Looks like we are getting bit-perfect audio on a os-level.

[Sort albums by artist, then year]

I posted this in the new releases section but I didn't know this section existed for request features I posted in the new releases section but I didn't know this section existed for requesting features, sorry! 

 

 In the albums tab, when sorted by artist, the albums themselves are sorted alphabetically. 

It would be awesome to have the option to sort them by release date when they are already sorted by artist. Something like "Sort By Artist, then year". 

 

For example, in the screenshot you can see all the Metallica albums sorted alphabetically instead of the year they were released.

 

Another cool thing would be the ability to completely disable any info under the album cover. Just the album covers, like a music library!

 

 

 

Thanks in advance, amazing app

Hello! 

Thanks for adding the shuffle-header setting. Always appreciate a quick response from a dev

Just to check, you are seeing this in the top level of the Albums category, with List Options presumably set to sort "By Artist"? I can't duplicate this in that mode, although I have heard other people mention something similar in the past. What happens in other sort orders, such as "By Name" ?

It is set to "Sort by artist". When I set it to "Sort by Name" the jump bar works correctly. Maybe a problem with my idtags? It started happening out of nowhere, weird. 

[A-Z Jumpbar is broken]

I'm using the latest 926 Poweramp beta, however it's been happening for a while now. Android 11.

 

Basically what's shown on the video: the a-z Jumpbar gets stuck at letter H and it starts working at letter U. It only happens in the "Albums" category. 

 

Thanks in advance ❤️

Is there any way to make the chosen shuffle type permanent? I always use the "Categories only" mode so that the albums are played randomly, but the order of the songs is correct for each album.

However, when I press the header shuffle button it always changes to "Categories and songs" even though I had previously chosen "Just categories".

I would like to be able to use the header shuffle button as a button to play a random album, i.e. make one type of shuffle the permanent and preferred one for all categories in the player. Musicbee on desktop has that option and it's pretty awesome for discovering music that you haven't heard in a while in case your library is big (20.000 songs in my case but I've seen way bigger) 

 

Thanks in advance, best player I've used ❤️

[Add 'AutoEq' pre-sets for equalizer to normalize headphones]

There is no licencing issue as far as I know, the AutoEQ project headset database is meant to be accessible to anyone who wants to use it, there is no commercial licencing system. Once PA supports parametric equalisation it ought to be relatively straight-forward to create an interface that either loads pre-saved data from a CSV file, or even scrapes it directly from the web (a bit harder, not sure if they provide a neat API or not).

It's all down to how Max prioritises this sort of slightly esoteric feature though, there are a lot of other requests to get though too.

AutoEq also features fixed-band equalisation which fits the Poweramp equalizer (I've been using it for a while now) . It would be a good starting point to use those presets until we get full Parametric eq

I just installed neutron player after reading this and I must say it really works & I can clearly feel the difference but to be honest sound wise it's not that great as far as I can tell. Is there any additional steps or setup that I'm missing out. Because Poweramp sounds way better than this atleast to me. The loudness bass everything is 10 times lower than Poweramp. But it does change the actual sound signature of the headphones (please note I didn't find actual preset for my headphone yet will try again later)

I do have full version of neutron player & Sony mdr xb920 headphone any suggestions would be appreciated I'm asking this because of curiosity.

Would love to see it in Poweramp if it really works

It may be because neutron automatically applies the preamp needed, whereas in Poweramp you need to do all the eq'ing manually. That's why it sounds way lower. 

 Preamp is needed, if its not used the eq can produce clipping and/or lower the dynamic range (even with a limiter).  N

I would literally pay again the full price of the app if this gets implemented.
