  1. I'm currently on the latest version (build 939) and I'm using a Fairphone 4 with Lineage OS based on Android 11 but I've experienced this before on previous versions and different phones. I have been suspecting that this was happening but it was rare and I never paid enough attention to it before. Today I used the queue feature to listen to a few songs while preserving my current playlist location. After the queued songs were done the app returned to the current playlist. However, there were two things wrong. First, it put me at song 15/1665. I can't say for sure where I previously was but it was definitely a lot further along. Second, the first 102 songs were all from AC/DC, Aerosmith, and Airbourne, the first three artists in the playlist alphabetically. They make up a total of 127 out of the 1665 songs or ~7.6% of the playlist (the video I attached starts with the song that first played after the queue but I went back and the songs before that also all were from the three bands). I can 100% guarantee that this is not how the playlist was before. I definitely did not listen to 15 songs from the same three bands after starting it and the chance of randomly generating a playlist with 102 songs from the same three bands over and over again is staggeringly small. This isn't a big problem, it just means that I have to start the playlist over again. It also does not happen every time and it's probably a pretty obscure edge case but since it is a bug I thought I'd report it. I'm not sure if the logs go back far enough to still be useful since it took me a while to notice it, should I still send them? recording_20220913_164505.mp4
  2. Okay, good to know. I did expect something like this. I don't really want to change my naming convention, so I guess I'll just have to delete the song every time I import new ones. On a related note: it would be really helpful if you could filter for songs that appear in a playlist but couldn't be physically found (I did have some of them, too, because something changed a bunch of ' to ` and "..." to a single character). Searching for those manually gets really tedious in larger playlists
  3. It's weird, I did "Remove duplicates" on the .m3u playlists more than once and some were removed but they still had more entries than the ones I created by copying them. I just did a text comparison and removed the duplicate entries and now the amount of songs is correct. However, there is something even weirder: I have the song "Battering Ram" from Saxons album "Battering Ram" in the playlist. If I check the original .m3u it clearly says "\Music\Saxon\Battering Ram\Battering Ram.mp3". That's the correct path for the correct song on my phone, too. I also have the song "Battering Ram" from Iron Saviors album "Battering Ram" and in the .m3u it says "\Music\Iron Savior\Battering Ram\Battering Ram.mp3" (again that's the correct path for the right song on my phone, too). I have two playlists. One contains both "Battering Ram" songs, one only the song by Saxon. However, when I import the .m3u files in Poweramp both playlists only have "Battering Ram" by Iron Savior. The one which contains both songs has the Iron Savoir song twice which explains one of the duplicates. So this is the .m3u: [...] ...\Music\Iron Savior\Battering Ram\Battering Ram.mp3 [...] ...\Music\Saxon\Battering Ram\Battering Ram.mp3 and this is what Poweramp imports: [...] ...\Music\Iron Savior\Battering Ram\Battering Ram.mp3 [...] ...\Music\Iron Savior\Battering Ram\Battering Ram.mp3 I already checked and played the song located under Saxon\Battering Ram on my phone and it's the one by Saxon. When I play it in the imported playlist both are the one by Iron Savior. In both cases the wrong song is sorted in the correct place so the playlist looks like this (sorted by artist/year in foobar): ...\Music\Saxon\Sacrifice\Crusader.mp3 ...\Music\Saxon\Sacrifice\Forever Free [Rerecorded].mp3 ...\Music\Iron Savior\Battering Ram\Battering Ram.mp3 ...\Music\Saxon\Battering Ram\Stand Your Ground.mp3 ...\Music\Saxon\Battering Ram\Top Of The World.mp3
  4. I have a .m3u playlist with 1632 songs. When I import it and copy it to a Poweramp playlist (to get rid of the .m3u in the playlist name) there are only 1629 songs in the Poweramp playlist. Is there any way to see which songs have not been added? I've already scrolled through all of the songs multiple times and every file in the m3u playlist is found by Poweramp. THe only other way to check would be comparing both playlists song for song which I obviously would prefer not to
  5. You know, I should've guessed that there's an option for that. This app really has everything you need. Thanks!
  6. I've been using Poweramp for years (bought it back in 2015) and I just love it. It has everything you could ask for and everything it does works really well. If there was a single thing I could change it would be this: playlists use the album art of the first song in the list so I'd love to be able to select a song from the list and click "move to top" or "use this album art". So far I've been doing that by constantly randomly reordering the list until the song I want is in the top. I know I could move the song to the first line in the .m3u file but I prefer to have them alphabetically sorted to make managing the playlists easier.
