Any chance for chromecast audio & standard chromecast?

Chromecast support is definitely something I want to look at! Should be very possible to implement, but the focus is to first implement all missing features I want to implement, and meanwhile make the app stable.
Anyway stay tuned for updates as I will probably implement what is fastest to implement AND mostrequested first.

Of course I'll support something like this, I bought the plus right away without testing.
Two things I'd like more than anything in every music player there is, that's
10 band graphics EQ
Be able to choose folder play, today you got artist, album, tracks
And want/wish
CHROMECAST MUSIC & or CHROMECAST STANDARD support. And if you can also support for Apple wireless music/video standard(don't remember it's name).
Thanks for great app idea, it's a good looking music player, I always use power amp, since I was in it from the beginning. BUT NOW IM looking for something more light designed and good with good quality, and options and so on, and you'll fit that description very well. Good luck in future development.
Edit...
Also put an X to be able to quit application in notifications drawer(pull down).

Folder play is in there, but you have to enable it in the settings
It needs a bit of work, I know. But let me hear what you don't like about it.
I also answered you a bit on G+
Again, thanks for the support and stay tuned for an update later this week!

Just released an update which finally adds playlist support!
Here is an image from the Trackpicker-Screen
Expect some more, smaller updates in the coming days!
Cheers!

Got a bunch of "error scanning file" toast notifications when adding my music directory. However, the songs with errors seem to still show up in the app. Here's a log. Using Android 7.0 on OnePlus 3.
Edit: The toast notifications pop up again upon rebooting the device. I can provide a log after rebooting if you'd like.

@FroyoShark : Re-Popping up is because of automatic rescan.
I'll have a look at it!
Meanwhile, try to retag your mp3 files with something like Picard
It's worth noting that settings to disable to auto-rescan as well as an alternative scanning method are basically finished, just need to implement them into the UI and push an update
Stay tuned.

v0.13.5 is now live with:
- Bugfixes
- Improvements to playlists
- More supported filetypes for embedded lyrics
- Properly materialized "AlbumDetail"-Screen
Edit:
v0.14.0 is live wit:
- tag-editor which supports lyrics
Edit2:
v0.15.0 is live with:
- translucent skin supporting dark and light flavors
screen:
Edit:
A lot of work has been done over the weekend up to this very moment
and we've actually just pushed RC2 containing a boatload of fixes.
Maybe one or another hidden gem has also made it in this version, you might wanna look out for that
As of now, my personal wishlist for a v1.0 is pretty much done and am now focusing on feature requests (so bring 'em!) and fixes.
Of course, a few things on my list are not in yet, and will be developed over time.

We now are officially released!
A lot of fixing and implementing feedback from reddit (of all places...) was done and we hope it's enough for a 1.0 release
The 1.1 version is already in planning, decoupling completely from androids own media library, adding in smart playlists, adding in sorting options and all that good stuff!
A little update on Chromecast support: I don't personally own a chromecast, heck I don't even own a TV and there seem to be no working emulators out there... So spending 40 Bucks, just to develop a single feature, isn't probably worth it, sorry
If you wan't to get the newest features first, consider joining beta-testing! You can opt-in and opt-out at any time using this link.
And last but no least here are 10 gift-codes exclusive to XDA
ALL OF THEM ARE USED BY NOW!

Awesome music player and just used one of the codes to get the plus thanks!! Looking forward to the playlist add-on so I can use the playlist already on my phone. Anyways keep up the good work!!
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk

Used a code (second last). Thanks for that!
Looks promising though it stutters sometimes when I change screens (Nexus 5x Nougat) in the app.

Just saw this and downloaded it, liking it a lot but it isn't detecting my existing playlists - is that a bug or a not implemented feature?

Is there away to remove the message i get everytime I open the app of "error scanning file"
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk

This is an excellent player,with just the things needed!
But:An essential feature that is missing is the option to make the player open up on startup directly on the ''directory'' category (or any of the others),with the last used folder that you listened too already in place.Like making the player remembering your last folder used.
It is very inconvenient having to navigate all the way from the parent directory to lets say an album's folder 10 folders deep in file structure.
Please fix this!Thanks for the player!

It's not yet implemented. You can expect a playlist importer / exporter and autodetecting playlists, as well as smart playlists, in the coming weeks.

I will look at this when I provide the ability to customize the library-tabs. Before that, the current library system gets an overhaul, which is then optionally completely independent of androids media scanner.
Should take a while but not all too long.

i hope you implement this soon..!The player is somehow inconvenient for people that only use directory view,like me.
Each time i open the player i have to:
1)open the app
2)scroll the default track's artwork down so i can reach the list views
3)tap on ''directories''
4)tap to ''device strorage''
5)scroll all the way down my files till i find the folder ''music''
6)scroll to find the category i was listening to
7)find the folder i want
8)scroll to find the track
9)press play.
You see,for people like me the thing that the player can't remember the ''directories'' last used folder or that it doesn t have the option to choose a default folder that the directories view open up to when you enter ''directories'' or even,like many players do,have the app open up directly inside the last folder you used,makes this player so much trouble.
Other than that the player is excellent,but you need to implement these options soon before exiting beta.

@korekore1
No, you don't have to go through all those steps, just tap the song info area (track name , artist name, album name) and it will bring you right back to the last folder, but that's more or less explained in the tutorial. (...Guess the wording needs to be clearer...)
With that beeing said, I have an update for the beta-branch planned for today-ish which has the ability to reorder any tab in the library and all that good stuff
Edit: It is live for beta users and if all goes well it should soon be pushed to everyone
Also, if the directory tab is in one of the first two spots, it will open directly to the last directory played from
Edit2:
Version 1.1.0 is now live for everyone featuring smart playlists, customizable tabs, a share functionality and of course fixes.
I feel like this is the most stable release as of yet and realize that this should've probably been 1.0...

Really nice app, used it for a while on my OP3 just some minor bugs at the beginning.
Will there be an equalizer where you can change the volume of the headphones?
Like giving the left one more volume than the right? Could be useful for people with messed up headphones.

A balance option.
Probably not, depends on how many people are asking for it.
Stuff that is on my ToDo-list however is:
Playlist import / export
Converting the artist list to have cards with artist images (similar to the album list)
Adding context-menus in directory view
"Now Playing" themes
More widgets
Sorting options for lists
Work on improving the visualizer

Library/Folders:
- custom complete Library/Media Scanner implementation, 10x-100x scan speed comparing to system library tag scanner, 1000 songs scanned in 15-30sec (depends on phone/sd card)

- Menu => List Opts for almost each Folder/Library list with the sorting, view mode, and other per-list options
- playlist unification, no more Folders vs Library playlists

- embed cue support (flac, wv, ape)
- full-library and folders search
- history of songs played and other smart playlists (Most Played, Top Rated, Recently Played, Recently Added. Each list can be set to be sorted in Reverse. Enable these lists via
Menu => Lists Opts in Library)
- rating system. PowerAMP 2.0 stores ratings in own database only. Later versions will also sync ratings back to track tags\n

Quick heads up about this update.
FINALLY my SGSII can read genre tags properly (previously EVERY player took its tag reading from the systems way of reading tags, resulting in genre tags being messed up which really bugs me as I predominantly like to listen by shuffling a genre! FLAC tags also now work properly).
More details here: AndroidNZ: PowerAMP 2.0 Beta Quietly Released
Made a video for curious people who haven't yet got PowerAMP:
Love the new design. Thanx for the heads up..

Miss the 4x1 widget way too much. Cant use this. :/

Will existing owners have to re-buy?
In previous version, I can play an album/artist/playlist directly. Now I have to queue it first. Is there a simple way?
beautiful application, but there are still missing several features including widgets
It's a beta folks, other widget sizes are coming, no worries there.
@Blakamin: It will recognise your existing license.
I like the new formats in portrait but I think landscape was a better fit in the previous release format.

I'm not entirely convinced I like the new landscape either, we should really give that feedback to the dev since this is a beta!

About 2 times out of 3, when I disconnect my bluetooth device, PowerAmp will pause briefly, then start playing the music again from the phone speaker. I've unticked the "resume when headset reconnected" option which seemed to help but not completely fix the issue.
Any ideas?
if anyone's worried about widgets, use a resizer. I use go launcher ex and resized it to where only the player controls are shown.
Thanks. I had no clue this beta was out. Big fan of poweramp...use it daily. This looks good.

Some of the user reviews:
I'm speechless! This seems to be the original sound cloud app now.... U people beat the official app hands down!
---
Pure undiluted awesomeness. The EQ is easily my favorite part of the app after the latest update. Only bass boost I've ever found for android that actually works. (Please keep both the low-frequency EQ slider and bass boost slider together, only having one never quite did enough for me.) Thanks for the awesome, frequently-updated juggernaut of an app!
---
Great app It does all I need it to do! In my oppinion its better than pandora. No advertisements, tons of music and it has music from completely new artist as well. Just like the sound cloud I love
---
Beautiful, functional, bug-free Hands down the best way to use your Soundcloud account on an android device. Extensive functionality lets me do everything from conveniently liking tracks from the notification bar to making all kinds of playlists (you even have the equalizer - amazing!). This app is truly a lifesavior when it comes to streaming music, especially when Soundcloud's official app keeps crashing every two minutes. Thanks guys!

Auto-translated from Portuguese
very good, would recommend Thank you. The app is great, hard to find one like that, at least with me was difficult. administrators of the app are very attentive, they respond to each comment, whether to thank you or ask what the problem or to calm the person saying that an update will come soon. In short, the app is great and caregiver is attentive. I have nothing to complain about my cell is bad and still withstand the app very well.
---
Impressed Really like this app as an extension to Soundcloud. Seems to be regularly updated too which is always a plus. Highly recommend it.
---
Best soundcloud-player! This player is getting better and better. The best soundcloud app I've tried so far.
---
Worth it!!!!!!!! Love it the best app that I've ever seen I'm a long time it was hard at first to find out what did what (maybe add a tutorial) but doesn't matter best app EVER!!!!!!!!!!! I even got rid of the original soundcloud app Thanks!!! I will now share this discovery to everypony I know this discovery must not be passed I give it 5/5 brohoofs!!! ( im a brony if no one gets it)
---
Finally a soundcloud client that works The official soundcloud app is a hog, chewing through my battery in 6 hours. Now this app will let me listen to my stream for the whole day. And now with extended notification controls even. That's like a cherry on top of the cake.
---
Both super fast both solid. It really deserves more than a perfect 5 star
---
Top! With this app you can tap the full potential of Soundcloud! The web player is also awesome! Thanks to the developer, the most used app on my smartphone!

Review from My Android Music Apps:
With the My Cloud Player app you have the chance to have copious amounts of music at your fingertips. The My Cloud Player remains a popular app due its ability to connect and share music.
You are able to search for users and then follow their profiles. You are not secluded to your own tracks on My Cloud Player. You are able to listen to the other user’s tracks and even their favorites.
Music Player that allows you to explore and listen to music from My Cloud apps and playlists created on the apps. You can even the follower’s followers creating an intricate network of users and access to songs you can easily access via your phone at any time.
Imagine a connective environment in which you are able to access any song at any time. It may sound too good to be true but with My Cloud you are able to connect with people and thereby connecting with the music.
Perhaps you are offline. Well, you can listen to My Cloud Player apps as well. You can have up to 500 MB (this limit is removed in newer versions) of tracks on this single app.
The My Cloud Player actually allows you to externally store more songs. This means you will have access to your favorite songs while offline, much like an MP3 player. My Cloud Player apps allow you to also to externally store as many downloaded songs as you want.
Simply set up your offline storage devices and you are set.
You will need to approve a full network communication access to your phone from you My Cloud Player app. By setting up this full network you are allowing the My Cloud Player to set up network and customize your personal network protocols. These protocols actually go through your phone to contact the internet so the device will work more efficiently by itself.
The My Cloud Player app also pauses itself when receiving phone calls. This means the device will never interrupt a phone call. The app also will write data on the phone’s SD card. It is advisable to get an SD card for any music lover. If you wish to download music you are going to be able to do everything via My Cloud.
The My Cloud Player is an incredibly helpful app for any music lover. If you want to improve your music-listening experience then My Cloud is the correct app for you. With its incredibly simple operating ease and network connections, My Cloud Player opens the doors for a vast music experience on and offline.

i'm working the app almost every, adding new features (right now i'm implementing Volley library).
So, if you have some ideas, or bug to report, feel free to post them here.
Strange how low feedback i get from the users. For example i get: 'Its not working' or 'Not good' and that's all
Very good app!
This is what the Soundcloud app must've been, I really love the offline listening option.
Good work, dcucko!

Hey man, do you think there's a possibility to change the pop-up menu when you choose a track?
For example, when you select a track, it starts playing directly. But if the user wants to do other things like downloading to cache, add to playlist, etc, then you show the pop-up menu.

i totally understand what you think. soundcloud library is lot more bigger than user music library on the phone. and the behavior is little bit different.
let's say, it will play the track on click, but the problem is - what next?
i'm thinking of creating a settings screen, so maybe i will add an option where you can choose what to be default action on track click.
another thing is settings probably will be to choose 'download folder' lots of people are asking for this, but so little time and so many bugs to fix
thanks for the feedback.

Yeah, I understand. I only use Soundcloud for some songs and I don't really need to play every song.
But when I'm on the cached tracks, it seems redundant to choose what to do and it should behave as a playlist automatically.
And maybe you should update the app weekly: instead of pushing a little update everyday, you have one update with more fixes (plus avoiding angry users because of constant updates).
Thanks for your time on the app :victory:!

[APP][4.0+] Music Tagger Beta - ID3 Tag Editor

MUSIC TAGGER​
What it does:
Music Tagger is a music tag editor that introduces automated features like lyrics grabbing & album art grabbing to make the process of tagging your song files quick and easy. Music Tagger also uses an audio identification system (like Shazam and Track ID) to automatically identify and tag your files individually or in batch. Album information is pulled from the MusicBrainz database which can also be directly accessed and tag information for each track downloaded and applied to files manually.
Music Tagger is also capable of organising and renaming your song files once they have been tagged.
Folders for artists and albums can be created and files renamed based on renaming structure selected from the given options.
Music Tagger automatically updates the Media Store Database when changes have been made to files to ensure changes reflect on all other media applications. Please take note that some music players use their own databases (like Google Play Music, Rocket Player, Double Twist and n7player) and may take longer to reflect changes to files, a manual update may need to be invoked within the application if it is possible.
Music Tagger Currently supports the following file formats MP3, FLAC , M4A and MP4 audio files only.

NOTE: This is a BETA Application it is currently still in development.
READ: If you are running KitKat writing to external storage will not work unless you have rooted your device and applied the SD card permissions fix. This is due to Google removing external write permissions from 3rd party apps on Android.
I've been working on Music Tagger and I don't really get enough feedback through the play store to help me fix bugs and add new features. It would be helpful if a few of you guys can take a bit of time to use the application and give me a few pointers on what can be improved what bugs you've spotted or new features that can be added. Thanks

Really good app! I have always wanted an mobile music tagger that can grab tags from musicbrainz. I'm using Musicbrainz Picard on my PC and this app almost beats it. But it has few problems that make it not so good to use.
Bugs (so far):
On my Note 3 (kitkat with sdcard reading fix) Song identifying takes for ever... around 5 minutes per song. At first I thought it was stuck... but then I let it run longer and it worked. Tag was saved quickly!
Features I would like:
✓ Better music manager is a must! (Add option to zoom out, because the file preview is to big and then it it hard to find stuff quickly.
Option to browse and autoscan music from folders)
Or option to open other file managers like Solid Explorer or ES file manager to pic files. (this I would prefer more!)
✓ Option to delete tag categories and album arts.
✓ Option to select album arts from file browser.
✓ Tagging from Discogs and fingerprinting from AcoustID would be nice but not mandatory.
After those features are added then it will be perfect. I would then prefer this app more than Picard.

Hi, thanks for giving the application a try.
- From what I understand KitKat doesn't allow apps to write to SD storage, I think this is something that I'm going to have to take a look at to see if there is any way around it.
- Currently Identifying a song is done by uploading the file to a server where it performs the audio fingerprinting, this process is dependent on your upload speed and is powered by The Echonest. However it should only be temporary, implementing AcousticIDs from Musicbrainz or using the Echonet's Echoprint API is on top of my feature list to improve the speed of auto tagging.
- What exactly do you mean when you say "option to delete tag entries and album arts"?... You can already delete album art from multiple files by selecting a file or a group of files from 'Edit Songs', Edit Albums' or 'Artists', swiping right to the final page which is 'Album Art' and pressing the 'Delete Album Art' button. This will remove album art from all of the selected files.
- "Option to select album arts form file browser." ... This is also already possible by selecting a song or a group of songs and swiping to the 'Album Art' tab and pressing the 'Add Album Art' button, this will present you with a list of apps you already have installed that you can use to select a picture to apply to the music file or files you have selected.
- Your suggestion to add a file browser is a good one I'll definitely add it to the list.
- In time I'll also take a look at the possibility of adding access to Disocgs.
Thanks for your suggestions, your feedback is appreciated.

Few things I'd like to suggest.
- Could you add a sorting option to make songs/albums without album art appear on top?
- In batch edit, the track number should be masked. Not really an issue since it only edits the fields that are selected
- You should change the colour of the check marks. Blue gets camouflaged a bit
- A light theme perhaps?

I think we'll take a look adding more themes and changing the look of things a bit later for now we're focusing on adding features and dealing with bugs.
As for sorting we will definitely be adding an option to do so soon.
I haven't used the source page for finding song data and have a question:
Will this retrieve non-latin, most particularly (and as an example) Russian, song data? Often sites don't have the song data if the artist isn't popular in the U.S. or it inserts transliterated data or sometimes the app/program inserts non-unicode data and the text displays incorrectly (the main problem).

The application uses MusicBrainz as a source for the metadata, any artist there should be accessible through the application.
So, I checked the website and they had a few artists I searched for in both Russian and translit, but your app doesn't seem to play nice with Russian text. See the pictures. On the one with the semicolon (thanks windows) the artist name doesn't show up when,I go to edit it. On another file it just gives me "????????". This is usually caused by the text encoding not supporting the Cyrillic encoding for the Russian text.

Well, the issue is also in reading, I have a German group with some.special letters which aren't displaying right. So far the app has failed on all auto tags I have tried to do. Is it possible to get more verbose errors, versus just saying that it failed? (Eg, ’failed: no match found').
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
This is a really nice app! Thank you! The audio fingerprinting works well. I think users may benefit from a quick look up feature. Say we have a partial tag (artist, song) or filename. That info could be used instead of uploading for fingerprinting. Saving on data usage is a plus. Possibly a choice of album and artwork as well. Throw that in a pro version and I'd buy it! Thanks again for all the hard work. Much appreciated.

This is my third app, and I'm still a little new to android development, any feedback or tips is greatly appreciated! I have many plans for future features and updates that could improve or add to the ad. Also, any ratings or downloads help, thanks!
Also, if you have any suggestions or bugs, please feel free to reply to the thread, It helps me create a better app for not only myself, but the entire community!
Inspiration: Personally, I still play my music off of my SD card on my phone, as I find streaming music to eat up all my data, or just really slow and buggy. So I personally would use Google Play Music, or Shuttle (Which is great by the way). And the problem I had with these apps, is that I didn't enjoy they're light theme too much, it made my screen too bright, which would eat my battery, and the way they would scan your SD card was often unreliable, in the terms that it often wouldn't find some of the music I put on my phone, and if I added new music, the refresh would find it if I was lucky and often times I would have to re-install the app just for it to find my music. And on top of that, Google Play Music or other heavy media players would freeze my phone, or make it really laggy when i was in a hurry trying to do something. With video, I often found myself annoyed by the timeout of on screen video controls, or accidentally popping up on the screen and blocking what i was viewing, and I thought it'd be better if they were simply only in portrait mode so you could just flip your phone if you wanted to change something. And also, I once had a rom with a transparent theme, which made everything look so amazing on my phone. So this is why I decided to make a lightweight, transparent, and minimal music app for android that uses a file view rather than a music one to play music and videos.
App Description:
This app requires an external storage (SD card) to run, however most phones already have this.
Looking for a music or video player that isn't slow, always crashing, or freezing your phone? One that allows you to find what you want to listen to or watch through a file explorer, instead of scanning your entire external storage, just to not find everything you have on there? Tired of external codecs, and just want the native ones that are much more reliable and fast? Do you find full screen video controls getting in the way of your video, and you think that they are annoying? Well, Feather was created for just these reasons, and it is presented in a minimal, beautiful, and easy to use format. Where it is all quite reliable, and always quick.
Features:
Playlists - Play videos or music together in a playlist, watch a whole season or listen to a whole album continuously!
Light Weight - APK ~ 300kb (Paid) 1.3 MB (Free) / Installed ~ 1MB (Paid) 4MB (Free)
Fast - Mostly everything pre-loaded when app is opened
Ongoing Notification - You can easily see what's playing or return to the app anywhere in your phone
Compatible - Works with most headset media controllers
Beautiful - Uses your system wallpaper as it's theme, and uses a semi transparent look above it
Distraction Free - All controls are in Portrait mode, so you can focus only on your video in landscape
Smooth - Navigating the app is very fast, and aesthetically pleasing
File View - Lets you find the songs you want to listen to, to avoid moments when a player can't find it
Native Codecs - No extra downloads, uses native android codecs for easy and fast playback

when launched, the default folder is "/storage/emulated/"
the external sd card is "/storage/emulated/0/" or "/storage/emulated/legacy/"..
(2)
how do i invoke the menu with "Shuffle / Loop / View Playlist / Quit" as shown in ur screen shot?
(3)
for video playback, if the video is shot in portrait mode, then the display is cut and there is no button (prev, pause, play, next) on screen..

Thanks for the reply and feedback, I greatly appreciate it! I wanted to start things in the mount folder, but it's weird that its going there, I think i'll spruce up the file navigation a bit.
To access the menu you press the menu button on your phone, is that option not available on your device? If Not, I'll try and add it to the title bar
and I never experienced that before, thank you for letting me know!
Thanks for your feedback, I think I'll be able to get these things fixed tommorow or the day after. I appreciate you letting me know these things.
Just as a heads up for other people, the app should be okay to use, please don't be discouraged to try it out. and if you are, I'll fix these bugs ASAP!
