Droid Community Picks PowerAMP Over Google As Go-To Music App.
Los Angeles, CA, February 05, 2011 — It’s not often that a newcomer keeps Google on their toes, but the Droid community has spoken: PowerAMP is king of the music apps. PowerAMP is enjoying an enviable position–this week they will surpass two million Android trial version installs, and since December, they have been the number one multimedia app, while maintaining a respectable top three spot in all non-game apps. While Android/Google has announced an improved music player for their 3.0 version of the OS, rumors indicate that with the exception of music download capabilities, PowerAMP will remain the more feature-rich of the two apps.
PowerAMP’s developers are confident that today’s release of the feature-rich PowerAMP Version 1.1 ($4.99, http://powerampapp.com/) will ensure their five-out-of-five rating for the previous versions remains untarnished. PowerAMP’s powerful but easy-to-navigate interface (see screenshots here: http://tinyurl.com/poweramp-screenshots) and built-in dynamic equalizers cater to sound quality fanatics.
Version 1.1 features will include the following enhancements:
Audio-focus Android 2.2 API support; PowerAMP now pauses itself if voice search is in progress
Dynamic play queue: both Folder and Library files can be enqueued and PowerAMP will return back to the previously played list when queue is complete
Custom equalizer presets: any equalizer preset now can be assigned to the specific song or to one of the outputs whether speaker, wired headset or Bluetooth® headset
Better MP4/WMAv1-v2/OGG support on devices without NEON (like HTC Hero/Wildfire)
Improved WMA Pro, AMR, WAV support
Added FLAC 24bit/96khz support
New skin: Black Neon, designed for AMOLED displays
New DELete DUPlicates action for playlists
Hierarchical Folders view: where Flat/Hierarchy can be switched in Folders
Improved lock screen compatibility with secure/pin lock screens
Sleep timer
Album art selection: long press on album art in main PowerAMP Screen opens dialog with alternative album art images
