Jeff Isaac Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Poweramp build-911-arm64 Pixel 3a XL Android 11 On the receiver in my car, the album title is being listed after the artist name in the artist field (ie: artist name album title) and the album title field is empty. During troubleshooting, I've tested several different players, (Foobar2000, Onkyo HF player, Rocket Player, N7, Neutron Player, Black Player, Jet Audio, Musicolet, AIMP...) all of which display the tags in the proper fields which would indicate there is no inherent issue with my receiver displaying the tags correctly. I'm not sure if this is a bug in Poweramp or if I've configured something incorrectly in the settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I seem to recall there used to be a setting to do this (for older devices which did not show album names) but I don't think it ever made it into PA v3. Can you test with another bluetooth device to see what that does? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Isaac Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 I remember that setting as well, which is why I was wondering if I didn't have something configured properly. I thought maybe I just couldn't find the setting. Unfortunately I don't have another bluetooth device that can display this tag info to test with. Thanks for the reply!

andrewilley Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I think we'll need some input from @maxmp on this, the setting used to be in the Headset/Bluetooth menu but it's not there now. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Jeff Isaac Posted September 22, 2021 Author Solution Share Posted September 22, 2021 I actually fixed it by clearing the app cache! Strange... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Isaac Posted October 17, 2021 Author Share Posted October 17, 2021 The problem came back after adding some new music to my phone, triggering a manual library scan, then adding all songs to a playlist and shuffling that playlist. This was all I did. I didn't change any settings. This issue appears to be intermittent, because I've done this exact thing many times without having the problem reoccur. This time I couldn't fix the problem just by clearing the app cache. I had to clear the app storage and reconfigure Poweramp. I did export my settings before clearing the storage, but importing those settings apparently just imported the problem back into Poweramp because the issue was still there. Manually reconfiguring did work though. Very strange little gremlin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Does seem odd. If you import the 'problem' settings file again, does the issue always come back? If so, perhaps you could upload it so Max can take a look? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Isaac Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 That's a great idea, but unfortunately I deleted it so I wouldn't restore it by mistake. If it happens again, I'll definitely test that and upload the file. Thanks for the advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any time I restore the 10-19-21 file, this will cause the issue, but restoring the earlier 10-17-21 settings file corrects the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Isaac Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 Same Poweramp build as above New phone, new OS. Pixel 5A Android 12 This settings corruption (?) issue happens quite often with this setup. Almost daily, without even doing anything inside the app. Just using the phone. For example: Things are displaying properly, restart the phone, now I get the issue. Go into the supermarket and use Google Keep Notes for my grocery list, come back to the car and find that I have the issue again... I did use this phone for a couple of weeks using Android 11 before 12 was released, and the problem only happened when I was manipulating things within the app as mentioned previously. Android 12 has significantly worsened the issue and now somehow, actions outside the app can cause the issue. I've done testing with quite a few other music players (Foobar2000, AIMP, Neutron, N7, Black Player, OTO Music, Rocket, Musicolet, etc...) to see if it has something to do with the head unit in my car when this issue is occuring with Poweramp, but none of the other players have issues displaying the data properly. I can always restore the 'good' settings to fix it, but I feel like I'm walking on eggshells with the app these days. Any ideas what's going on here, @maxmp?

Remco Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I have the same issue. Device: Pixel 3 XL OS: Android 12 (this already occurred when I was using Android 11) Car: Toyota Prius I’ll clear the cache before I get in the car next time, see if it helps.

MadagascarAdam Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I have the same issue (Album title not displaying in the album title field - that just says "Unknown Album" - but displaying after the artist name), with a new phone I just got (this never happened before on my previous phone): Current phone: Pixel 5a 5G OS: Android 12 Car: 2020 Toyota Corolla (Previously I had a Moto G5 and it had no problems displaying the album name in the correct field, not with this car or any other car.)
