Work Great on X10 2.1

Awesome work MaxAMP keep the good work!

Not even a single nasty error, the only two thing i noticed is that some folders don't get the album art and the battery consumption has increased 40% compared to Winamp player, but prob. is because the EQ.

But I just love it & because sound great!
[Android Apps and Games] fatttire:
None of those rules were broken.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
If you're referring to MaxMP, he's responded to this thread, he did not start it. Piss and moan elsewhere.
[Android Apps and Games] iamsupreme:
Rule 12. Don't piss on and alienate talented app developers by making false claims.

I'm not sure why people can't follow common sense rules.
[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
And so the troll roalex has ran away to hide in shame.....

Aww....And I was looking forward to see what he had to tell the moderators as to his EXTENSIVE understanding of the XDA rules.
[Android Apps and Games] blestsol:
I lol'd.
[Android Apps and Games] eniamg02:
Hey max,i read there will be a trial version as well as paid.what will be the difference between the two?
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Ok guys let it go.:-)

Sent from my GpthDroid w/ XDA app
[Android Apps and Games] MaxMP:
The trial version will work after 2 trial weeks. As well, I'm planning to add some features into full version only (though, trial will get some of the new features too).
[Android Apps and Games] eniamg02:
Ah ok thanks, I'm planning to buy just curious :) still on schedule for one week?
[Android Apps and Games] MaxMP:
Yes. Should be available on market in the beginning of the next week.
[Android Apps and Games] jonny68:
Not too expensive i hope:)
[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
US$5 is the stated price..... :D
[Android Apps and Games] roalex:
As if that maters, anybody can make an account or ask somebody to post, the rule state clearly you cannot offer trials.
[Android Apps and Games] eniamg02:
@ roalex you've made your point you think this thread is violating the rules it is pointless to sit here and argue about it, I'm sure a mod has seen this thread and thought otherwise.Let it go man this is a great music player if you dont like it because "app isnt that great" then im confused as to why your posting in this thread,to argue?im sure none of us come to xda for that so good day.
[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
Please, go tell that to the senior mod who said it didn't break the rules. I sense a ban in your future.
[Android Apps and Games] jonny68:
$5 isn't too bad I suppose..

Hi

I get one more little problem, with a new ROM this works great, but after a while of use the widget in main screen gives me a error, something like "Error Loading Widget", and if i try to put other widget, the PowerAMP widget doesn't appear in widget's list, so in order to have widget again I need to uninstall widget and app, and re-install them again, really boring...
[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
Could be your rom's problems....doesn't happen on 2 separate Android phones I have.
[Android Apps and Games] waichung:
play wma perfectly on my n1, really a good app

hope there will be discount when the paid version is first launched :D
[Android Apps and Games] snake_boss:
that's really bad luck... I thing this program is amazing but in one ROM they don't read the foders and files, therefore no music to play, I change ROM and in this the widget seems to have some kind of problem realoading, i think it happens when i reboot the phone or when i turn it on...

For record previous i have a HTC Tattoo and i was using fyodor froyo, and now SPQROM CM 6 invendor. ANd I have problems with both.

So I think even it don't work ever it's good for the developer to knows...

Best regards and thanks

Love the interface when it is open and the ability to tweak settings as you please. However, biggest turnoff is the interface when my DInc is locked. I listen to music during my runs and combining this with Buddy Runner just wasn't as simple of a combination as the stock music app. May try again if the lock screen is cleaned up and simpler than pressing the unlock then drag down then access my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] jc33777:
I just got my first droid phone and i am looking for some awesome apps and ive noticed this site has some pretty strict rules >.< can you message me the link to the site you use?
[Android Apps and Games] rajasyaitan:
Install PowerAMP on phone, not SD.
[Android Apps and Games] sunny_morning:
yes

it is and its perfect!
[Android Apps and Games] andrewilley:
GREAT piece of software, you can expect some money winging your way from me soon. Thank you for all the hard work on it.

A few comments and minor requests (which I've also posted in the product's support forum):

I use my phone largely for listening to longish podcasts so a "press-and-hold headphone button" for fast-forwarding or fast-reversing within a track would be great (like the default music player already does).

Sliding left or right on the trackpad/ball would also be a great way to skip a given number of seconds too - e.g. skip forward 30 seconds (ideally with a configurable value available, as some podcasts can be an hour or two long).

Finally, I get quite a few MP4 videos which auto-download into the same podcast folders, so it'd be really useful to have an option to select which extensions the player will look for (the easiest way would be to have a full list in the settings screen, with tick-to-select, so I can just disable MP4s).

Oh, and an option to auto-refresh the folder/file list on startup of the player would be excellent so that it picks up any newly-downloaded podcasts automatically (if it doesn't already).

[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
It's in the market.
[Android Apps and Games] iamsupreme:
Wow... Any doubt now as to whether or not you are a tool? You must be the developer of Simple Music Player. Explains your envy. Get lost and find a new thread to complain in.
[Android Apps and Games] PollPixx:
Great, but i am missing a lot of album art in poweramp. Further on: brilliant.

People who are playing the police: go preach somewhere else...mod said ok, who are you overruling the moderator

[Android Apps and Games] Soul_Est:
Just tried the latest beta from the market and it is brilliant. I merely only have one request that would make this app perfect considering the EQ. Could you include a pan (aka balance) feature alongside the EQ please? Many of us have slight discrepancies in perceived volume between our left and right ears. It would truly be appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] eniamg02:
Full version is out and I purchased already great work max.
[Android Apps and Games] Rastaman-FB:
bought this about 2 hrs ago

concerns me a little whether this licence verification thing is going to become a problem as after i bought it and installed the key i turned off data access.

it force flosed the player telling me it couldnt verify my credentials with the market licencing system.

after i enabled data connection it was fine, since then its not done it again with data access disabled but i concern is that if it does random checks, what if it checks when im on a plane or somewhere that doesnt have data?

my music is for anywhere and shouldnt be limited to internet connection

worth the money though, i know a few people buying it
[Android Apps and Games] Adevem:
maybe i'm cheap but 5$ is rather steep. ;p
[Android Apps and Games] waichung:
this is really a big issue. i will not buy it until it is solved.:(
[Android Apps and Games] gosa:
Interesting... earlier this year I did read about this new "model" for verifying that your app is paid for and "legal", but this is the first time I read about it being used.

Of course it's important that developers can make sure they get paid for their work, but at the same time I do agree with Rastaman-FB - there might be situations where this kind of model could cause problems.
[Android Apps and Games] jimbobalu:
Bought it but if the licensing issue isn't addressed in 24 hours I will get a refund. It is unacceptable to have to have an always on internet connection to use something I paid for, I am not a criminal and don't treat me like one.
[Android Apps and Games] waichung:
yes, i dun have 3g data plan. so, i can't use the paid app anymore....
[Android Apps and Games] JoeIncredible:
+1, definite deal breaker. I hope that's resolved, because I really like (and need) the player.
[Android Apps and Games] Rastaman-FB:
woah woah woah,

im not fully convinced it does constant checks, its only the first time when i had disabled 3g before running the app after the purchase install

it could well only use it for the initial start after the licence install and once verified it remains that way.

I was just a concern i raised.

as for you, this was always going to be a paid app. your issue isnt one of licencing but suggests you may use a warez version when the dev blatently deserves the money.

EDIT: my bad, i see what you mean

if you purchased it over wifi and it activated then it may well be fine

im currently running it with no data connection for the next few hours to see if it will give me that error again
[Android Apps and Games] JoeIncredible:
As for me? wtf you talking about? I was referring to the issue about the verification process possibly requiring an internet connection if it does random checks, which would unacceptable. I have no issue with paying for the app, it is well worth five bucks to me, but I want to be able to use it anytime and anyplace.
[Android Apps and Games] Rastaman-FB:
check my edit

apologies mate

and i did edit it before this post btw
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
The developer does respond in his forums.

I see jimbobalu already started a thread there.

http://power-amp.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=141

Be interesting to see the response.
[Android Apps and Games] JoeIncredible:
No worries.

Thanks for your input and investigating this issue.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Playing whack a mole with the pirates only causes the developer and the customer frustration. In the end, it'll still be pirated. Sad as it is, that's how it is.

Glad someone mentioned this, as I will also hold off on purchase unless this is resolved. Maybe he can make it where it at least doesn't lock out for say 7 days, so if it "needs" to check and can't, maybe it warns the user but otherwise works normally.

Not like music is a critical function, but it would be pretty frustrating being out hiking and the music app deciding it's going to lock you out.
[Android Apps and Games] eniamg02:
Rastaman-FB,hi please post your findings.i purchased already but that would make me think twice about it.
[Android Apps and Games] huskerpat:
It runs without a data connection. I turned off data, restarted the phone, and am now using it without data on.
[Android Apps and Games] orells:
I believe that $5 is steep, I like the app, and I believe the dev got a big head over all the great reviews we've been giving it, and then his thank you to the community for beta testing is to expire our apps and charge a high premium, then lock the app after purchase.... MaxMP this is not a good look sir. I hope you remedy these problems before the rating in the market goes bad.
[Android Apps and Games] Rastaman-FB:
$5 is not alot of money considering its probably the best android music player out since android was released in terms of sound quality and features

there are apps out there that people pay more for that get less use, if you like this app and use it alot then you easily get your monies worth as its less than a block of cheese.

this is an app people will use for long periods of time, every day and the dev clearly knows what hes doing and updates regularly
[Android Apps and Games] Rastaman-FB:
well its been 5 hrs since it completed the activation when it gave me the licencing error and it hasnt asked again with data off so its seems it only phones home on the 1st instance.

ill keep monitoring it till tomorrow morning (before the 24hrs is up) and see if it does it again as data is still off and i dont need it on now im home

seems fine though
[Android Apps and Games] DeaconBoogie:
Huh...

Once ReplyGain support is there and the app licensing issue is solved, I'm in for $4.99.
[Android Apps and Games] MaxMP:
It uses standard LVL approach (this is controlled by Google server responses actually). It checks for LVL license once after unlocker is installed.

And it checks in 48 hours (as Google claims - they set the VT (next check) parameter which forces the player to recheck in that time).

After that it doesn't check anything, no data connection is needed to run the app (VT is set to very large value, according to Google).

If it fails to check the license (due to internet problems or by any other cause), it will do the retry next time it's started. Again, this is pretty standard LVL approach you can see in any paid app using the LVL.
[Android Apps and Games] surveysays:
had the beta and i loved it.. had a quick question about the full version. in album view when your viewing your diff albums. dose it still show to where it shows multiple albums for the same one?

example:

the first album it shows is 808 & Heartbreak from Kanye West.

it would show the album like 6 times because there would be someone ft. on the track and it would have a diff album for each new song someone was ft. if it wasent just kanye west.

i know some players like double twist fix that. i was wondering if there is a fix for that or anything with powerAMP. thx
[Android Apps and Games] Rastaman-FB:
thats awkward, it doesnt affect me but.

Buy licence, activate, go on holiday next day. no data connection - boom no player
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Until now I couldn't decide between using Winamp and PowerAMP. Now the choice is clear. What would have been better (in my opinion) would have been to keep a "lite" version with no expiration date, but with new and improved features constantly added to the full version.
[Android Apps and Games] eniamg02:
So let me get this straight,after buy it only checks license ONCE(48 hrs after install) correct?
[Android Apps and Games] iamsupreme:
Per MaxMP:

"It checks for LVL license once after unlocker is installed.

And it checks in 48 hours (as Google claims - they set the VT (next check) parameter which forces the player to recheck in that time).

After that it doesn't check anything, no data connection is needed to run the app (VT is set to very large value, according to Google)."

Reading comprehension skills should allow one to decipher Max's difficult verbiage as: it checks after you pay for it and run PowerAMP the first time (once) and then once more in 48 hours. It then shouldn't check anymore after that (at least for a ridiculously long period of time).
[Android Apps and Games] eniamg02:
Yes that's what I got out of it,if you bothered to read.a simple correct would have done well as I had just said that.instead you just repeated max's comment for the 3rd time.

Anyway thanks for clearing that up max.
[Android Apps and Games] gosa:
Thanks for clarifying this. Yesterday on my way home (after posting my previous comment) I started thinking along the same lines. In the end one or two times is all that's needed since the registration is related connected to your google account.

The way it's done now makes sense - one time after purchase, and then another time a bit later to check up on those who went for the refund.

Anyway - I'm getting more and more impressed by not only the app itself, but also by the responsiveness from you. Whenever there's a doubt you're there to clear it up.

- Just wish this is how it worked with all software I bought over the years...
[Android Apps and Games] Rastaman-FB:
it does make sense what hes doing to protect his work

i bought it without even thinking as i know i will use it as my default player.

im just highlighting potential issues
[Android Apps and Games] botbucket:
PowerAMP file problem.

just bought PowerAMP, and i've been pretty happy until this; it doesn't play one of my MP3 albums. Just gives me a "failed to play file!" on all of the album's songs, and then eventually "too many failed files. playing will now stop."

The stock Android player and my PC plays that album just fine... where/how can i report this?

e: only had this problem with just one specific album. everything else plays fine so far.
[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
check the encoding used on that album. I've also had a similar problem in the past, turns out it was using a weird encoding spec that plays on the PC with it's much larger codec support.
[Android Apps and Games] zman519:
Hay There Max nice player:cool:

i like it a lot but theirs one thing it has to have before i would pay for it. An option to have the hole player over the lock screen. (just like winamp) the little widget lock screen that it has now it just no good at all for me. You see the problem is in a car driving Its dangers unlocking the phone. And letting your passengers control the music & find a track means you have to tell them all your lock code (half defeating it) or unlocking the phone your self and thus becoming an AHOLE cell phone driver swerving all over the road :confused:

I have the Samsung Galaxy S Epic
[Android Apps and Games] zman519:
Yes it would help if you posted the files specs. Program used to encode and that stuff. i will try & recreate the problem by trying to make a file with the same specs.
[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
winamp allows running something over the pattern lockscreen?
[Android Apps and Games] iamsupreme:
Sorry for being so rude with my reply earlier. Had a long day yesterday and unfortunately let it spill over into the message boards. My apologies.
[Android Apps and Games] eniamg02:
No worries :) long days...its understandable.
[Android Apps and Games] MaxMP:
Feel free to send example of such failing file to poweramp.maxmpz gmail.com - I'll check it/fix it.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Bizdady:
5 bucks! Whoa! A bit steep for me since I only listen to saved music once in a while. Oh well back to Pandora. Kinda lame we get locked out after spreading the word to everyone out there.
[Android Apps and Games] iamsupreme:
It's kind of hard for him to issue independent software licenses to individuals based on their XDA alias, much less determine who spread the word moreso than others. Describe why it's a bit steep and tell me how much you think he should charge. Is .50 cents a more ideal price in your mind? I drink a Starbucks every morning when I arrive at work. At $4 a drink, I'd say a $5 app that I use daily has a heckuva lot more value.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Locked out? I agree to an extent, I think $5 is somewhat high, but I don't know what's gone into development, and I don't know how this compares feature and price-wise against other players. What if he removed the EQ, would you pay $2 for it?

Personally I think it's a great player. I'm curious what the trial means, if it won't play at all, or if it nags a bit.. I just purchased a few other programs a few days ago so I haven't purchased this one yet, but I suspect I will. The EQ makes it worth it, and it works really well.

I wish the UI wasn't quite so dramatic, although it is pretty sharp.. Just some of the buttons are a little small.. I'm still a little unpleased with the way playlists are segmented, but I think he's working on a in-app library which I assume would merge the two separate playlist functions into one. And a sleep timer would be pretty cool, although not that necessary.

One other thing that's sort of a non issue but also a source of confusion for me... if you DON'T tune the EQ and compare, PowerAmp sounds quieter and a flat against MusicMod and bTunes. I got curious one day and compared them all, and PowerAmp without the EQ = blah. Not that I think he should tweak the EQ by default, but something needs some kind of tweaking.. Of course all is forgiven with the EQ, Tone, and Preamp, but for users who don't touch it or don't know how to adjust an EQ, PowerAmp sounds really low key, kind of like news radio stations compared to a rock station..
[Android Apps and Games] gigermunit:
just bought it, no regrets.
[Android Apps and Games] zman519:
Yep. I have not used it in a wile so saying i wanted PowerAMP to be like (using PowerAMP to much :D ) winamp was a little wrong. What i would like is a music player to be able to be over the lock screen the hole player (if you set it in the settings)

Maybe that's more something that the OS or the lock screen program its-self should be handling? Does any one else want/need a music app to run on top of the lock screen so that others can browses the liberty/file folders and play new songs?

I know that i could just turn off the LS on my phone but i kinda like it.

P.S. $5 may be high, but when you think about it its just because your/I am used to getting & using free software.
[Android Apps and Games] Adevem:
i can't decide whether to use the stock galaxy s player, or poweramp.

damn it.
[Android Apps and Games] m2thedeep:
MaxMP, this really is a great app and I'm glad to see that each update brings a lot of new features and bug fixes. However, one big feature I think you should add is the ability to start songs over by pressing the back button or swiping to the left. On every other audio player pressing back starts the song over and pressing back twice goes to the previous song.
[Android Apps and Games] Gooofy:
Do you have any plans to have a limited time offer like most new apps as a way to reward your beta testers?
[Android Apps and Games] julipsydreams:
hey i was just gunna ask, since this new poweramp build is out that i HAVE to now pay for, has anyone updated that version from several pages ago, the one with the transparent widget with the white font?

that makes or breaks it for me, i hate widgets i cant make transparent.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Nice try, but the market version you can make the widgets transparent. Besides, the older versions expire.
[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
Let's hope not....or we'll start seeing tons of cheapskates crawling out of the woodworks trying to claim credit for being a tester.

Just pay like everyone else, it's only $5.
[Android Apps and Games] gosa:
- Word!

Funny thing is that when some people see $5 as an obstacle I see these cheep apps as the mother of all evils...

Not because it's expensive, but because I find myself buying so many apps just because "That one seems cool, and it's also only ... " that my credit card statements are screaming for mercy every time I open 'em...

Buying an app is way to cheap, and way to easy...

:D
[Android Apps and Games] snake_boss:
Why PowerAMP is always working? Even if I kill it in "apps working", after a while it goes on again, and of course i'm not using it in that moment. So is the question why? It drains a lot of memory with him and of course battery too. I'm using a Tattoo, so i think it's normal I think that 'cause Tattoo doesn't have lots of memory to spend whatever I want.
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
Just because it's loaded in memory doesn't mean it's working or using any CPU or any battery up at all.

If Android needs more memory, it'll free some up however it sees fit.

It's draining more battery by you stopping it and then it starting up again than if you'd just let it remain in memory.

Google Android memory management and you'll find lots of good reading.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Battery, nonsense.. But it is using memory, and this kind of bugs me too. It's set up as a service, and this is why it runs all of the time and re-runs if you kill it. I've tried disabling the headset plug functionality to see if that mattered, as I recall one music player that ran as a service it was to handle headset plug/unplug. Didn't make a difference, still runs as a service.

Yep. Agreed. But I too don't see the point of it running 24/7 if there's no reason.
