Ive had the app for over 12 years, and i love it. it would get a 5 star if they would stop updating it. every time they do, I noticed that songs go missing from both playlists and the app altogether. having thousands of songs makes it impossible to know what's missing until I want to listen to it and it's not there. also, my audio settings get all messed up and back to default (which sucks) and I have to mess around with it all over again. I wish it would save ur settings

Thanks for your long-term support. This can happen if library rescan or storage access changes after updates. Try: * Lock folders in Library settings * Disable auto rescan * Export settings (backup) Settings reset or missing tracks can also be due to Android storage changes or bugs.

Update 04/26 - when playing a strem the app cuts off any song titles at the first dash (-). ----- Great so far! doesn't play well with m3u links though. However, the real issue is, while play streams (think Shoutcast) and a phone call comes in, the app pauses playback. when the call ends, Powersmp resumes playback, but it has lost the buffer. it eventually just switches to the next stream in the playlist. It needs to rebuffer instead of either resuming or erroring out and switching streams.

Been a paid user for years, but I can't make poweramp work for me. The audio config options are great, but can't make up for a UI/UX that is nothing short of deranged. Ex: I search for "Imagine" by Lennon, find it, then tap to play. What plays next though? Poweramp gives only 2 options: "filtered", which is all the other songs in my library with the word "imagine" in them, or "all", which is every one of the 80,000+ songs on my phone, in alphabetical order. Both of these are worthless.

Playback follows current list context. After search, it uses: * “Filtered” = search results * “All” = full library To play just one album/artist, open it first, then play. Queue management could be clearer - noted for improvement.
