Playing albums

[sajewi]

Hi,

 

I am trying to play albums in full, the albums are shuffled but songs within the albums are played in order. To do this I start playing an album and when playing have Advance List and Shuffle Lists selected. This works fine while and plays shuffled albums but when I stop listening for a number of hours/days and then start again the player will start from where I left off but while playing will then revert to  playing individual songs which are shuffled.

 

How do I set up the player to play albums (with the songs on the album played in order) but shuffle the albums?

 

Thanks

Ok, try to set shuffle mode to Shuffle Lists (tap and hold on shuffle icon to get options, same for repeat icon) and set repeat to Advance List. see how it works for you.

I think I may have sorted this. I was using an app called EasyPhoneTunes on my Mac to synchronise music from iTunes to my phone. This copied the music but put the album folder within an artist folder. I have removed the albums from the artist folders which seems to have resolved the issue. So when using the app I had Artist folder/album folder/tracks, I have changed this to album folder/tracks.

So if you are thinking of using EasyPhoneTunes with Poweramp beware.

Try my Playlist Manager by theoklink on Google Play as this will create randomly generated playlists for either whole albums or tracks.

 

(effectively your shuffle requirement). It does a lot more though!! create playlists from whole folder structures or many mp3 tags.
