Plot twist: v3 will never be released and Max is doing a mad-scientist experiment where he counts how many people keep expecting v3 until the day they die.

It's a no-brainer that this app is abandoned, or incredibly low priority for the dev(s), or being milked around for hype for whatever reason. So what apps are good alternatives? I've seen names like Phonograph, Doubletwist, Playerpro etc Is there a music app like the Foobar for windows a few years ago, where it was open source (I think), and just a core player, but people could create and install hundreds of various add-ons that would give them different features?

I barely even use Poweramp anymore. Why have I been coming to this forum for updates on v3 for the past year?!?!?!?!?! Halp

This may be good news but I'm practically jaded at this point from years of waiting. So here's a joke. Things that will happen before the official Poweramp v3.0 release: - 1000 Marvel movies - Cure for cancer - Mars Colonization - Faster than light space travel - Half life 3

Do you have Poweramp v3 Alpha? Because I've tried the exact settings above with the play store Poweramp version and I'm still missing scrobbles. Seems like a really high percentage too. I even put the apps on whitelist (removing app optimization on my phone)

Bought a new phone, and now I have this same exact problem. I have noticed my Spotify app is able to permanently exist in the notifications bar, no matter if it's on a tablet, another phone, or my main phone. Shouldn't be that hard for Poweramp to do the same. Alas

Any luck tonyb? I got a new phone and am experiencing missing scrobbles. The updated SLS has options like "OnGoing" and "Notification" which I am experimenting with to see if they help scrobbles I think for me the missing scrobbles only occur when I pause a song or there is interruption. Will have to test this out more

Shoot. I knew about universalscrobbler. I should've shared it Thanks for the update/info tonyb! Would you mind sharing what phone and android version you're using?

Ahhhh. I encountered the duplicate scrobbles problem too. I cant remember how I fixed that. Do you have only SLS checked in Poweramp settings, and only Poweramp checked in SLS settings? Now I actually don't know if SLS has been going 95% on my scrobbles too. Damn. That would be a huge bummer

Thanks for sharing this!

I have experienced a lot of bugs with scrobbling on Poweramp, but once I downloaded "Simple Last.fm Scrobbler," and disabled scrobbling from the official Last.fm app, everything was great. My comment on another thread is as follows

From what I remember, Poweramp used to be able to display song comments (as well as edit them). @TheoKlink, so what you're trying to say is I the song comment feature was never removed and instead, it wasn't possible anymore because that's how the Android OS functions?

Agassi Your turn Oh...

Not everyone will get that reference, but basically I'm wondering if Poweramp 3.0's fate is the same as Valve's Half life 3 = tons of rumors, promises, but no ETA, and chances being it will never be released. The most recent news was that Poweramp 3.0 would be released "Sometime during the first quarter of 2015" We're in the 3rd quarter, and still nothing. The absolute worst any person can do to is string someone along on something uncertain. The least Max/devs can do is say there will never be a 3.0. Or even say that it will take 5 years. Being reluctant to give any answers or ETA means there's no motivation or drive to get anything completed by anytime. I'm not demanding the devs owe users 3.0. They have already done a lot for all Poweramp users and we've got our money's worth, but what we don't deserve is being given a false sense of hope.

I had the same problem. after playing around a lot I found a fix. uninstall the default last.fm app. install Simple last.fm scrobbler app. this is the app you'll use to scrobble your stuff. You shouldn't need to do anything else, but if you want, my settings are as follows: On Poweramp: - Scrobble via Simple Last.fm checked - Everything else unchecked On Simple Last.fm Scrobbler: - Scrobble checked - Notify now playing checked (sometimes I had to disable this otherwise it would scrobble a song even though it was paused/stopped) - When to scrobble: after every track * plugged in Options: same as for battery
