Preview: 0.24


Here is a quick preview of some of the changes in 0.24.  Screenshots were taken on cyanogenmod 7 which is gingerbread.  I should be finished by the end of the week.

Album Artist Tag Support:
Audio tags not only can contain tags for the artist and the album, but also a tag for the "album artist".  The album artist tag is used in compilations or mixed albums from electronic artists.  The artist view in gmmp now lets you toggle between viewing only the artists or only the album artists.  This allows less clutter in the list (take a look at the black sun empire entries and you will see the difference)

File Browser Improvements:
A bunch of various visual improvements were made.  There is also an option for the browser to read in the tags and replace the filename with "Artist - Songname".


Sorting Options for Library Views:
Artist, album, genre, and song views now have sorting options
Sorted by Album Year

Sorted by Album Name
Customizable QuickNavBar:
You can now enable/disable all the views except now playing and the playlist.
Genre and Song Views are hidden.  Note: Scan and About menu options were moved to preferences to reduce clutter

3.4.0

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
