GoneMAD Music Player

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.

I was able to tackle two rare, but frustrating bugs with the scanner.  The first one was if you use cue files for your albums, and you happened to have a multi disc albums (each with its own cue file), they would not get grouped together.  The second was a bit more rare, but those who scatter their files from the same album into multiple folders may have ran into it.  Split albums would occur in cases where song X from the album was scanned in and then 100+ files unrelated to the album are scanned before song Y from that album is scanned.   Both issues are fixed and assuming the rules are followed from here: https://gonemadmusicplayer.blogspot.com/p/dealing-with-split-albums.html there should no longer be any split albums Changelog: 3.5.12 (2025-07-11): Multi disc cue albums should now correct group together (delete db and rescan required) Fixed issue where songs from the same album in diff folders could end up in split albums 3.5.11 (2025-06-24): Prevent r...

I pushed another minor update changing the behavior of the year based album sort modes.  When "desc" is selected, only the year will be descending and every field sorted after that will stay ascending. Old behavior: 2010 - Album 3 2010 - Album 2 2010 - Album 1 2009 - Album 1 2008 - Album 2 2008 - Album 1 New behavior: 2010 - Album 1 2010 - Album 2 2010 - Album 3 2009 - Album 1 2008 - Album 1 2008 - Album 2 Changelogs of the last few updates: 3.5.10 (2025-06-03): Sorting albums by year desc will no longer sort the other sort fields by desc as well 3.5.9 (2025-05-14): Fixed crash with a very specific combination of smart playlist rules Fixed jump to folder not always working in bottom nav Now playing bookmark menu option should now properly update on track change Fixed crash when too many notifications are triggered 3.5.8 (2025-04-30): Fixed various crashes 3.5.7 (2025-04-07): Fixed crash on music service shutdown 3.5.6 (2025-04-01): Fixed some various crashes Fixed issues sort...

Another stability update 3.5.5 (2025-03-18): Added embedded cue support to wv, mpc, and ape Added support for multi genre in m4a/mp4 files tagged with mp3tag Fixed crash in audioengine Fixed MusicService not being restarted if stopped and GMMP UI is open Fixed ANR opening lyrics UI Fixed crashing trying to delete a folder Fixed other various issues Apks are available on the download page

I've been focusing on stability so these last 2 updates mostly addressed application not responding (ANR) errors and crashes reported on google play console.  Remember, in general I cannot fix issues that I don't know about it, so if something appears broken to you feel free to reach out on the forums or reddit.  Preferably with steps to reproduce the issue, but just making me aware does help out. 3.5.3 (2025-02-19): Fixed ANR when using the file / folder selector Fixed issue with now playing / mini player art loading incorrectly Fixed crash in the search view 3.5.4 (2025-02-28): Album layout 2 will now correctly show the album duration when not showing duration for each track Fixed some issues on shutdown Fixed fast scroll for a lot of the lesser used sorting modes Fixed case where tracks in a smart playlist wouldnt play when selected Fixed some warnings on android 10+ trying to theme some edit text elements Fixed potential crash when showing the context menu Fixed potential ...
