Preview: 0.24

By

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

3.4.17 and 3.5 Beta 1 Released

By
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!

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.
