snape Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I recently found that Poweramp is downloading Artwork to internal memory on my phone with KitKat. Is there a way to set it to download to SD card instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 No, with KitKat, Google prevented apps from getting write-access to SD Cards. Downloaded art is stored in Poweramp's data folders now to avoid this issue. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snape Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 I don't think this is true, because with another App called "ES File Explorer" I can copy files to the SD card. Or, am I wrong? Also, I moved Poweramp to the SD card. Doesn't that mean it should use the data folder on the SD card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Yes, ES File Explorer somehow circumvents the KitKit restrictions on some devices - or if your device is rooted you can do it easily enough too. Otherwise, apps are only allowed write-access to their own data folder on the SD Card (Android\data\com.maxmpz.audioplayer as far as I recall). See http://support.powerampapp.com/knowledgebase/articles/326024-can-t-edit-delete-files-on-sd-card-android-4-4 for more info. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
