0.13 Released

By
So here is the change log for 0.13
-MusicService changed to a Foreground Service
-MusicService now uses PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK at minimum during playback
-FileScanner uses PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK during scans
-Added preference to set WakeLock mode during playback
-Scanner sends notifications for start and completion
-Refresh options menu option added for artist/album/genre/song that will requery the library
-Added preference use the volume buttons to go to next/prev track (Only works when screen is on)
-Added preference to use the power button to pause/play (Only works when screen is on && not on all devices)
-All views (besides now playing) will return to now playing view when the back button is pressed
-Preference for automatic pause/play on headset plug/unplug

fixes:
-Menu shows up in the artist/album/genre/song views
-Fixed issue where you couldnt delete the database without a scanpath added
-Scanner was ignoring files who's extension was not all lowercase

The important things to note are that playback will not stop when the screen goes off and there is now an option to pause/play your music automatically when you plug/unplug your headphones

Edit: I have noticed a few issues with 0.13 while using it today, one being the scanner stops after 2 artists or so which is fairly major so use 0.12 til i can fix up the build

Download 0.13 here

Note: I experienced one crash on my thunderbolt when I enabled the volume button override and pressed vol up to go to the next track.. but I was unable to reproduce it... so if anyone else gets that please let me know

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
