  1. So many Poweramp fans for years have wanted a desktop port. Whether it be Mac or PC Microsoft. I guess good things do come to those who wait! Lol Microsoft fully know that the global computing market has moved to the two dominant smartphone OS's and since Android is open-source this is the right step for them to make in order to secure their brand's survival.
  2. Ok cool and nice that I reminded you. Hmm it would be nice if you Sticky my A-B Repeat topic
  3. This is really needed. Multi select tracks in a playlist and drag them anywhere.
  4. Well summarized Andre I agree ---------------------------------------- I suggest a unified top pinned topic on the whole "Poweramp for iOS" with all new and old posts on this subject matter then merged into pinned topic. Indeed it's a very popular request on this forum. I feel bad for the 'restricted' iOS users, but in the reverse, iOS users must feel bad for us 'fragmented' Android users.
  5. I too tried to manually drag arrange the List order but found the feature isn't possible.
  6. Additionally alongside Playlist support, A-B could also have some involvement with the Bookmarks list option. So saved A-B could also show up in Bookmarks. Just a thought.

  8. There are literally tons examples out there of Album songs that do this. All in the spirits of build up momentum and overall artistic creativity. For my personal listening habits it depends on my mood. If playing Poweramp through a loudspeaker to group of friends at a dinner party then long intros are fine. If I'm doing a personal fitness exercise with headphones then I'm more likely to desire to go straight to the main song, therefor A-B and multiple saved A-B would be great for that. Yes precisely
  9. Yes precisely 😀😄 and all under this same option window. Just a single checkbox in the same Crossfade/Fade/Gapless menu named as "Apply all selected to A-B selections". If checkbox is enabled it would then allow all of your chosen fading, crossfading etc to be applied to the A-B. An experimental feature at first. Yes the Meatloaf example is great one. Additionally "Pale Shelter" (long version) by Tears for Fears, has a long 21 second intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_F7XxC0GqqU - This is also where A-B would be a great use-case scenario. Many 90s Hip Hop tracks have long gratuitous song intros before the main song kicks in. Yes true, people could say "well, why don't you trim the song to your liking in Audacity" or "just source a shortened version of that same song". For this, it's just about on-the-fly time convenience and avoiding fiddly editing on a PC, it's about keeping that same 'long version' audio file on your device while creating an A-B point on the fly for quick listening. I didn't before think of A-B being used in the fashion of an image "crop" tool. Thank you Andre No, no sir. I mean the simple ability to Add to Playlist during playing the A-B. Instead of the full song being added to a chosen playlist, the A-B looped segment only of that song would be added to playlist. This is what I mean by Playlist support. Very doable and would allow a way for users to preserve/save their chosen A-B without having to alter the original audio file.
  10. Yes, 😀 Max has recently given hope that this would be implemented soon by raising his TODO priority here:
  11. A slight cheeky correction there...10 years and 1 month haha 😄 Thanks Max, finally you've acknowledged this request and us users should hopefully get this feature in a nearby release. Please Max keep in mind Playlist support for A-B as explained in page 3 of this topic link: https://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/462-a-b-repeat-feature/page/3/ The reason for Playlist support is for the maximum convenience of preserving a users desired A-B selection. This helps with long podcasts or downloaded mp3 radio mixes / mixtapes. ---------------------------------------- Dare I say that I now also feel that the Cross-fade support (as a Settings option for A-B) would be really nice for A-B too which would help 'smoother' the abrupt endless start and end points of the A-B. It would be as simple as using Poweramp's existing Cross-fade mechanism which I think is excellent. --------------------------- Andre, as a suggestion - once A-B gets implemented perhaps you can merge all posts under a single topic (my topic link above). This ia just a suggestion.
  12. Please Max and Andre. I would happily pay for AB repeat support (incl AB to Playlists). https://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/462-a-b-repeat-feature/ https://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/11352-feature-requests-a-b-repeat/
  13. Going by the topic title, it would suggest to me that a Restriction feature could be added for songs with swear words 🤬. I guess that would rely on both LRC support and online matching. Update: Topic title changed by Mods 👍
  14. Not quite exactly Rather, after selecting AB option from the long-press Repeat selection menu it would then enable the chooser mode so that a user can then choose the starting A point using the button on the Interface with subsequent actions of the same single button. The same Repeat button would transform into the button for the AB modes I created this animation to best depict it in action through each button press. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Then to Cancel the whole AB Repeat mode, user would simply have to long-press the button to bring up the menu list of different standard Repeats. Playlist support: When adding any AB to a Playlist then a Toast notification should appear on the bottom of the screen to let the user know that they've added an AB selection to a playlist and not the original full song/track. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary: Post updated - Removed the "B" state of the AB button order. My depiction mockup now matches Neutron Player's sensible implementation.
  15. True with long files and VBR without the necessary metadata for companion seeking. With the "precision seeking" idea I raised it is about trying to force it with haptic feedback. A few other different Poweramp features attempt to force such as 'Force speaker off' Furthermore for accurate or close to accurate seeking there are Android users out there that may use a stylus with their supported devices, notably Samsung Galaxy Note users as well as Galaxy Tab, Moto G stylus, LG and Huawei Mate 20 users. If they say the pen is mightier than the sword (idiom), then the stylus is mightier than the finger! 🤣🤣 The AB Repeat feature is not just about seeking all the time, since the usage of AB also counts on the user live listening to the song/podcast and selecting a point A and point B during playback. This could be a really familar song/audiobook to the user in where they know by listening memory where they want to mark the points A and B from. Personally I tend to seek to the 'just before' segments of any point A and point B and then mark it, which is how I imagine most AB users handle it.😀
  16. No not split IMO, just merely an expansion of the AB request but appropriately kept within the same topic thread rather than splintered into a new thread. Yes precisely. Although I'm unsure of what you mean by combining it with 'repeat one song' - perhaps you're referring to the background mechanism which makes sense. With any AB added to a playlist you'd still be able to independently Shuffle, Repeat All, Repeat one but NOT allowed to Repeat AB again furthermore to avoid confusion. When adding an AB (or multiple AB of same song or any song) to a Playlist, all you'd be doing is adding a shortcuts to the original song file that would play at the user's saved AB just as long as the file stays in tact in it's original directory. True. This is why I am in favour of a haptic feedback "lock on" feature that would stay on the precise timecode that a user seeks their finger to: https://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/18950-precision-seeking-with-haptic-feedback-vibration/
  17. Thanks Andre for elaborating on the Repeat terminology. I too am not keen on the 'advance category' wording and what you've stated seems more comprehensive, uniformed. For me to elaborate on the Playlist suggestion for A-B can I state the following: 1.) It should use automatic naming sequences when adding A-B song to playlist, for example = AB01, AB02, AB03 etc which the user could rename later if they choose to. The prefix naming of AB01, AB02, AB03 etc would then get displayed on the player interface and library lists itself as a naming prefix on the song title and album title. This then clearly indicate that it is an A-B track within a playlist. This is similar to what already exists when creating a new playlists in Poweramp using the "add to playlist", user is presented with default editable names of Playlist 1, Playlist 2 etc. 2.) A darkened transparent overlay could display over the album art with the large text saying "A-B track" to signify that it is a user-added A-B repeated song. The waveform seek bar would look a little different in colour and style too. 3.) During playback of playlist A-B, then the only function that would be grayed out would be the Repeat A-B since the song playing is already a user created A-B, this to avoid confusion. So in this case the user would have to go back to the original full song file if they wanted to add more A-B to a playlist. ------------- I hope that clears all that up 😉
  18. Hello Poweramp forum, I'm 99.99% certain that various streaming service requests have been made over the years on this forum. With the droves of Google Play Music users like myself currently porting their playlists over to YouTube Music it would be nice if YTM integration could be thought of. I'm doubtful there is any API out there for YTM, so I'm just throwing the hat in the ring to see what could be done. It would be awesome to be able to access and play my YTM songs within Poweramp and enjoy all the powerful effects of Poweramp bestowed upon my streamed music. Even if it wasn't 'true' streaming but queuing and cache the protected music files on SD card that would still be fine. ============= References: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360057754891-YouTube-Music-Integration https://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/19341-music-streaming-license-for-Poweramp/?tab=comments#comment-85870 https://9to5google.com/2019/08/21/waze-youtube-music-integration/ Well if a map app like Waze can do it, then... 😁
  19. Yes Andre, this is actually precisely how it should work by just adding another Repeat mode function (long-press the Repeat button). What you state is the same as how Neutron Music Player does it. I now think that Poweramp should do it in the same way as Neutron does it, by simply using the existing Repeat mode options triggered by the long-press gesture. The waveform seekbar would then slightly alter in colour during the A-B session. Below are screenshots taken of Neutron's A-B feature from a Samsung Tablet. Below are some mock-up screenshots of how Poweramp can implement it and also implement a menu option to be able to add A-B to a Playlist. (OMG Imagine an A-B function in Poweramp integrating perfectly with my existing Tempo and Cross-fade options, especially Cross-fading) ------------------------------------------------------------- long-press the Repeat button to bring up the options menu for the list of different Repeat modes ------------------------------------------------------------- long-pressing the Repeat function in Poweramp to trigger the mode (the seekbar waveform would colour to indiccate that it's in session) ------------------------------------------------------------- ability to add A-B to playlist Neutron, although arguably on the same advancement level as Poweramp still has an inferior UI to Poweramp, IMO. Much like the Pitch feature it definitely has it's use case scenarios with a variety of music, podcasts and live audio speech analysis. --------------------------------- What is the A-B Repeat function - Sony TH https://www.sony.co.th/en/electronics/support/articles/S500019685
