GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 Beta 7

By
Beta 7 is mostly a maintenance release but I did add a few new customizations.  I had a few requests to re-add the randomize option back to the queue, so I added that back.  There is a slight bug when using randomize where the queue view will jump somewhere close to the middle of your list, but the position will auto update once the track changes.



The album / artist / album artist details views now have the option to disable the artwork at the top.




Finally, the ability to customize remote control (bluetooth / headset) actions was readded.  I tried to make it a bit simpler by removing the "single button mode" setting.  If your remote control only has a single button, android considers it the "headset" button, which is one of the buttons listed to customize.  The actions available are slimmed down to actions that only really make sense with the display off, so its not the full set like the now playing buttons or gesture actions.







Edit:

One other thing I forgot to mention was the new option for dynamic themes to theme artist / album / album artist detail screens based off that specific selections art colors.  This is off by default since the colors can conflict with the rest of the theme, but I wanted to put the option there.  




3.0 Beta 7 (2020-06-08):

New:
-Added 'Randomize' to queue menu
-Added 'primary' and 'primarydark' as color options for custom metadata
-Added options to set the percentage used to increase skipcount/playcount (advanced -> audio -> other)
-Added customize option to hide artist/albumartist/album artwork in the details view

-Added internal dynamic theme color blacklist to prevent choosing certain colors
-Added 'stop' as a shared(gesture/button) action
-Added the ability to customize remote control actions (Advanced Settings -> General -> Remote Control)
-Updated appcompat and constraint libraries

Fixes:
-Fixed bug where amplifier UI would show 2db even if set higher
-Fixed dynamic theme coloring on various dialogs
-Fixed text cursor showing in the toolbar for a few seconds when element is first displayed
-Fixed other various crashes

GoneMAD Music Player 4.0 released and is now free!

By
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

By
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
