TeflonDog Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I've found a few posts on here complaining about Poweramp's problems playing FLAC files. None of the posts have replies and the problem appears to be ignored. Does the developer think the problem will just go away if they don't address it? I also can not play FLAC files that ALL work fine in ALL of the other music players I have tried. Even the FREE music players. I've paid for Poweramp and I want to use it as advertised. And it is advertised as playing FLAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Try sending one of the files that you are having trouble with to the developer for testing, otherwise it's hard to track down what your issue is. Also, what bitrate and sample size are you using? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeflonDog Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Thanks for your reply. some are 16-bit, some 24-bit. All are 44.1 kHz. I don't see the point in sending files to the dev because ALL my flac albums disappear. I can rescan my folders and they get added to the library, i am then able to see them and play them, but then they just disappear again. They play FINE in FOUR other music apps. the problem is obviously NOT the files. The problem is Poweramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blheems Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I play FLAC (and mp3) files all the time and they don't disappear on me. Sounds like an interaction between.PA and your (OS) file system. My systems are stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davin Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 In my case, FLAC tracks in my playlist were bombing completely. They weren't "vanishing", but Poweramp was giving up on shuffle attempts because it would fail to play ten tracks in a row. The solution was to open the Folders view. For some reason the latest build of Poweramp (2.0.9-build-554-play) was detecting tracks in the data directory of another application. (admittedly a dead one that I should have removed a long time ago) In my case, these were all subfolders of /newsrob. These folders do not actually contain audio files, but browsing them with Poweramp was showing me the names of my previously scanned FLAC tracks. It wasn't that the files in the correct folders could not be played, but the track database was jacked. Doing a Full Rescan did not fix the problem. I ended up having to manually exclude the /newsrob folder from my scans. Things are back to where I expect them now, but this was definitely a strange bug.

andrewilley Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 For most advanced users, it is generally better to manually select just those folders which contain your music (in my case, just one on my external card) rather than letting Poweramp auto-scan the whole of your phone. Otherwise you end up with ringtones, notifications and even game sounds in your Poweramp music lists. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassroots Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I am glad I found this thread with some responses for FLAC play back issues. The new thread I started titled- 96 KHz 24 bit received no replies. I have a high res folder containing FLAC 96- 24 files and the files dint show up. Strangely today when I opened the folder, one file 192- 24 bit showed up and I managed to play the file! Seeking answers from senior users. thanks Further To Add - All FLAC files 192/24 are recognised and played by Power amp.Not recognising any of the FLAC 96/24 in the same folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewilley Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Are the 96/24 files encoded by different software I wonder? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassroots Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Possible, they are from a different album. Most other players are able to identify and play it,the file extension is flac. Will the encoding software make such a difference? will have to ascertain this. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyetmolina Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Hi, I am also having trouble with FLAC albums. Some of the tracks are dumped in a .cue file and are played in the end of the list. They appear perfectly in order when viewed in file manager. is this just a setting issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 If you can, please send your .cue file and the description how exactly files are played wrong to you to poweramp.maxmpz@gmail.com.Cue files sometimes can be parsed wrong (or not like in app) due to errors in them or bad encoding or due to the similar reasons.Thanks!
