invaderzim Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 18 hours ago, Absinthequ said: Maxmp would have to create a whole new option just for this category. Artist label always shows in Album Artists category for tracks. Reasons: 1. Compilation albums - logically PA doesn't recognize the name of the folder of various artists' tracks, hence when viewing via Album Artists category they are scattered. My solution: I edit all songs' Album Artist tag in the folder to VA or Various Artists, or sometimes just to be specific, FolderName VA first in my laptop then upload to my phone. 2. With #1 above, leaving Artist tag as it is for the track/s I would know the said Artist but then again playing via AA category only shows the AA tag coz that is how it was designed to be. We get it. 3. We implore you @maxmp to give us a chance to have an option as @Absinthequ detailed above, in order for the main player, list, notification panel, and other sections of the app I might've missed to include to show the Artist tag when playing via Album Artist category. 4. The Album Artists category has a much consolidated look for albums by artists plus the fact that we can shuffle/play all of the Artist's songs in one tap wherever the actual physical folder of that Artist is saved in the storage. It doesn't need to be specifically in /storage/album/artistalbum1... 2... 3... Etc. Unlike the Folders or Folders Hierarchy category. Hope I got this clearer as I also made a feature request but didn't get any response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gork Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 If I use Google Play Music then close it down and switch to Poweramp, sound from Poweramp will not play through my Bluetooth headset. I can still control volume and track advance, but sound only comes through my phone speaker. I have tried various things (dis/reconnecting the headset, changing SmartThings settings & even disabling SmartThings, turning Bluetooth for the phone off and back on etc) in an attempt to get the sound playing through the headset again but the only thing I've found that works is rebooting the phone. But once I use Google Play Music again the problem returns when I try to use Poweramp again afterwards. This hasn't been a problem until recently, 815 I think, but Google Play Music also released an update earlier this month. However, I use both apps on a daily basis and haven't noticed this problem until very recently - perhaps 2 or 3 days ago. I use both Poweramp (815) and Google Play Music on my Galaxy S9+ so I can run two playlists and keep the current location (playing song) for both lists.

Try Settings / Audio / Advanced Tweaks / toggle On "Force Speaker Off" Thanks! So far this seems to work - and yes, Hi-res. I'll post back in the next few days if further testing proves problematic. Curious as to the change requiring this setting to now solve a problem which didn't seem to be there before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w3wilkes Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Please have the Album Artist view of a selected album honor the "Album Artist Label..." settings in Library -> Lists. Just for grins name the track artists for these displayed tracks off the top of your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supcube Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Can something be done for sorting by title. Currently numbers like 100 appear before numbers like 2 or 42. I think Poweramp is sorting based on the first digit instead of the entire number. I also link an image showing this. This didn't used to be in v2.

One would have to introduce a sorting option that takes a format string like the Unix sort command does. As to the screenshot : what were your sorting options ?

Please don't confuse the Album Artist tag in the Album Artist category. The Album Artist tag will always be Various Artist, Various or how you name the tracks in the compilation album/folder. If you will read my post above what you want is also my request to Max. It is simple, have an option to enable Artist label always shows in Album Artist category for tracks. This way we see the Artist despite being on the Album Artist category, same as your image above. This will be true to the main player, notification panel and other locations in the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eserim Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Hi Early testing is looking good with my gapless issues - brilliant - more testing when I'm back at work and using it all day. One other issue - the small "What's Playing" thing on this screen, occasionally shows a totally wrong track - see below- the FLC Track shown wasn't what was playing and hasn't been played for some time! Not a huge issue at all really now that the gapless issue seems to have been sorted Many thanks - I'll report back only if gapless issues reappear on further testing!

redlith Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 notice some irregular display of elements. i'm using build 815. whenever i'm adjusting the knob ,the value zooms in until it can't be seen. not only the l/r output but also stereo expansion and volume knob. refer to his thread: https://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/16058-several-very-obvious-bugs-have-been-found-please-fix-them/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how it can be done, i don't know about coding, but i know it can be done since that's how it worked in v2. I have also seen gallery apps like QuickPic that have a toggle in the settings for things like that. In the screenshot i posted i have it sorted by Year, since this artist has multilple albums are released on the same year Poweramp's second criteria of sorting is by Name.

maxmp Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 Poweramp v3 supports same sortings as v2 and adds more. It continues to support track number infered from filename, but actual track # in tags takes priority over filename number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplio Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 V815 updated today on my device. Sounds really good. Sound is 99% of a music player in my view..the rest is just visual aid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V3 does indeed support the same sortings as v2 but they work differently or they are bugged. In the image i posted before i show the albums of a certain artist, therefore filenames have nothing to do with the problem, neither do the track #. My problem is when in a list that is sorted by title, and the titles have numbers, numbers like 100 would be between 1 and 2; instead of 100 being after 2, which would align with regular numerical conventions. I personally would like it to function the way andrewilley mentioned before, that is, in the same vein as Windows Explorer, where strings of consecutive numbers are treated numerically for sorting purposes.

As Max said, this is the same as v2 as far as I know. Are you saying V2 provided natural numerical sorting, rather than simple character-accurate ASCII sorting?

maxmp Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 @supcube thanks for the screenshot, but Poweramp (any version) doesn’t sort as you’re expecting it, it sorts by track tag (numeric tag) if appropriate sorting (by track#) is selected in List Options for given list. IF tags are missing from the song, Poweramp will substitute file name number into track field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
