andrewilley Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 It is certainly planned for the next major release (v3), which will have a completely revamped audio engine - hence the lengthy release window. I don't know a timeframe I'm afraid, I'm looking forward to a lot of requested things too. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amozz Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Completely ridiculous that this was requested 2 years ago and still is not implemented. At the least, a reply from the project lead with some semblance of a timeframe. Goodbye Poweramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyla Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 nearly 10k views and 2 years later, still no opus support?now this have to be a record if the excellent opus codec is gonna get any traction, developers really need a hard butt kicka opus file with a bitrate of 64k is better than a mp3 file at 192kbps, its closer to aac at 128kbps you can think of opus as next generation vorbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 It's on the list for Poweramp v3 as far as I know, which will have a completely rebuilt audio engine. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Forte Rio Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Hi. This is Steve Forte Rio from HydrogenAudio. We've just finished the public multiformat test @ 96 kbps and Opus won with rank 4.6.As Poweramp is the best Android music player for now, the Opus support is absolutely neccessary for it.

yourlord Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I just installed Poweramp about 2 weeks ago and it's now nagging me to buy it, which I had every intention of doing since it's a great player. My very near future intention is to change my mobile library from OGG Vorbis to Opus. All my music is stored on a FreeBSD ZFS array in FLAC format so format shifting is just a simple transcode away. Before plunking down my hard earned money for this player I decided to make sure my purchase would be at least a little future proof in supporting the highest quality, free, IETF standard codec currently available. Instead of finding a wonderful check mark on a critical feature for this kind of application I have found a 2.5 year old thread with promises, nearly that old, of support to be added "soon". Needless to say my purchase is now indefinitely on hold. If/when Opus support is implemented I'll revisit Poweramp unless I've already spent my money on another app which cared enough to implement support for the best free standardized lossy codec there is in a timely manner.

andrewilley Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 As far as I know, it is intended to be part of the upcoming major v3 update (which includes a complete rebuilt of the whole audio engine) but that update has been delayed for a while now. Keep watching here for news. Sorry if this is not the answer you were looking for, but Poweramp is a one-man project rather than being run by a large company, so unfortunately we all have to accept that things can take a little while around here.

Jimmmy Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Opus is successfully added to current Poweramp dev builds, including opus in .opus and .ogg files, full gapless and replay gain support.Thanks!Ridiculous...almost two and a half years ago.Welp, I'm buying GoneMad for a dollar with my Google Opinion Rewards. I'll probably come back when 3.0 is released, I just want to move my phone's library to Opus.Also, please support downmixing multichannel tracks, GoneMad does. Right now Poweramp just glitches when I try to play an 88.2KHz 24bit 6 channel FLAC file. No audio, the seekbar shows it playing much faster than real time, and it can't be paused in app nor paused or stopped from the notification.For fun, a comparison of 5.1 uncompressed 16.5MB to 5.1 Opus 512Kbps 1.7MB https://googledrive.com/host/0Bw-IN9ioFaCcQTNILTZFOUNvQm8/5.1-Unc-vs-Opus.htmlWorks in Chrome, doesn't in IE or Firefox yet.Edit: I had 20.4GBs of music that I wanted on my phone, I converted it to Opus and now it's 3.91GBs. Lossless surround music converted to 512Kbps, lossless stereo to 320Kbps, and lossy to 128Kbps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yourlord Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I finally gave up and just bought Gonemad. While I would have preferred to support Poweramp, the lack of Opus support this long after it was ratified as a standard is unacceptable. This many years worth of empty promises just doesn't inspire me to invest in a product. Gonemad so far has been rock solid, and it supports everything I've thrown at it without issue. I've transcoded my library to Opus at 96kbps. OGG Vorbis was already quite fine at 96kbps but with the improvement in quality Opus provides it has glossed over virtually all the few rough spots Vorbis had at that bitrate.

unknownln Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 What ever happened to this? Three years later and I still can't play .opus files or .ogg files using the opus codec, at least not with the latest version on the Play store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 It's my understanding that v3 of Poweramp will feature a brand new audio engine, so hopefully this will provide more codec support. But as to when that might be available, I'm afraid I've given up posting my guesses. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeutonJon78 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 It seems best at this point to move onto a different music player that does support it, I know I have. Poweramp is only my backup player now. The rewrite has been pending for YEARS now, and it's supposed to be in two different phases. It will be a very pleasant surprise if it shows up, but hoping that it does at this point doesn't seem worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Try the new alpha test http://forum.powerampapp.com/index.php?/topic/8494-poweramp-alpha-build-700/ and see if that does what you need (but keep a backup of your current system, this is an ALPHA development test, not even beta test yet).
