0.20 - True gapless playback + wavpack/wma support

I'm headed off to vacation tomorrow so here is a new version before I go.  The main feature I added was true gapless playback for every supported filetype (mp3/aac files need to be encoded properly to support it.. ie with itunes or lame encoder).  You can enable it in the new audio section of the preferences. 

I have gotten 2 different reports about force closes due to libraries failing to load.  This unfortunately is one of the downfalls to the android OS.  Different devices and even different firmware versions of the same device can have different versions of libraries that may be incompatible.  I implemented a work-around if the audioengine library fails to load.  GMMP will just run just with some features disabled.  I will try to come up with a better solution but without getting my hands the actual device.. it will be tough.

edit: I forgot to state that mp3 and aac gapless support depends on the device.  If gmmp cannot find a decoder it can use on the device, playback will still contain gaps in between tracks.

Changelog:
0.20 (06/28/11):
-Gapless playback supported (disabled by default due to potential higher cpu usage)
-Added ability to preload next track to eliminate the pause during track changes
    (incidentally this creates gapless playback for formats like ogg)
-Audioengine: Raised default priority of playback thread THREAD_PRIORITY_URGENT_AUDIO
-Audioengine: Lowered CPU/Memory usage for audioengine playback
-Added audioengine preferences for decode thread priority, playback buffersize,
    gapless playback, and preload next track time
-Updated notification to show the current track instead of "service started"
-File scanner will ignore files with unreadable tags
-Queue Album On Song Play Action option now works with the browser view
-New formats supported: Wavpack (wv) and windows media audio (wma)

fixes:
-Stop is called when the end of a playlist is reached (and loop/random is disabled)
-Fixed playlist bug if you had the same track in the playlist multiple times
-Audioengine: Cleanup audiotrack properly when stopping
-Audioengine: Fixed some minor seeking issues
-Audioengine: Fixed crash when stopping playback
-Caught exception for when audioengine.so fails to load.  gmmp will still work, but
    functionality may be limited (extra audio formats + gapless)

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...

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.
