Dafiend, glad I am not the only one! Agree with you on Poweramp and its lack of UI logic. It has too many options and takes too much work to set up a play list and I cannot see an easy way to do it on the fly. There is the "enqueue" option, but it only adds to the end, you cannot "play next". And whatever I do it always ends up playing random tracks from my library at some point - very disconcerting!
Currently trying Rocket Music Player which has recently undergone a major update I understand. It does nearly all I want and has much better UI logic, but I am finding it very laggy, settings don't stick through a reboot and it keeps losing my playlists. If it were slicker in use and had fewer bugs I would probably stay with it, but until then, still looking. Foobar is good on a PC, but I am not sure how well the UI will work when you don't have a full time keyboard and mouse to work with.
