GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 Alpha 16

By

Filters

GMMP now has the ability to add filters to existing views to customize what shows in an existing view/tab.  Under the hood they are just smart playlist rules that get added to the regular library query.  Right now I have only added 2 filters, but in the beta there will be a way to add your own filters.  The 2 filters are "Hide Podcasts" and "Hide Audiobooks" (to go along with the new audioview library view).  These filters are off by default since they can slow down the database queries a bit (depending on the size of your library), but they are useful to completely separate your music from your podcast/audiobooks.  You can also now set specific paths for your audiobooks / podcasts in the scanner settings.


Embedding Album Art

The tag editor can now embed album art into your tags.  Single files / songs can have art embedded and so can entire albums.  I've also restored the "Prefer embedded art" setting.

Original embedded art

Same art is associated with the album

Edit art for the single track in album

Embedded art selector is similar to the regular album art selector

New embedded art was chosen for the file

The album's art is still the same, but the tracks embedded art was changed

Lyric Editor

The tag editor also will let you add/edit lyrics to the tags.  The UI will show the raw text stored in the tags, so synchronized lyrics will have a lot of extra text that may look odd.

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
