The problem is that there are hundreds of minor feature requests, and only one developer. I don't think crossfade has been revisited much since it was first introduced to the app in fact. There are some feature requests that date back even longer though. A-B Repeat is close to its 14th birthday by now - although hopefully that might be considered as part of the Player Screen interface customisation options? Andre

While it is technically possible for LRC data to by synced down to the individual word, it's pretty rare outside of karaoke content. Timecode data is normally supplied for the whole line only. The current line is highlighted as brighter/larger text in Poweramp. If your LRC data does contain individual word info, it will not be processed by Poweramp as it is not intended to be a karaoke machine. Here's a theoretical example from the LRC wiki, which is pretty close to being an unofficial spec. The timecodes shown in <> brackets will be ignored, so for example at 00:06.47 the simple text "And all the joy within you dies " would be highlit.

Is not a feature of the core app, but the lyric text colour is skinable, which some skins support (e.g. I know YAPS can do it). Andre

Max was indicating that this sort of change would most likely be made the next time he's working in that area of the app's code, not as a special specific job. How soon that might be is a rather flexible term though, other work may take priority and push into many months or possibly years. Andre

Most Android devices cannot properly handle NTFS drives. Some can read them, but very few can write. Stick with exFat, it's plenty fast enough. It's possible your drive's file system had become damaged and reformat has resolved that, but it's unusual for such issues to result in poor sound quality - files either play or they don't (or possibly they skip badly). Andre

It does sound like this is an issue with HyperOS. Perhaps their latest update is not supporting the DUMP permission? I assume you've all tried uninstalling the PA EQ app and reinstalling it, and then running the ADB DUMP process again? It is a slightly hacky workaround to be fair, the real answer is that apps should announce the fact that they are playing audio and that other apps are permitted to access it for making adjustments. Very few app developers seem to add those simple two lines of code into their players though (in Poweramp it's user-configurable, controlled via the 'MusicFX' button), hence the DUMP permission hack which tells Android it can override what the audio player app is saying (or not saying). Andre

First, Poweramp processes all audio in stereo PCM (32/64 bit). It does not pass any formats through natively, they need to be converted to PCM first. So no native DSD I'm afraid. And as for above 768kHz? That would make a great app for annoying bats I guess, but I'm not sure how much mainstream traction such a feature would attract. As far as I know, 384kHz is the highest you'll get. Andre

Has it occurred to you that if you keep asking the same question, you'll most likely get the same answer? Android apps are meant to identify in their code whether they want their audio output to be able to be managed by external apps, and if they don't then the content is not meant to be processed. Using the DUMP permission (which is something of a hack) expands on that number, but there will still be apps which don't even identify themselves as playing audio at all, which the PS-EQ won't touch.If an app can be equalized though, just select it from the Known Players list and it should work fine. Andre

Have you had any success with either turning DVC mode on, or choosing a different Output method - e.g. instead of using OpenSL ES, try AAudio, AudioTrack, or HiRes. What exactly is the problem with the sound, beyond being "really off"? Is it possibly volume related rather than actually quality of audio? Andre

That's already a feature. When you use Save/Assign to store an EQ Preset, there are a number of tickboxes that you can select to so it can be automatically applied in specific situations - for example for specific folders, albums, genres, even individual songs, or particular Output devices. To save for the current Bluetooth device, tick only the name of the device in the list. Don't also tick the overall Bluetooth option, as that will apply it to all BT devices. Andre

That's perhaps more of an issue of higher resolutions and larger buffer sizes to be honest. Not that latency really matters much for pure audio playback. After an Android update, it might be worth setting the Outputs menu back to defaults and seeing if that helps, but sometimes it's just changes in the ROM that cause the issues. Andre

Unfortunately, the point of a Grid view is that it's largely based on images in a grid, rather than being a more text oriented list layout. Horses for courses I guess. Andre

Correct, Grid View does not show the metadata line at all, which is where several bits of background info are contained. Andre

Just go into the main EQ adjustment screen and tap the Preset button (middle button) and choose either Graphic or Parametric default, or pick one of the supplied Presets as a starting point. The overlapping icon on the Settings page looks like a skin or font error, there should be an icon next to Graphic, and another by Parametric, just below. Andre

If you can get someone else to do the porting work, that would make sense to me. Not sure whether its design ethos fits too well with the Apple way of doing things though. But otherwise, I would say only once the Frequently Requested Features list has been addressed would it be time to think of new platforms. Andre

POPM is a bizarre tag anyway. It consists of a text string to identify the user (meant to be an email address, but it often isn't) then a null-byte separator, then a one-byte number to indicate the chosen rating on a scale of 1 to 255. Generally apps convert this byte to a more user-recognisable 1-5 figure - so a byte value of 64 often represents '2' in the 1-5 scale, or 196 would be a rating of '4'. The reason for the string is because ratings are meant to be personal to you, and you wouldn't want to see someone else's rating. Thus there can actually be more than one POPM tag in a file for different people's ratings. Mostly this is not filled with a username/email though, and often you'll find the writing application's details are in there instead - e.g. Windows tends to use "Windows Media Player 9 Series". Oh, and just to confuse things further, after the rating byte there is an optional play count figure for the song - which would also be user-specific of course. Rarely used. And all of the above assumes that all apps follow the spec rather than inventing their own variants. Andre

@koukei I don't know much about third-party wifi adb tools (cabled is more reliable) but it looks like you mistyped the adb command anyway, it should be: adb shell pm grant com.maxmpz.equalizer android.permission.DUMP Andre

Last update of Android, or Poweramp? What device? Rather than using the experimental High-Res Output mode, try something like AAudio or AudioTrack which on recent Android versions support high-res settings. Andre

ID3v2 is simply the format of tags that is used in MP3 files. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3 Older versions did not support ratings. POPM is the name of the tag that contains ratings within an ID3v2.3 tag block. http://www.unixgods.org/Ruby/ID3/docs/id3v2.4.0-frames.html#POPM Andre

No, that is not a streaming radio station, it's a commercial video sharing website. Sure, try pasting this link into the 'Add URL' box in the Streaming menu: http://edge-bauerall-01-gos2.sharp-stream.com/net2national.mp3?aw_0_1st.skey=1691534114 Andre

Just tap 'Add URL' from that menu, and paste in the HTTP address of a streaming radio station (not the radio company's website, the actual shortcast-style stream itself). Self)

That's how I understood this feature too, but I agree it does not seem to behave as expected. Andre

@maxasos Which fade option? Crossfade lengths of greater than 15 seconds, or crossfading back into the same track when you go back to its beginning? There is a votable Feature Request for this anyway: Andre

@Loweaul Ah, OK, in which case yes I agree that the remaining selection list can become centred rather than being tethered closer to the bottom of the screen. Might be something to do with the keyboard popping up previously? Has no functional implication that I can see though, as the background elements are not accessible either way. For some reason it doesn't seem to happen all the time though - I can't get it to occur now for example. And some popup menus present themselves mid-screen anyway. e.g. the long-press popup shown on the Player Screen is text-oriented and in the middle of the screen, whereas the popup triggered by long-pressing in a list is a smaller icon-based format at the bottom (to allow you to still access and scroll the background list). If the background is not going to still be accessible, I think I prefer a centred approach, as tall as necessary/possible to avoid needless scrolling. Andre
