    A-B repeat feature

    in Poweramp Feature Requests

    Posted

    Thanks Andre and Fitzian.

    I don't think the voting system would work to properly reflect the support for A-B Repeat. I estimate that many of the users who posted support for this feature on the forum are either seldom visitors to the forum or probably don't use or have knowledge for the Voting system.

     

    A-B Repeat is certainly not a feature that requires significant change to the UX/UI or any major change to some audio engine.

     

    The existing Bookmarks feature already marks a point A for songs, so it would be as straightforward as a developer just 're-using' this same code.

     

    It could even be added as an Experimental feature that has to be enabled in the Settings.

     

    My favourite feature packed audio player on Android and it can't even do A-B Repeat whilst the developer chooses to hilariously laugh at my request from 13 years ago. VLC, Neutron Player and other Android players have A-B Repeat cycle.

     

    C'mon man

    Feature request - bookmarking.. reappear repeating A to B

    in Poweramp Feature Requests

    Max, said on this thread 2 years ago (in 2021) that he would raise priority.

    The Bookmarks feature is already there which marks a Point A, therefore A-B support should be very straightforward to code up since all it would be doing is allowing the user to mark a Point B.

    Neutron player (copycat of Poweramp) and video player apps such as MX Player and VLC all have A-B Repeat from years ago.

     

    Another important feature request attachment to A-B Repeat would be the ability to save each A-B selection, save it to either Bookmarks or custom playlist.

     

    Perhaps each A-B saved could have it's custom EQ and custom Tempo saved along with it. This would be ideal.

     

    As Andre said above with The Carpenters example, songs with lengthy 'creative' intros before the actual song starts OR music that are part of long 2+ hour radio mixes are just some of the justifications for A-B repeat feature.

     

    It could even be added right now, today, as an experimental feature.

     

    I think Max has secret hatred of A-B?? I hope not.

    Pitch Shifter please!

    Yes, it will be implemented at some point relatively soon, with separate controls for such things as Speed and Pitch.

    Andre

    Unfortunately "soon" could take 13 years lol. 

    Why can't Max recruit a secondary support developer who would primarily focus on the backlog of feature requests. Then Max could handle all the bug fixes, compatibility etc

    Hello andrewilley, 

    A-B Repeat must also support a 'saving' function either save to Bookmarks or save to a custom playlist. If you can edit that as enclosed brackets to your above post. 

    It's worth to note, the existing 'Add to Bookmark' feature already is the same as A-B function in that it marks a point A except with not marking a point B

    I do wonder if this oft-requested feature (especially by @haddy :)) might be held up in Max's longer-term plans to make the row of icons under the artwork area customisable?

    While A-B could work within the existing Repeat icon selection, it would need to be only available as a long-press option. You wouldn't want to cycle away from your normal listening mode each time you want to listen to something in A-B Repeat and then multi-tap back to normal afterwards.

    Andre

    Agreed and well reasoned.

    If implemented as a long-press option it would still be sad to loose that precise A to B loop that has been made.

    Hence why I firmly believe that there should be the additional option to save the A-B selection to BOOKMARKS.

    I've been badgering MaxMP for this feature for nearly 13 years lol

    There have been advances in Poweramp with Lyrics but still no basic implementation of an A-B repeat.

    I (and I'm sure many users too) would also like the ability to 'save' an A-B repeat selections to a playlist such as 'Bookmarks'

    Please MaxMP the crowd has spoken! I know MaxMp personally doesn't like this feature himself but few other players (namely Neutron Player has it). I am a lifetime Poweramp user devotee.

     

    In a private conversation MaxMP did confirm that it is in the TODO list but he's never commented about it on the forum. I don't know why he hates the function so much.

    The internal Android programming code for such an A-B Repeat feature would be close enough to the existing the implementation of Poweramp's Bookmark function.

    Unfortunately MaxMP has not been kind enough to acknowledge the whole A-B Repeat issue via a response.

    Such a simple feature should not take 10+ years.

     

    It could even be implemented as a 'sleeper' feature that has to first be enabled in the settings. Support for saving the A-B repeat selection to a Bookmarks or other playlist is needed too.

    @haddy your patience and persistence is admirable. I really hope your requested A-B repeat feature will be implemented someday. In the meantime you can try NYX music player https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.awedea.nyx

    It has a nice user interface albeit a bit buggy but has got a decent A-B repeat feature. 

    Note. I ain't promoting NYX music player. I have just used it in the past.

    Thanks

     

     

     

     

    Thanks James, however this is about Poweramp getting this feature. Poweramp is my favourite cross-device app on Android for offline music playing.

    Poweramp is already half way there with an A-B function due to the 'Bookmarks' feature. Poweramp's existing 'Bookmarks' feature already has the capability of marking point A of any track.

     

    So all the developer would be doing is copying and pasting the Bookmarks function in code then implementing a 'mark as point B' along with using the existing 'repeat 1 track' feature so that A-B plays in a loop. Plus of course some UX buttons for this.

     

    All A-B could then give the user the option to either save into the Bookmarks playlist or to save into any custom Playlist.

     

    @maxmp This is so straightforward. Max could you care to comment your thoughts/direction on this thread?

    Yes please 🙏 consider Andre's comprehensive icons.

    Wow 12 years for a feature request and still no comment from Max MP. Why does Maxim seem to hate this feature and view it as superfluous?

     

    Please, please, please A-B Repeat function with support for saving/backup of A-B by likely integrating with Bookmarks.

    It's even referenced in the Lyric thread:

    For some reason Max MP does not want to reply to this topic.

    Max (developer), it has been 11 years since this request topic was first opened and since then other similar Android music players such as Neutron have added this nifty feature.

     

    Please implement it for us even as a beta.

     

    Please also incorporate its support into Bookmarks or PlayStation so that there's a way to store the A-B selection.

    Neutron player's pre-amp is more louder than Poweramp's

    The actual number should be irrelevant. The fact is Poweramp has control of the device volume. With DVC that even bypasses any additional processing. Other apps may “sound louder” due to other colourization or enhancements they are adding, or in some cases they may even overdrive the input to the DAC. This isn’t the design intention of Poweramp. Simply listen at whatever level you are comfortable with. If your particular device is not powerful enough to drive your headphones, a separate headphone amp is likely the better option. 

    I am now starting to think that Neutron is over driving the DAC on i's pre-amp EQ settings as there is some distortion at the higher volume. However, I LOVE the punchy loudness on Neutron which I wish I could achieve with Poweramp.

    I will try playing with Poweramp's ReplayGain and DVC and will report back to this topic.

    Neutron player's pre-amp is more louder than Poweramp's

    Hi,

     

    I'd like to know why you/anyone thinks that Neutron player's pre-amp gives a much louder volume than Poweramp's?

     

    This loudness is exactly what I want.

     

    Is there a technical or OS reason?

     

    Could it be that Poweramp is missing something vital in it's pre-amp EQ implementation. 

     

    For this topic's scenario, I'm running Poweramp on a secondary device (Samsung Galaxy S7 with LineageOS 18 - Android 11).

     

    Please help or speculate

    Hi Max MP and everyone.

    Unfortunately Neutron's version of AB doesn't allow a user to seek with the seek bar while the "A" point is selected. Seeking support is required so that a user doesn't have to endure any long playback just to have the finger ready to tap on the "B" point. This is something that should get allowed in Poweramp's 'eventual' implementation of the feature.

     

    Also, adding to Bookmarks support pls 😀
