IBeniaminI Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Currently, Poweramp Music Player only allows basic functions such as deleting, and renaming files within a single folder. However, the absence of an option to move music files across folders makes the process of reorganizing my music library a bit harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Poweramp is not intended to be a file explorer app, it is a music player. The only internal file handling task is the ability to delete specific files. The Folders Heirarchy view is not actually a folder explorer at all, it merely shows songs in the Music Library based on what folders those songs are contained within. No other non-music content is displayed. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBeniaminI Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 it could be easily implemented, but sadly it won't, because nobody knows why... if you can delete a file, how hard is it to move a file within Poweramp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a typical file browser app can do this function already, why should it be a part of a dedicated music player app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Poweramp is not a file manager, hence it doesn't have full directory access. It only knows of the existence of the specific audio files that it has previously scanned from your defined Music Folders. Plus there are already probably hundreds of requests that are more related to music playback which need addressing first, without trying to turn the app into something that it isn't - and which is very well supported by more suitable apps already.

andrewilley Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 No worries, it's here in the Feature Requests topic anyway so maybe at some point in the future that may change. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
