Icon to indicate High-Resolution Content
Cast your Votes for New Poweramp Features

User-customisation of Title and Artist-Album text fields
Cast your Votes for New Poweramp Features
User-defined Title and Artist/Album text fields (customise the two lines of information in lists and Player screen using %tagname% formatting).

There's also a smaller request to make the items in the main fields tappable - so you could for example tap on an Artist's name to be taken to the relevant Library page. [ LINK ]
Technical limitations:
the formatting will apply both to player screen and lists, as it's always the same component which is rendered for track: due to the animation/transition content can't differ much change of the formatting may require partial or full Library rescan -
