Delete button on a lock screen widget

[wax]

Poweramp has wonderful feature - it allows to delete file from SD card with Delete button. However, to delete a file I have to:

1. Unlock screen

2. Open Poweramp player

3. Call application menu

4. Push Delete button

I guess, it could be much more convenient if you add some kind of menu to locking screen widget which is opened by a long tap so that this menu contain 'Delete' item. Than it would be easier to delete current song:

1. Long tap on a lock screen widget

2. Select Delete menu item.

This is the one feature that is keeping this player from beating another player for me. I drive all day, every day, and tend to add large blocks of music (mostly whole albums) at once. While driving it would be great to just hit 1-2 quick buttons and never have to skip a particular song again. but because i have to be carefull while driving i have to use a different player to do that. i really like Poweramp and would rather use it, and do while not driving.

In short, please do this!!!!! Probably have to be an optional lock screen item. And a possibility would be to have a button for delete, with a slider-confirmation to eliminate risk of pocket deletions.

I'd rather not make it that easy. Clumsy thumbs n all, however it wouldn't be a problem as an option.

Using star ratings may be a workaround for the time being, rate the song you want to delete with a single star, you can then later (such as after your drive) open up power amp, sort all songs by star rating, and delete with ones with just 1 star

That is a possible idea, will try. this also brings us to the other request about using the persistant ratings in the id3 tags. although with over 150 views of this topic, it seems like there may be enough interest to actually implement it, i hope.

This is a function, I also miss very much.

Until now I did the version with one star, but deleting it immediately is much better!

What about a menu, (on lockscreen and app), which you can personalize. So you would be able to reach easily your functions, you like.

For example, deleting the current song, putting it into a special playlist or what ever.

thanks and bye

The star rating idea kind of works. The stars are a little small to be trying to hit without looking though. i am driving a 100 foot long semi, the last thing i want to do is kill a bus full of kids while trying to get rid of an annoying song, lol. i have just accepted that i will have to listen to some bad songs a few times before i am in a position to label them for deletion, and have to use both the 1 and 2 star ratings for deletion so i can miss a bit and still succeed. there is a nice empty bar on the tp of the screen that could hold a button or 2 though.
