GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 Alpha 10

Album art downloading has now be readded back to gmmp in alpha 10.  The process should much easier to deal with compared to 2.x.  Now all possible images are shown at once in an image grid similar to the album list view.  


Text under each image will give more explanation.  If the image is local to your device, it will say either "Current Image", "In Folder", or "Embedded" depending on where gmmp found the image.  After that it will show various resolution images found online.  Very large will be the full resolution, Large is 1000x1000, Medium 800x800, and Small is 600x600.  Select a new image for the album and the rest of the UI will update to reflect the new album art.

Another significant capability added in Alpha 10 is the ability to set the top level view used for smart playlists (referred to in the UI as "group by".  You can now set the top level to be Album, Album Artist, Artist, Composer, Genre, or Track.


The following images will show the same smart playlist, but with different "group bys" chosen.  One thing to note is the "order by" only applies to the track list, the other top levels will be sorted by the sorting options in the toolbar.

3.4.17 and 3.5 Beta 1 Released

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!

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.
