SongerPro
Release Version 9.5.3
Professional Backing Track Player for Android
New features: Changing the track global default volume level. This release now gives the user the ability to change the track global default playback volume. Previous versions of SongerPro had the default value set at 90 which could not be changed, this was fine providing the track didn’t require its volume tweaking too much! Reducing the global volume level will give more headroom when setting individual track levels. NOTE: Turning down the track Global Volume will require a higher Master Volume setting in order to achieve a comparable output level to the original and vice versa. This new feature can be accessed from the Options page by pressing the Global Volume button. The value can be changed by moving the slide bar and then pressing the ‘Save Settings’ button. After changing the global value to your desired level you can then tweak the individual track levels as before by long clicking the track title box and adjusting the volume with the slider. Special thanks go to Iain McKellar for this suggestion.
Software Updates… This release also includes some further software coding updates as follows: 1. The implementation of the External Storage permission in later Android versions has changed - see HERE for more details. 2. Any settings made in the Options Pages will now be retained when installing this and future updates. 3. Tracks will now be unaffected when changing the screen orientation during playback, this also applies to both lyric displays and Mp4 playback. 4. The scrolling lyric display has been re-coded to more accurately reflect the timing of the associated audio file - this will not affect any previously set scrolling speeds and should give a more consistent accuracy when changing between different screens etc..
Hi-lite the played track instead of removing it from the setlist. There is now a check box available in the Options page to Hi-lite a track after playback. This can be selected as an alternative to the remove track option. This automatically cancels the remove options if they have previously been selected and this also applies to the ‘Remove after Fade’ setting. The Hi-lite feature is not available if using the ‘Auto Mode’ setting in the playscreen. The track will still be removed after playback as this is a requirement of the ‘Auto Mode’ setting. Special thanks go to Stuart Harrison for this suggestion.
CDG2MP4 Converter upgraded to convert batch files. I have received quite a few requests for this feature so here it is! It is now possible to convert multiple CDG & MP3 files with just one button press by selecting a folder containing the files. Check the instructions on the Video page.
Full screen view in MP4 playback The MP4 playback screen now has the option to expand the video area to full screen. In order to activate the full screen view you need to tap on the upper section of the video screen whilst the track is playing, tapping on the upper section again will revert the screen size back to default. This option is only available when in landscape view as there is little benefit to be had when using portrait view. The full screen is a slightly zoomed-in view in order to achieve a satifactory size, this means that the very upper part of the playback screen is partly restricted. This does not present a problem for the majority of converted cdg files (Karaoke) as the lyric display tends to be at the mid to lower section of the screen anyway.
