Poweramp as default player

[alex2173]

dear community, 

i work with esx explorer to share a drive with mp3 files on my android phone. i can't find a way to open the mounted drive in Poweramp. i can only open the files stored on the phone and on the sd card. 

i also try to open the mp3 files directly from the esx explorer. i get a dialog and can choose from several players - but not Poweramp. 

anyone an idea? thank you!

You need to have the external device mounted on your device's file system, then just tick that folder/location in Settings > Folders and Library > Music Folders. Then Poweramp can scan that location and add it to its library for playing.

thanks for your quick answer. 

i mount the drive with esx explorer, i can see all the files in the explorer. so i think the mount is working. in the music folders in Poweramp i have only the local drive of the android device and the sd card. no mount. also a refresh of the music folders don't work ... ?

what you suggest?

You need to have the external drive mounted for the regular Android file system to access, not just in one specific file explorer app. (Do you mean ES File Explorer by the way?)
