I have a large collection that I've been working on for a really long time so the files I have were created by itunes, foobar2000, fre:ac and who knows what else. The format of the files I put on my phone are .mp3 and .m4a. My main desktop player/ editor is Foobar2000. Up until trying the PowerampApp I've been using Foobar2000 and VLC on my phone. My phone is running Android 11. I've actually been quite satisfied with the performance of the Foobar2000 mobile app but it doesn't provide a sleep timer or the Chromecast option so that's why I also use VLC. The features on the PowerampApp are overall better than both the other apps, I was hoping to just have one app to use.
I was seeing artist names and album names fine. It was the song titles that were showing up as the file name. The Legacy Mode was already turned off. The full rescan didn't work but after I revoked storage permissions AND rescanned a few times that seems to have done the trick. THANK YOU!
I guess I'll have to deal with the back cover art showing up because I have a whole lot of files that apparently that was the last artwork I added and I'm not about to go back in and change those.
Regarding the battery usage, I was just looking for ways to help with that. Some apps have features turned on that aren't really needed that add to the battery usage. I do use the EQ on this, that's one of the features I really like. It's the best EQ I've run across in an app.
