Should be the default music app; I can't believe Samsung or Google hasn't bought it! I've been using Poweramp for 11 years, except for the short period of time it wasn't updated and stopped working on new devices. I've found nothing better and can't imagine how it could be any better. Beautiful interface, options beyond compare, surprisingly simple to use. So many advanced features and it just WORKS! JRiver for PC, PA for Android. Don't ever go away again, it was like going through a divorce.

Simple, easy-to-use. Downside: ALWAYS resumes play when it connects to a vehicle even if the app is closed at the time.. In the settings, there's supposed to be a way to prevent this, but it doesn't work. Also tried changing the "Ignore Bluetooth" settings as recommended by the developer. Now, I can't stop the music from the device until after the timed delay set by the "Ignore" setting... the app still plays music as soon as it connects.

Try increasing Ignore Bluetooth Commands in Settings > Headset/Bluetooth. Some vehicles send play commands even when the app is closed, and this helps block them.

After owning the app for a few years, it has been amazing but this new issue has developed recently and I am unsure how to fix it despite looking through past responses to this issue. Recently when I am adding music to the folders that the app scans and uses as the music library, it is no longer reading those files. I shift the folder into a new storage area and rescan, does not read. I go to the settings>library>folders I enable for it the read. I do a full library rescan. It doesn't work.

On Android 13+, Poweramp can only scan folders you manually select in Settings - Library - Music Folders. Make sure the new folder is explicitly checked there. Also disable “Manage app when unused” in App Info, as it can revoke permissions and make tracks disappear.
