3.5.12

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...

3.5.10

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...

3.5.3 & 3.5.4

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 ...

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...
