Forget Poweramp. I'm glad to know @maxmp is not dead. He lives, breathes and capable of typing a post. ;)

Closed beta = not you. It'll be for a couple of people no one knows and maybe andrewilley (doubtful). They'll swear they have it and claim it works. We'll get reports about more issues need resolving. Maybe a public release cometh April... 2019.

In regards to the album art screen shot, looks like debug material there. I'm sure some or all the badges can be toggled off.

Many people have been waiting for an update for two years, then a closed beta is expected to be distributed to people who have always said yes and amen, regardless of the fact that it is difficult after a year of silence to take this seriously. Let us surprise.

I think it will always be possible to sideload the apk. Heck ill be even happy to use the beta, giving reviews would be the bonus perk?

I would hope that beta availability will be reasonably large, it would make no sense to limit it to just a couple of people as the whole point would be to find out any esoteric issues that only show up in wider general use. It won't be released via the Google Play beta route yet though.

Well, seeing almost all Oreo devices have lost Hi-Res support on the alpha, I just hope that it's not just a user interface update.

Max saying all the underlying is still the same does not fill me with hope so I will probably stick with Neutron untill hi-res support is there again for SD835 chipsets on Oreo.

There are so many hi res alternatlves out there, it just seems like almost a loosing battle if that part hasn't been fixed.

Max has said that high-res compatibility with more recent devices (include Oreo updates) will be included in this upcoming beta release.

I do not need a jumping-jumping interface, I need a sound. I can not even imagine why such an interface is needed?

Dude ....I completely agree with you.. But then the UI seems to be really cool..  The animations particularly... It's really gonna make you feel good while using the app.... Definitely looks premium.... Max has done a really great job...

Personally I think a snazzy modern interface will draw a lot more users looking around in Google Play into using the app. It makes it look appealing.

However as a long-term user I've realised that the functionality of the interface, and having all the controls immediately available where I want them and when I want them (ideally without falling back on ambiguous gesture-based controls) is much more important, to me at least. And of course most people will listen to PA 99% of the time with the screen off anyway.

It seems to me that this is done so that sales in the market do not fall, another empty promise. If this is a working version, why would not Max upload it to the public? I'm 100% sure that there will be new excuses in April, then Max will say that we need to wait for a new version of Android, then again optimization and so on without end on the Möbius loop. I do not believe a single word, since Max completely discredited himself.

The market doesn't see any of this, or any promises, until it is released on the Play Store, so what is said here won't make a scrap of difference other than to the people who follow these forums (which is a tiny percentage of those who use Google Play).

I do wonder though, if you 100% don't believe anything said here, why do you bother wasting your time hanging around?

I wouldn't term it snazzy ...i mean max is still sticking to his roots and. Not using some premade material module which is common for most players on the store. The UI has evolved and even though buttons are your choice ..they are old school for most of the common users today
