Love the app but cant get it to show album art. It shows in the album list but not while playing. Anyone know why? Otherwise would make my default player, as it is pretty awesome. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] s44:
Looks great so far. Any chance you could add an option to reload the library data from the music folders? Android media scanner currently botches tag-reading from aac and wma files, big time. (It's also funny to see a file play back as "unknown artist" if I pick it from the library and with the proper name if from the folder list.)

This plus genre and writer (composer) tag support would make for an ideal player.

It looks great. Any chance I could bribe you into adding a feature that I have yet to see in a media player for Andorid? What I am looking for is to play only unplayed items as I primarily use the phone for podcasts. It would also be handy that you could have an option to turn on or off global storage of position in a file. That way if say I paused 30 mins in and had to reboot the phone, the next time it could restart that file in the same location?

Thanks for any consideration!
[Android Apps and Games] tedman1990:
Hi!

The app sure looks great!

But does it also supports the Last.FM Application, like the app Mixzing does?
[Android Apps and Games] snowmobile:
Have you tried going into the PowerAMP Settings and checked that the location where your music is stored is ticked within Music Folders?

I'm successfully using it on a 2.2 Desire. The first time it scanned it found no files because the only option ticked was sdcard/MusicFolders. I then also ticked sdcard/MP3 and all my music files were successfully scanned.
[Android Apps and Games] snowmobile:
Some of my MP3 files had this problem. I think it was because the album art wasn't embedded into the files. I have used this app to embed the images and now they show up fine http://www.appbrain.com/app/mp3-cover-fetcher/com.DroidIsland.mp3tag
[Android Apps and Games] HelderJr:
MaxMP, I´m really impressed with the quality of this program... it´s amazing! May I ask you something?

Is there any possibility of adding support to Mono Bluetooth headsets? I have a mono BT earpiece and all I can do with it is to make calls. In Windows Mobile it was very simple to stream music, but I couldn´t find this in Android. So, is this possible to add support?

Thank you in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] waylman:
Looks very nice!

Needs browse by Genre though! Please!
[Android Apps and Games] shadowgolf:
Thanks for the reply. I can't check the settings because the app closes immediately after it starts scanning folders. I'm wondering if it's because of the amount of music I have, over 9Gb.
[Android Apps and Games] sxe:
simply amazing. subscribed and i will buy it if available.
[Android Apps and Games] wowser21:
Looking good. I have two requests . Can you add support for Genre? Also, would it be possible to have the album art display when you are going through "All Songs" and "Playlists"?

I also have the issue where i can't see any music when in folder mode. However when i click on library everything is there.

thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] jyazzie110:
Album artwork downloader wud be nice.

And why do all my wma files show up under unknown artist?
[Android Apps and Games] acyd:
Amazing app, thank you! My only issue so far is scrubbing/fast-forwarding through large MP3s (single file, 24kpbs, about 80MB size). It would always send me back to the beginning of the file. Oddly, with a 160kbs single mp3 over 100MB in size, it worked fine.

Keep up the awesome work!

Known Android bug (ridiculous that this is broken on the OS level, isn't it?). This is why I requested an option to repopulate the library data...

[Android Apps and Games] Trongable:
Cheers MaxMP! This is by far the best music app out there! Would happily donate when this hits final.

One suggestion though: Let us pick change the transparency on the widget pls! I just wish it would fit in a little bit better on my home screens :P
[Android Apps and Games] Rknily4e:
help

ok i have samsung vibrant and i downloaded the app i see it on my files but i don't know how to get it to work. I'm a newbie so please be genital and give my step by step . thanks
[Android Apps and Games] kkssgg:
I just tried the beta and already loved it! Best look, best view, naerly best features! EQ is awesome, at last proper eq with decent player.

Couple ideas, not necessary all to implement:

- (for me very important) Last.Fm support (with/without official Last.FM app?)

- Attaching to the android os itself so I can make it default music app (when pressing/opening/downloading music app it will start automatically completely replacing existing built-in music app)

- not sure if that's already done but reading covers from tags first, if fail from folder/cover.jpg/png

- reading lyrics from tags, a folder or auto downloading from searching internet

- reading artist bio from internet (can be done by utilizing last.fm app which does same)

- more visible album tree view (or folder tree view), some kind of +/- sign to expand tree branch etc

- not sure how's power usage of poweramp yet but maybe an option to fallback to use system engine to lower it (wouldn't play flacs and possibly some other files though)

- a dialog window/popup on first run to ask if user want to select music folders manually as well as auto scan (I keep my music also in dropbox/asdas/music which was not detected, took me few minutes to find and option to monitor this folder)

- more desktop widgets (1x1 for play/pause maybe next, bigger ones with cover included, skinned widgets for white/transparent colours)

I know it's a lot of request but would love at least if dev would read the list :)

I might consider buying app once it is finished and some of those features included (and would prefer to have payable app on the market itself instead of some kind of activation inside the free one).

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] shadowgolf:
Confirmed that it's the amount of music that's causing the problem. I deleted everything and added a few folders back and it works with no problem.

There must be people out there with bigger collections than me, any chance that the app could be modded please to handle larger amounts of music? It would be much appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] MaxMP:
2 rahlquist

It should work this way in the leaked beta. Of course, if player gets chance to save the position (happens on pause).

As for other requests, some of them are implemented in current builds, others are considered for next versions (current build is frozen for bug fixes only).
[Android Apps and Games] tijs14tijs:
Superapp! Great round volunebuttons.

Ah no coverflow ;(
[Android Apps and Games] umd:
Great app. One of the best music player for Android I think.

I have three suggestions btw.

- If you make cover fit to screen, it would look better imo.

- It looks so dark. You can make it a little lighter or add new theme like gray one.

- And it's icon could be better :D

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] valentine8381:
The best music player I've ever used in Android. AMAZING:D
[Android Apps and Games] wan.ting:
very good！
[Android Apps and Games] bjrmd:
Not sure if mentioned but the scan only works if the music is nested in subfolders. Does not show if in sd / music for example

Does not read wma art tags
[Android Apps and Games] bthoem:
I am actually surprised that you say gapless playback is planned for next version, when I am pretty sure it is already there

I have tested with a few of my Pink Floyd albums in OGG-format, and the playback is pretty gapless in the current beta as I see it:-)

Great player!

My wishlist:

Include an audiobook playback module as well, with gapless playback, play from where you left off, bookmarks and streaming of audio to mono BT earplugs.

I will be paying for this player,

[Android Apps and Games] x86-Dark:
wooow! amazing player!

nothing to say! :OOO
[Android Apps and Games] Tomdroid:
Thank you!

Plain awesome that it includes it's own codecs, makes it the first player to properly play back music encoded in HE-AACv2 (aka eAAC+)! That and the EQ working through BT are the absolute killer features imo. The tag editor is also nicely done. Can't wait to see this finished. :cool:

I'm having some trouble playing tracks from the library view, basically always tells me "Too many failed files, playback will stop now". If I start playback through the folder view, the same files will play just fine.

Also one of my albums shows 8 files in folder view but only 1 file in library view. Rescan didn't help.

Let me know if I can help you with logcats or such.

Oh, and here's another vote for genre support. I really need that. :)
[Android Apps and Games] jeffsanace:
I'm using all MP3's that are in DCIM/music with a separate album art folder in DCIM/albumthumbs. My problem is the album art doesn't show while playing. If I look at my album list in the app, they all show in the list, but still not when playing. Could the Dev or someone else help me with this, as I don't see any reason it shouldn't be working. They all show for Music Mod and default HTC player. Would love to use this app, but without the album art it's kind of useless.

The album art is from Album Art Grabber Paid(works great)

Ok, now I'm really frustrated!!! Have tried everything! Tried moving all files to the poweramp created music folders and still, nothing. It makes no sense that the art is showing just fine in album view but not while playing. I would think it should read the files the same as the other music apps.
[Android Apps and Games] O_G:
You can change the theme in the settings to aluminum, it is lighter. Whats wrong with the icon? I think it is fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Spartoi:
How do we add/view lyrics?
[Android Apps and Games] umd:
I've changed the theme but I think the black one could be better in that way. There is nothing wrong with the icon. Just didn't like it:)

MaxMP, any chance to implement rating, ability to set ratings into ID3 as simple as it is in iPod for iOS/DoubleTwist?
[Android Apps and Games] slekerz:
i just try it great man i love it, the best music apps so far.
[Android Apps and Games] Andrewtst:
Love it :)

Awaiting on final and beta widget :)
[Android Apps and Games] Maverick777:
This may be a beta, but the app is very well done already. It's hands down hte best looking music player on Android. Keep up the good work.

So far, the only feature that I miss is Genre support. Hopefully that is one of the bells and whistles that will be released in a future version.
[Android Apps and Games] trangoul:
Thank you it works.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I tried last.fm to Scrobble.. It uses quite a lot of CPU and 29m of ram. WTH?? No thanks. Removed.

ScrobbleDroid you barely notice is there.
[Android Apps and Games] hollibs:
I love the player,everything works fine, except the order of songs in the library view.songs in alphabetic order instead of the id 3 tags.each other player has the right order of my songs,this player has the right order only in the folder view...

if this is my mistake...let me know,if this is a bug,i hope it will be fixed with the next release.

greetings from germany;-)
[Android Apps and Games] fcbflo:
hey guys :)

Great App!

But is there a support for playlists? I think there is no way to play PL, which one is not built by PowerAMP :(. I want to play this ones: .m3u, .m3u8 or .pls

But no one is shown under "Playlists" in Library :(

What to do? Can you help me?

Greetings Flo
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
My guess is this functionality isn't really there yet, I too was trying to create a playlist and it appeared to play the current album, then the next etc in alphabetical order.

So it appears to me they've spent a lot of time on the core playing functionality and are now working on the library/playlist functionalities.

Works pretty good though!
[Android Apps and Games] archboy69:
This app looks amazing and runs really great on my N1. Just needs a bit more tweaking, like some of my album covers aren't loading, and lockscreen controls and this would kick butt of all music players.

Looking forward to seeing the updates and when are you putting it on the Market so that everyone can enjoy your amazing work?
[Android Apps and Games] udiz:
Great player

Hi all,

For me PowerAmp is the best player on Android, the only one with an EQ, the feature I'm waiting for a while.

I used it on a hero with original 2.1 ROM from htc with no issues. Differents things I saw when using it:

Cover art works well when covers are embedded in MP3 tags

on my phone the cover animation is slow when swithing to next/previous track/album. Fortunatly the song start to play instantly (thank's for that!). The ability to disable the animation will be good for older's phone.

scanning music folder find only the files placed in subfolders, nothing when they are on the root.

library navigation could be better if under the artist view we can see albums with covers

the ability to save personal EQ presets will be great

as already mentionned in previous posts a lock screen and 4x4 widget with cover art will be nice.

Again many thanks, I have now no reasons to swith to iphone or others because i found my player !!
[Android Apps and Games] wilnotdie:
I havent played with all the features but so far it runs great on my G2. No problems so far.

Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] jrmatics:
I just installed this app and it's great.i was using mixzing for a while but gonna play around with this one, thanx for the heads up on this one.i had no clue this app was out there
[Android Apps and Games] haha123:
Amazing app, but the widget is not working on my phone (Legend). It worked before, and then suddenly stopped working after a reboot. :confused:

Also some album arts aren't loading but overall it's awesome and has temporarily (because beta) replaced my stock player. Will test battery performance tomorrow.
[Android Apps and Games] swich2mac:
I agree, this is HUGE for me! Hopefully, the developer of this app will see this post and take note of it! Other than that, it is a KILLER music player! I went into artist, Alice In Chains, and I have 7 albums. All of the other music players will put the albums in a child-parent relationship under the artist itself. This music player bundles all 7 of my albums together and puts all of the songs in alphabetical order. Not good in my opinion! PLEASE TAKE NOTE AND FIX!! If this can be done, I would pay $9.99 for this app!
[Android Apps and Games] laics:
great app

This is a great app. But it seems all my music files are sorted by file name in an album. may i know how to sort file by track number in an album?
[Android Apps and Games] iceage1988:
there is a small bug exists

when I select a folder that I want it scan all the music in it,it only scan the music in the folders that in this floder and ignore all the music in this folder.

ext. I selected the folder /sdcard/sd/music to let it scan,there's 3 folders and 200 music in it,and it only scan the music in 3 folders .

sorry for my poor english...i don't know if you got my mean.thank U
[Android Apps and Games] Tragicc:
I don't know if this has been asked before. But How do i get my songs from the music folder to show up in the library and not folders. It doesn't seem to break it down by album, artist, etc when its like that for me.

I want it to show up in library but I can not seem to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] Chugfrenzy:
Amazing beta version, def one of the most promising Apps I've seen in a long time. Would definitely pay for this as soon as Last.FM scrobbling is supported.

One problem tho, i've got a cifs share set up on an Win7 (Music folder sub-divided into Letter/Artist/Album) and when scanning, PowerAMP only seems to notice up to "F" - is there a Maximum number of folders that it wall scan?

Would be a shame if that's the case because it's an ideal Player for streaming from my PC collection (About 350GB).
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Check to make sure it's not installed to SD with Froyo Apps2SD. Widgets won't work there.
[Android Apps and Games] hayer:
press menu and it gives you an option for all songs and all your other playlists that you have with stock player
[Android Apps and Games] jark99:
Good punjabi music man! Nice video
[Android Apps and Games] :
I was about to install the app, but even if it has EQ support, the above are all dealbreakers for me. I guess I'll wait 'til the official version. OP, thanks for sharing.
[Android Apps and Games] manyun:
can i suggest to developer to add a 4x3 and 4x4 for more options?

with 4x3 and 4x4 it will show more buttons, large for viewing album art or small equalizer/visualiser in widget.

and last .. how about to add an option to save a lyrics from web in player? no one android player cant do that. perhaps the developer can make it happen :D

im sorry for my bad english, hope you understand
[Android Apps and Games] RodneyBR:
I'm also jealous. Sony for F sake, get 2.1 out the door.
[Android Apps and Games] tienhn:
Great app for Nexus One

Just downloaded and tested on my N1. Great app so far, no problem, nice GUI.
[Android Apps and Games] typ_ex:
Best music app yet. MIUI + PowerAMP = cream dream!

MIUI's music player kept making me go back to CM6, but Poweramp makes up for almost everything CM6 had.

One more thing though, is it possible to add functionality to the power buttons? For example, holding the "up" volume button skips to the next track.
[Android Apps and Games] xero2002:
Any idea when we can expect the next Beta?

Since you mentioned that 1.0 Build 68 is already pretty old. :)

Great app!
[Android Apps and Games] tdgobux:
this is by far the best music app on the market. i look forward to seeing it mature. that said, i did notice one quirky thing - the player recognizes the flac files by folder, but does not add the the parent folder to the library. for example, i have 2 arcade fire albums, 1 mp3, 1 flac, the mp3 album is listed.
[Android Apps and Games] jokes24:
Folder scanning issues

only issue im having is its not getting my music from the sdcard/music folder
[Android Apps and Games] KLoNe1:
Definitely the best music app available; even beats out MusicPlayerPro.

Can't believe this is still in Beta - such HUGE potential right here.

Even rids my Galaxy S of the FLAC tag errors it's had since I bought it at launch! :D
[Android Apps and Games] twochannel:
And it seems to play flac/alac lossless quite well to boot! Other flac players (winamp beta and andless) seem to have very annoying skipping issues on my incredible (cm 6.0.2) So much in fact I'm wondering If i have some other issue going on, but now PowerAmp has been great so far.
[Android Apps and Games] lordzebdeh:
excelent app, sooo fast
[Android Apps and Games] czeph:
I have found my music player at last! Nice job. Subscribed to find out about updates and to buy when this is out of beta!
[Android Apps and Games] peachpuff:
Transparent widget/no background and font color selection would be nice, and maybe some white/black widget buttons too, also ability to hide the notification bar. I already uninstalled winamp :D
[Android Apps and Games] Monofail:
Amazing player, everything looks sweet as. Love the EQ.

I have found one issue (???), with my Nexus when I use the volume rocker to change the volume it changes the ringer volume not the media volume. The dial works fine but its nice to use the rocker.

Also if you could add some sort of wifi sync to your pc link Winamp has this would make the app kill

****Edit****

Volume rocker has started working as expected. But now the widget dies every time i reload and it no longer shows in the list so i can re add it.
[Android Apps and Games] Jandyman:
not working here :(

i open it, it says 'scanning folders' then automatically closes itself and bring me to home. il try a reinstall

EDIT: still not working after un/re-install :(
[Android Apps and Games] lolz mclollerson:
Awesome music player. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] typ_ex:
anybody have any good broad spec EQ/treble/bass settings? I tend to listen to indie rock and techno/trance.
[Android Apps and Games] r@nd0m:
Very nice player. Gapless playback already seems to be integrated into the app.

So far the annoying thing for me is (which has been mentioned perviously) that when you browse by artist it shows all songs and not grouped by album...

When viewing an album it is sorted alphabetically, but in folder/file view it is ok... I'd rather not use FOlder/File view but so far is the only way if I want to play an album not in alphabetical order.

Very fast app though and the EQ is actually quite nice to play around with to get a better sound through the earphones.

Looking forward to an update on this app as it looks like it has huge potential going by the Beta release.
[Android Apps and Games] SwiftLegend:
EDIT: Got it working. Another question. Anyone know how to transfer downloaded album artwork from iTunes to this? I only can get the artwork i manually copy and pasted from amazon into iTunes to show up in the player..

I went into my iTunes folder which holds all of my library, and it has an album artwork folder, but the artwork is stored in some weird file format..
[Android Apps and Games] Crey23:
Absolute Noobe question

Ok, how do I install???

So I need to download from phone? Or PC and pass it to the SDCard?

Only been around Android for 2 weeks....and totally hooked!!!!

Thanks in advance for not grilling me here....
[Android Apps and Games] SwiftLegend:
You can download it directly onto your phone or download to your pc and then transfer it to your sdcard. Either way, you need to then download a file manager from the market in order to install it. Search Astro in the market and just locate the apk with it. It's just like browsing through your harddrive on Windows or a Mac, so it should be easy.
[Android Apps and Games] Crey23:
Thanks!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] AfzalivE:
excellent app! just what I needed.

Btw, is there a way to disable Scan at boot?
[Android Apps and Games] praveen6585:
OMFG!! this app rocks!! the equalisers are probably the coolest thing to happen on my SGS! cant stop tweaking around with it!! i really dont see why this app needs to be in beta anymore! :)
[Android Apps and Games] sirtrancealot:
Awesome player, much better than any of the others out for Android at the mo.

would be great if you could make you're own skins like with the old Winamp.

not really a huge fan of either of the stock skins.
[Android Apps and Games] hetman6:
just needs controls on the lock screen

def my fav player so far... and here i was happy with winamp
[Android Apps and Games] sunnylovesalman:
Outstanding

This one is freaking outstanding.Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
currently only scans 3 folders deep, which isn't good for GalaxyS on Froyo.

If I put my music in external sd card, poweramp only allows me to set /mnt/sdcard/external_sd. I'm unable to set my music folder, only the whole external sd card as my music folder which results in lots of extraneous junk. Also, why are mp4 files recognized as music files?

Keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] g3nx174:
Thank you

just wanna say thanks my music sounds crazy now amazing :D. live wallpaper music scope and amp meter (live wallpapers) :cool: does NOT work on HTC HD2 android 2.2
[Android Apps and Games] Sternmann1:
Hi Owziee,

as an old user of Winamp for windows I was very interested in what you did for the android platform. I downloaded today and installed PowerAMP. It is an awsome work you did. Real fine player. Works fine on HTC Desire with RCMixHD ROM V0.8.

Keep on going with PowerAMP. Thx for this real good player. :)
