sorry for not updating my review sooner. I see my question was answered a while ago. appreciate it. I would like to add a suggestion to the app. I would like to be able to toss 30 complete albums in a play list so I can just hit random. That would be awesome. This app is very good if you have a few hundred albums. The fact it finds the art is AMAZING. It organizes in various different ways making selections interesting. My personal current favorite is albums by YEAR. Feeling like 1974 DONE.

To fully stop Poweramp: 1. Disable Resume on Bluetooth and Respond to Buttons in Settings > Headset/Bluetooth. 2. Turn off Keep Notification in Settings > Look and Feel. This will prevent it from staying active or auto-resuming.

I have this running in the background for hours a day shuffling my library of opus files with 0 issues. Combo it with panoscrobbler to build up listens on lastfm and it's the best way to listen to music locally. the EQ is great for an audio nerd like me to tune it to a neutral response, it's something a lot of music players don't do very well so it's good to see at least one app get it right. if you're a dac person you might want to use usbaudioplayer instead, but I'm not so this works fine.

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.
