The iOS app player is completely unusable for me. I want to be able to listen to all of my synced music on shuffle. I am observing the following issues:



1. I have to click on a song multiple times before it loads



2. Once a song loads, the song that is actually playing is different from the song that was selected AND different from the song that is showing to be playing.



3. The queue only shows 3 songs max.



I am attaching a video highlighting these issues. I have reset the player queue on the debug setting multiple times as well.

The reason you are only seeing 3 tracks in the queue is because when playing from All Tracks, MIXO only adds the current track and 1 track either side of it to the queue. This prevent overloading your phone when trying to add all your 9k+ tracks to the queue. If you continue skipping through the list MIXO keeps adding 1 track each time. If you tap a track in the list it will rebuild the queue adding only 3 again from that point.



The delay in playing tracks is related to streaming from cloud storage which is not optimised like Spotify, for example. So often what happens is a track starts buffering before it plays and MIXO prevents skipping until the first chunk of audio is downloaded. I’m actually looking at this part today after another user suggested allowing skipping during buffering of the current track.



However, this could cause rate limit issues with cloud storage providers so it needs to be tested carefully.



For best results, download playlists for instant playback. MIXO also adds the entire playlist to the queue which will make things easier for you.

Thanks for the response Remko.

I've been attempting to use selective sync so that I only have to deal with the playlists that I want to be able to have offline but I'm not find luck with the sync. Do you have any tips on ho to best leverage this feature?

Though the playlist is syncing correctly, none of the files are showing up as uploaded even though they are uploaded to my cloud service.

Simple fix; read through the info for statuses and manually uploading. That will solve all the issues.

By the way, I’ve also been working on a number of improvements ready for the next release. These include;



[Improved] Skipping tracks is now possible when the current track is still loading (desktop & mobile)



[Improved] When the queue finishes playing, the player returns to the first track in a paused state (desktop & mobile)



[Improved] The currently playing track is now only highlighted in the track list if that's where it was played from (desktop & mobile)



[Improved] The track list now scrolls to keep the currently playing track in view when skipping forward/back and when returning to the list (desktop & mobile)



[Fixed] Playing from Recently Added or Watch Folder now plays correct tracks in correct sorted order (desktop & mobile)



[Fixed] Fixed some issues with the queue not refreshing when switching between lists, or skipping tracks in All Tracks etc (desktop & mobile)



These will really improve the mobile experience. I’ll let you love when it’s live!
