it says failed to play then it goes to failed to play too many

[Rich Pratt]

How do I fix this?

You don't provide a lot to go on. Was this working and has suddenly stopped, or is it a new install? If it was working before, has anything changed recently (new or renamed folders, etc)? What device, Android version, Poweramp version, etc? Files on internal memory or SD Card? Have you read the FAQs?

I promise I will click Mark when I am done still working on it I am now changing my phone customization off and seeing if I can change permissions for this app or maybe even the trial version won't play mp3s

(Legacy mode) worked.

 Thank you Alex

Hello, ☰ Settings / 📁 Library / Music Folders - select folders and give appropriate permissions as needed ☰ Settings / 📁 Library / Full Rescan Alternatively, ☰ Settings / Misc / File Access Legacy Mode (and then reselect Music Folders if needed).  Please note that Google doesn't allow root of the storage or Downloads folder to be selected on the recent Androids for the "security" reasons. You can do: 1. select other subfolders, including /Music, subfolders in /Downloads 2. or enable "Legacy File Access" + select /Downloads in Music Folders selection
