    [...] Where as the first song fades out the next songs starts at full volume (rather that fades in). [...] 

    I can subscribe that. Manual track change fading with the option "Only fade out" would be a very nice feature. 

    Particularly with regard to the fact that this feature should be applicable for chromecast output as well.

    Was this based on the system I suggested a while back? I put quite a bit of thought into making it as simple as possible from the user's point of view (basically clickable lists to make an entire new Category) although I have no idea how complex the underlying code would be of course:

    • You would first create a numbered top-down sorting order, using as many hierarchical layers as you like. A simple list of choices could include genre, composer, year, track artist/album artist, album title, song title, path, filename, etc. There could easily be enough options for all of the esoteric things that people occasionally mention too - such as duration, bitrate, BPM, date added, star rating, most-played, etc. The resulting layered sort order could be as simple as just one entry, or as complex as anyone wishes. There could be optional Forward/Reverse (and even Random?) ordering available for each level - long-press to choose reversed, shuffled, or cancel that choice which would move it back to the unselected area again .
    • Once finished, you could then (optionally) long-press to define which of those sorting levels you also want to act as a 'group' level. Selecting no grouping at all would give you a simple flattened All Songs list, or you could set just a one-layer Artists group for example which would contain all of that artist's songs in a long list, or more complex multiple drill-down layering as desired.

    That was basically it. So as an example, you could create a sorting order of Genre > Artist > Year (reverse order, so recent years first) > Album Title > Track# , and you could group (i.e. set drill-down levels) on the Genre | Artist | Album Title layers.

    That would be such a powerful enhancement.

    Speaking of complicated: Those user, who wish to customize their categories, should be prepared to invest additional "brainpower" and manual work for it to accomplish.

    So you want Genre to become a drill-down system, with a few top-level categories and assorted nested items underneath those? [...] 

    Yes, in the end that's what I want to achieve. But the top-level categories shouldn't be derived from ID3 tags.

    I only want to have the opportunity to manually group certain genre categories to top-level categories or let's call it "folders" exclusively within PA. These folders only act as system to get access to the (tag-driven) genre categories of my huge music collection in a well-arranged way.

    Thanks, Andre, for replying.

    Following your proposal the overall Genre Pop/Rock would show all albums of the genres Indie Rock, Alternative Rock, Rock'n'Roll etc. in a flat list. 

    What I want is the overall Genres (e.g. Pop/Rock or Electronic) to be an additional level, which gives access to the particular genre categories defined by tags (e.g. Indie Rock, Alternative Rock, Rock'n'Roll etc.). 

    Perhaps I should have been more precise beforehand.

    Regards

    For the most part the genre tag of my music files is filled with subgenres like for example indie pop, alternative rock, rock'n'roll, downtempo, nu jazz etc. That's why my genre category in PA with about 80 entries is very confusing. 

    A nice solution would be an option to group several (sub-)genres to overall genres and the ability to freely name these overall genres user-defined. This way I could for example define an overall genre Pop/Rock which would contain the genres indie rock, alternative rock, rock'n'roll et al. The overall genres should be made available as separate category in the library menu and would be much more well-arranged like my current genre category. 

    What do you think about it? 

    Regards

    The only exception to the above would be when your are listening in Shuffle All Songs mode, in which case I assume moving songs around in the list would probably be feasible without breaking any List Options ordering.

    Indeed shuffled playback of all genre/album artist songs would be my primary use case where the option to remove/move certain songs would definitely add additional benefit. 

    Regards

    @andrewilley Thanks Andre for your accurate summary of the recently requested history/now playing feature.

    One thing I don't agree with is your point about the possibility to edit the list. If we'll be able to see the forthcoming songs, why not give the user the chance to remove any song just from that list or to change the order? In my opinion this wouldn't be opposed to PA's very comfortable 'sorted categories' playback concept but rather enhance it. 

    Regards 

    Progress Stripe in Mini Player

    This feature was present in Poweramp v2's version of what is now the mini-player, but somehow it never made it to v3. I agree it would be nice, but to be usefully finger-accessible it would need to take up a fair bit of space.

    Andre

    I don't know what other user expect from this feature. But for me this progress bar doesn't necessarily have to be finger-accessible. I just need this as an indicator about the remaining time of the actual playback while browsing through my library in search of the following song to start manually.

    Store list position in all genre songs list

    Is it possible to add the option of storing the list position for lists such as the all genre songs list? 

    At the moment this option is only available for playlists. 

    Regards 

    Could this be implemented for all different kind of All songs lists e.g. All album artist songs and All genre songs?

    Regards
