USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android

[bahamot]

Does the UAPP support youtube music? I cannot seem to get it to work with youtube music.

Nope

Hey, there! I am using the HiBy R4 and I was wondering...have you encountered an issue where it "overwrites" meta data of songs or simply doesn't read it correctly?
My main problem is that for some albums, randomly (wether I got them from bandcamp, ripped them myself, qobuz, etc.) it repeats the name of the first song even though the file itself is correct.
For example, I get:
For Album X:
Song 1
Song 1
Song 2
Song 3
and so on...
Even though the second Song 1 is actually Song 2.

Anyway to fix that in bulk? If I check the metadata inside of UAPP sometimes for the second Song 1 it does say the correct title, but it displays it incorrectly inside the album, and sometimes the Meta Data itself is wrong inside of UAPP.

As you can see on the photos, on the first one it clearly shows that the first song title is repeated and if I check the meta data for the third song, which on the 1st photo says it is "Heron", it actually is "Fragile" (as it should be).

Thanks in advance!

Just payed for it, the only other Android app I ever paid for, PowerAmp when it was version 2.0. It was very nice player, until the version 3 happened. Had auto update on at the time, big mistake. Some things should be left alone. Why do developers need to take their own excellent app, and ruin it for no reason at all, to the point result loses everything good about it.

Turns out Audio Player Pro does not read SACD rips in iso format.

This is often hailed as the best audio player for Android, but since it can't read iso file, it is useless to me. Should have done some reading before buying it.

I've been happily using this app for a long time on a Motorola Moto G stylus 2020 running on Android 11. After changing to a Moto G stylus 2022 5G running on Android 13 my sound quality is (very) noticeably better. The hardware specs are nearly identical on these two phones. So now my question. Is sound quality better because of the newer version of Android or is it the device itself? Note that neither of these devices have ever been activated to use as a phone, using them more or less as an iPod over Wi-Fi

Guys and one more thing about hardware volume sliders (DAC with dedicated volume control) . It's better to max out Left & Right channel and play with Master slider or Max everything?

I leave everything at maximum both in the app and on the smartphone and only use the independent volume on the Dac/amp

Regarding PowerAmp V2 have you tried contacting the developer to see if he is able to send you a copy of the previous version, or using one of the Android APK sites to obtain the previous version?
You could then try installing the older version, I am not sure if it will overwrite the existing version, if not you may need to uninstall the existing app 1st

I have the APK of the original PowerAmp, the V2, I downloaded it and have it runni g on several Android DAPs. Just make sure you turn off the Auto Update at Play store.

Unfortunately the V2, the initial PowerAmp does not let you Install it in newer versions of Android, my Samsung S22 is from few years ago, it wont let me I install V2, and there is no way around. It only installs the newest version of PowrAmp.

This issue got every PowerAmp user very upset few years ago, after the v3 update, and tons of discussion at Reddit. The developer is one guy and he refuses to allow rolling back to original version, the V2. Everyone was complaining, begging to back to V2.

What makes people upset, the app is not free, it's not expensive, of course, but the prevelent opinion of huge number of users is, they never would have paid for it if they knew the v3 is completely different player.

And it is completely different. It is incredibly complicated player, there are options for options for options, and then more options . Of just useless features.
Fir example, having used V2 since Onkyo X1 player, I am very familiar with the player and all the options. But it took me an hour to find simple 'list options ' to play files by file name. Seems easiest thing, and it was with V2, it is now so buried under sub menues, it takes you forever to find it, and it's the most basic setting, how and what order to play songs in a given folder.

I don't use it on my newer devises. There is so much annoying about, it could fill a book.

I must admit I too tried Power Amp in the early days but preferred UAPP for my use case and I haven't used PA since. Foe me it was Better the Devil you know I guess.
It's a shame to hear about these issues you and several users have had

My UAPP, since the last several days, no longer remembers the last song it played. On starting the app, the Playback window comes up empty and so is the Queue listing.

I had already tried clearing its cache and when that did not help, I deleted and reinstalled the app. Did not work also.

Can someone help please?

I'm having major issues with UAPP while streaming Tidal. It always crashes, sometimes after several songs and sometimes even on the first one. I don't know what to do anymore. Very frustrating. Battery consumption almost doubles when compared to Tidal alone regardless of the dongle I am using.

I wonder if it could be something to do with your SD card?--assuming you're talking about local files and that's your source drive. If it's Tidal I don't know.

You could try another SD card and see if it still happens. Are you on a phone, DAP?... what Android level? Did you recently update Android level or a security update? Could you try an older version of UAPP? If it's not a big deal I guess you try resetting settings in your player as maybe a conflict has developed.

In addition you could also make sure to delete settings too (along with cache) when delete/reinstall as it's remotely possible something is migrating from the old install to your new one.

I just checked with my smartphone with the latest UAPP (7.0.4.4) that's on Android 14, and with both local and Tidal it opened with the last song/album playing.

I went into UAPP settings and gave it a once over but I could not find a setting to check to open each session with last used track/ album but you might want to go thru with a fine tooth comb to make sure.

If you're on an older Android version that might be an issue. But regardless, I would try to delete cache, delete settings, uninstall, reboot and reinstall UAPP.

If it persists you could try an older version of UAPP and see if it stabilizes. There could be some kind of hardware/software conflict if it's something that recently cropped up from a UAPP update.

Yes, I will try all of that, as for Android I am using 14. But I believe I will solve this, I am more concerned about battery consumption when using UAPP, regardless of the dongle I am using, it is being battery drained a lot

Yeah, that one's a mystery. I don't use UAPP that often in USB-connected mode so I don't really know what's normal. Maybe someone else can comment that uses UAPP a lot with phones and dongles.

I use Uapp all the time; most uses are with a USB DAC (DC04Pro and Onix Xi1); I do not feel the extra drain. Xperia 1 IV phone.
