To those saying that the price of PowerAMP is too steep, get over yourselves. How much would it cost for a dedicated Digital Audio Player with the same features that PowerAMP includes and with such large screens? Over $100.00 if not $200.00 and above (Sony X1000 is $400.00).

I paid a lot of money for my phone and if I can save money and pocket space by purchasing an app for the phone instead of getting an extra discrete device for certain purpose, then count me in.

Thank you for all the hard work MaxMP.
[Android Apps and Games] iamsupreme:
Very well said. Quick question, what's a dedicated DAP? Thanks man.
[Android Apps and Games] Soul_Est:
Oh that is a digital audio player. They are called that because the many of them play more than just MP3 files.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidBone:
Just bought this app!

It's so totally frickin' awesome, it's almost scary!! :p

I LOVE the colors, and I love that you can display the LYRICS that's been added to the tag! Been looking forward to this app in my dreams, and now it's here.. :D

If anything, I'd hope it'll someday show more tag-info on the "info"-option.. Like, composer first of all.. And, "comment" seems to show the first 'custom tag' (atleast what's Custom 1 if you use MediaMonkey..)

Anywho.. Awesome.. just simply awesome!!

Hmm, PowerAMP reads my default library, but it when it scans my music folder, nothing shows up. Can anyone shed light on this?

Nevertheless, the app is awesome. This and Winamp for Android are now making music a more prominent feature for the OS.

I will be buying this when its out
[Android Apps and Games] britoso:
excellent work MaxMP. I believe I've found my new best music player :)
[Android Apps and Games] britoso:
I had a similar issue.

What I did:

go to settings. select your root music folder in "music folders". uncheck all others.

I even disabled the "system folder scan" amd "create music folders"

Hope this helps.

[Android Apps and Games] O_G:
This app is really good for one that is still in early development.

Just to give you some more feedback as you have graciously let us test this.

I have seemed to have found another problem when using power amp with a bluetooth stereo. When you use the stereo to skip tracks forward or back while using the htc player, poweramp fires up and starts playing in the background. This happens even if poweramp is forced closed with a taskmanager.

Looking forward to any newer releases you decide to let us play with.

Great Work:)
[Android Apps and Games] Rastaman-FB:
this happens on alot of players that have play controlls when you have others that have play controll aswell.

its persistence, winamp does it too if not worse cos it stops poweramp from being able to control the music at all unless you disable it.

if you use this for bluetooth stereo then it should prioritse itself over the htc player and the htc player will not start in the background, once this has a lock screen widget and maybe a 4x2 home widget with album art it will be much better

also my issue is the slowness of the home widget updating with the 1st track after rebooting or being away from home for a long period of time
[Android Apps and Games] Indiana Jones:

dang this App is F-ing great. I enjoy the swipe gestures, and the flac. Im listening to flacs on my EVO and surfing the net with no hiccups. Well done, can wait till is fully baked.
[Android Apps and Games] xero2002:
Amazing app! Love the work that has been put into it. :)

Keep on going mate. Can't wait for the next Beta going public. :D

One feature I'd like to see: When using gestures in player mode it tells me end of library when I've reached the last album. Would be nice if it would just go to the first one after the last album. Like a roundabout, if you know what I'm trying to say.
[Android Apps and Games] Tweezydak1d:

Only $5???

That's makes $60 pesos in my country, wich is the same price for a Six pack of beers...

The ecualizer is simply perfect, I never though that my generic earphones could sound so pretty...

My congratulations for the creator of this app...
[Android Apps and Games] xManMythLegend:
Fantastic App.

Volume Button skip track would be superb.
[Android Apps and Games] iamsupreme:
You may have to enable it in settings. I'm able to hold volume up and/or volume down for a second or two to skip tracks while the screen is off. Pretty awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] xManMythLegend:
Wow it does. I think Winamp being in the background was preventing it ?

Either way GREAT app.
[Android Apps and Games] chaosdemon06:
Ya if you have a stereo bluetooth headset this works fine like all the music apps. :)

hey i just got poweramp, great app i must say.

Only issue i have is that i can't add poweramp widget onto my widgetlocker lockscreen. Anyone know of any solution?

Don't wanna use the poweramp lockscreen widget as i need other widgets on my lockscreen
[Android Apps and Games] demize!:
I hate to post this here BC it's not player specific, but I am using it as my default player and posted 2 Q&A'S and have gotten no love. I have all ringtones/alerttones showing up in music player and even though those directories aren't selected. Also when I dl music sometimes and I can't seem to isolate Why or when, songs are listed multiple times. If I delete one the others remain listed but won't play. I HATE a sloppy music folder and don't like ringtones going off in my headset along with downloaded podcasts which also aren't checked for media scanning. Can anyone give me some insight

Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
[Android Apps and Games] eniamg02:
For ringtone issue place all ringtones in one folder then create a file named ".nomedia" and place it in that folder, just reboot the phone afterwards and rescan folders in app.
[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
shouldn't be a problem. I have the 4x1 widget on my widgetlocker working fine.
[Android Apps and Games] demize!:
Thanks @Gemaine but then they don't show up in the tone picker when choosing various alerts.

Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
[Android Apps and Games] Adevem:
this is pretty awesome. but on the SGS, the default screen still flashes for a bit before the widget's screen come into play.

kind of like the "bug" for widget locker!
[Android Apps and Games] andrewilley:
I'm a bit of a noob too, but I left my ringtones in the system default /sdcard/Music folder, and pointed PowerAMP to its own /sdcard/MusicFolders folder, where I store all my MP3 music folders.

That gives me all my music via PowerAMP, and the system can still find ringtones. Alert tones (rather than ringtones) seem to live in /sdcard/media/audio/notifications.

Nice app works great.

Installed on my X10 with Android 2.1 rooted.

Widget is also good..
[Android Apps and Games] O_G:
Hi.

I have tried the new build and it is really coming on, great to see the headset disconnect issue is sorted. Things i would like to see before i buy:

-Option to change default widget and main app text and icon colour. (Blue to green for example) But keep the same matte metal skin.

-Lockscreen controls like the stock HTC one

Thanks for the great app.

[Android Apps and Games] deaffob:
good music player but it's sensitive to widgets. I can't use tjam or typoclock without stuttering. This is also same for Winamp. I can only use Mixzing. That's the one that doesn't stutter with polling widgets.
[Android Apps and Games] demize!:
So you just relocated,cut&pasted all music to poweramp's folder. I'm going to try that because I have like 10 folders with music from various downloaders.

Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
[Android Apps and Games] CHERNAB0G:
Don't u just LOVE autocorrect? XD anyway, this app is really awsome, best one I've used in my year and a half of android, people mentioned it being 5$? I guess that isn't so bad, especially for all the options you get....you can even set the balance between right and left....that's just awsome, or as it says in the app description "powerful piece of software", and they ain't lying....
[Android Apps and Games] pdefazio:
Probably a dumb question but:

How do I go about changing the album art if the downloaded one is incorrect?
[Android Apps and Games] Soul_Est:
Q

Upon reading that PowerAMP included balance modification, I looked all over the app for it (especially the EQ screen) but couldn't find it. :( If you don't mind me asking, where did you find it? My left ear isn't as good as my right ear when it come to hearing anything (around a 3 dB difference between the two).
[Android Apps and Games] Guitarfreak26:
Whats the best settings guys for rock and pop? Ive got a top quality pair of westone headphones but dont know alot about EQ and stuff. Whats the best settings to get the most out of it?

[Android Apps and Games] rebski:
I own a Dell Streak and have just downloaded, listened to and then purchased PowerAmp.

This is a fantastic app so why on earth are people here carping over the price? I don't understand.

At $5 it is an absolute bargain and really should cost at least twice that.

Kudos to MaxMP for a superb app and with it my gratitude for making it available.

A quick glance at the PowerAmp forum shows that there is much in the pipeline to look forward to including (joy of joys) support for lyrics.

This is just so, so good.
[Android Apps and Games] iamsupreme:
Apparently there are people here that must have no means of income or are paid in compliments instead of money at their job. I meet people all the time that have no purchased apps or a single .99 cent app. With such an awesome piece of mobile hardware (their Android phone), I'm a little perplexed that they find it unreasonable to pay anything for a program for their phone.

I purchase software for my PC at the store regularly (and online as well). Most software and/or games will set you back $39.99 - $59.99 on average. How a $5, full-featured piece of music playback software (aka "App") is "a bit steep" or "too much" just reiterates my notion that there are some VERY CHEAP people out there.

You probably won't find the answer your looking for here. Join the Head-Fi forums and create a thread in here: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/list/103 with that same question as well as model of smartphone you're using (as each manufacturer likes to tune the sound signature in some way).

You can be pretty sure that those whiners who complain about the pricing of the apps, also use a ton of pirated software.

They are simply too used to NOT paying for software, no matter the price, thus the complaints.
[Android Apps and Games] jimbobalu:
Where is this "poweramp" folder you speak of? I don't have one on my SD, do I need to create it? All my music is in my "Music" folder on my SD or are you referring to the folder view in the app itself which does show all my music.

Thanks

Why do I want to use PowerAMP when I get tons of free or ads alternative? The only problem I have with PowerAMP is that it is a Trial ware. Maybe they could said it from the start and I wouldn't spent days trying to config the ware as the main music player!

And which portion of the app listed on the market do you not understand it is a trial?

http://www.appbrain.com/app/poweramp-music-player-(trial)/com.maxmpz.audioplayer

Its called "PowerAMP Music Player (Trial)" for goodness sake.
[Android Apps and Games] Adevem:

[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
So you performed a classic User Error, but you're hopeful that your new phone will handle it better? No. Apps2SD in Froyo, Widgets simply will not work if you move the app to SD.

I believe he was referring to the 2-3 weeks it was here with no mention of the usage parameters in the future. Reduced functionality in a free version. I've already asked at least one person how much would PowerAmp be worth if the EQ was disabled? I don't think I got a response...
[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
Less worries there, the DHD has copious amounts of internal memory, no more need to push stuff to SD. :D

I believe it was mentioned a long time ago that it wouldn't be permanently free, and that the dev wasn't here to do any promotion but to answer any doubts. Besides, I think it isn't our place to question the dev's method of whether to release crippled versions - his stand is final for his application, and besides it would be redundant to release any versions that would have a direct impact on his sales figures.

Afterall, this isn't a charity. Hard work deserves to be rewarded.
[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
Yup, evidently... :D
[Android Apps and Games] rebski:
I don't use the EQ, I much prefer the sound with it disabled.

Even so the app is still worth every penny of the measly $5 so, no, I won't be looking for a reduction because I disable the EQ..

There is certainly a tough crowd on here, impossible to please I would say.

[Android Apps and Games] gigermunit:
i have aac and mp3 on my phone, and both has eq effects working well.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
If you created a Library playlist, I suspect that's internal to Android. Right now I still feel PowerAmp needs to work on Playlists, but I think he's moving towards his own custom Library so he can blur the line between Library and Filesystem.

Right now Filesystem = Files are enumerated from the filesystem using the paths you specify. Library = Android media library.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Really? I think it sounds horrid without the EQ, much worse than several others. He has work to do to the baseline.. Or the other programs have a baked-in EQ.... Or rahter, Android does, I think almost all of the other programs use Android to do the actual playing.

What I mean by how much is the EQ worth, let's say Max sold this for $1 or $2 without EQ, $5 with EQ. Would it be worth it to buy it for that price without the EQ? For me no way.
[Android Apps and Games] rebski:
If I can get better sound quality then I am always interested.

I would appreciate a head's up as to what you recommend I check out?
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Well, that wasn't the direct intention, but I was using MusicMod before. PowerAmp without EQ work and some slight amount of preamp sounds underpowered and really flat.. Mid tones, but no highs or lows.
[Android Apps and Games] rebski:
Thanks, I shall check it out.

The developer also maintains a good communication on xda and I am always happy to support a labour of love.
[Android Apps and Games] DeaconBoogie:
Still no word on ReplayGain support?

This, IMO, is a must for quality music app.
[Android Apps and Games] chanw4:
I'm using alternatives but people who posted this app on like every sub-forum need to inform user that this is a trial ware especially when trial ware is not allow in here. I've downloaded this without the mentioning of trial (and still doesn't other than the MOD EDIT which remove the links to trial ware).
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Ok guys, when this thread started there was no limit on the trial. Then it went pro and things changed. If you like the app they pay for it, if you dont want to pay for it then dont, that is your choice but please stop with all the flaming in the thread.

[Android Apps and Games] MaxMP:
2 original_ganjaman

Just disable "Respond To Headset Buttons" in PowerAMP settings. In Androids before 2.2 there is no priority for the headset controls across apps, so this is controlled in per-app settings.

You can enable such thing with Repeat All mode (press "repeat" button).

Absolutely yes. Next beta coming with bug fixes and few new features:

- lock screen

- 4x1 and 4x2 widgets with album art

- album art downloader

- scrobbler (via simple last.fm or scrobbler droid)

- wv and ape

- proper artist->album navigation

- better folder selection, better headset support, better library sorting, and a lot of other tweaks.

very awesome so far
[Android Apps and Games] GrenW:
Really awesome player. The eq is very, very good and the gaps between tunes are almost invisible. Unless there's a disaster this will become my default and only player (apart from the default player in rom).

I may be missing something but is there are a way to play an album in track number order - essential for mix albums. The tag is there in the info but the album appears in alphabetical order. In 'folders' its fine and plays in track order but in 'library' mode its not.

Omg, I love this app more and more the more I use it :) Is there a way to purchase it already now even if it's still in beta??? I'm afraid that the beta will just expire soon and I will just stand there crying my eyes out :P
