Working ... no ... FAILing yet again after uninstalling PowerAmp Unlocker. For years PowerAmp, the paid version, was the music app I used all day, every day. Suddenly it began to stop playing every 2 - 5 tracks, frozen. After >2mos with only a pro-forma response to a support request, I'd pretty well given up ... Then I saw the advice here and successfully used it. 2mos later, following an Android update, PowerAmp again stopped each 2 - 5 songs; fixed ... 3wks later, hanging again. Probably done.

App is killed by background "optimizer", to fix: long press Poweramp icon / (i) / Battery / Unrestricted - CHECK. If you have Poweramp Unlocker, do this for the Unlocker app too (or uninstall Unlocker - you can always reinstall it for free if purchased). More details: https://dontkillmyapp.com

Easy, logic and very beautiful interface for playing audio files. The feature to add album art to internet radio streams is fantastic but why can't the name of the station be displayed? So, please add a line for the name of the internet station and a list option to order by name of internet station. Users asking for this feature already for many years but the developer doesn't understand it. He responds nonsense that the name is taken automatically from the URL which often doesn't happen!

Hey Ronald, big thanks for sharing your thoughts! 😊 Love that you dig the interface and album art feature. Totally hear you on the station name issue—your feedback is noted, and we'll keep working on it. Stay tuned for updates and keep enjoying those tunes! 🎶

Best music player app I've used so far. Great look, bizarre amount of options to customize everything to your exact needs, and it also lets you edit most tags. Contains no unnecessary BS like ringtone cutters or video player; it's just a music player like it should be. Great app! The only minor thing that I can think of is that it doesn't let you change the album art in the actual file itself - it just keeps it in an external database or something.
