Uhmmm ok lets check the config 4 the app... App can acces files... So where is the option to delete some songs or what can we do to be able to delete songs. Grettings from MX

Hi! I'd like to be able to delete files more easily. Today: * I long-press anywhere on the cover-art * the popup-menu appear * I move the finger to the Delete option (slightly center-left on screen) * the delete dialog appear at the bottom of the screen * I move the finger to confirm the deletion (bottom right on screen) This is extra tiresome on my Samsung Note9, which is quite big and wide. Example: I hear a tune that I want to erase and fetch the phone from the left jacket pocket with my left hand. (My right hand is carrying my bag and can't be used.) With my left thumb I have to do the above steps. It is hard to stretch it to all places while also holding the phone with the same hand. Usually the next 5-10 tunes are bad as well (when I play folders of mp3's), so I repeat this delete actions over and over. Hence I need a quick and smooth Delete function. (no, I don't want to delete the entire folder in the Folder view. I want to delete unwanted songs one by one while listening to them.) (no, I don't want to first use ranking, and later bulk-delete the bad songs.) Some suggested solutions: When I long-press the cover-art, show a file-icon beneath my finger and a red trashcan near the tapped location. If I drag and drop the icon on it, the file will be deleted without any need for a confirmation dialog. Or just like when you long-press on an icon on the (Samsung) phone's desktop, you get options to Uninstall, Remove icon from desktop, etc. In the same manner, PA could show buttons instead of the menu-list. Important: the buttons must be presented *close* to the position where you tapped. The Delete button will then be near the tapped location. Now show the confirmation dialog at the same place, with confirm and cancel near the tapped location. This way I can easily delete a file with three taps close together. Or make the center line buttons customizeable. In my case I would replace the first button (Visualization) with a Delete button. This option is no good if I pick the phone up with my right hand though (the button is too far to the left). Or make the four bottom buttons customizeable, just like the bottom icons of the desktop of any Android phone. If I could add a 5th button, I would add a Delete-button in the middle, between the Equalizer and Search buttons. I guess you get my point. 🙂 /Elof

After the grant access has been given it still cant delete the selected song. V2 also had the same problem and the problem still continue in v3 as well.

Hello friends, I've been trying to find any thread related to it but I haven't found any. However I am playing one of my Playlists one of them will get deleted without I even make an update. So when I go to the playlisy folder the file will be there but all blank and empty. So to kinda fix it, I will let a bkp of it in another folder so I can drag and drop in my main Playlist folder.

Build 588 Miui 9.2 So after the soft update which I did yesterday i tried to allow Poweramp to delete music files but I suddenly realised there is no documents app anymore in the apps list. Any ideas what to do now? Not sure if I posted this in correct place. Still I hope to get an aswer.

Hi, I allways deleting tracks to create "Best of the Best" playlist. But deleting from the Poweramp a bit complex procedure. I have request to add new option in Headset buttons for deleting current track. For example: Current headset configuration: 1. One Click on the button - Play/Pause the track. 2. Two Clicks on the button - Next track. 3. Three Clicks on the button - Previous track. I allways use only first and second option. And for the third option i offer to add new option for deleting the track. So users can choose - "delete track" or "previous track" in Poweramp settings. Randomly delete the track would be very hard, because 3 clicks very complex combination. And for us it would cost no time to create "Best of the Best" playlist while listen to music. Also i request to add delete icon on main Poweramp window/widget.

Hi, I am on 2.0.10 build 588-play Full Version. and on 3.0 beta! I accidently created a playlist of nearly 100.000 titles. I can not delete this list. When I push the "x" button PA waits a few seconds and goes then to the main screen. The Playlist is still there. No big deal, but still a bug. I could help myself if someone would tell me where and in what format PA stores playlists. Seems to be a mystery. I created a playlist and then looked for the name in my explorer, without success. My device is rooted.

Hello! First off, thank you for a great app! Been using it since version 1! I have a question for you about a feature to add. I can delete my music files directly off the sdcard from the folder mode and the album mode. However, in playlist mode, I can only remove the song from the playlist. Is it possible to be able to delete files from the sdcard, directly selected from the playlist? Thanks!

Hi Everyone! I would find it really useful if there was an easier way to delete tracks. I think the best way to do this that I could think about is to have a programable gesture linked to deleting, for example, have swipe up delete the track instead of playlist change (you could choose what swiping in any direction would do in the menu somewhere, but have changing tracks\lists the default) The reason for this is that I am a DJ and I sort through thousands of songs on the go and it would be nice to be able to delete tracks without entering the settings tab and confirming. Even better would be delete linked to bluetooth headset commands but maybe this isn't possible!

I would appreciate a quick delete button on the play screen. I ride a motorcycle and often want to get rid of old music as I go. Thank you.

Please make it possible to delete current playing song, without need to get the phone out of pocket. Just like switching songs, you could make an option to delete songs, by pressing headset button 5 times or something like it. It would be really convenient.

I have searched the forums and not found a definite answer on my issue. When I delete songs from my playlist (not from the actual memory card) they return if I either A. Reload the playlist or B. Add songs to an existing playlist. I seem to experience this problem with 2 devices that I use. Samsung Galaxy S4 (Verizon - 4.2) and Droid Bionic (Verizon - 4.1) I am currently using Poweramp version 2.0.9-build-541-arm-play (Full Version) The only workaround that I can do is completely delete the file on my phone which I do not wish to do. Any resolution or feedback would be appreciated.

Hi can anyone help me, my scan was set to scan every file and folder, I have no idea why my settings changed but I deleted a number of items I knew weren't songs what I didnt realise was that they were videos with sound that I was deleting and now I have lost them altogether from gallery and video player, they are extremely important to me, for sentimental reasons, is there anyway I can get them back. Please any help is appreciated.

Could you please allow us to have an option to delete on the lock screen

I have an Android HTC Desire phone with Poweramp. Poweramp has been running fine for at least 6 months and I'm very happy with its features. Today an attempt to sync my music from MediaMonkey to Poweramp on the phone seems to have gone disastrously wrong. The memory on the phone card has been filled up to the brim although the amount of music in MediaMonkey wouldn't have justified this. I now want to delete all the music from the phone to start over again. How do I do this ?
