andrewilley Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 /storage/emulated/0/ is just Android's way of referring to the main internal memory of your device, so Poweramp has been told to look for (or had previously found music in) the Download folder in your device's internal memory. Try disabling (unticking) that folder in PA Settings > Library > Music Folders, as that ought to just be a temporary/transient folder for file downloads until you decide where to put them, not a music repository.

Demelza Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 Hey André It doesn't work when i do what you wrote I see this😔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 That doesn't look like a Poweramp display to me. Are you sure you went into Poweramp's Settings menu screen, and then selected Library and then Music Folders ? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demelza Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 Yes its is I have deleted all of the music now I can only send one screenshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Even without any music files on your device, you should be able to go into Settings (from your screenshot), and then choose Library and then Music Folders. You should see something like this, which you can drill-down into to tick or untick folders to tell Poweramp where your music is stored: I have only one folder for my music, so mine looks like this: Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewilley Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 The first screen you saw in PA was to enable access to storage, which used to be a simple prompt during first run of an app so I wasn't expecting you to suddenly see it during normal use. Has your phone recently updated itself to a newer version of Android, as those checks are a fairly recent change made by Google (mostly affecting Android 10 I though, which you did not mention). But yes, now you have proper access to the storage on your device, just untick everything you don't need so just the top-level folder(s) that contain your music are ticked. Then do a Full Rescan to clear out any remaining issues from before. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freedom to use my own property in exactly the way that I want to was one of my main reasons for me going down the Android route rather than getting an iPhone. Anyway, all sorted now, you should be fine from here on. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
