GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 Beta 4

I will keep this update short and sweet. Beta 4 adds tons of new functions (and a few more variables) to now playing and I was able to address most of the playlist performance issues. The playlist details view now is a paginated list (only loads chunks of 50 at a time), and removed some of the file validation. A 25k playlist file that used to take 17 seconds to play should now play in 3-4 seconds.

The custom metadata forum post will be updated with all the new capabilities shortly https://gonemadmusicplayer.proboards.com/thread/1066/gmmp-3-custom-metadata-info

Here are some screenshots of the new $rating function which will take the rating variable %ra% and change it into a starred rating.

3.0 Beta 4 (2020-04-07):

New:

-Added custom metadata variables for skipcount, playcount, queue position, queue size, and filesize
-Added a bunch of new custom metadata functions: arithmetic, logic, control flow, and text manipulation
-Added $rating to format %ra% into stars
-The color tag for custom metadata now takes any color hex string
-Added 'Jump to Library' shared action
-Now playing toolbar menu will no longer show actions for any button added to now playing
-Playlist details list is now paginated

Fixes:
-Fixed bug causing the volume to mute after closing volume dialog
-Custom metadata list should now correctly refresh after importing from json
-Fixed swipe delete in playlist details
-Fixed issue that would require a theme reset to fix
-Improved large playlist performance

Note: Google Play updates are taking longer than normal due to covid-19 so I do not know when the update will go live.

3.4.17 and 3.5 Beta 1 Released

I was not planning on putting out any more 3.4.x updates, however google refused to approve the 3.5 beta due to some policy updates that caused the existing 3.4.x version already released to no longer be compliant. Therefore 3.4.15-3.4.17 are basically the work I've been doing on 3.5 for the last 16 months, but with all the new features disabled. I would like to put them through more testing before enabling to the public, hence the beta. 3.4.17 (2024-10-25): Fixed crash on android 14+ trying to verify the unlocker 3.4.16 (2024-10-24): Fixed multi select in album details highlighting the wrong item 3.4.15 (2024-10-23): Update target api level to 34 Updated dependencies Manual scans are no longer ran in a foreground service due to google's new policies Last played time added to song info pop up Fixed issue where extra space was added in artists with numbers in name Increased full search limit from 100 to 10000 results Fixed issue with files missing tags showing up in the unkno...

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. W...
