Some questions about Poweramp (v2)

[MC23]

Hello everyone, as the title says I'm here to ask a few questions about Poweramp...

1) One thing I'd like to know is: when I shuffle music and I enqueue a track, is it possible to make the shuffle continue - after the enqueued track has ended - without starting again from one?

2) When I receive a notification (WhatsApp or others apps) Poweramp stops playing the track for few seconds, how do I solve this? (My mobile is Huawei P8 Lite 2017)

3) Is there a way to reproduce every song at the same level?

4) How do I export the ratings of the tracks? 

Thanks in advance to those who'll help me

1) When PA finishes with the queue, you should be returned to shuffled playback with a new random song.

2) Poweramp v3 supports volume ducking for notifications.

3) ReplayGain would be your best option, as long as your files are tagged correctly.

4) You can't from PA. You can via third-party apps such as New Playlist Manager from the Play store though.

If we are talking Poweramp v2, the Free New Playlist Manager has the ratings export for the Poweramp legacy versions. Once you move on to Poweramp v3, you will need the paid version to import / export

First of all, thanks to both of you for the answers. 

 

For point 1: yes it does. Let me explain what I meant with an example. Imagine I have an album with 5 songs (titled "One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five") that I decide to shuffle.  PA plays "Three", "Two". Then, I decide to enqueue a track from another album, and after the track has ended PA doesn't remember he has played already "Three" and "Two", so it starts again playing all of them shuffled. I don't want this to happen, any solution?

 

For points 2, 3 and 4 I think I don't have any more questions. I'll upgrade to v3 as soon as the beta ends (ETA?) and, having the paid version of the app, I shouldn't have any problem exporting playlists' ratings.

I've checked in v3 (in which the Queue system works slightly differently, and is still being tweaked a bit). When playing a folder in "Shuffle Songs / Lists in Order" mode, if I jump our from a six-track album at position 3 of 6 in order to listen to a different queued item, when the queue finishes it then returns to the original shuffled album at 4 of 6, which sounds like the behaviour you want.

PA v3 is at Release Candidate stage now, you should be fine installing it for daily use.

Hello there, I've installed v3 and I can confirm queueing system works as I wanted, thanks! I have some questions about v3, but I'll make a new topic in the right section.

 

Thanks!
