  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. Correct, Grid View does not show the metadata line at all, which is where several bits of background info are contained. Andre
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. @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
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. 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)
  12. That's how I understood this feature too, but I agree it does not seem to behave as expected. Andre
  13. @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
  14. @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
