2.0.26 - SD Card write access on 5.0+

The next GMMP is finally ready to get out of beta.  Most of the time was spent working on allowing write access to music on the sdcard.  You now should be able to edit tags of files on the sdcard and delete files.  When you first try to do a write action on your sdcard, you will be prompted with a message with instructions.  The standard android device select UI will then come up and you will have to select the root of your sdcard and select okay.  This will grant GMMP access to write/edit any file in that selected location.  The number of beta testers with sdcards is fairly small so I would not be too surprised if there was a minor bug here or there.

On another note, if you are looking for a way to obtain a free promo code for the unlocker, consider helping with translations:

GoneMAD Music Player 4.0 released and is now free!

GoneMAD Music Player 4.0 is now fully rolled out!  After 14 years since initial release as being a paid app, I've decided to try something different and switch to being free with ads.  The market is completely different nowadays compared to the early 2010s.  Ads are everywhere and users typically do not want to pay for apps / games / etc.  But don't worry, those users who previously purchased the unlocker or in app purchase unlock will continue to get an ad free experience.  New users will also have the option to purchase an in app purchase to permanently remove ads.   Note: There is a bug with 4.0 where users with the standalone unlocker may see ads when they first upgrade.  You typically fix this by just force stopping the app and restarting.  Ads should not come back after that.  Alternatively you can contact gonemadsoftware@gmail.com and I can help you out as well.  I have no intention on making users who already paid see ads.

4.1

4.1 marks the end of life for Android Lollipop (5.0/5.1).  Some of GMMP's dependencies require the SDK level 23 or higher, so I was forced to also increase the min sdk to 23 (android 6.0).  According to the google play store statistics there are around 50 or so users on 5.0/5.1, so I do apologize for dropping support.  10 years of support is fairly decent nowadays anyway.   I've also increased the target SDK to android 16.  With this increase I had to account for the forced "edge-to-edge" that google is making all apps support.  If any UI element ends up behind the navigation buttons, certainly let me know.  I am pretty sure I did everything correctly but I only had one device that I was able to test on (pixel 6a) 4.1.0 (2025-09-03): Updated target SDK to Android 16 Updated dependencies Updated translations
