GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 Beta 9

By

Auto-DJ was the main focus of beta 9.  Song selection was modified to prefer tracks not recently played (last played longer than 14 days ago).  Genres can now be selected for auto dj (just like smart playlists) and the default auto dj selection mode can now be chosen.  

Available selection modes:

  • Random - Songs are picked at random
  • Rating - Prefer songs rated greater than or equal to the min rating setting (seperate setting)
  • Recently Added - Prefer songs added within the last 2 weeks
  • Different Artists - Will attempt to not repeat an artist until all have been played once

Selection mode and a few other options are available under a new advanced settings section named Auto-DJ.  This section also contains a "Rules" entry which shows whether auto dj is using a smart playlist, genre, or using the default selection mode to choose songs.

Notification buttons can now be customized

Up to five actions can be added to the notification and up to 3 of those actions can be shown in the compact version of the notification.  Those limits are actually an android limitation and not just numbers I chose.  The list of actions available are basically the same as the widget button actions.

3.4.17 and 3.5 Beta 1 Released

By
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...
