GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 Beta 14

By

 Phase 2 has quickly come and gone and GMMP is now entering the final phase of the beta.  I already started working off the bug list and have included many fixes in beta 14.  Basically what is left before final release is fixes (of course), updated translations, help pages/documentation, and adding some basic onboarding to the player.

For translations I uploaded the existing translations on a new site called localazy.  It has a pretty easy to use interface and should allow the community to help with the translations.  Here is the page: https://localazy.com/p/gonemad-music-player  I am not 100% sure how it works for additional users contributing, so if you want to help with the translations just toss me an email and we can figure it out.  Just like before, anyone that significantly contributes to the translations can get a free promo code for the app if they so desire.  

To help make the translation process easier, I've gone through most of the existing strings in the app and removed all the unused one.  I am sure many have noticed that 3.0 has a lot less setting descriptions in the actual app.  The main reasoning for that is to cut down on the amount of content that needed to be translated.  I do plan on create tons of UI view specific help pages on my blog with much more detail on each setting and create youtube videos on how to use / customize the player.  

Beta 14 does contain a new icon.  I did not change the design too much from 2.x but I did round off the triangle corners and choose a single color. Here is what the updated adaptive icon looks like:

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...

Google really messed with alarms and timers for android 14, so 3.4.14 should fix the sleep timer.  You will notice an alarm will show up in your alarms menu when the sleep timer is turned on.  This is the only way to actually get the sleep timer to reliably stop playback on time when your screen is off / phone locked. 3.4.14 (2024-05-17): Sleep timer should now be more reliable on android 14+ 3.4.13 (2024-04-29) Fixed metadata view incorrect sizing in now playing layout 1 3.4.12 (2024-04-23) Updated translations Fixed issues with left and right metadata alignment when no album art Multi artist/genre/composers should now be separated by a comma and space throughout GMMP 3.4.11 (2024-04-16) Added ability to choose whether to crop album art to 1:1 aspect ratio in now playing layout 2 (customize -> album art -> crop to fit) Fixed now playing tab 1:1 aspect ratio album art getting cropped Album art preview pop up should no longer crop art 3.4.10 (2024-03-31) Fixed auto bookma...
