2.2 Released - Android Auto support & On Sale for $0.99 USD through March 12th

By
2.2 is finally ready to go.  Major updates were the additional of Android Auto support, a new m4a decoder (a lot of devices shipped their 6.0+ updates with broken opensl decoders, which gmmp previously used for m4a playback), and a lot of voice search improvements.  Also included are a few nice bug fixes that should improve stability.

One other thing to note is GMMP 2.2 (and 3.0 hopefully later this year) requires an android device running at least 5.0 or higher.  5.0+ represents about 80% of the active installs, so it was time to increase the minimum to take full advantage of the newer apis.

This is the playback screen when in landscape 

Menu options

More menu options (Artists, Albums, and Genres are off by default but can be enabled by turning on the Full Android Auto Access option)

Queue with the icon next to the current playing track

Playlists menu combines both smart playlists and playlist files

All Artists

Albums

View when outside of the music player in Auto.  It has widgets for each auto app

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.
