  1. I'm also using the date added sort, but I do only use it to go a couple of months back in time and that's to see if there is something new in the library that I have forgotten about. Personally I don't see the use for going much further back in time than that. iTunes has it's own database file, so next time it's time for a change of PC's, then make sure that you copy across the database as well. It's also a good idea to have a backup of the database in case that your PC dies. The normal iTunes database is in some proprietary format, but you can also make it available as an .xml file. Had a looooong chat with ChatGPT, leaves a bit to wish for... anyway, I got a python script for extracting album info out of the iTunes.xml file. Album Artist,Album,Date Added ZZ Top,Eliminator,2024-01-14T18:54:01Z ZZ Top,El Loco,2024-01-14T18:54:01Z ZZ Top,Gimme All Your Lovin',2020-06-01T10:10:31Z ZZ Top,La Futura,2020-06-01T10:10:31Z ZZ Top,One Foot in the Blues,2022-04-21T19:09:02Z ZZ Top,Recycler,2020-06-01T10:10:31Z ZZ Top,Rhythmeen,2021-08-26T09:55:20Z ZZ Top,XXX,2020-06-01T10:10:31Z So it would be a simple exercise to run the python script to extract the information out of the iTunes database and use that as input for creating the "dummy" files to populate the Poweramp DB.
  2. This is where we can get creative... importing 3000 folders one by one would take a long time as it takes time to copy them across, wait time for scan... What could be done is to create 3000 dummy tiny mp3 files, so one for each album, copy those across one by one or the first ones in groups of years, months... once that is done, then there would be 3000 albums in the DB, all with just the single dummy track. At this point the real content could be imported and the dummy files deleted. I could quite easily script the creation of the dummy files for @jamesww if I get an excel or similar list of the albums, artists and date added, then I can create the 3000 dummies. The 3000 files can also be placed in a "year month" directory tree. We could do a proof of concept with 10 files or so if you want to and if the result is fine, then we can do it for all files. It wouldn't take me many minutes to modify some scripts that I have for creating test files.
  3. MediaMonkey supports two way sync of playlists between PC and Android so I assume that the path "magic" would be handled by MM. I guess the main issue is how to initiate a new m3u playlist, couple of ideas comes to mind but the following is the easiest that come to mind. Create some dummy playlists like z1, z2....m3u8 in MM. (Named z... so that they sort at the end of the list) Rename a z... in Poweramp to something sensible when you take them into use I think this would work with MM and two-way sync.
  4. Personally I would "fix" the files. There is a windows batch tool available for ffmpeg. I have no experience with the tool, but it looks like you can add a source directory including sub-directoryies and there is a "Recreate source path" in the output part of the screen shot. https://ffmpeg-batch.sourceforge.io/index.html
  5. Please note that Poweramp is not using the folder date for the "date added", the "date added" is the date when a track was scanned the first time. A full rescan will be done in alphabetic order. It should also be noted that the directories typically gets a new date as the directory is normally created as a new object and not copied. How many directories are we talking about? If it's a "small" number of directories, then you can move them out of your library and move them back one by one into your library...
  6. Looks like the issue is that the image sits in Block 0. I re-muxed the file with ffmpeg and that fixed the file so that the stream info is in block 0, the fixed file shows up correctly in Poweramp.
  7. I had a look at the file saving issue in mp3tag and found https://community.mp3tag.de/t/error-message-cannot-be-opened-for-writing/19020/14 ryerman says that the issue is that the picture sits in METADATA block #0 which should be used by the stream data. And the files uploaded by twask looks like they have the setup with an picture in block 0 METADATA block #0 type: 6 (PICTURE) METADATA block #1 type: 0 (STREAMINFO) METADATA block #2 type: 6 (PICTURE) METADATA block #3 type: 4 (VORBIS_COMMENT) METADATA block #4 type: 1 (PADDING) And for some reason the picture is twice in the file.
  8. What tool did you use to convert from flac to AAC?
  9. I have my "Line2 Press" set for Album under "Look and Feel" -> "Player Screen" settings. Tapping the Line2 takes me to the album view with the list of tracks on the playing album.
  10. I don't think that you can change what happens when you tap the album cover, but you have an option that tapping on the Artist/Album text takes you to the album. "Look and Feel" -> "Player Screen" in the settings.
  11. One email two licenses is also mentioned in the following thread and it's unclear if it's working or not.
  12. Do you have two licenses bought using the same email address?
  13. Poweramp is primarily for playing local music files, so you will not get a good experience by mapping the PC drive into the virtual phone. It might be possible to use a windows junction (link) instead of copying all data into the user profile directory. Works at least with OneDrive where I have used junctions to have some additional folders copied to OneDrive. Junctions are created in the cmd prompt. Example: mklink /J "c:\my music" "C:\Users\<username>\my music"
  14. I think this would be a candidate for the frequent asked list. It pops up every now and then.
  15. It looks like there are old requests to the developers of yt-dl and yt-dlp to add the option for writing cue files but those hasn't been implemented. I found https://gist.github.com/we-taper/96792114f267fc8fcf21807b0e216ffd which is a python script that extracts the relevant parts of the json into a cue file.
  16. I sent a link to a test file to you Andre, you can get it from my S3 test bucket. I have the cue file embedded in my flac files, can that be the difference? Steps to reproduce: Long click on track 2 of the album, create a new playlist Go to playlist and hit play And Poweramp will continue to play beyond the end of the track.
  17. I got the same behavior as @AlexPowerAmplex. I will post more details tomorrow.
  18. @Joey R take a look at https://www.mp3tag.de/en/. mp3tag can scan your library on your PC and you can easily add the cover columns in the report. Right click on the column header row Customize columns New Value -> "Information Fields" and all the Cover fields are there Then add your musik folder and it will fairly quickly scan through all your tracks and then you can sort on the columns and fix the tracks without covers or other issues. Edit 1: It's fairly easy to add images in mpp3tag. I usually take album covers from Apple Music nowadays using google image search. Search for "Artist Album title Apple Music" Click on the small image and it will open up on the right side of the screen Right click on the image and do "copy image" Right click the "image area" in mp3tag do a "Paste Image" Save Edit 2: And you can do the same action to multiple traks in one go. Select all tracks of an album, paste the cover and save.
  19. OP wants an easy way to get to the downloaded album art so that he can embed the images in the audio files. I don't have any interest in this.
  20. I understand the application Sandbox thing as it protects the application data so other applications are not able to get to the data... buuuut... it causes a lot of other issues where you would want to share the data or be able to pick it with a file browser or what ever. How about a "Configurable location for album art cache"?
