[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] Androideka13:
I've already gone through Poweramp and gotten things mostly the way I like them. There's a few things I still can't figure out, but I'm getting the hang of it. I'm definitely going to keep my phone and will probably fork over the money for the full version of Poweramp. I plan to keep messing with it and try to forget SM...for now.

On the side I may try to convert the AACs to Mp3 via iTunes and see for myself how bad they sound in comparison and try to get SM eventually. I'm definitely taking a break from all things phone music for a few days to get my head back on straight. :)

Thank you again x 1000 for all of your replies and support, you've saved me from going COMPLETELY insane over this.

Thanks again,

Brian
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] blackhawk:
You're welcome.

Take your time and think it through first.

I would not convert those files, use as is.

Read this and do some more searches ie aac vs mp3 etc.

Never go to a lower resolution format and avoiding converting altogether is the best plan.

If you rip a CD to hard drive always save as a wav and -nothing- else. Many CDs are in fact HDCDs and possess up to 22 bit resolution. It is contained as subtext on the wav file. Converting a HDCD wav file will destroy the HDCD encryption and render it as a 16 bit image or lower. It must be saved as a wav file to preserve the HDCD encryption! 22 bits vs 16 is a lot.

A 24 bit or higher DAC can glean up to 90% or so of the encoded subtext. No HDCD converter is needed however if available, use it as it will glean 100% of the HDCD encryption.

The data stream must remain in the digital realm until input into the 24 bit or higher DAC or HDCD converter! Either electrical or optical toslink (highly preferred for ground loop blocking isolation) can be used between devices like the PC and stereo preamp to stay in the digital realm vs a analog signal.

Tony Harding of Denon Electronics was kind enough to patiently teach me about HDCD technology back in 2004.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] Androideka13:
Thanks for the info! I'm getting used to Poweramp but there's a few things I'm still not on board with. One is the volume leveler we briefly touched on. The other is that when I'm scrolling through tracks or albums, info go the slightest bit off center in my swipe, I get taken back to another part of the app. Similar thing happens when I hit the Back button on my phone and it exits the app instead of going back to the main screen or to the album I'm playing.

I'm also trying to find a way to remove songs from playlists like "recently added" or "recently played" but it only gives me a prompt to delete the song completely. That's annoying.

I'm not 100% on board with Poweramp but it works bettwr than I originally thought (thanks to you) and it works for now, or until I find a better solution.

Also, when it comes to converting the AACs (back) to mp3s, I had someone else tell me that as long as I started out with a good, high quality file, that then conversion shouldn't hurt sound quality too much, if not much at all. Most of my Mp3s that I converted to AACs were 320mbps and they converted to 128mbps AACs. Idk, just something I was told and want to see for myself.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] blackhawk:
You need to get used to it's navigation, lol it still tags me sometimes even now. Lol, I need to explore Poweramp more as there may be better ways to interface with it.

When you remove a song from a playlist it should remain in the library. I tested it and it doesn't remove it on my copy.

You can also move songs up/down on the playlist.

If the format is playable there's nothing to gain by converting it except potential data loss. When initially downloading or buying though always choose the highest resolution native format.

Otherwise you'll end downloading or buying the same song many times to get better sound quality. Once you hear the difference you can't go back to the ignorant bliss you once enjoyed🤣

Open room listening with two stereo speakers (or more channels/speakers) is quit different from listening to headphones or buds. In the former the audio waves interact with each other to reproduce the sound stage present where it was recorded. You are electro-acoustically coupled, like voodoo magic.

The better the recording, playback equipment and listening area acoustics the more realistic the sound stage reproduction.

If a 50khz audio wave collides with a 40khz wave, a 10khz wave is created. While you can't hear the primary waves of the first two, you can hear their byproduct. This is why you never want to limit inaudible frequencies; they create the sound stage. Thousands of these interactions per second across the audio wave bandwidth produces the sound stage as if you where there.

You'll hear sounds coming from midair all about you... not just the sound sources.

Because of this you want high resolution recordings that faithfully record from 10hz to at least 50khz or higher. Then it will truly suck to only have a flat sounding MP3... they sound like crap compared to a sparkling HDCD.

Yes, well... welcome to the fking planet😳
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] Androideka13:
I made a mistake, the stock playlists like "recently played," etc. are the ones that prompt me to delete the entire song. Playlists I create allow me to just remove the track from the playlist.

I wasn't questioning your knowledge regarding the AAC conversion, just throwing out a different bit of knowledge I heard. I'm not very knowledgeable with audio and the technical side, but I know what my ears like so it's good to know even a little bit of the tech of it all. I usually listen to my phone music either with buds or in my car so I'm not that much into the surround aspect of it all, but it's good to know. I think I'm going to still keep trucking with PA for now.

I have given myself the day off today but tomorrow I'm going to try to sync a newly downloaded WMA file to my new S22+ the old way (iTunes -> AAC -> WMP -> Android) and see what happens. The other day, in my stressed-out haste, I plugged the S22+ into my PC and tried to move over a Mp3 with that method and the sync button in WMP didnt even turn green (allowing me to sync). I'm not sure if it's because it's a different phone than my S8 or what, but I'm really hoping it doesn't happen, because even with PA, I want to be able to add new songs and I just want uniformity and ease, but don't we all? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] blackhawk:
The car if it stereo speakers isn't ideal but nonetheless creates a "pressure pot" sound stage. If you played a HDCD you see the difference in sound stage...

and curse me for the hearing tune-up🤣

To transfer files on a windows PC open Disc Management to access the phone, then copy/paste the folders or files directly to the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] Androideka13:
I'm sure if and when that happens, I will curse you, but gently. ;)

I was hoping to keep things uniform and still go with WMAs. I'll try later this evening to do my old sync on the new phone and see how that goes. It's just easier for me and if I do re-do my music later and make everything Mp3s, I'll use drag and drop then.

Quick at for PA - I noticed I am using the trial version but I've already made a lot if playlists (since they didnt copy over onto PA from SM). If I want to buy PA, will I lose all my settings, playlists, etc? 😯
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] blackhawk:
I don't think Poweramp can import a foreign text playlist then ID the songs in the database. It only imports it's own playlists. Just shell out the change for the paid version, take the ride and decide.

This is why I'm trying to tell you to do it right the first time. It's will save you time and trouble in the long run. This applies exponentially so with the music database, go nuts and do it right.

Mp3 is one of the least desirable source formats, listen to some harpsichord music recorded with it. Lots of distortion, artifacts, poor frequency range. Sounds horrible.

My collection is all wav files, the mp3 stuff be pirate bounty, har. If possible source in a 24 bit format. A lot of my R&R never was released as 24 bit at least 20 years ago. Today I would try to aim for higher res files.

Me vinyl>cassette tape>CD>HDCD>?

How many times do you want to buy the same song? Anticipate your need for high resolution audio files will increase with time and conversely your disgust with low res files🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] Androideka13:
Not sure you got me on the last post. I made a lot of playlists in PA but the trial version. I want to buy it but want to port over the playlists from the trial to the purchased version of the app. Hopefully it's possible.

Also, do you remember the way to save settings in PA?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] blackhawk:
When you buy it he will send the unlocker. It's been a while but I think it preserves the changes already made. The import/export option may not be available on the trial version.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] Androideka13:
Soooo I finally got to f around on my PC and I was able to transfer wma files to the S22+. It takes an extra step, but whatever. :) THEN, I saw exactly how much space I was using for my music and the results were a little shocking. I attached 2 pics - one is the PC screenshot of how much space AACs take vs WMAs and it's only a difference of 13gb. So I COULD put my AACs on my S22+ and be able to still add enough songs to double my library.

The second pic with Aaliyah was my attempt to see how much space converting the AACs to Mp3 would take and I was amazed again that they actually took up more space than the original AACs. So it looks like I'm gonna try and just drag and drop my AACs into my S22+ and see what happens.

I'm a little concerned about tags and album art since I think itunes doesn't update it fully but we'll see. Maybe I'll try using Musicbee to transfer them all. 🤷‍♂️

The Naxos Music Library (NML) app gives you access to over 144,400 CD-length recordings and 2,230,000 tracks.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] blackhawk:
Flipping formats is a good way to lose audio quality. I be a lot more worried about that than tags. It's best to download in a lossless format then keep it like that. Having different format versions of the same song tends to cause bad things to happens... one more thing to go wrong.

You want your database file structure as organized as possible, no gimmicks, all copies uniform.

If horrible, unpredictable things happen, a fire, near lightning strike, virus, whatever, you may end up with only one copy of your music database. It better be high resolution and complete.

The device needs to adapt, not the music file type! If I didn't have 1+tb capacity on my N10+'s I be so boned and pissed. Time to call up Samsung again and share the wuv🤣

[Introductions] roger_rex:
Hi folks

Have grown interested in either using or compiling my own ROM as my trusty old pixel 2XL is about to give up the ghost and I just don't feel the need to drop a huge amount on a new model.

I have used redmi before, a 6A - when I say I, I mean I bought them for my young kid who had a tendency to lose shoes so buying a fancy phone was out. He is now older and more responsible so has a much nicer phone than I do.

The interface (mui something) is a bit odd - I wanted to experiment and change the ROM to PE - but it looks like there are no prebuilt images for this model.

I have some experience in programming - a little rusty these days but I did manage to download the source code for the pixel 2XL and compile it on a Linux PC, a linux VM under hyper-v and the relatively new WSL2 to get a feel of the process and what requirements may be involved on my side.

So this is obviously different from windows PC's where install the OS and then you choose to install all the drivers required for your particular PC. Looks like you need some kind of build sheet and access to those devices source code. This is the part I'm kind of stuck at. I've been looking on youtube but all I seem to get are many versions of essentially the same video - build PE from source..... for an already supported device.... which I already can do. No movement forward ...

Also the the new device I was looking at as a replacement for my aging pixel is not supported yet (redmi note 11 - I am considering the 10 if all else fails)

sorry for posting what I can assume must be an obvious question but i'm on the struggle bus trying to find a good answer

I use the Bluetooth with phone calls. With Vito's Audio Notes I can record phone calls and hear both me and the caller in the recording - through the Bluetooth. I see Vito also has a "finger friendly" recorder but I'm not interested in that. However it seems clear the audio path from Bluetooth mic to recording can work.

Thanks for the pointer to that thread however the concern there is about Bluetooth quality not Bluetooth reliabiliy. Personally my Bluetooth quality is just fine - when the Bluetooth remains connected that is! I'm puzzled why you would have read my post and thought I wanted better Bluetooth quality?
