Lucky Max Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago It would be amazing if there was a way to play music so that a skip would start a song at a random point in the playback, sort of like a radio. An even cooler way to implement this would be to have it bounce around "stations" that played in the background so that you could tune into them like a real one, sorted by category.

MotleyG Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago I really don't get what you are trying to say here. Poweramp is for playing your local music. Are you looking for a way to change tracks and start playing from somewhere in the middle of each song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Max Posted 17 hours ago Author Share Posted 17 hours ago Yes! Except not just the middle, but a random point in the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly seems like an audiophile-like requests maybe it can be part of the A-B Repeat option should that get voted up in that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago @Lucky Max Not quite sure why anyone would want their songs to start playing at random points somewhere in the middle? What would be the point? There is a Request for a more "radio-like" segue option though, to avoid songs that have sudden starts or abrupt endings from being cross-faded unnaturally.

Lucky Max Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago @andrewilleyThe point is novelty. At a certain point, you get used to hearing the first moment of every song. It's no doubt the best way to listen, but it gets old eventually. A random place in the playback exposes you to parts in your library that you forgot existed. I encourage you to try it manually by hitting shuffle, skipping, and then immediately tapping somewhere on the seekbar. If you've got as a large of a library as I do, you'll probably find it refreshing to hear those random moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotleyG Posted 5 minutes ago Share Posted 5 minutes ago I'd pass on this feature myself. This is never a way I would want to listen to my music. But if it is something that the developer can support some time as part of any similar feature I guess it couldn't hurt as an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
