In v3.30, as it was planned<\/a>, we have focused on app usability in Car PC. We haven’t forgotten about Android Audio, nor custom Car PCs based on Android OS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Android Auto<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In playback control pane, we have added two new buttons: “previous group” \/ “next group”:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

If current playlist has no groups, the buttons will switch playback to previous \/ next playlist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enhanced menu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In app menu, right above the playlist list, we have added two new commands: “resume” and “folders”:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The “resume” command allows you to resume playback from position where you’ve stopped. This command will be useful if you have switched off the “restore player state on start up” option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “folders” command provides an access to device’s file system*, and allows to you to create new playlist from specified folder without leaving the Android Auto app:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

* Only folders that you’ve grant access for the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Audio files from the selected folder will be added to the “Default” playlist, and the playlist will start playback immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Custom Car PC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Behavior changes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For better experience on Car PCs, we recommends to switch app interface layout to Car PC mode (refer to app settings \\ interface \\ layout). In this case, the app will adapt UI and behavior<\/span> of several functions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. All settings will be saved to the disk each 20 seconds (not on app termination).
    When the car’s ignition is turned off, power is lost, and neither the OS nor the player has no ability to save something.<\/li>
  2. Playing track kept always in visible area of playlist.<\/li>
  3. Player will pause the playback if car pc’s screen is switched off.
    Analysing your logs, we found that some devices switches off the screen (instead of power), when user click the hardware power button.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    New UI<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Based on your feedback, we have completely re-design UI for Car PCs. We’ve used two-slots 7″ Car PC as base device for new UI (these models are most popular car pc devices on Android OS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The app’s UI has again been splitted into two screens: main screen and playlist:<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"car<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Thanks to this, it became possible to place several new buttons on the main screen for frequently used commands that were previously hidden in the menu:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
