Large library speed tests

I just got finished coding up a new data layer for my player. It allows you to use either the built in media store or the new database I setup specifically for the player. It is highly optimized for our needs and also allows me to implement new features such as album/artist/song ratings, tagging album/artist/songs, dynamic "views", playcounts, multiple artists per song, and probably a bunch more.

Anyway one of the issues I saw early on in my testing on my archos 5IT was the default mediastore could barely handle massive libraries. I have roughly 300 GB worth of music on it and want to be able to easily browse it all using a library. So I have 2 videos showing the speed comparison between my app using the built in mediastore (version 0.05) and then it using my new database (version 0.07). Response time for 0.07 is almost immediate, whereas 0.05 takes 5-6 seconds whenever you want to look at the albums for an artist.

This vid is 0.05.. sorry for it being sideways.

This is the much faster 0.07, ignore the crash at the end.. I have not implemented that feature using the new DB yet

Anyway. This is good for any other archos 5IT users. You will finally have a music player that can handle all your music.

GoneMAD Music Player 4.0 released and is now free!

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. W...

4.1.6

4.1.6 has some fixes and one more significant change. Previously if you decided to turn off the metadata text on the album grid so it only shows the artwork, this would force the same displayed metadata on views like artists -> albums. Some users preferred to show a list of albums instead of the grid when filtering by artist / album artist / etc. You can now set the metadata independently between the top level view and the filtered view like the images below. 4.1.6 (2025-12-12): Filtered album, artist, and albumartist list views displayed metadata can now be set independent of the top level list Prompt new users to add audio folders if less than 10 files detected in library Updated translations Fixed issue where multi folder albums scanner setting being off would still group albums in diff folders Fixed rare case where a tab would not load when using a very short custom tab name Fixed hebrew translation not showing up correctly on some devices Fixed bug where app op...
