    Correct, there will still be bug fixes and various other core updates applied to the main Poweramp app, that won't change. However Max has decided that to protect the future development of the app (remember he's only one person!) he's going to combine a number of feature request updates into purchasable packs. No one will have to buy them of course, unless you particularly want the contained facilities.

    So I did understand that part correctly. Thanks. 

    This decision makes a lot of sense to me. When I buy an app, I, unless stated otherwise, view it as I bought it in its current state and everything that gets added to that is essentially a gift from the developer and from that POV I have received a lot of free stuff from Max over the past 10+ years, including the free update from v2 to v3.

    So I don't have much of an issue with having to pay, my issue is only that the way to pay is not working for me. I cannot do in app purchases and the no-play-services licence is not going to work for me as it has a limit on re-activation that clashes with me being a bit of a dumbass who has to reset his phone once in a while because I f*ck up while updating my custom rom or whatever. If my current licence had that same limit I probably would've had to buy 3 or 4 licences by now.

    I can't speak for Max's specific plans, but to my mind it would make most sense to theme these add-on packages - such as "Player Screen Features", "Interface Updates", "Library Management Utilities", "Advanced Output Methods" (which might include things like following source-file resolutions), "Network Sources", etc. Having a mish-mash of random stuff from all over the place doesn't seem to be an ideal way to entice users to opt for any given package.

    I think that mostly, but not always, makes sense. For example some library features may make sense for someone who also wants the advanced output methods stuff (like the special icons for high quality files) and should therefore be paired together. And I still think a "just give me all the stuff" option would be nice.

    @LPW00 that's not possible on Play due to Repetitive Content Policy.

    Also, "multiple smaller in-app purchases" are not planned, it's called Feature Pack as it combines ~6m of updates in single cheap in-app.

    The new Full Version Unlocker purchase includes all the prior packs, so no need to rename anything.

    If you purchased it already, often many years ago, you can continue to use your Full Version Poweramp - no any previously available feature or option is locked or removed for you. You will continue to get some of new features and fixes as well. But some new (usually requested by users) features will be in the paid Feature Packages.

    There is an official "no-google-services" Poweramp purchase via Poweramp website. As microtransaction is not possible for this kind of distribution due to high minimal transaction fee, it will continue to include everything though price is higher this way.

     

    So if I wait for the feature packs, that I want, to drop and then make a new google account to buy Poweramp again, that licence will then have those feature packs included? That would be a little inconvenient but possible for me to do.

    Or maybe I'll have to borrow someone elses phone and do the in app purchases on that device, which would also be inconvenient, but probably possible.

  2. Hi, I don't know how economically viable this is for you, but instead of multiple smaller in-app purchases I would strongly prefer another paid app that's like the full version unlocker, but for the feature packs and ideally it should be expensive enough to be a one time purchase that covers all upcoming feature packs or at least all upcoming feature packs up to a certain date or version number.

    My reasons are the following:

    1. I can't do in app purchases, because I use microg. I can pay for apps though and the verification works too.

    2. I don't ever want to be nagged by an app to buy new features. I'd rather do it once and be done with it. 

     

    Also, you're going to have to rename the full version unlocker, since it no longer unlocks the full version.

    Edit: also, can you clarify which of the features proposed in the list we can vote for will be paid additions? I don't think it's practical to have "Simplify confusing wording of the Repeat Icon" be a paid feature, so I have to assume that some of these features are going to be free updates. 

     

  3. This is an appreciation post. I bought this 10 years ago as a teenager, it was my first purchase on the play store and one of the very few that I don't regret. I struggle to think of another app that has accompanied me for this long from phone to phone and is still getting updated.

    Poweramp was the best available music player back in the day and now after ten years Poweramp is still in a league of its own. (I don't know how it is possible, but it's still the only player that reads my tags correctly... 🙃)

    I'm grateful for ten years of free updates that other developers would've at some point (probably the v3 update) published as a separate app that needs a new licence. I recommend this app at every opportunity and I'm probably going to buy a none play store licence or the equalizer or something soon-ish™ as a thanks.

  4. Oof I'm cringing at my older posts here, I certainly wasn't lying when I said my english was bad. I'd still very much like to see this (or even better @andrewilley's proposal) happen. I get excited every time Poweramp gets an update, but then I open the changelog and this one thing I've been waiting for, for literal years, is still not there. Is there anything specific that currently stands in the way of making this happen?

    Generally, I think you want secondary sort setting (there is a hidden secondary sort field already, for example, year + name for albums). This is quite possible, adding to the backlog. Thanks!

    I'm not sure I understand, but possibly, yes. Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

    I'll try to elaborate more on my request to further eliminate any possible misunderstandings, I wouldn't want u to waste ur time. 

    I want that in the "albums" list/category, albums by Eminem are located at "E" so after deadmau5's and before Green Day's albums. And Eminem's albums should then be sorted by year so that the Slim Shady LP (1999) shows up before the Marshall Mathers LP (2000), even tho the "M" from "Marshall" alphabetically comes before the "S" from "Slim".

    Or do you want to do a multiple  sort of all albums, first by Album artist, then by year ?

    Exactly, that's it. I have the list "all albums" sorted by "album artist" and I want to keep that and I mostly try to solve the problem, that sometimes an album is titled "xyz" and the next album from that artist is "xyz 2" and then Poweramp lists "xyz 2" before "xyz". Especially (but not exclusively) for audio books, that sucks. (Of course, I could tag "xyz" as "xyz 1", but that's just wrong, it is not the real title of the album and it bugs me. This + the addition of this multiple sorting being a useful addition from other perspectives as well, made me request it.)

    Sorry if my previous response came across as rude, but with my sometimes limited English skills it's kinda hard to explain what it is that I want and being therefore unable to get my point across is very frustrating.

    @Pranavpauskar I don't think I can reproduce this on my OnePlus 5, though it's 5T on stock 5.1.5 ROM. All OnePluses on stock ROMs support hi-res in Poweramp, starting from OnePlus One (1st variant) ending with OnePlus 6.

    I guess u ain't gonna bother with custom ROMs for the OnePlus One, amirite? Because official ROM is stuck on marshmallow 6.0 while the majority of bacon users are probably using anything from nougat 7.1 to pie 9.0. And on all of those, hi res output doesn't really work. Except for opensl hi res via Bluetooth, alltough also very limited. That's sad because the hardware potential is there. Maybe it's a ROM issue, in that case, would u mind taking a look at the source of posp (it's the first pie ROM that got released and others are more or less based on @agent_fabulous' pie port, aka. posp). https://github.com/PotatoDevices 

    It'd be brilliant if u could help us bacon users, knowing the potential is there but being unable to use it, sucks.
