weird enough, the only thing I am so far aware of is the write perms are missing, but sure I can try.

exactly that's how know Poweramp basically since I had it. but an uninstall didnt help

most of my tracks are tagged in some way but I honestly dont care about the tags as I usually run by the folder hierarchy but even THAT is empty (as indicated in the screenshot) and on my earlier phone (Galaxy Note 4 on Android 5, was a while ago), everything worked nicely. for the rescan apparently for some reason while I am in the menu there seems to be no indication of ever stopping even after the folder/file count doesnt increase anymore, if I leave the menu it basically just shows 0 titles, 0 folders, 4 playlists, which is plain weird.

okay interesting, as the scanner kinda half-works, it finds the tracks but for some reason cannot categorize them into where they belong are there logs I can send?

The app is iirc not on sd but the music is. Sorry for having used confusing wording. Also these tracks are part of a soundtrack, so no problem with those. Does Poweramp for some reason need write access to the music folders? As extra users for some reason can't get that.

For some reason most lists (aside from maybe all titles or recently added) are empty, which kinda sux as it's kinda hard getting to the titles you want, when you pass a few thousand and only have a list. Phone:xperia xa2 Android ver: 9 Rom: standard, no root no nothing. The only thing that may be of note is that i am on it as a secondary user running off my microsd.

do you have any other application responding to media controls? from time to time either apple music or spotify mess with my stuff.

assuming that's even possible, because if there is no disc number in the ID3s you either have to modify the album name or for example add the disc number to the track number (e.g. disc 1 track one becomes 101 track 2 is 102 and disc 2 track 1 is 201 and so on)

this is actually also the problem when list+path sort, see the other thread. even thout the parent folder comes first, when you go through it via the player it is somewhere else. the thing that would make most sense would be to fix path sorting and then force it for hierarchy. but then again a certain kind of folder sorting inside the hierarchy might also be possible, for example by date or reversed name or whatever but keeping the hierarchy.

I know, but that's not the point. the problem is that when you are in hierarchy mode, even though the player still uses the folder sorting, you cannot change that setting without switching to list or grid.

but the problem is that you cannot access the setting for that in hierarchy mode without having to switch to list or grid. what would make most sense would be to enforce path sorting in hierarchy.

well as long as you dont have tracks in a parent folder it is like the list. the problem is as soon as you do have folders in the parent view the player behaves like the list in post one.

sort by path go into hierarchy and swich through the folders via the "next list" button. repeat with sort by name + hierarchy and notice the difference. I dont really have a cam ready to take a video

in the list, but the player is affected by the sorting option. THAT is the problem

yeah in the list. and since this doesnt list the actual files but only an entry "parent folder", it does make sense. but the problem is that the player (not the list) gets the path sort wrong.
