Asiaticdefense Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Ok the "Folders" tab doesn't seem like it's doing what I expected it to do. Select or play music at the parent/child folder level.ie. you can't select a user created folder containing music, and play it..Playerpro has a proper "Folders" selection mode but the sound quality sucks and they don't support gap-less playback or cross-fading.Please Please Please add a true "Folders" selection option, Please!

Asiaticdefense Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 navigate to the desired folder, long press the folder, in context menu select shuffle icon. Viola!Yeah but you cant navigate to the parent folders, only sub-folders containing the actual music files.I have all my edited (clean) music in one parent folder named "edited music".That folder contains 15 sub-folders with album artist names and in each sub-folder I have folders created and named with the "Album Title".The "Album Title" sub-folder contains the tracks.

tee_em Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 then change your default music folder to "/sdcard/external_sd/Music" itself, not checking both edited and uneditedbtw, i'd like to complain something on this part. why the SHUFFLE is the only option for playing every songs in a parent folderwhy i have to create stupid playlists or care about ID3 tags to listen an artist's discography in order? (i don't want to use queuing whatever list in this case)my previous MP3 player(which is file-tree-based-one. it was awesome) has only three options on repeating1.repeat this track, 2.repeat this folder, 3.repeat this folder including subfolders.and worked perfect'advance the list'? hell no! i never make any lists!

Asiaticdefense Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 then change your default music folder to "/sdcard/external_sd/Music" itself, not checking both edited and uneditedMy default music folder is "/sdcard/external_sd/Music" with sub-folders "Edited Music" and "Unedited Music"You don't understand. Folder mode is NOT true folder mode in Poweramp.All folder mode allows you to do is choose a album located in a folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folder mode is NOT true folder mode in Poweramp.All folder mode allows you to do is choose a album located in a folder. I don't get it. I have a lot of parent folders without actual music in them but with multiple sub-folders under them (in which i keep music) and i can select any parent folder and shuffle music from sub folders under that specific parent-folder. Maybe YOU don't get it. You need to LONG PRESS the parent folder itself, have you tried that?EDIT: Maybe oif you try making both "edited music" and "unedited music" your default folders (you can have multiple you know).Good luck anyway!

jgbrown54 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I am glad to see this post. I was wondering myself why Poweramp did not have nested folders. My only problem is that I can,t get to the Options menu. My device manufacturer has rurned off the Menu icon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
