26 minutes ago, सम्यक् बरड़िया said:they really should make the rating imbeded with the music file.
The POPM ID3 tag does support storage of both a rating and the playback count, see http://id3.org/id3v2.3.0#Popularimeter . The spec also suggests saving the email address of the person creating the rating, thus allowing multiple tags for different users in the same file which always struck me as a bit overkill and a potential privacy issue with shared files.
This tag is neither read nor written by Poweramp at present though, as Max had concerns that not all file formats support it, and writing to audio files automatically 'on the fly' could be potentially dangerous and also cause playback glitching should the whole file need re-writing.
There is a great third-party app called New Playlist Manager by the way. It can read tag ratings from files into Poweramp, and also write Poweramp's ratings database back into the individual files. See https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flyingdutchman.newplaylistmanager

OP is asking for category changes (next/previous album for example) to be available by swiping up or down with your finger on the album art area, in the same way that you can currently go to next/previous track by swiping left or right. It used to be a standard feature in v2, but never made it into the v3 interface for some reason.

Presumably it is starting when Bluetooth connects? Does it start playing, or just opens the app screen? Take a look in Settings > Headset/Bluetooth for starters anyway.

You have tried removing the SD Card and re-inserting it I assume? There have been a few reports of this sort of issue with Android Q (10) beta versions due to changes Google have made to file access methods, but not with Android 9 as far as I'm aware.

PA for some reason cannot see your SD Card and thinks it has been unmounted. Does it work for other apps? Has your Android version updated recently?

When viewing the Recently Added songs list, tap the three-dots menu icon and in List Options you can choose how the list should be sorted (including by filesystem date, or date added to library).

Yes, if you have excessively large images (over 1000x1000, I seem to recall?) then I'm pretty sure PA will scale them down to reduce memory consumption. Mine are mostly 500x500, although a few are a bit larger.

Just enter your friend's email address as the account, and make sure they use the same account details on their phone. They will get the confirmation email, so let them know to expect it.

Normally Albums appear first in the search results. I wonder if you've got them disabled in the Search List Options ? Tap the three-dots icon in the search screen and use List Options to choose what type of results you'd like to see, and in what layout.

Device? Android version? PA version?

As I said, that's by design. There is a background process to allow audio playback while you are doing other things with your device. It does not need the main player interface to be loaded in order for it to continue. Just press the pause button, much easier than messing around with swiping things away from the recent tasks list.

What skins are you trying to use? As long as you are using v3 skins with the v3 app (or v2 skins with the v2 app) then I've not come across any major issues. You obviously can't use old v2 skins with v3 of the app though, as the interface layout, icons, controls, textual content, etc were all completely updated for modern devices - that would be a bit like expecting an old VHS tape to fit into your new DVD player.
Certain Huawei ROMs had problems with loading some specific v3 skins a while back (thread) but I think that has been resolved now, could that be your issue? You don't give much info to go on...

5 hours ago, gav2403 said:Run PA at meyzu pro7 plus (Flyme 7.1.0.0g.) After closing PA playback doesn't stop. Any ideas what can be done to fix this?
Press the play/pause button in the app or the Status Bar Notification. If you just exit from the user interface by pressing Back or Home, playback is meant to continue in the meantime while you do other stuff (there is a service which runs in the background to ensure this).

Very odd, must be something strange with the way your sync software is writing the file back so PA is seeing it as a new item. Does a FULL Rescan (bottom of Settings > Library) make any difference?

How large are the images in question? PA caches artwork up to a maximum size (it would eat too much memory to cache huge images for every song).

The above are now added to the Knowledgebase FAQs list.

I think notifications, rings, etc still occur, they are just silent. You would need to disable the ability for calls to be received at all, I guess putting the phone into Flight Mode would do that.
Andre

No idea, try removing it for a bit and see if your problem goes away.

I think this is going round in circles, and it was a five month old question anyway. I'm going close to close comments now, before this turns into a flame war over whether to reverb or not. As I said, quite honestly it's down to personal choice.
Andre

This is not something Poweramp can do. I don't know for sure, but rather doubt any apps on the Play Store would be allowed to do this for security/privacy reasons - but perhaps some root apps might?
Andre

As I keep saying, it's personal choice how (or if) you set your reverb settings, everyone has their own opinions varying between wanting to hear the music as the band and studio engineers intended it, to making it sound like you are listening to music in an echoey cathedral or stadium. Your earlier post and link were helpful in outlining what reverb does to your music, and thank you for sharing it.

Adding from Search is different, that adds anything to the queue in title order.
However if you first tap on the Album title in the search list you will see all of the songs displayed in your chosen Album sorting order. Long-press and select them all (just tap the 'All' button) then use the ">>> Queue" button to add them to the queue in the displayed order.

I use TagScanner on my PC, but there are other good batch tag editors around too - MP3Tag is another one often mentioned.

Restore the Settings > Audio > Output options to default. There is also an option in Settings > Advanced Tweaks to mute the internal speaker, which can come in handy with some high-res output modes.
