I too experience the "something went wrong..." probably at least half the time I try to use voice commands. Mostly when I'm in the car and my Queue comes to and end and I can't mess with my phone because I'm driving. I then have to wait until I can safely stop the car. Then I can clear the Queue and repopulate with a new set of albums for continued listening pleasure.

It means this is a fantastic album regardless of what your doing when you listen to it. I have my phone in my pocket with wired full can headphones so no trouble with the neighbors.. Only have to run about 2/3 volume to be able to ignore the lawn mower. Oh, and with this album a little volume is good, kinda like Led Zepplin.

This album is great lawn mowing music - Jefferson Starship / Nuclear Furniture. Gracie Slick sure does have some lungs!

Switching from my main genre for a change of pace. Who knows, I could end up with some classical listening later, we'll see...

John Hiatt - Perfectly Good Guitar. Solid 4 of 5 stars.

Picked this up 1.5 years ago. It's absolutely wonderful! Allmusic classifies it as Pop/Rock however I'd say it's got a very Country Folksie feel. Each of the songs seems to tell an aspect of Jason's life stories. Great music and lyrics.

Listening to a great album from 1971 that surely helped springboard Rod Stewart's career. Faces / Long Player

How about some 1970 Rock.

A great Album, gets better with each listen. Whitehorse - Panther in the Dollhouse

I get this same problem with v829 - Moto x4 - Android Pie. Had to go back to v828.

I believe this must not work for the Queue. I have this setting disabled. If I'm playing music from the Queue over BT in the car and shut the car off it stops the player at the point it was at where BT is disconnected. I then get back in the car, the phone reconnects and begins right where it left off. I have Resume on Bluetooth enabled. This is also true for wired headset. I have Resume on Wired Headset disabled, but if I reconnect the headset and hit play it picks right up where it left off.

As far as I know the only field that currently supports multiple entries is the Genre tag and I believe both semi-colon ";" and double slash "//" work as separators. There are some other requests to have the Artist tag also support multiple artists.

My issue is not with lossless vs lossy. It's the whole "hi-res" thing, the 96 - 192 - 384 / 24 bit (frequency / dynamic range). The original red book CD 44.1/16 bit goes beyond my hearing, and really anybody else other than those 2 audiophile guys that nobody really knows, but many say they are. If the mastering was done properly like Dark Side of the Moon or Long Road Out of Eden I don't believe there's any benefit (other than to get money from my wallet). For lossless (CD and beyond ripped to FLAC) I think if you use the same master and everything else is equal there would be no difference in the music regardless of whether it's 44.1/16 or all the way up to 384/24 other than how much you pay for it. Even if the original is digitally recorded at 384/24 and down sampled to 44.1/16 for Red Book CD. With todays tendency of some mastering engineers to play in the "loudness wars" the quality of the sound will be crap regardless of whether it's lossy, lossless (CD) or "hi-res".

And that's a great argument! It's also interesting that the high bit rate MP3's in the test were made from the same "inferior" 44.1khz/16bit (CD) files that were used for the lossless versions. Since MP3's by definition are (lossy) inferior to the original they are created from they should be even more inferior than the original. These type tests almost show that each level of higher resolution adds an increasing level of harshness that many perceive as inferior quality. With most current recordings being made with high sonic compression (loudness wars) we tend to loose even more dynamic range. This article is slightly OT to this, but again says there's not really much point to resolutions beyond 44.1khz/16bit other than to extract more money from your wallet. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/high-end-pc-audio,3733-18.html

I understand that there's hardware out there that supports Hi-Res. My contention is the reality that the people that say things like "a veil being lifted", "harshness totally gone", "unconstrained", "like the difference between night and day", etc are most likely experiencing expectation bias. If they actually did true A/B/X testing I would bet that they would not be able to tell the difference between Hi-Res / CD 44.1/16 or even 320kbps MP3.

Why all the noise on "Hi-Res"? From my own experience and some objective testing by others it looks like Hi-Res is more hype and marketing than any real world enhancement. In reality there is very little true Hi-Res music available. If you read the audio rags you'll find that they don't do any real scientific testing. Any older music that's recorded on analog equipment will never be Hi-Res. As @maxmpsays, the hi-res capability in phones is "experimental" and to me it feels like just another gimmick to sell you a new phone. Here's some articles you may find interesting; https://medium.com/@skikirkwood/truth-lies-and-fraud-in-the-audiophile-world-a365e56c97c4 http://www.realhd-audio.com/?p=6267 there's a reference in the first article of some testing of high bitrate MP3 tested against FLAC (lossless CD quality) in A/B/X testing and the most picked for best sound was actually the MP3, go figure! Here's a link to the actual testing, how it was done and the results; http://archimago.blogspot.com/2013/02/high-bitrate-mp3-internet-blind-test.html There's an old story that seems like it applies...

I too have separate cover art. One Folder.jpg for each album in the same folder as the album songs. My file structure is "<music root>/<artist>/<album>/<songs>" with the cover art in the same folder as the songs. My cover art always shows correctly. I have 1,600+ albums on a 256GB MicroSD card in my phone. Moto X4 - Android Pie - PA V3 -build 816.

Some questions... Is your album art embedded in the music files or is it a separate file in the album folder like "Folder.jpg"? What version is "latest version"? What device and model (phone)? What version of android?
