1.3.11 now available

By

There is a good amount of fixes/improvements since the last update plus some minor additions.    The majority of bugs that have been reported to me are now fixed, so I will now focus on working on the next major update, 1.4.  The focus will be on dynamic/smart playlists along with the addition of a rating system.  I will also be putting out an x86 version of GMMP in the next few weeks.

There might be 1 or 2 more updates under 1.3.x if there are some bugs that need to be addressed.  Just like the last few major updates, I will post a 1.4 beta on the forums after a few weeks of development.

Enjoy!

Changelog:
New:
-Added option to remove silence at beginning and end of non gapless tracks
-Added option to jump to now playing after selecting something to play (Prefs -> Library -> Return to Now Playing)
-Added option to toggle whether the database is cleaned after deleting a file (Prefs -> Library -> Browser -> Clean DB After Deletion)
-Added new sort options for all songs: 'Album Asc/Desc" and 'Album Year Asc/Desc'
-Added %MPLAYSTATE to tasker integration.  Values are either "PLAYING", "PAUSED", or "STOPPED"
-Added option to adjust the volume when receiving AudioFocus requests (Prefs -> Audio -> Playback -> AudioFocus Volume)
-'Select Album Art' added as a gesture option

-Filename is now used in the ICS lockscreen controls if trackname tag is not populated

-Invalid audio files are now ignored
-Playlists view will now keep its position when the screen rotates

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.

4.1

By
4.1 marks the end of life for Android Lollipop (5.0/5.1).  Some of GMMP's dependencies require the SDK level 23 or higher, so I was forced to also increase the min sdk to 23 (android 6.0).  According to the google play store statistics there are around 50 or so users on 5.0/5.1, so I do apologize for dropping support.  10 years of support is fairly decent nowadays anyway.   I've also increased the target SDK to android 16.  With this increase I had to account for the forced "edge-to-edge" that google is making all apps support.  If any UI element ends up behind the navigation buttons, certainly let me know.  I am pretty sure I did everything correctly but I only had one device that I was able to test on (pixel 6a) 4.1.0 (2025-09-03): Updated target SDK to Android 16 Updated dependencies Updated translations
