0.24 Released - Album Artist support, EQ and Browser improvement, and much much more

By
There are a lot of changes in this version.  I went into detail on a few of the changes in my last post.  I provided screenshots of some of the other changes at the end of this post.

Download 0.24.1 Alpha

Edit: One thing I forgot to mention was I did include 7 presets for the equalizer.   They were designed and optimized for 10 bands, but the values are interpolated for any band count lower than 10.

Edit 2: A rescan is needed in order for the Album Artist tag to be picked up

Plans for 3.4 changed a bit when google announced they will be hiding apps on newer versions of android if they dont target the newer sdks.  GMMP always tries to target one of the more recent versions of android, but the unlocker has no need for that since its essentially just a license key.  As of May 1st the unlocker will be hidden on newer versions of android to those who have not already purchased.  Because of this, the focus of 3.4 was to get in app purchases working to allow users to buy the full version after May 1st.  There is a new 'Purchase' section in the settings where the unlocker can now be purchased. One other change in 3.4 is the support for the Android 13+ media controls.  They changed around how to customize them, so that is reflected in a new 'Media Controls' section of the settings. The language can also be changed for just GMMP via the system settings The changelog itself is fairly small but I did a large update of all the libraries / dependencies t
