codenumb Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I lost my downloaded album art and edited info/tag of files every time I reinstall Poweramp. Please add an option to embed the edited info/tag and downloaded album art to the music file itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobill Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I want that too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charmicat Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I was going to request this feature but it seems somebody already did. I want it too, it would help reducing the amount of messages shown on Android's picture gallery while still retaining the download of missing album art feature!

maxmp Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 @Charmicat what messages do you mean? Poweramp uses (hidden from gallery) internal cache folder for album art. As for embedding, there are 2 problems with that: 1. legal. Using album art from internet is OK but embedding may violate some countries copyright laws. 2. technical, as if we embed images en-masse on the mobile device and Poweramp is killed by system, we'll get corrupted file (esp. if that is huge flac, ape, etc. file or file located on slow sd-card).

MotleyG Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I have to say that I have spent uncountable hours/years managing my music file tag information and cover art. This was done on my main PC where my library is stored and backed up separately. I copy this to a uSD card for use with PA on my phone. I have no desire to have PA edit or manage this content specifically for the reasons @maxmp mentions. If this is changed, please make sure it is optional and defeatable.

andrewilley Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 From the technical point of view the safest option would be to write out a temporary file, and only once is has been confirmed as fully completed do you delete the original and rename the temporary file back to the original's filename.

Using it is encouraged, modifying it is not something I ever want. So it should be optional and by default disabled if such a feature ever comes.

So that users can restore or import them whenever they reinstall PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
