This build is also available on Market.
2.0 is the next major release and a free update for everyone, who purchased Poweramp Full Version Unlocker.
You can downgrade back to 1.4 by downloading it from official Poweramp site.
Changelog (v1.4 => v2.0):
Audio Engine:
- Direct Volume Control for new Android 2.3+ sound system where available. Direct Volume Control results in volume level equal (or higher with positive preamp) to stock player, but with the Equalizer/Tone enabled
- re-tuned equalizer/tone controls for Direct Volume Control (gives a larger range of distortion-free sound, deeper basses)
- output limiter. Ensures distortion-free sound even on extreme equalizer/tone amplification levels
- support for .mpc (sv7/sv8), .aif/.aiff
- replay gain support for all supported formats which support Replay Gain (mp3, mp4/m4a, flac, ape, wv, tta, ogg, mpc) (most effective with Direct Volume Control)
- stereo expansion effect (Stereo X)
- mix-to-mono, balance
Library/Folders:
- custom complete Library/Media Scanner implementation, 10x-100x scan speed comparing to system library tag scanner

any plans on making the hardware volume buttons for next/previous tracks on a click , long press volume +/- ?
having this feature would make poweramp the ultimate music player on android and puts all competitors behind.
thank you.
I can' repeat all songs (just advance list, one song or list). Please give me back this option.
While playing All Songs, list is "All Songs", thus this repeat mode will repeat all songs.
Thanks!
This was the best player. Im Running cm7 latest Evo 4g. Worked before the update. I will be downgrading. Ill try again later.
2.0 is an awesome improvement imho, only bug ive noticed is when i repeat list and swipe through the tracks, when it loops to the beginning the album art is blank.
I have a new Samsung Tab 10.1 Wifi only w honeycomb 3.1 and could not get my WMA music files to play – I purchased power amp which said it did support but may need neon support for some – well sofar out of 200 song i uploaded to tab only one plays – I am new to android and poweramp (a windows guy at heart) – I don't know wha the neon support mentioned is all about — willing to learn help? "Murph"
Previous version was almost perfect. Just got back to it. Sorry but too many things I don't like in 2.0. Could you please try to put the old interface back as an option in this new release?
1.4 is still available for download on this site.
Also, you can just install "PowerAMP Classic Skin" from Market to get 1.4 looks.
Thanks!
Could you please consider an option to use the previous UI (1.x version) in a future release. I get the new UI may be better for some, but I use PowerAMP to play music in my truck while driving. In the previous version, using my phone (Samsung Stratosphere) in landscape mode in my car dock, the controls were big and easy to see without taking my eyes off the road. Now I find the UI awkward to use without being too distracted — I don't use album art at all, so mostly my screen is a big blank black screen with the controls tucked down in the corners. Not real useful
OTOH, I love the swipe gestures — I use those all the time, its very easy to change tracks without having to look at the phone. And PowerAMP is one of the few Android players I've found that lets me work from folders like how I have my music arranged, instead of playlists.
I paid for the previous version and if you manage fix the UI issues I mentioned with 2.0, I'd be happy to donate again, as I still think this is hands down the best music player for Android.
Thanks for the request, but PowerAMP Classic skin was published on Market the same day PowerAMP 2.0 was.
The new version is awesome! Has also the sound performance been improved or is it just me? Also, how do you adjust/select the repeat of folder/song/all songs in this version?
I loved being able to swipe through my folders from the main screen in 1.4. This update seems to have removed that capability, I can't find the option to enable it. My music is organized in a way that makes the library counter-intuitive, and making a playlist for each folder defeats the purpose. It also removes the only reason why I bought this app over others.
The gestures themselves also seem to be more picky, the shuffle/rating overly shows up more than it takes the gesture.
You can switch folders and other lists by vertical gesture. Note that list navigation is not possible for "all songs" and "shuffle all".
Thanks!
Great new features, but adding songs to library is more complicated than before AND I miss the smaller lock screen widget (4×2), because now you have to pull out the whole smartphone to see the track title and skip tracks via the controls. Can you please integrate the 4×2 lockscreen widget back again? That would be great!
What happen to "Shuffle Current Artist"?
It's there (Shuffle List mode).
Thanks!
Alright!!!, have previous version, Installed V2 yesterday…to Incredible S. Excellent! Now the best Music player… Hands down!
Long-awaited update. Thank You!
Hello, first of all I would like to say that the app is great, really like the new features. Only problem I have is that I loved the previous interface look over this updated version, ie: eq at the bottom corner, volume shortcut.
Is there any way to get this interface back without downgrading back to the older version? I would love to keep the new album art animations along with the simple selection of covers. Possibly as a theme?
Please help me out! Thanks.
Hello
South Korea's poweramp users.
Please understand English well can not do.
Update is great. But there is one problem.
In the folder list, I want recently updated the song is located at the top.
But the latest files are located at the bottom.
I am in the list option by date added, reverse, but the selection
reverse did not function.
After checking answers please.
Hello.
I am user from Russia and I face the same problem issue. Every time I have to scroll down till the end of the list to choose the last added tracks… It would be better if they are at the beginning of the list.
Thank you.
