1.4.3 - Ratings now read from tags

When I was working on the 1.4 update, I had written a bunch of code to extract ratings out of tags, but I apparently forgot to add the rating extraction to the scanner.  The scanner will now read ratings from the files so importing ratings is a bit easier.

1.4.3 (01/30/13):
-Added option to bypass the android keyguard/lockscreen (Prefs -> General -> Lockscreen -> Bypass Keyguard)
-A .nomedia file is now added to the default album art location (gmmp/albumart) when its first created
-Added /Removable, /extSdCard, and /storage/sdcard1 as default paths if they exist on the device
-Added options to add/remove 'All Songs' and 'All Albums' from the genre view (Prefs -> Library -> Genre -> Add 'All Songs' / Add 'All Albums'
-Added options to add/remove 'All Songs' from the artist view (Prefs -> Library -> Artist -> Add 'All Songs'
-Genre tags are now only formatted when the format tags option is enabled in the scanner (requires rescan)
-Toggling repeat will now update the next track accordingly on now playing
-Fixed next/prev track with repeat on to always repeat the current track
-The android EQ will attempt to be used if the GM dsp library fails to load
-Fixed crash with the context menu in the queue view
-Fixed crash involving notifications when a few consecutive tracks fail to play
-Reset 'Disable ICS Lockscreen Controls' preference and added a warning due to it disabling AVRCP 1.3 support
-File scanner will now read the rating from the tags and store it in the database
-Fixed issue where previously scanned files had a 'null' rating instead of 0
-Added sort options to the top level of the smart view (Name and Date)
-Updated Spanish, German, and Japanese translations
-Fixed bug where the next track's metadata would show up blank in now playing
-Fixed reading cue files that start with a track number higher than 1

GoneMAD Music Player 4.0 released and is now free!

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

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
