vetdoctor Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 In the view shown I hit the farm play button on the top to pause the music and the track junks back to the point it started instead of pausing. The play button on the bottom does pause the music. Thanks, Great App!

The play button on the bottom does pause the music. Feature, not bug. The miniplayer below is used to stop and restart the currently playing song.

andrewilley Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 The Play button at the top of any songs list is intended to start playback from the beginning of that list (e.g. Play whole album from start). The button in the miniplayer controls playback of the current track, play/pause/etc. Andre Link to comment https://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/16132-unexpected-play-button-action/#findComment-67936 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vetdoctor Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 Thanks for the help. I can see it being a feature but I hope you can appreciate that, from a user viewpoint, having a button do something other than what the label says is confusing. Kinda like finding you need to pull on the door marked "push" as a safety feature.

andrewilley Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 The icon at the top of the album list says Play - what did you expect it to do other than play the album? The miniplayer at the bottom controls the currently playing song.

vetdoctor Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Fair question... I open the app, go to the album and click on play. Shortly after I need to pause the song so I open the app and, of course, click the same play button again expecting it to pause, instead it jumps to the beginning. After several tries I realize there is a second, harder to see, play button at the bottom. Of course, that one works. This user was fooled by not expecting two buttons on one screen, both with the same markings but with different functions combined with the (on my phone) the white player on the white background. You're the expert though so you can decide if this is a one off or a problem. I appreciate the attention you have given my comments .

vetdoctor Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Ok, as I play more with the app I realize when I tap the mini player button it changes to shoe the pause symbol. On the top player it stays showing the play symbol. I should have thought of what that means.

It does rather do what it says on the tin...
