GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 Beta 3

By

Now Playing Customizations

Beta 3 ads a lot more customization to now playing and has a new default layout (2).  The customize menu now contains some new entries: Buttons, Background (layout 2 only), Album Art (layout 2 only), and Time Remaining


A new row of 6 buttons was added below the album art.  These new buttons, the fab, and the 4 bottom row buttons besides play/pause can all be changed.  The following video shows how button customization works.

Background style options:


Blurred

Album Art

None
Tweak background parameters


Album art style options:
Sharp

Rounded

Circle

None
Layout 1 also got some tweaks.  The floating action bar is now hidden if any of the extra button row is used.  Layout 1 on smaller devices doesnt exactly give much room for more than a few metadata lines, so it makes sense to still use the FAB.  Using the button customization the FAB's main action and long press action can be customized.




Finally, a new "Material Black" theme was added.



Importing Custom Metadata

The metadata selection UI now has an import button to import custom metadata line json files.  See this forum post for info on building a custom json file:

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
