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

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

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...
