[Back Button During Now Playing]

I think the point was that intuitively the Back button should always go 'back', i.e. it should always return you to whatever screen you were viewing just before the one you are on now.

Thus if you are in the Player screen and you tap on the cover artwork (to bring you to the songs list for the current category) then the Back button should not act as an 'up' button as it does now, but instead simply go directly BACK to the player screen again.

If, however, you arrived at that same songs list by drilling down through several layers of folders, then the Back button should recursively take you back up one layer at a time to the higher levels of folder(s).

There are of course already specific ways to achieve both of these results within the library view anyway - tap on the mini-player to return to the Player screen, or tap on the top-left 'up-arrow' to go up a category level - but logically the Back button should behave dynamically and its result should depend on which screen you originally came from.

I disagree. I think the back button should always take you up one level in the hierarchy you're using. Never back to the player screen.

Yeah, I hope they change it... It used to be different in previous versions.

Yes, the Back button will take you back to the startup screen from the Player screen if that's what you have selected.

Not sure what you mean by pinching or pressing the folder name from the Player screen though, all you need to do is tap on the artwork to get to the current category song list (e.g, Folder view).

Okay, tapping in the artwork is great, didn't know that. Thanks!

It does. If you are viewing a folder's contents, the back button will take you up one level, and so on until you reach the library root level. What happens from there depends on the setting discussed above, it can either exit the app or return to the Player screen, depending on your choice.

Andre

You're absolutely right, but when you are in the "now playing" screen, it doesn't work that way. You have to pinch or press the folder name. The back button takes you back to top level. No big deal, but a bit inconsistent. 

By the way, when opening Poweramp in folder view, I always see another song than the one actually selected. Is this a bug? 

Thanks, Daan

Yes, but I want the back button to take me back one level in the folder, not to the top...

Hi, in the newest Poweramp / Android this option seems to have disappeared... You can only choose for the back button to exit the app or take you to the top of the folder list. 

Am I missing something? Thanks!
