GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 Beta 2

By

3.0 Beta 2 adds some more now playing customizations.

New Now Playing Layout

I added the ability to choose between 2 different now playing layouts.  The original layout has been tweaked so the album art no longer gets cropped.


As you can see from the above screen shot, there is a lot more empty space on some phones.  I have plans for a future beta to add more optional "quick action" buttons to take advantage of the extra real estate.  You can also customize the metadata displayed to show more lines (see next section).

The new layout is a bit more dynamic in the sense that it will resize things to fit.  The album art does not stretch to the edges of the UI and sits underneath the top toolbar.  Right now layout 2 is not customizable, but in beta 3 I plan on adding the ability to change the background (solid color, album art background, or blurred album art background), change how the main art is rendered (off, square, rounded corners, circle), change album art backgrounds darkness/opacity, and finally change the blur factor of the background art.


Customize Displayed Metadata

In beta 2 you can now choose from a couple hundred different metadata presets.  A future beta will expose more metadata options and the ability to create completely custom lines, but for now you get to choose from a list of presets.





Presets are broken down in to multiple categories.  The 3 main categories are: Minimalistic, Default, Detailed and each has 4 different size variations.



So now you can easily fill in some of the extra empty space in now playing with a more detailed metadata display.


Customize Gestures

You can now customize gesture actions via the customize menu in now playing.  The overall feel of the customize UI should be about the same as 2.x






Here are the landscape versions of both layouts

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.

4.1.6

By
4.1.6 has some fixes and one more significant change.  Previously if you decided to turn off the metadata text on the album grid so it only shows the artwork, this would force the same displayed metadata on views like artists -> albums.  Some users preferred to show a list of albums instead of the grid when filtering by artist / album artist / etc.  You can now set the metadata independently between the top level view and the filtered view like the images below. 4.1.6 (2025-12-12): Filtered album, artist, and albumartist list views displayed metadata can now be set independent of the top level list Prompt new users to add audio folders if less than 10 files detected in library Updated translations Fixed issue where multi folder albums scanner setting being off would still group albums in diff folders Fixed rare case where a tab would not load when using a very short custom tab name Fixed hebrew translation not showing up correctly on some devices Fixed bug where app op...
