3.0 Work in Progress 13: Cuesheet improvements

By
Most of the work I've done since the last post has been behind the scenes so there is not too much to show.  I rewrote the audioengine management piece (what handles the interaction with gonemads audioengine, android media player, and chromecast), rewrote the crossfade code, and cuesheet handling.

Cuesheets are something that the majority of gmmp's user base probably does not use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cue_sheet_(computing), but they are a nice feature.  For those who do not know, a cue sheet allows you to listen to a single large audio file as if it was split up into tracks for each song.  GMMP has always had decent support for CUE files (they would appear as individual tracks in the library views), however in the folder browser they would just appear as a .cue file and the single mp3 / audio file. 

In 3.0, the folder browser will actually extract and list the individual tracks in a CUE instead of the single file.

Below is what the actual folder on disk looks like.  This example is a single cuesheet with 5 separate hour long mp3 files (its a electronic/trance mix i believe).

Folder view from solid explorer

This is how it will now appear in GMMP 3.0



Cuesheets can also be embedded into the tags of files.  GMMP supports that as well



Next up will be the new equalizer / effects UI.  I will most likely also rewrite a lot of the underlying DSP/EQ code as well.

Google really messed with alarms and timers for android 14, so 3.4.14 should fix the sleep timer.  You will notice an alarm will show up in your alarms menu when the sleep timer is turned on.  This is the only way to actually get the sleep timer to reliably stop playback on time when your screen is off / phone locked. 3.4.14 (2024-05-17): Sleep timer should now be more reliable on android 14+ 3.4.13 (2024-04-29) Fixed metadata view incorrect sizing in now playing layout 1 3.4.12 (2024-04-23) Updated translations Fixed issues with left and right metadata alignment when no album art Multi artist/genre/composers should now be separated by a comma and space throughout GMMP 3.4.11 (2024-04-16) Added ability to choose whether to crop album art to 1:1 aspect ratio in now playing layout 2 (customize -> album art -> crop to fit) Fixed now playing tab 1:1 aspect ratio album art getting cropped Album art preview pop up should no longer crop art 3.4.10 (2024-03-31) Fixed auto bookma...
