Alpha 17 brings 2 fairly significant additions/improvements: sort tags and auto dj Improved Sorting GMMP's scanner will now read 4 new tags: Artist Sort Order, Album Sort Order, Album Artist Sort Order, and Composer Sort Order.  The tag editor has been updated accordingly.  For users who have files with multiple artists/composers/etc, the sort order tags work in the same way.  If your artist tag has 3 artists semi-colon delimited, the artist sort tag should also have 3 sort orders semi-colon delimited (see 4th image below). Composer list sorted by composer sort order Sorting is always improved by the return of the ignore prefix feature.  This is available to the majority of the lists and by default will ignore 'A' and 'The' prefixes.  In the 3.0 beta I will open this up to customization.  To use these 2 new sorting methods, I added a sub menu under the sort menu named 'Modifier' (if anyone has a better name for this feel free to ...

Filters GMMP now has the ability to add filters to existing views to customize what shows in an existing view/tab.  Under the hood they are just smart playlist rules that get added to the regular library query.  Right now I have only added 2 filters, but in the beta there will be a way to add your own filters.  The 2 filters are "Hide Podcasts" and "Hide Audiobooks" (to go along with the new audioview library view).  These filters are off by default since they can slow down the database queries a bit (depending on the size of your library), but they are useful to completely separate your music from your podcast/audiobooks.  You can also now set specific paths for your audiobooks / podcasts in the scanner settings. Embedding Album Art The tag editor can now embed album art into your tags.  Single files / songs can have art embedded and so can entire albums.  I've also restored the "Prefer embedded art" setting. Original embedded art...

It looks like over time android auto decided to change the way it sends its voice searches to music players so I pushed a new update that should improve playing by album, artist, and genre 2.2.23 (10/16/2019): -Improved voice searching when search type is not defined (android auto does not define the type)

Alpha 15 adds the ability to cast to any device that supports the cast api (like the chromecast).  This also marks the completion of the last major feature from 2.x that was missing.  There are still a few smaller capabilities (outside of customizations) that are missing, but those are not nearly as much work as the major features.  GMMP now implements the cast api 3.0, so this means the volume rocker will now change the cast volume..... sometimes.  On my one test device it seems to random change what volume it is controlling.  I will look into this further and hopefully have a solution for the next alpha. One thing to note is that since I ended up updating some of the libraries, it really messes up the UI until you either clear the cache or change the theme.  I put a check in to manually reset the theme if upgrading from a previous alpha to this one and it seemed to fix things on the device I tested on, however if the UI basically looks like its split ...

Minor update for android 10.  Google play has some new requirements for apps to support 64 bit devices so I unfortunately was forced to remove some of the older versions for kitkat and below.  Despite adding a x86_64 version along with the existing arm64 version, the google play console refused to let me submit the update unless deactivated the others.  I opened a ticket with support but everyone should know by now that google play support is basically non existent. Not sure when they it will go live since google has a new review process, but the amazon version should be live by tomorrow. 2.2.22 (09/23/2019): -Notification will be automatically inverted on android 10 when night mode is active

I was able to get another released finished this week.  Its fairly minor but has some nice lyrics improvements and fixes.  lrc lyric files are now supported (the filename must be exactly the same as the audio files filename except having a .lrc extension) and synchronized lyrics are now fully supported.  The lyrics view will highlight the current line and the view will auto scroll when the playing line moves off screen (this can be turned off in the options).  I also added supported for 2 lyric apps (musixmatch and quicklyric).  If neither are installed you will be prompted to download one, otherwise you are prompted to choose which of the installed apps to use to search for the lyrics. Lyrics opened in QuickLyric Next up chromecast support!  I am guessing Alpha 15 will take at least 3-4 weeks to complete. 3.0 Alpha 14 (2019-09-19) New: -Added lrc lyric file support (must have same filename with lrc extension) -Lyric view will highlight...

Development is moving along at a nice rate now and im hoping to have the alphas finished by the winter.  Alpha 13 has a bunch of nice additions. Year View Improvements The year view now offers the ability to group multiple years together in the year list.  For now you can group by either 5 or 10 years.   Pin Smart Playlist to Library I had hinted at this ability before, but now its finally available.  Smart playlists can now be pinned to the library and essentially become a custom view.  The podcast view added in alpha 12 is essentially the same thing, but instead of referencing a smart playlist on disk, its referencing a hard coded playlist.  The upcoming audiobook view will also leverage the same capabilities.  Pinned tabs can be removed through customize -> view order from the 3 dot menu on the toolbar. Lyrics UI GMMP now has a UI to view embedded lyrics. 'Show Lyrics' option should now be added to ...
