Now dropped to 50p, again you'll need FREE trial version before purchasing (linky in 1st post) - Awesome little app - Cannot fault it

Music moves people; it unites us, it allows us to relax, and sometimes, when done right, it can even motivate us to do great things. Poweramp does great things.
The #1 paid music player in the Google Play Store 4 years running—Poweramp is the most powerful music player available on the Android OS. Features like gapless play, an unmatched equalization system, great crossfade, and support for most popular music file format might all make Poweramp the best $3.99 you have ever spent in your life—2+ million users would agree to that.

If you have not already, try out the free full trial version. The trial version will give you 15 days of the full, uninterrupted, Poweramp experience. That means you get to experience your music like only Poweramp can offer. If you need a few reasons why to buy the full version of Poweramp, here are two good reasons:

- Get all the future updates for free: Once you purchase Poweramp, all the future updates are free to you as long as you have the Unlocker.

- Have a dedicated music player: Poweramp is dedicated to being the best music player available, and we will never change from that. Poweramp is focus on doing nothing more than being a great music player.

It's a brilliant app but it's beyond irritating that they REFUSE TO ADD CHROMECAST SUPPORT for local streaming. It's not that they can't, they don't want to because they can only currently make it work with MP3. Why not just release that anyway, that will at least cater for most of the people using it. Pretty much every other music app has a cast button now.

I used the trial for few months as the music started automatically when I was plugging the headphones and was stopping when I unplugged them, also I could skip songs by the notifications menu so didn't really need the full version but for 50p... :smiley:

I've been using this for a few years now and love it.

I did not believe it before I tried it (people said it did sound better), but the sound quality is actually better than other music players I have tried.

Is this better than PlayerPro?

cannibalwombat

Been my music player for a few years now. Great in so many ways but a few things annoy me these days. Like to go back to the song list from the player screen you can't just tap back, you have to tap the song title (i.e. a specific strip of the display) to get back to the album/playlist. Also, the auto artwork finder thing has got quite a few album artworks wrong and I can't work out how to correct those ones without having to so them all manually. Finally I wish there was a built in lyrics plug-in that could display/hide the lyrics any time and scroll them automatically with the music.

I tried Black Player which addresses most of those problems but, crucially, the sound output quality for some reason just isn't as good.

speculatrix to cannibalwombat

2 Mar 16 #28

yeah, the usability could do with some improvement.

it's particularly hard to use in the car, way too fiddly and easy to touch the wrong spot.

Crosshash to cannibalwombat

3 Mar 16 #59

If you hold down on the album artwork, a menu pops up and you can choose the correct one (you can also choose higher res art).

I actually think the way you can specify album artwork is one of its best features.

Only thing I dislike about Poweramp is there's no way to boost the volume. I find certain audiobooks have lower volume, even on max.

What I don't like about this app is that I put all my music in folders and when it scans them in it can separate tracks from the folders, so I have many albums with only one song in. Not all folders have ID tags and for me there should be a simple option telling it not to separate songs from a folder.

Browse your music using the folders menu then.

Yeah the back button exits the app which is really a stupid design decision but after using it for nearly a year I have gotten used to tapping the song name bar to take me back to the album list.

I've been using this for some years now. Best music player I've ever used. The EQ is superb and even better is you can assign it to auto set the EQ based on connected equipment, which is great for the Bluetooth in my car which I prefer the EQ settings to be vastly different from my headphones. So many great tweaks!

I got it to work with ChromeCast Audio, incl multiple speakers, incl YouTube too.
From ChromeCast app, choose Cast Stream/Audio.
Go back to your YouTube or Poweramp app and sound is routed properly.

I've had it a while but since updating to Marshmallow it not been as good. Probably not it's fault just doesn't play well. I had my MP3s on my SD card and now it doesn't like 3rd party software accessing it.

Good player and can't argue the price. Neutron player is also amazing. Especially for Bluetooth pairing in the car which Poweramp had issues with.

David23

2 Mar 16 2 #27

That option in the Chromecast app settings is only available on Android 4.4.2 and up because casting is hard baked into the OS after that. I'm on an older version of Android and I don't have that option. When it routes the audio using that method I wonder if it's routing the analogue signal from the headphone jack or the digital file itself (like when you use an in app cast button).

It would just be easier if Poweramp just put the button in. It not like it's the hardest thing on earth for one the most downloaded music apps! What are they doing with all those 50p's?!

vegalz0r

2 Mar 16 #29

This sucks now. I used it for few years but now they don't allow you to edit meta data of the mp3 files. It's "read only" message comes up.

Total BS

Prosamuraiman to vegalz0r

2 Mar 16 #31

It's a glitch. You need to hover over the song and press delete. Once you do this an option will pop up and ask you to choose the location of the song and write access will be granted, allowing you to edit the metadata of the song. The song will not be deleted.

Been using it for two years and for the life of me still can't get it to shuffle and repeat songs from ONE playlist continually. It seems to just move to the next playlist nobody what I do. Pain!

One of the best app's I own!

I started using it when google maps got rid of the individual volume control (which is now back), poweramp lets me set the pre-amp level lower than the phone volume so it doesn't overpower the nice lady telling me where to go.
I have it set so when I get into my car it launches on bluetooth detect with my radio and sets a 'car' preset on the equalizer.

Only issue I have had is since getting an LG G4 the audio sometimes stutters when the screen is off, I have upped the audio thread priority and the buffersize to see if this will solve it.

rev6 to drunken_prozac

3 Mar 16 #41

That should solve it. It usually works for me unless the phones running out of memory or I'm bottlenecking the drive with something else.

drunken_prozac

3 Mar 16 #40

Yep, if you haven't tagged your mp3's correctly then use the folder view.

rhinopaul

I just use my Sony Z3 stock music player now, It meets my needs.

drunken_prozac

3 Mar 16 #43

I did have the priority set higher and still had the issues a while ago but then the phone blew. Got a replacement and forgot to set it on this one. The ram is fine, I think it might be the way the LG prioritizes programs when the screen is off, if I set the screen to always on it's fine, it's the same on headphones/bluetooth/phone speaker.
Will try it out on the drive home

Once you have tried VIPER4Android, your choice of music player would never matter. Your phone needs to be rooted though.

EDIT: Only from an audio quality perspective. Stock music players are sufficient to provide input to VIPER4Android.
Other players may offer cosmetic benefits.

Great Audio features, one of the best out there. I got it for 10p when it was on offer.
Navgating the UI isn't as good as many other players out there (inc Google Play) but once i've got a song list set up and just shuffle it's ok.
Bargain for the price

50p is pretty much all it's worth. I have it and it's not exactly awesome.

omneity1 to James_cleeve73

3 Mar 16 #51

I don't really get the hype for PowerAmp either, I use Music Player (Remix) which is much more user-friendly, has Chromecast support and includes some great features not included with PowerAmp. IMHO it's worth paying a couple of quid for an app that does what you need it to.

Great software but lacks Chromecast support.

I don't have any music on my phone just on an old ipod classic as I have so much stuff on it.
I bought the app when it was 10p a few weeks go as I thought it will come in handy at some point and for 10p so what.
I do however stream Amazon Prime through my phone at times.
Is there anyway I can use this in conjunction with my Prime music?
I stream to a Bluetooth speaker and just wanted to use the Equaliser part really just to make it sound a bit better.

Any info about this would be great thanks.

alfreer1

3 Mar 16 #53

Not impressed so far,
Over one hour of its autoscan and it's still "searching folders".
So far it's found zero music! It is building me a huge list off. OGG files???? They appear to be Google sat Nov sounds or something.
Don't see option to include/exclude folders from the search. Can't seem to stop the search anyway.
If I "delete" these files from Power Amp, it may delete them entirely :-(

rev6 to alfreer1

You need to go into the settings and select which folders you want it to scan for music.

3 Mar 16 1 #54

This is a great player for local content; it's a shame that Google don't seem to have a Google Music API that they can hook into. It has the best sound and was my go-to player until I started using the cloud for stuff. Now it's basically another app I paid for but don't use anymore.

This app has run its due. Development has ceased and updates are only minor bugfixes. They seem to have disguised it as Neutron player which does 64bit audio if you have compatible hardware.

I got this and it does sound a bit better. however I found track skipping / track locating too fiddly so reverted back to stock player. got it for 10p so can't complain. don't see why people say its so amazing. I find the whole look of it to be bland and boring. heated

Mocking_Bird to Superstu

The speed at which it refreshes the cover art while switching tracks left & right is what sealed the deal for me. Heck, I could do that all day without listening to a single track and be perfectly content.

I do this nearly every time I use it. You'd think there'd be an option to determine what back does!

cannibalwombat

3 Mar 16 #66

Thank you! I never thought to press and hold the artwork in the player screen, only in the folder/albums view. Wasn't aware of that option. Strangely, for example, the image that was in the album view for David Bowie's Blackstar was just a picture of Bowie. But in the player screen it was correct. Press and hold in the player screen lists a whole load of versions of the proper album cover but not this random picture of Bowie. Just selected one of them and problem solved.

Does preamp boost in the equaliser not improve volume for your audiobooks?

I stopped using it after I found it wouldn't let me launch the App saying it couldn't contact their servers to verify that my license was valid even though I'd used it a few days previously and it was properly licensed. Normally it wouldn't have been a problem, but I was on a RyanAir flight at the time with "Flight Mode" on and I'd been intending to listen to my music on the plane to avoid the RyanAir tannoy announcement sales pitch barrage. Instead I ended up with a packet of crisps, a plastic 'cup' of luke-warm tea, scratchcards and considerably less money in my wallet than I had when we took off!

On a more serious note - can anyone recommend a good music player which has proper/decent ChromeCast support? The music app I replaced PowerAmp with (N7Player), whist very good, doesn't support ChromeCast Audio, so I'm looking for an alternative.

smckirdy to ben.harris

3 Mar 16 #70

I just use the google app, but it depends on your formats as it doesn't do FLAC as far as I'm aware which is what I keep poweramp around for. Never had that problem you describe though and I've been a poweramp user for several years, it's an unlocker so worse comes to worse it just opens up the free version.

smckirdy

3 Mar 16 #69

To be fair you can just cast straight to your TV in android now, but it is a bit of a pain.

ben.harris

3 Mar 16 #71

I've just checked my emails and I bought PowerAmp 5 years a go (for £3.09 at the time!). It was a few years back that it happened, to be fair, so may not be a problem any longer. It just really irritated me at the time - enough to make me look for an alternative and stop using it.

All of the stuff on my phone is just in MP3 format. I'll give the Google app a go.

Love this app for the queuing on the fly and the equaliser and preamp options. significantly better and louder than standard Samsung music player once you fiddle with the settings. The "limit" function in the equaliser is also good, gives you maximum volume but as soon as anything starts distorting it drops the levels just enough to avoid distortion. Hot for me!
