[admin]

Apps utilizing PowerAMP API can:

[*:uerp5mi7]control PowerAMP playing engine


[*:uerp5mi7]start track (file on sd card/external storages, system library media file by ID, folders file by ID), start playing any PowerAMP list (by IDs/category provided)
[*:uerp5mi7]issue next/prev > track or next/prev category >> commands
[*:uerp5mi7]pause/resume/stop
[*:uerp5mi7]seek track


[*:uerp5mi7]change PowerAMP shuffle/repeat modes

[*:uerp5mi7]get current track details


[*:uerp5mi7]title/album/artist/codec/duration/bitrate/etc info
[*:uerp5mi7]album art
[*:uerp5mi7]type, category, category id and file id, other useful flags and details
[*:uerp5mi7]track playing position

[*:uerp5mi7]send new eq settings to PowerAMP

[*:uerp5mi7]add information in PowerAMP Album Art area in main screen (so called AA Widget)


[*:uerp5mi7]can be anything what is supported by RemoteViews, i.e. anything what is possible for home screen app widgets
[*:uerp5mi7]PowerAMP manages multiple AA widgets allowing user to switch between them or close them

[*:uerp5mi7]change album art bound to track
[*:uerp5mi7]utilize PowerAMP tag scanner/editor
