I recently purchased the full version and honestly one of the best music player I have ever seen 🤑🤑🤩🤩🤩🥳

The undisputed king of local audio players. The 10-band graphic/parametric EQ, Hi-Res output engine, and custom DSP offer audiophile-grade control that easily outperforms standard players like Pulsar or Musicale. Cons: The UI skin system feels overly complex for casual users. Suggestions for Devs: Add cloud/NAS streaming (WebDAV/SMB) and seamless lyric-sync editing. Modernize default skins to reach true perfection!

I paid for the feature package and nothing has changed in the app. How do I enable it and get the additional features? I paid for the full version in 2019 and then recently when I checked, it was showing "Feature Packages" under settings, and I paid Rs.85 to get that. Now I can see there are new features added to the power amp. Are you saying there is no such" Feature Packages"?

Aftt looong time without use ;when you need to play back sound in backgrnd without 3rd p streaming services ;REALITY hits hard you don't actually have anything to listen, probably don't have solid music taste, just listen what they play. In fact my phone vendor did not felt to ship it with standalone player too so even if you wanted, you have to hassle finding a feature ad-free player. Crazy difference btw past and nowadays.

Been a paid user for years, but I can't make power amp work for me. The audio config options are great, but can't make up for a UI/UX that is nothing short of deranged. Ex: I search for "Imagine" by Lennon, find it, then tap to play. What plays next though? Power amp gives only 2 options: "filtered", which is all the other songs in my library with the word "imagine" in them, or "all", which is every one of the 80,000+ songs on my phone, in alphabetical order. Both of these are worthless.

I've been putting up with Power Amp's quirks for years, but I've had enough. The scanning issue just keeps getting worse. I used to be able to work around it by disabling auto-scan and loading mp3's in small groups. But now that doesn't even work. I load 100 songs and 20 end up filed as "Unknown Artist". It is scanning way too fast and struggles with tracks containing digits or symbols. It's been a problem for years and the developer just wants to blame google.

Doesn't find the music on my phone 😐 as in it doesn't let me pick my audio file to access the music?
★☆☆☆☆harmony do· Dec 18, 2025
It can't find my music folder automatically. I have to make a new folder, move my music from my Files, then assign Power amp to that folder. Im not crazy about the idea of adding new music to that folder each time, when other apps sense all my MP3s automatically
