Just happened again: PA Settings > Headset/Bluetooth > Last Processed Commands: empty. My phone had been idle and just sitting on my desk for at least an hour. I got a text and went into "messages" to do some clean up. Next thing I know, PA is serenading me unbidden. Sigh.

Thank you. I have set all the "Pause" and "Resume" to off. Let's see what happens next! I'm going to reinstall Spotify and see if I can replicate these limitations there, too. BTW, as you probably know but for others here, this is a common problem with audio sources. I have the same problem with Spotify, and Audible recorded books.

andrewulley, will do. Please clarify where to find PA Settings. Thank you!

I am having the same issue: Poweramp starts on its own playing the first track in my library - or resuming the last thing I listened to. Samsung Galaxy S20, Android 11. When I "Clear All" it does not always turnoff. I downloaded Poweramp because I had the same issue with Spotify - so I realize that there is something somewhere on my phone that allows these two music players to self-start. These two music players are the only apps that start themselves and are difficult to shut down. Still any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
