night Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Hi, my first post here. I'm installing a tablet in my car as the head unit and after going through about a dozen different players I've just about settled on Poweramp. The UI/ease of use is pretty good as is for this purpose. I love and pretty much have to have the album/folder, but I am really wishing it only showed individual artists that you could then click and open up a new tiled album list all the albums by that artist. My 2nd wish is an option/toggle to simplify playing full albums. Disable long press opening a sub menu and make it directly start playing all of its songs. I don't believe I'm missing anything with these ideas but I tried v2 quickly and then went to v3 alpha to see the visualizer, so sorry if I missed an already existing feature that is not yet ported over.

andrewilley Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 If you are using folders, I assume you have one folder for each artist, and within those folders are separate subfolders for their albums? If so, Heirarchy View (from the Folders screen, tap Menu > List Options) will do what you want. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
night Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Yes, but that isnt full tiled view with the big album art. Might as well use the file manager cuz that is basically all that is. I would very much like that same functionality in the folder/grid view or album view (sorry, didn't know the correct terms used in the app for my first post). Full size, 4 across album art with a hierarchical view would clean up the list and make it much quicker to find what you want. Keeping in mind this is for HU use.

andrewilley Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 You are correct in that Grid view does not support drill-down hierarchy folders, they are all displayed in sequence (the sorting order can be to to By Path though, which will at least group everything by one artist together). The Library modes won't help you either I'm afraid, as the is no concept of 'artist' artwork within Poweramp (only track/folder artwork) so Grid view would not be useful there. So it's still a Feature Request I'm afraid. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
night Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Ya, sorry, I meant to address that too. I thought of the image problem, but forgot to mention it. A simple fix imo would be to use the earliest Album art. Seems like a safe bet to me that any artist's first Album is their most recognizable. This should be pretty easy with tag info.
