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.

I once used Poweramp, and don't recognize this part. Have you checked if some settings can change the app's behavior? As I recall it has a lot of configuration options. But otherwise try GoneMAD Music Player. With this you can choose either Play, Play Next or Enqueue on a track/album. It is my current player of choice. Only annoying thing (for me) is that it scrobbles in radio-mode (-not -permanently storing played tracks on your last.fm profile). It's on my to-do to make an error-report or comment to the author about this. /Stig Nygaard http://www.rockland.dk http://www.last.fm/user/rockland http://www.discogs.com/user/StigNygaard https://google.com/+StigNygaard Server: LMS 7.8.1-1402661598 (20140624) on ReadyNAS Ultra 2 Controllers/players: Squeezebox Classic, 2x Squeezebox Touch, 2x OrangeSqueeze/SqueezePlayer Stig Nygaard's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4236 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101821 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] OT - Best Android phone music player
I am looking for a music player with music selection and playlist logic as close as possible to Squeezebox - particularly Orange Squeeze. In fact, if Orange Squeeze could index and play the music on my 64GB microSD card then I would be a happy bunny. I currently use Poweramp but get very frustrated with the way it works. I just want to choose a track or album and either play it, add it to the end of my current list or play it next. I never seem to get Poweramp to do that. I choose an album, select play and it plays just the first track before choosing some random track from my library! Not logical at all captain... Any suggestions?

Re: [slim] OT - Best Android phone music player
I use MixZing, and it works well. However, I don't think it has a play next feature, just an add to current playlist. And I do occasionally wish for a play next. If you find your dream player, please let us know!
