A week later

I was on travel for work most of this week so I didn't get to work on my app as much as I wanted to, but I still managed to get a good amount finished.  I am trying not to spend too much time on the looks right now.  I did separate the app into 3 main views: the library, now playing, and the playlist.  You can navigate between all 3 with the menu.


I also made some major improvements with the playlist.  The only thing visually different is the italics + white font for the current playing the song.  I also made the playlist persistent.  The current tracklist is saved off to a database along with the current track you are listening to. 

I also added some new context menu options for the library.
Play: Will erase the active playlist and play either the artist, album, song or genre depending on what was pressed.
Play Next: this will que up the artist, album, song or genre to play right after your current song finishes.  This feature is a must for people with music ADD like myself.
Enqueue: adds the selection to the end of the playlist

I did some other things under the hood like a massive code cleanup and added logging.

3.4.14

Google really messed with alarms and timers for android 14, so 3.4.14 should fix the sleep timer.  You will notice an alarm will show up in your alarms menu when the sleep timer is turned on.  This is the only way to actually get the sleep timer to reliably stop playback on time when your screen is off / phone locked. 3.4.14 (2024-05-17): Sleep timer should now be more reliable on android 14+ 3.4.13 (2024-04-29) Fixed metadata view incorrect sizing in now playing layout 1 3.4.12 (2024-04-23) Updated translations Fixed issues with left and right metadata alignment when no album art Multi artist/genre/composers should now be separated by a comma and space throughout GMMP 3.4.11 (2024-04-16) Added ability to choose whether to crop album art to 1:1 aspect ratio in now playing layout 2 (customize -> album art -> crop to fit) Fixed now playing tab 1:1 aspect ratio album art getting cropped Album art preview pop up should no longer crop art 3.4.10 (2024-03-31) Fixed auto bookma...
