i love this app! esp. the eq function. if i could change some things, it would be:

-to be able to restart a song using the previous button

-to have a mode where the bottom half of the screen could maybe retract for room for bigger album art? (the album art is fine on hdpi devices but on mdpi i wish there was more room for it)

-custom skins (im not sure if there is or not, maybe i just havent looked myself. i want to make my own skin to match the rest of my phone)

but dont get me wrong, i love this app and will continue using it

GREAT APP

I will definitely PAAY For this...
[Android Apps and Games] kkssgg:
I have test battery usage yesterday. Nexus One 2.2.1, PowerAMP is using 6 to 8% of the battery. Checked on normal day usage with nearly 80% of the time playing, tested till battery dropped to ~10%.

Max MP: I as found another small issue - i listen to music on my headphones, when am getting call (music stopped) I unplug headphones because I don't have microphone there and talk normally but when call ends the music starts playing again while headphones were not plugged, would be nice if PowerAMP could check for headphones as well and resume playing only if both conditions (headphones state, call state) are same as before received call ...
[Android Apps and Games] jasonziter:
To the Dev "Max",

First off......EXCELLENT PLAYER, SO FAR, MAN !!!

Secondly things to fix.

1. Artist section - albums within an artists folder need to be preserved.

List by track number within the album, not alphabetically without albums.

2. Player stays on after screen times out. This is a must.

3. Removing the headphones and having the player stop.....not important.....no other players Ive used do this anyway (stock, tune wiki, mix zing, rock player) so keep it as is.

Update:

1. No Bluetooth control for play,skip,pause,player volume. Got to implement this, especially if you're gonna charge for the player when free players include this.

2. No exit button. We don't always want it running in the background or have to go into manage applications to turn it off. Fix this.

3. No Lockscreen widget. Not a huge deal but icing is icing. If you want your player at the top....Fix this.

4. You can have the folder organized according to track BUT still no separation of albums within an artist. Fix this.

5. Widget is pretty plain. It works....yes, but an album cover pic on it would just spice it up a bit.....not a huge deal.

Fix the above 1-5 and your player will be tops in the market. I would pay $1-3 as is. Fix the above and is pay up to $10.

Great start man !!!!

2 jasonziter

It seems like you tested first beta release (build 68). Most of the features/issues you highlighted are implemented/fixed in 113. Though, even build 68 should work with BT controls (if enabled in poweramp settings AND disabled in other players, as other players can hijack button presses before poweramp even sees them).
[Android Apps and Games] jasonziter:
WOW!!!! Fast response. I was afraid you weren't watching this thread in particular. Although you have posted on prior pages. I'm guilty of not reading entire threads. Checking for a link posted for 113. Thanks !

Where can I get the new build to check out.
[Android Apps and Games] musashiken:
@jasonziter: The new build is somewhere in this thread. Go do a little searching. If I can search through 20+ pages for it, so can you.

Love this app, will pay for it once it comes out.

The album art on the widget seems rather pixelated, like it's trying to compress the original art by very basic downscaling. I'm not sure if it's my launcherpro in 5x4, but other music app widgets seem to downscale the album art better.

Also the previous/next track buttons on the widget are a little unresponsive. The play button works ok, but I keep accidentally going into the main application when I try to tap on the previous/next buttons on the widget. My suggestion is to just make tapping on the album art the only way to get into the app instead of tapping anywhere on the whole widget.
[Android Apps and Games] DeaconBoogie:
MaxMP,

Looking forward to this player becoming the "foobar2000" for Android... But I have one suggestion:

ReplayGain support!

You already have a fantastic player that plays all three major formats that I use (Ogg-Vorbis, FLAC, and MP3). I consider myself a bit of an audiophile, so ReplayGain is what I use in order to keep perceived volume levels across my collection equal (I hate having to reach for the phone's volume control if a louder song comes on).

ReplayGain does this without changing the actual waveform (unlike normalization), it just stores two (or four) gain values as metadata. (Two values for each track, an additional two if you've scanned it as an entire album, which is handy if you're listening to an album which does not have gaps between songs -- like a DJ set or orchestral piece.)

You have a preamp process already, so applying the attenuation recommended by the RG tags should be a fairly trivial thing to implement.

[Android Apps and Games] brbdc:
I still see my ringtones and other sys sounds in my folder list. I have everything unchecked except /MusicFolder and played with all the settings. How do I remove these sounds from the list?
[Android Apps and Games] Smabbage:
Did you select to rescan folders after you made the necessary changes?
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
No such issue here, not with either build I tried. It plays for hours nonstop no problem. Maybe something specific to your configuration there?
[Android Apps and Games] chilidavid:
PowerAMP - my favorite Player!

It's simply the best.

PowerAMP >> Mixzing (looks better, codecs, equalizer works with every codec)

PowerAMP > Winamp (EQ, codecs)

Would love to see:

Musepack (*.mpc) support

Availability on android market (HTC Desire, Germany)

Peak meter with clipping

Save & Load EQ-Settings as custom Preset on SD

Use JPG/PNG file as album cover (userdefinable name / "use first jpg found in album folder")
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
One thing I hope Max works out in the final version is the confusion between "Filesystem" and "Library".

He's explained it a bit in the first time run that the Library is owned by Android etc, but you can not mix the two. You can't create a playlist out of the Library then add to it from the Filesystem, vice versa.. If you create a Filesystem Playlist then later look at the Library, it's not the same lists of Playlists.

IMO Playlists should be independent of the method of selecting the music, regardless of what Android base functionality is being used. And again IMO there should be two types of playlists:

Currently Playing - A list of songs you've added to the "Current" playlist, it's persistent, likely should be able to save it to a "Saved" type playlist, but it's just want you want to listen to "right now"

Saved Playlists - A playlist you want to reload later, such as "All songs by band XYZ". Ideally you could dump multiple Saved Playlists into the Current Playlist, in case you want to play two or more of these playlists.

That's my take it on it, anyway.. And right now I'm still a little confused with Playlists. Sometimes I'm surprised when adding songs to a Playlists works, other times frustrated that it didn't work. I don't know if it's bugs around Playlists or I'm just being obtuse.

There's likely some polish that could go on in PowerAmp, like hitting the Back button it's way too easy to pop out of the program when you really meant to go back to the screen you were just on etc, but I think 95% of it is solid and gold. Playlists really need to be tweaked.

Although honestly most players anymore seem to completely disregard playlists, maybe I'm in the minority here that a playlist is a flat-out requirement. I was using Music Mod for a while solely because it did playlists simply and did them well. It's overall not bad, but very little perks otherwise. I used bTunes for a while but I wanted to vomit every time I had to use the interface.

I tried WinAmp once, but it seemed to run ALL the time, playing or not, headphones in or not, and that kind of stuff bugs me. The system will kill stuff you're not using, and in fact I saw it happen in logcat, "no longer want com.xyz.winamp" or whatever, then immediately it restarted itself. That and it requires lastfm to scrobble, which is in itself a huge program, no thanks.

Anywho, look forward to seeing how much better PowerAmp gets, it's great as it is, but please try to make the Playlists less confusing. :) One central playlist with the two types would be ideal. Anyone else who wants playlists have opinions here?
[Android Apps and Games] ctbear:
Agree. I listen to my library playlist when I go to sleep, and shuffle all songs in folders view when I go to gym. Sometimes it gets confusing to switch back and forth.

The reason I'm using folder view to shuffle songs is because by default, the library view includes ringtones. I have yet to find a way to exclude them.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Hmm, yep I see that too now.. I never "shuffle all" so i hadn't noticed, but yeah in Albums->Unknown I see my "Notification" which is the folder I put ringtones in, /sdcard/Notification
[Android Apps and Games] jasonziter:
Max,

Just tried 113. Nice update. Where's the widget. Maybe a reset is what I need. Second....you still need an exit button so its not running in the background when we don't want it to. Thanks man. The thing rocks hard !!!

Update:

Just needed a quick reboot and the widgets appeared. Exit button and this thing is pretty ready for 90+% of us. The other stuff I've seen mentioned would be nice for the audiophile geeks, but this build is pretty sexy as is man !!
[Android Apps and Games] niles1:
Totally awesome! I wish it'd be on market in finland. Landscape coverflow (like in ipod touch) is something its missing but it is still the best
[Android Apps and Games] eXpii:
Yeah, this annoys me too, should get fixed. Otherwise great player!

I am also planning to buy headphones with mic and controls if they work with PowerAMP. Will all of them work well with PowerAMP?
[Android Apps and Games] theguitarguy58:
Can someone explain how to make this app read the music from internal?

I went to settings and when I choose what folders to scan it only shows the ones on my sd card.
[Android Apps and Games] tourist08:
First of all thanks a lot for this great player!

It's nearly perfect!

There are only a few features I'm missing:

- repaygain support

- a real folder structure:

At the moment, the subfolders are displayed in the main menu. I have several folders with subfolders (for example cd1 and cd2). They are shown both with there subfolder-name. It would make sense, if only the main folder "album xy" is shown in the main menu and the subfolder are only shown by choosing the mainfolder.

- cover art support for each file:

I have a folder named "singles" with a lot of different tracks in it. Each track has it's own cover named as "filename.jpg". Right now, these covers are not displayed correctly.

Hope these features can be added. After this, the player will be a killer app! The "mortplayer" manages the features no. 2 + 3 in perfection!

Thanks a lot (and sorry for my bad english)
[Android Apps and Games] jschill31:
Excellent program, unique interface. +1 to the dev for bringing this to us!
[Android Apps and Games] elziko:
For anyone who has tried this beta, does it support any of the following?:

1) Gapless playback

2) Support for replay gain

3) Crossfading
[Android Apps and Games] O_G:
You can change the music folder in the settings so it only shows music from selected folders.

I love this app, the only major issue i have is when i try to use it with my sony bluetooth car stereo. When i turn the stereo off and the headset disconnects the music keeps playing through the phone internal speaker. The htc player automatically pauses the music.

I also agree the widget needs some work it is far to basic. For a beta this is a great music player and when the headset disconnect problem is sorted i will use this as my main player.
[Android Apps and Games] adolfotregosa:
i'm probably dreaming but finally someone who gives a damm about that feature !!! I'm exactly on the same page, when that is added it will be my main player.

also hope he adds gapless playback..

edit - i think the author had gapless on mind except it isn't perfect, but it is the best out there regarding gapless playback.
[Android Apps and Games] eozen81:
OMG, it looks awesome guys, thanks a lot owziee

also rollercoastervj for youtube, videos are making us catch the moments easier than ever.
[Android Apps and Games] norkoastal:
While were on the topic of enhancements for this awesome program...

This will be the hands down killer app if it can do the following....

Allow the bluetooth connected Wiimote to control the app once launched. Skipping songs, volume changes, pause, etc could all be controlled without looking at the phone at all. CM6 has the mouse capabilities intact (Evo owner), but the existing wiimote programs only input keyboard commands for emulators..

Willing to donate $20 to the dev of this feature..

[Android Apps and Games] MaxMP:
Hi guys,

thanks for the beta-testing!

I'm the developer of the PowerAMP.

The version you tried is pretty early beta version, released only to one of the internal russian sites for some early limited core functionality testing . The next beta will include all the bells and whistles you mentioned here (like various sortings, better headsets support etc).

Early beta is important for devs as it shows how the app will work in general in so fragmented Android population.

The gapless playing and other audio processing related features are planned for 2.0 version, but not for the first release. Though, delay between the tracks introduced by player itself is minimal (esp. compared to other players).
[Android Apps and Games] 92slammer:
anyone having problem with album art not showing
[Android Apps and Games] el.dizzee:
First off, I've gotta say that this is an amazing app! Still in beta and already one of the best music players out there!

I just have one question though (and forgive me if this has already been addressed somewhere or is obvious and I've just missed it): is there a way to disable the haptic feedback when pressing the menu button?
[Android Apps and Games] MaxMP:
Doesn't standard android setting (sound and display->haptic feedback) work for you? If not, what is your device/os version?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] samrozzi:
do you think you could put it in the android market. I like apps from the market because if the dev updates them, you know instantly and easier to keep track of
[Android Apps and Games] bjrmd:
Happened to me and the only way to get it back was to flash a sense tom. Even nandroid of my cyanogen evo would not bring it back
[Android Apps and Games] el.dizzee:
Yes, that does work for me but I'm not trying to disable ALL haptic feedback, just the one in poweramp. I find it kind of odd that it makes the phone vibrate for menu button presses. So far I've found that you can turn off the beep whenever pressing 'back' and 'next' from the lockscreen but no option to turn off vibration.

I'm using an HTC Legend running Azure 1.0.1 (a CM6 Froyo mod)
[Android Apps and Games] el.dizzee:
Wow hahah just realized you're the dev so you're probably well aware of those things :)

@Dev thanks for this great app! I love u man :cool: Are you distributing newer betas for testing? And dude get a site up and running for this.. we want details!

cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] ivorycruncher:
What phone do you have? If you have the Droid Incredible, the internal storage should be mounted under /sdcard/sd. Android is setup in a way that all media storage should be found under the /sdcard mount point, so any internal storage that isn't mounted in a subdirectory under that isn't meant to be used for media storage, and thus media players can't read it.

EDIT: If anybody has internal media storage that's accessible from any media player and is not found under /sdcard, please let me know, but I have not seen such a configuration as of yet.
[Android Apps and Games] .A.J.:
Best music app I've tried. I'm looking forward to getting the official version. Hopefully the cost won't be too high.

MaxMP

, here are some notes/suggestions from my experience with version 1.0.113: 1) when you enable the lock-screen widget it changes the timeout (in lock-screen) from the default 5 seconds to whatever your screen timeout is set to under display settings. It would be nice if the lock-screen timeout would remain at 5 seconds or better yet was configurable. (this may not be possible, I don't know) 2) It would be great if there were a preset EQ setting that showcased vocals/voices. 3) The ability to create and save custom EQ settings would be fantastic. 4) The ability to assign EQ profiles to albums (or individual songs) would be a dream come true. (I'm sure that I'm reaching here but what the hell).

Thanks again for your time/effort. I love the app and will be acquiring it as soon as I can afford it.

P.S. excuse me if any of this was already mentioned as I haven't the time to read the entire thread.

There's a cool "side effect," if you will, regarding the screen lock widget. Apparently, if you select "Direct Unlock" the trackpad can wake the phone as well. I was used to using trackball wake on my Nexus One, but didn't have that on my G2. Plus, you don't get a slider but rather a button to unlock, which I greatly prefer. This thing has a LOT of cool options in it to play with. :)
