Poweramp + player pro

[Shadymugen]

I like power amp but you could take some stuff from player pro, like album info and internet search for lyrics.

We already have internet search for Lyrics... Just not well implemented, but we're working on that for Poweramp 3.0

Also what do you mean by Album info?

Poweramp is definitely the superior player. The only feature I could imagine from Player Pro is the Artist Picture.

Maybe you could implement an option to download artist pictures automatically from a specific server or select the pictures manually.

I'm in the same boat here. I've paid for Playerpro, but it's player hasn't been fully updated in forever. I've been trying out your player and I love it! THe only thing that I see mising is the lyric support I so loved in playerpro.

I'm sincerely missing the option to either going into the menu and search in the app for lyrics then being able to save them; or just long holding on the image to get a mini menu with lyric search in it.

I see above that you are working on this for Poweramp 3.0, and I would love to try out the beta for that when you get it out

I'll be buying your pro app here very soon.

The User Interface of PlayerPro is something that Poweramp could get something from. While Poweramp is definitely superior in terms of customization and music, the UI is in my opinion still not as beautiful as the UI of PlayerPro which is just simple, clear and intuitive, while the UI of Poweramp is "just" intuitive. I would wish for a few features including:

• Artist Pictures in the Artist Menu (as with Album Covers)
  
• Background Picture for Lockscreen (maybe use the Artist Picture or custom pictures)
  
• A more direct connection to Google Now! (instead of starting the search function in Poweramp directly play the Artist/Song/Album)
  

Those would be my wishes for the future which i hope can be included sometime in a future release.

I hope that someone can maybe answer if any of these features are already in the works or at least planned in the near to far future, since Poweramp is my favourite music player! =)

Thanks for the requests. Better layout and more options for artists/lock screen is definitely in the works for 3.0 release. As for Google Now/Search integration - this is focused (by Google) on standard media library, Poweramp has separate one (to support all those additional formats, which are just non-existant to stock library), thus, searching with Poweramp integrated results causes massive duplications, though, we'll probably enable this too for 3.0.
