listed in: Homebrew Applications Tags: Da Merv, psp homebrews
Ó
If you're impressed with Apple's Coverflow User Interface (UI) for iTunes, then you can browse through your favorite tunes in the same way on the PlayStation Portable thanks to a new homebrew app from developer Da Merv.
Marking itself as the first version release of the program, TruFlow makes use of the same UI format as the iTunes music browser. To use TruFlow, all you have to do is add your preferred cover art for the song you have stored on your handheld. TruFlow will automatically index your music folder upon running it for the first time.
Anyway, here's a list of the application's controls for easier reference:
- Cross: plays the selected album, select menu item
- Square: stops playing the current song
- Circle: pauses/plays the current song
- Triangle: displays/closes menu
- L/R: play previous/next song
- Left/Right: browse albums one by one
- Analog nub: scrolls through albums
- Up/Down: change selection in menu
As always, please don't forget the read the documentation included in the file bundle for instructions on how to install TruFlow into you PSP.
UPDATE:
Da Merv was recently able to come up with an updated version to the homebrew music browser, bumping up the release to version 1.1. The new build includes a fix for problematic MP3s which tend to crash the program, as well as several other improvements to help error management.
Anyway, here are the details to all the changes made in version 1.1:
- Removed menu system, use R at startup to recache, use select for help, use home to exit
- Added config file to specify music folder
- Problemed mp3s are skipped instead of crashing the program
- Vastly improved error management

I have heard the demand for multiple files under one album, and I am considering it. Please look out for updates.

Now that would be cool!
Sorry, I'm just to lazy for this to be useful... I'd end up with 20 albums on my memory stick with no album art. Kinda defeats the purpose since the sony mp3 playback (built in) works just as well, otherwise.

It played some cracking high pitched noise when I tried to play the first track, then crashed the psp. So far I'm not impressed, but the graphics are pretty. It also didn't display any titles for anything until I actually tried to play a single song. Would be nice if it said what album I was viewing incase I dont have the album art. But if its going to crash, then, eh......
