andrewilley Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Could be mis-tagged or VBR files maybe? Try doing a Full Rescan to remove the dups and reset your list. Also check Poweramp Settings > Folders and Library > Music Folders and ensure that only the folders which you want to scan are ticked.

Alex787 Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Hello Andre Thank you very much for your reply . I am not much of a tech expert or the terminology . Would you please tell me what is a mis-tagged or VBR files ? also in the Power Amp settings > Music Folders how do I choose the items -music that is on on my micro memory card ? There are a lot of items -that I can pick -check-ticked on the folder setting scan section that I do not understand. I just want to upload the music that is on my micro card ? That is it only the items on my sd memory card , Thanks again I really appreciate you taking the time to help me . Alex P.S I done several re scans and nothing is there a place I can get more detailed info -instructions about how to properly set Power Amp ?

Alex787 Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Hello Andre your right just looked up VBR files , this seems to be part of the problem on the original audio tag it shows the kbps is 128 , however when I install on power amp the kbps goes down to 32 KBPS , ? is there a way to fix this ? Thank again Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 In the Music Folders list, start by unticking everything at the very top level of your device and SD Card - there's a lot you won't want scanned, so it's easier to only select the folders you DO want. Then tick just the folder (or folders) which contain your music files (sub-folders will automatically be selected along with the top level folder). It might be an idea to do a Full Rescan afterwards, just to make sure everything is tidy. I don't know of a utility to fix bitrate tags within MP3 files off the top of my head - lots to edit the visible user-defined tags like title, artist, cover art, etc, but not to fix lower level stuff - but Google might throw something up for you.

Alex787 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hello Andre, I was able to fix the problem, I follow your instructions and was able to resolve thE issue. It was the tags - I edited the info and adjusted the Kbps speed on my media go software. Thank you very much for taking the time to explain to me in details. There are still good people out there and you my friend are on top of the list!Thank you very much and Happy Holidays! Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Excellent, glad you're sorted now. This sort of issue rarely occurs with constant bitrate (CBR) files, it's usually the variable rate (VBR) ones that have timing issues if the tags are quite as Poweramp is expecting them.
