Hi max. I am Turkish translator. Where are you? I am without going the army, I would like to finish Turkish translation.
Thanks much. Best regards.
Hi there,
Fantastic player and all, said it before no issues whatsoever!
One Thing in the Changelog struck me like lightning:
- build-487: added ability to re-skin all Poweramp screens
Is that the long awaited Custom Theme support? I looked everywhere but couldn't find any information on that.
If it is, then why isn't everyone extatic about it?? That would be great!!
Thanks for the feedback.
Custom skin support is there from Poweramp v2.0.0. Build 487 added extra skinning abilities into the app.
We're still working on upcoming skin SDK which will allow 3rd party designers to create/modify Poweramp skins.
Need a dancing equalizer option where the album art would be (maybe even transparent over the art). Would loom awesome in my car dock. I think it could even be a paid option. Anyways, still love power amp!
Thanks for returning old SRS in 483/484! Now Im happy
Beats settings not appearing on HTC EVO 3D.. because its not a beats phone? I thought it would mean the new settinhs sound like the beats audio settings cause i would really like to try it on my dr dre studios
Poweramp just uses the effects already provided by HTC in ROM. So if beats is not there, Poweramp can't use it.
Thanks!
Would absolutely *LOVE* this app if it could somehow integrate with Google Music…
See all tracks entries in album view two times.. every track is two times visible..
rescan completely new all files.. doesn’t fix it..
:/
This can happen if your sd card has more than one paths (some samsungs do that). Please uncheck secondary sd card path in Poweramp settings => Music Folders. For samsungs, sd card exists as /mnt/sdcard/sd and /mnt/external_sd, please uncheck on of these.
Hello,
Love your player and I keep recommending it to everyone! There is one optoin I would like to have added though.
See, your statusbar icons all look superb on Gingerbread, but would be nicer on ICS if they were blue themeable.
Thanks.
its an amazing player
Poweramp is SO, SO good! ReplayGain, gapless/crossfading, nice UI*, the way it handles files, etc. I haven't used it much, but what I've seen is amazing!
Of course, there's a "but"… Sorry!
I would be using it as my main and only player if it only supported MP3 song rating tags! Of the dozen or so decent music players available for Android I've only been able to find one that supports song ratings properly. I WISH I could say that "one player" was Poweramp but alas it's one I'll leave unnamed. On the plus side, I've seen you (presumably) say song rating support is coming, but those posts were from a year ago.
* about the UI. I think the UI is nice, I really do. I'm not saying this to be mean or anything, but: the UI is, for all intents and purposes, almost exactly the same as every other player out there.
To drive at my point let me say this: ~90% of the time I'm in my car I'm listening to my phone play MP3s and at least 60% of the time my phone is playing MP3s it's in my car.
Cars and music players have gone hand-in-hand for at least the last 50 years, it's not going away. One thing that has changed is that modern music players (phones) aren't designed to be used while driving. Now, ANYONE can get on a soapbox and say "well you shouldn't be playing with your phone while driving". That is an easy argument, but it's missing the point – IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NO MATTER WHAT. If cars didn't come with radios these people would have a point, but the fact of the matter is they're blind to the realities of this facet of the world. I would also say that "driving" often times involves *stopping* which is a perfect time to "play with" a music player/phone in my opinion.
OK, this is getting long… sorry again. I pretty much use the play/pause, next, previous, and the rating stars on my players. That's seriously about it. If a player existed that prioritized these eight buttons I would pay almost anything to own it (as long as I got to test it out first – the long trial period: another great feature of Poweramp!). Album art, different equalizers, song information, visualizations/3D effects, and progress sliders are all nice but they honestly get very little attention from me. I have to imagine there are other people out there like me. Design a UI for car use and I'm sure you'll have a lot of happy customers.
Thanks for your time and great app!
this update removes the unlock license, settings and equalizer crashes the app
how can I save my customized equalizer settings if I need to clear data just to make it work =
Poweramp updates doesn't require any data reset, though Poweramp Downgrade can require this.
Thanks!
thx for the recent update. but still, under ICS4.0.3 (nexus s), when i turn on my bluetooth headset and connect to the phone, it does not automatically restarts playing the music compared to what I really enjoyed about this app when I was using gingerbread. it would be lovely if next update has this issue fixed.
I love the improved ICS integration but one thing that should be fixed is that the notification shouldn't disappear when paused. Instead, add a X button which stops PowerAmp and clears the notification, like the Google Music app
I have already mentioned this problem bit the latest update shows you did not improve it.In log it os mentioned that flac playing has improved but it still plays it as one single file with 45 min, it dows not recognise the cue file which I can play via aimp in pc.anyway please bring it in your next update.

How to change UI language?
Settings ->Look & Feel ->Misc -> Check 'Force English UI'
I can help translation to Traditional Chinese!
There's something wrong with Polish translation. When I want access seettings, equalizer etc, app force closes… Everything works fine when I swich system language info English (so app language is also English)
Please try the latest build.
The polish translation is full of bugs, as if the author did not understand the terms used. If possible, please remove it for the time being, so one can correct it. If you'd like I can make a review of the translation.
Please contact us @ poweramp.maxmpz gmail.com.
Thanks!
When I want access settints, eq etc, app force closes. I use in Russian Language.
Please try to reset Poweramp to defaults with Android Settings => Applications => Manage Applications => Poweramp => Clear data.
The built in player in Samsung's Galaxy SII supports delayed scrobbling via lastfm app. What i mean, is on track change i tend to skip many songs after 10-15 seconds of playtime. They won't get scrobbled on the built in media player, yet poweramp tends to do it anyway. Could you add a similar option to scrobble only after for example 75% (or adjustable) of the song had been played?
Poweramp uses scrobbling plugins and such settings (like scrobbling only when part of song is played) are in plugin settings.
Thanks!
Ok, that explains a bit.
Why haven't you implemented lockscreen controls and notification controls in ICS yet? PlayerPro has done it already.
Implemented in build 480.
I've had this product and have been using poweramp for 8 months, and after all these updates, I'm surprised nobody brought up the idea to have "<<" ">||" ">>" buttons in the drop down menu. I'm just saying, that makes changing tracks so much easier than having to open the app window every time, you know?
I have to admit though, this is a really good app! Highly customizable, and could even be considered for sub-professional use for those of us who are very particular in high quality music ( i.e.: flac files) though no support for ape files yet?
I am thinking of buying poweramp, but can it supports chinese simplified translation and korean? How can I add lyrics into the songs which I am playing just like the ipod, it would be great. And I too would like to have DHD and SRS working.
You can add lyrics by using media monkey
great update. and dvc? is that new feature in this update? why its not available in market anyway?
Hey, maxim! I was happy with PowerAMP until the recent updates screwed it up. I want to go back to the old version where DHD and SRS both worked. Now only DHD works but no SRS and its sucks! Why don't you release different versions for different models all using the same PowerAMP Pro unlocker? Where can I download old version. I am very disappointed with the new version just stopping SRS function in DHD all of a suddedn.
The version 2.0.5 indeed supports SRS/Beats for new HTC devices/ROMs. "Old" SRS/Dolby for HTC Devices on Android 2.2 is still supported as it was – that hardware HTC SRS support was never removed from Poweramp – it the HTC firmware that was updated, and Poweramp 2.0.5 now supports that new firmware now.
Thanks!
Hey Max! First of all thanks for the update! I also have a concern on SRS. I noticed a sound degradation with SRS enabled, compared to 2.0.4 release. The stress is shifted to the right, i.e. higher bass stands out, very poorly. Can it happen that 2.0.4 and 2.0.5 use "different" srs under the hood?
Incredible S, Virtuous Affinity 2.05. All other sound processors are switched off.
Cheers.
Poweramp just uses the effects already provided by HTC in ROM. It should sound absolutely the same as Stock player effect – as Poweramp just turns effect ON the same way stock player does, and the ROM then processes audio, not Poweramp.
Thanks!
HTC Desire HD SRS used to work fine and still works in HTC stock player but now since update it no longer works.
Not sure if it is a Poweramp update or the update to Gingerbread 2.3.5 that disabled it. Dolby DOES still work however and all other features.
Please just update Poweramp to latest build (484).
Thanks!
after new update HTC EVO- will not read SD card- every option just shuts down app and goes to main screen.
Thanx a lot for delivering such a wonderful update for HTC Sensation XE owners. Finally the audio is being played in proper way along with beats enhancement, exactly like a stock player! Finally I can enjoy the right sound from my phone with my beloved PowerAmp! I wish you could only add a red beats sign, just like with the stock player, which I consider obsolete from now on.
Спасибо за прекрасное обновление для владельцев телефонов HTC с Beats Audio. Наконец PowerAmp воспроизводит аудио так, как это делает стоковый плеер, только теперь еще с возможностью включать и выключать все "улучшайзеры" и конечно наслаждаться всеми функциональными превосходствами PowerAmp.
How can I buy your product? And can poweramp support chinese_simplified translation?
Thanks.
