ulao Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 When you pick an artist from the folder icon, you must next pick the album. Once you make the album selection you must then pick a song, is there a way to automaticly pick the first song. I just want to go artist-> album->play.

jkm Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I am looking for thus feature also. How do you just play a whole album. It seems to always shuffle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 To start playback from any view level (e.g. an Album title from within the Artists list, just long-press on that album title and select 'Play' from the menu) Set the Shuffle mode to OFF and Repeat mode to OFF and it should play the whole album and then stop at the end (using whatever sort order you have selected for that level).

ulao Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 hmm, can this be chaged? I know of you dont use this in there car, but my n7 is my car stereo and LOL, long pressing the screen, well... "ain't" going to work Setting the single press operation to defult to a user preferace woudl be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 No, sorry, as far as I know that's the only way it works. It does work OK on my S3 in the car by the way. Single-press of the folder opens the folder (or album/etc), while a long-press gives you the list of menu options. Pretty standard Android functionality to be honest. It's only two single taps though, first to open the folder/album and then the second to play the first track. You could ask Max if it could be added as an option, but nothing much seems to have happened with feature requests for a couple of years now while he's working on the new audio engine for v3.0.

ulao Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 long press in a car is near imposible unless you mean holding it? There is now way humanly posible to hold out one finger pressed to a screen while not moving away, up or down. I can do this at a light but not while driving. Right I understand its not posible now but I though this was the feature request section Ok so I guess I was rigbht about features not being considered. Maybe some day...

Yes, long-press as in hold the item for a second or so as opposed to a short tap, then the menu pops up. I don't mean long-press-and-hold while you drag your finger over a list. Try it and see.

ulao Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 LOL no no no, my tablet is fixed to my car, it does not come off while driving. Its built in to the dash Long press is no good for anyone with this set up. When I say hold I mean you are physicly holding the tablet and I can not do that.

Sorry, still not understanding why it is possible for you to use normal taps on the screen that built into your dash, but not to long-press (1 second) the same part of the screen?Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulao Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Try writing with a pen in a car without holding the pad of paper in the other hand. Just lay it dash of a car and dont use your palm of the writting hand to anchor the pen. You will NOT be able to write. Same is true with your finger. When the car is moving your finger moves up and down left and right. Once you press and start to hold dpwn you have to be perfectly still for 1 second. Its near imposible. Maybe you have the palm of your hand anchored to somthing? Either way, its just a request, i'd like to load an album as the defult action. Though as you mentioned I'll have to wait for 3.0 before I can feature will be condiserd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Works fine for me in my car, on a smaller screen than yours (Galaxy S3 sitting on a car mount) - once my finger is pressed onto the screen, friction stops it from moving for long enough (well, unless it's a really bumpy road anyway). But if not, just use the two-tap option. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulao Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 what is this wtap? Does that work interchangably ? Same problem would be present ( but less ). My screen ( nexsus ) is like ice, the screens have very little friction. Also my tablet is down below my hand level. When I touch it, its like at a 15 degree angle.

andrewilley Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 what is this wtap? Does that work interchangably ? By 'two tap', I mean tap once on the album within the albums list, and then tap on the first song to start it playing. That is an alternative method to long-pressing on the album in the list and then tapping on "Play" from the resulting menu. However, to be honest, if you are unable to easily perform any touch operations on your Android device while driving, then I would suggest the problem is not with Poweramp. I tend to find that my problem with in-car use is not keeping my finger held on one place on the screen, but having to look at the screen to correctly locate the button/item in the first place.

First, my issue is longpress only ( not touch operations ), second I never said the proble was with PA, I was asking for the defult action to be confugurable.
