1.3 progress update

By
I just wanted to post a little update on my progress for the next major version.

So far out of the big features, I've finished coding bookmarking and the dsp limiter.  The limiter will prevent the audio from clipping (which causes bad distortion).  This will allow much more flexibility in the EQ settings used.  Boosting some bands up to the max will no longer sound bad. 

The addition of the limiter has led me to change around the equalizer view a bit to make control a bit easier.  The 'Toggle EQ' button has been removed from the menu.  Toggle buttons for enabling the EQ and the limiter are now added to either side of the preset spinner as seen below.


Along with the visual changes, I added 9 new equalizer presets: Bass Max, Bass & Treble, Classical, Techno, Club, Reggae, Soft, Rap, and Metal.

The bookmarking feature will now enable you to save your position when changing tracks.  There are 3 different settings you can use to determine what files get bookmarked.  'Bookmark Long Tracks' will let you set a song length and any track that length or longer will get bookmarked.  "Bookmark M4B" files will automatically bookmark m4b audiobook files.  Finally 'Bookmark Folders' let you designate specific folders to bookmark.  This option will be good if you have all your long podcasts/audiobooks in specific folders.

3.4.0

By
Plans for 3.4 changed a bit when google announced they will be hiding apps on newer versions of android if they dont target the newer sdks.  GMMP always tries to target one of the more recent versions of android, but the unlocker has no need for that since its essentially just a license key.  As of May 1st the unlocker will be hidden on newer versions of android to those who have not already purchased.  Because of this, the focus of 3.4 was to get in app purchases working to allow users to buy the full version after May 1st.  There is a new 'Purchase' section in the settings where the unlocker can now be purchased. One other change in 3.4 is the support for the Android 13+ media controls.  They changed around how to customize them, so that is reflected in a new 'Media Controls' section of the settings. The language can also be changed for just GMMP via the system settings The changelog itself is fairly small but I did a large update of all the libraries / dependencies t
