GoneMAD Music Player 3.2 Full Release

By

3.2 has been promoted to full public release after being in beta for a few weeks (its currently in review so may take a day or so to be available).  3.2's major addition was a tab based navigation a little more similar to the holo theme in GoneMAD Music Player classic where all the views are available as tabs at the top level.  Selecting a specific item will still launch a new view like in drawer navigation, but the top level is all tabs.

5 UI presets have been included in this release and I hope to enable the ability to save your own presets in a future update.

Presets

Cards

Default

Circle

Holo

Compact

Due to googles enforcement of scoped storage starting in November and the fact that I am expecting a newborn in a few weeks, this will be the last update for a few months until things settle down.

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
