I do have some local file servers for my own use since I'm always transferring stuff between my PC and phone for any reason, and it is more reliable and faster than using a cable (ever since android ditched the mass storage USB mount option, using cable is paradoxically not an option here, already lost data more than once trusting these new mounting options), and most of the apps I use can connect to them and run files just fine, but for audio nothing matches Poweramp, so I keep cycling what I carry with me every once in a while... I had to start using hybrid wavpack because storage space is always short, oof But yeah more than Poweramp sending audio to other devices, what I always wanted to see is Poweramp being able to play audio from remote sources with its own implementation of something (and that time limited library view from build 815 or something). I wouldn't even mind migrating my servers to another protocol or just creating a dedicated one for it. Anyway I think I still have that app somewhere, haven't used it in a while because it's really squishy but I might be able to share if allowed. We are on Android, google can't just block some feature because we can just add it back again, lol Edit: you can find it here on F-Droid, it was apparently straight from Google itself and open source. But again it just haphazardly works on Poweramp, so don't expect the best experience, lol

One thing I still have some hope to see on Poweramp is it being able to play songs from a remote location, like from an SMB or FTP server for example. There is an old app that can mount an SMB directory as a local folder on Android, making it accessible for some other apps, but it never got a release if i remember correctly, it was on some kind of beta but was discontinued, so it was already kinda flimsy and it's even more now, it works with Poweramp, but Poweramp can't read the tags nor the album art, and the duration of the songs sometimes doesn't show, but it kinda works still. This and an old folder view from a very old V3 build, 815 I think? That pretty much only showed up there, it never appeared before and never appeared again, but it looked really cool. But that is going off topic though.

Yo, long time no see Updated to v916 about 15 hours ago and haven't been able to use the Luminous Black skin even with that Poweramp Beta toggle enabled on the skin settings. After reading here for a bit, the workaround with the Chromecast button, mentioned here by user "inazuk" works: So if you use Luminous Black and can't load the skin, or maybe even others (I haven't tested with others but you can try it), go to the Poweramp Settings, Look and Feel, Player UI and change the Chromecast Button option to Main Screen. You should be able to use the skin again after that. Btw, thanks for fixing the Stereo Expand noise thing, for a few days I thought either I or my phone was finally going mad. LG G7, Android 10 (Clean and Official AUS ROM flashed through LG UP), Poweramp build-916-bundle-play

Thanks a lot for the higher resolution background image when using the blur 0 and detail 10, the picture on older versions when using these settings looked really bad Also it does feel like it looks better overall even with some blur, I changed my settings to have some blur but also have some more detail and it looks pretty good

It happens regardless, it was the very first thing I noticed when I connected my headphones for the first time after the update. I don't use any equalizers or effects, apart from Poweramp Equalizer, but this one is disabled for the Poweramp audio player itself. And again, it happens system wide, all apps, all things. This didn't happened when I went from Android 8 to 9, even tho Android 9 was very buggy to me. Before on volume 12/75 things were already to the loud side, now I reach up to 40/75 sometimes and it is still kinda quiet. The quality is still very good, just the volume that changed. It's almost like the Quad Dac is not sending the requested power even with it being active

Well i do agree 32bit is kinda overkill for listening only, but if it's capable of then why not... My phone is basically a media player for me, don't really use it for anything else, so I don't have problems if things like power consumption or hardware usage increases. My phone is an LG G7, i have it for a few years already and in the past I've already did so many tests and unnecessary comparisons between the native audio player that supposedly can do 32bit and Poweramp that is fixed on 24 that i already gone past that phase. But i do remember that the native player has something to it that it's kinda hard to explain when using 32bit files, but the native player is far too inconvenient for me to use and my collection of 32bit files is still too small for me to bother with it Would be nice to have a fp32 option for hi-res tho Also for other LG G7 users, had you noticed a drop on output power after updating to android 10? I get like 40% of the power i had before on Android 9 now and it's system wide, not only a Poweramp thing. It does struggle a bit now to run my headphones

So far the only thing happening here is some occasional random rescans, but they are far less frequent than what's being reported by other users. Also, my AAudio output is fixed at 48kHz, with 16bit, float32 or auto, but I've seen someone else using it at 24-192, why would this happen? Mostly our of curiosity as my hi-res output works fine tho it can only go up to 24bit when it should theoretically go up to 32... But in here to give a suggestion, it's about the album art. Maybe an option to apply the chosen album art to all the songs of the folder, or an option to prefer the folder image over the embedded one. Sometimes I let pass some albums with low res embedded cover or non square pictures without noticing and if the songs are from different artists, then i know I'll be spending some time to change the album art of every single one of them Here's a video of the process such an option could prevent Also so far the issue with 72kHz files seem to be solved, I reverted the skip short tracks option to my previous values and the 72kHz files are still showing fine, so that is probably solved now.

Bought the app early today, took a while but I got it, just like Poweramp, worth every cent! Been using it a lot and it's been working wonderfully on my LG G7 now with cross-flashed Android 10, also with vanced it works flawlessly too. The app seems to be pretty chill about staying on at all times as it always works when I use the apps i have it activated for, without failing. Pretty solid performance. If only google had it's audio shit done right we could maybe have reverb ._. My posts are becoming repetitive and there's not much to say, it literally Just Work™, lol

Just cross flashed my LG G7 to Android 10 today and both Poweramp and Poweramp equalizer have been working perfectly so far, but I do have a repeated question about the equalizer: Any plans to implement reverb on the equalizer app? I shouldn't trust my memory but I think I remember seeing a message somewhere that on android 9, the version I was at the time, things wouldn't work good, but what now about android 10? Also damn thanks to my shitty currency the app is quite expensive, I might take a while to buy it. It will be the most expensive app I have ever bought XD

I too use vanced for quite a while and it's completely safe, yet more since when they added the vanced manager app, where you can get stuff and updates directly from them, no need to even open the browser. I use my main account there and absolutely no problems so far. Also, the process to make it work with the equalizer app is a one time only proccess, at least here on my phone. Once you do the play a video, hit home screen and minimize the mini player to the notification, you won't need to do that ever again, it will always work with vanced. Sometimes you will need to open the equalizer app manually but you don't need to do all that process again as it will start working as soon as the equalizer app started. Thanks to the equalizer app I've been using a function i always despised, which is the compressor. I always hated that and avoided it like the plague but since I use youtube mainly to hear narrations and people talking, that is actually helping. I never thought I would see Poweramp equalizer working standalone, but i surely never even considered about using compressor for anything XD Only thing missing for me is the reverb, but max said that is not as easy as it seems unfortunately

I don't listen to music from a lot of other sources, 98% of the time is on Poweramp audio player itself and the other 2% is when I stream something from my PC via smb, so i probably am not doing the app justice, but I might force an update to the android 10 this phone got on other countries, or i might even just install a custom ROM soon, so probably the reverb only adding noise on android 9 won't be that big of a problem for me. So that means that reverb is possible but on newer versions of Android? Again, i basically always listen to music from the Poweramp audio player so it's completely fine if my requests get pushed out, I'm mostly trying to give some feedback considering my hardware and software. I've been using the new advanced player tracking today and it was good, worked with my third party youtube app, which I don't use an awful lot but i do like to listen some narrations sometimes (that's half the reason I wanted reverb, the other half is for when I watch anime streaming from my pc as well), it had been working with vlc too since I installed it yesterday, on build 889. The app is still going very well so far although I've not been nearly as heavy as a user like I am with the audio player.

Just installed the Poweramp Equalizer app and so far it has been working good on my LG G7 which is on Stock Android 9. Exported my settings from the audio player to the equalizer and it's done, just like that. The only problem until now is the volume. This doesn't happen with the audio player but only with the equalizer: the LG G7 has a system default of 75 volume steps (when Quad DAC is on). When I'm not on the equalizer app UI, so like on home screen, other app, here writing this, the volume steps work fine, it goes with jumps of 1. When I am on the equalizer UI, the volume goes with jumps of 5, essentially reducing the volume to only 15 steps, with a very big volume difference from one another. Another thing I noticed is, differently from the audio player, the equalizer app does seem to be fine with DVC, actually deactivating DVC reduces the output volume considerably. That behavior is opposite to the audio player which gets sketchy when DVC is on and is amazing when DVC is off for the hi-res output. I've only been listening for a few minutes and it's not really very good material to test quality, but it is sounding nice anyway. Is the equalizer app using the hi-res audio output or just the standard open sl output? And the last thing is a question, about the reverb. Is it going to appear on the equalizer app anytime soon? Or it's not being considered at all? I do like the reverb capabilities from Poweramp, and I do think it would be good to be on the equalizer app... Also, the new UI with the color on the bars and knobs is pretty good!

LG G7 here, Poweramp b857 and 858. Finally got the Pie version of android, but... Until two days ago when I was on Oreo, everything was working fine. Now on Pie, multiples of 44.1kHz doesn't work anymore. 88.2, 176.4, 352.8 and actually 384kHz too stopped as well, when they're selected there's just no sound. Apparently it does work with DVC off but the volume is just far too low. I'm talking about 100% volume without DVC is like 10% with it, and it just can't power my headphones. I've always heard about problems with hi-res audio and Android Pie, but I couldn't really find much about this matter concerning the G7 somehow. Is there a workaround for this or I'll be stuck with 48, 96 and 192 samplerates now? I always prefer to have the samplerate as the closest multiple of the song samplerate, so the odd multiples are actually a thing for me as someone with lots of DSDs, plus I do have some files that are native 88.2k. Don't ask, they just exist and there's who use them. Other than that things are working fine as far as audio quality and player functions/stability just as it was before. The only thing is really with the weird samplerates...

LG G7 ThinQ, I can confirm it works perfectly, but up to 24bit 384kHz 44,1k–48k–88,2k–96k–176,4k–192k–352,8k–384k builds 795 and rc-797 Stock LG UI ROM with Android 8.0.0
