@andrewilley When I had tried to save my own eq in parametric settings, it saved nicely and then it broke for a few days and now it seems to be working again. So, all good for now.

@andrewilley Yes, it happens in Portrait layout as well. And yes again for the default dark skin, why experiment when the default is so freaking great.

Hello, I am trying to save some changes to Parametric EQ and I am getting some sort of an error. I have shared a video in which the error has been produced for your convenience. Here is the link to the folder in which the video is present: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19PQNLV7dnNNvHUTyJwcKXZRNdM3g3VGs?usp=sharing Other Relevant Info: Poweramp build number - build-939-bundle-play your device model - Samsung Galaxy S20+ (Exynos Variant) your Android version - 12 steps to reproduce - Just make some change to the existing Parametric EQ and try to save it. Regards

@andrewilleyOh, I did not think of that. That makes total sense. Yes, that would be nice if Max sir implements it if possible. By the way, please tell me how to close this topic that I have started. Regards

@andrewilley That is nifty little thing I learned. I suppose this would help me a lot since I don't want android to be scanning my music library anyway. This will also stop all the galleries from showing album arts which will be really neat. Thank you very much for the tip. You did an awesome job in explaining how PA works while it is scanning for files, however, I never said that PA is not able to recognize files. I said, if I change something in my main library, say a file had a name: "I am in lvoe" and it is added to playlist "Love songs", and I changed the file name to "I am in love" in my main library. PA does a great job to match all the files, in this case, PA will tell that there is no match for the filename "I am in lvoe" which was in the playlist "Love Songs" but in PA V2, those entries in a playlist which were not matched to an actual file used to vanish on their own and that was neat because those were "NOW" wrong entries anyway since the files have been either changed or deleted altogether. The entries in the playlist used to just vanish as if it never existed but these days, those entries remain there for you to clean up and those entries don't get cleaned up even if I do "playlist resolve". Is there something I am doing wrong ? Like I said, it is not much of a big deal. With the new range selector feature in the PA, I can very easily sort a playlist first to get all the invalid entries in a playlist at the top and then delete it in a jiffy. So, not a big deal but since it already used to be a feature, why change it at all?

@Bencherished Did it, not changing anything! The scan time was quicker though which is understandable.

Well, the first thing Poweramp asks for when it is running for the first time on S20+ is to ask for that permission. Just FYI. Are you saying that I can put a .nomedia file in the "Poweramp Waves" folder? If I do that, won't Poweramp also not read the music files? This makes sense but then why does "Resolve Playlist" not work at all even when all the scanning is done? It has not worked for me since Android P if I remember correctly. No matter how many resolve playlists I do, If I have altered or deleted some file from the main library, I always have to do a manual cleaning of the playlists myself and by the way, it worked amazingly well in V2 of Poweramp but don't ask me to go back to that version. I can do the manual cleaning. That is not much of a hassle since we now have range-selector feature that I requested.

@andrewilley That is all good to know but a music player ought to play music first and foremost and then comply with the rules! I know about the legacy mode and it is also very iffy at best. Let me just show you why I am really confused. Just did a hard reset of the whole system for the 10th time today (not kidding), and here is the first app I installed. This is Poweramp asking for music folders at the start. Once you do select the folders with music in the card, the app asks for permission to those folders only. I get it. This is all apparent and fair on your part. Now, once the scan is done, the app states the final tally of the no. of songs. Here is the image for that: The total no of songs: 12,057. That tells me, it counted every song on the card. Okay, all good. Now, look at this: This says, Poweramp just has access to "Nearby devices", and NOT "files and media" permission which every other music player I try from play store asks for when I open those apps. What am I missing here. I would not be bothered about this detail if Poweramp behaved like a stable music player which it does not. Want some evidence? Here is a playlist file from Poweramp which it spit out the last time I asked for a Poweramp export playlist. Bolly Music.m3u8 If you open the Bolly Music.m3u8 file, Poweramp generated, you would know why this is making me so crazy. The playlist contains around 6000 songs but the file Poweramp generated did not list the path of half of the files, just the names and the rest of the files were outputted with the file path as they were all supposed to be. Now, if you say that the files must not be on the SD card, I can tell you with absolute certainty that they are. This is causing me a lot of pain as I have really given a lot of time to make those playlists. Poweramp starts scanning for file changes every-time I open the app even though there is no apparent change on the external card, and usually it takes 15-20 secs for the scan to finish. So, it should not be a big deal and it is not until all of a sudden, the scanning just would not stop even if you run it for an hour. I have changed the SD card just to make sure the card is not the issue. The scanning would keep going with numbers showing like 5468/12057 and then 9853/12057 and after some time, all the numbers vanish and I am left with a circle on the right side of the Rescan button. I hope you can make some sense of what I am trying to explain. Legacy mode does not fix this at all. It happens intermittently and at the worst possible times like backing up my playlists! Regard.

Hello, When my device was first updated to Android 12, I had faced something similar but a couple of days ago, my Samsung Galaxy S20+ (Exynos Variant) was updated to one UI 4.1 and since then I am unable to use Poweramp at all. I did a hard reset of my phone and cleared the cache as well but nothing seems to be helping. Also, I would like to know why doesn't Poweramp ask for permission for "All Media Access" when opening for the first time like so many other players do because they seem to be working fine and I have seen only Poweramp trip like this with every system update! I would like to know what I gotta to to listen to some music. All alone in a village, come on, someone save me! I just might die without my music! On a more serious note, and I have pointed this out before when I had got Android 12 for the first time, when I click on App Info for Poweramp, in permissions settings, it only shows- "Nearby devices" in Allowed tab, while "Files and Media" is still in the "Not Allowed" tab. This is happening even after you run Poweramp for the first time and give it access to specific folders both on the internal storage and the external storage. Why, oh why?

This would be a cool feature to have. But for now, I am enjoying what we have got. The range feature we have now is not as refined as you are proposing but it is still better than having nothing at all. It can be used to select songs of the same album in a playlist without the hassle of clicking every song, like before, which was tedious and time consuming. But, what you are suggesting would definitely be amazing to have in Poweramp. I hope we see it in Poweramp in the coming days. Regards.

The range feature seems to do what I needed it for. So, thanks for the quick update. Love it. Regards

@maxmp Wow, you, brother, are amazing. I had been waiting for this for so long but I never made a formal request because I thought it will eventually come. But having this feature will make managing library and playlists so darn easy. Thank you brother for listening and acting so swiftly. #powerampforever #fckwarlistentomusic #nolifewithoutmusic #stopthewar #warismadness

@maxmp I will hold you to your word. Please add this feature if at all possible because some of my playlists were messed up because of Android Pie update. I am trying my best to get it back to the way it was and if we had range selection, we hopefully can manage our library in a more efficient manner. Regards

@andrewilley Anything we can do to make it more urgent? I am not in a hurry but it would be good to know that it will be implemented in the next three, six or nine months. You are the inside man, you can't be any more specific than 'at some point' ?

@andrewilley Yes, I also believe so. So, what are the chances of it being implemented into the app?
