GoneMAD Music Player

The unlocker is marked down to 0.99 USD until monday.  Enjoy!

I posted a hotfix for the smart editor rule groups being broken on the download page.  It will also go up on amazon eventually.  Google play will have to wait until 3.3 to get the fix unfortunately since I cannot post any updates until scoped storage support is added. Those who have downloaded from google play can sideload the apk from the download page and it should still stay linked with google play (so future updates will still download)

3.2 has been promoted to full public release after being in beta for a few weeks (its currently in review so may take a day or so to be available).  3.2's major addition was a tab based navigation a little more similar to the holo theme in GoneMAD Music Player classic where all the views are available as tabs at the top level.  Selecting a specific item will still launch a new view like in drawer navigation, but the top level is all tabs. 5 UI presets have been included in this release and I hope to enable the ability to save your own presets in a future update. Presets Cards Default Circle Holo Compact Due to googles enforcement of scoped storage starting in November and the fact that I am expecting a newborn in a few weeks, this will be the last update for a few months until things settle down. Full changelog: 3.2.0 (2021/10/06): New: -Added new tab based navigation mode (Settings - UI - Navigation) -Navigation mode can now be set based on orientation -Added 5 UI presets: De...

The beta track on google play has been reopened and 3.2 was pushed for testing.  It is still in review as we speak but it should go live in a few hours.  I will go into more detail on all the changes when 3.2 goes full release, but the main additions to 3.2 is a new tab based navigation mode.  This means you can recreate a holo like interface from 2.x very easily.  There is a Holo preset that can be used to help you get most of the way there. Direct downloads available on the download page For 3.2 feedback visit the forums:  https://gonemadmusicplayer.proboards.com/thread/1291/3-2-feedback Changelog 3.2.0 (2021/10/06): New: -Added new tab based navigation mode (Settings - UI - Navigation) -Navigation mode can now be set based on orientation -Added 5 UI presets: Default, Cards, Circle, Compact, and Holo (Settings - UI - Select Preset) -Improved library view loading performance -Delay auto database clean until at least a minute after booting the device -Reordered ...

3.1.3 will hopefully be the last update for 3.1.x.  I was able to fix all of the major bugs reported and minor bugs that were fixable with a reasonable amount of effort.  I'll shortly begin to focus on 3.2 which will mostly be a 100% tab based navigation UI option (similar to holo theme of GMMP 2.x).  I also plan on investigating better external/removal storage support.  If its possible to improve support without using the storage access framework, that'll be done for 3.2, otherwise it will have to wait until the next audioengine is ready (most likely). Google is requiring all app updates must target android 11 (which forces support for scoped storage) starting in november, so my goal is to finish up 3.2 sometime in early october.  This should allow enough time for any essential fixes before that november deadline.  Updating GMMP for scoped storage might take a few months so I wanted to get a release in before I was forced to support scoped storage. Changel...

The unlocker has been marked down 75% ($0.99 USD) for the 4th of july weekend.  Enjoy! Google Play Amazon

3.1 consists mostly of library updates and bugfixes.  The main library used by the audio engine, ffmpeg, was updated from 2.7.3 all the way to 4.4.  2.7.3 was released over 5 years ago, so this is a pretty significant upgrade.  The main reason behind the upgrade was to help with building a new audio engine.   A new engine is a long way off but I have began prototyping one based off of ffmpeg 4.4.  The 2 main drivers behind writing a new engine from scratch is to fully support hi-res audio and to support playback of other sources than just local files.  Being able to play network files (samba/upnp/dlna) has been a desire for a long time and I'd also like to be able to support some of the popular media server software like Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin.  My other app ( QuasiTV ) already interfaces with all 3 for video playback, so leveraging that code for audio playback would be pretty straight forward. When the engine does make its way into GMMP, it'll ...

This months update is mostly fixes again but I did add one useful new customization.  The gestures in the mini player can now be customized in the settings.  Also long press now defaults to opening the queue.  This change now means you have quick access to both now playing and the queue from the majority of the app. 3.0.16 (2021/05/12): New: Added ability to customize mini player gestures (advanced ui settings - mini player - customize gestures) Added toast to indicate tempo changes via button / gesture Fixes: Fixed bug preventing artist art search from overriding previously chosen album art Fixed issue parsing year from cue files On queue completion -> stop will reset track position back to the start of the queue Playing folders with .cue files should now correctly split into individual tracks Playing folders with embedded cue files should now correctly split into individual tracks Fixed issue displaying different metadata lines in portrait and landscape Fixed issue p...

Pushed another update.  Starting with a 20% rollout on google play.  Amazon will be updated in a few days once the roll out is finished. 3.0.14 (2021/04/08): New: Added multi-select remove to queue and playlist details Updated translations Associated album art will now show up in the manual artist art search Fixes: Fixed issue where cue tracks would get removed from library when cleaning the database Fixed various edit text UI elements text color Scrobbling multiple artist tracks will now be semi-colon delimited instead of comma delimited Album art fallback for artist art should now work again for auto searches

Note: 3.0.6 broke the back button in the folder view.  I pushed 3.0.7 fixing that which make take a bit to get approved.  Sorry! Folder view is now available as a tab. I also added some filename based presets to the browser. There were a lot of complaints about the 4x1 widget not being resizable vertically so a second 4x1 (listed as GMMP Resize 4x1) widget was added that you can resize.  The original reasoning behind not allowing resizing was because it scaled horribly, but I was able to fix up the layout so it scales decent (but still looks ugly on some devices which is why its a separate widget).  There are also some larger texted presets available for the 4x1 (shown in the 3rd widget below). 3.0.6 (2021/02/12): New: Added a few filename based presets to song display metadata (under minimalistic) Added folder view as a library tab option Replaced custom metadata creator icon Added help button to metadata creator ui Added 4x1 widget that can resize vertically (GMMP ...

I put up 2.x as a separate app on the play store named GoneMAD Music Player Classic.   https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gonemad.gmmp.classic You can now install 3.x and 2.x side by side if you so chose. Note: 2.x/classic is no longer maintained.  This is simply for easier access to the old version for those who prefer it.

I was not planning on releasing another update this quick but I discovered a critical bug with 3.0.4 that needed fixing asap.  On some devices, the scanner can just completely freeze and keep the database locked.  The entire app needs to read/write from the database to do pretty much anything.  Next update hopefully wont be until next week. 3.0.5 (2021/02/05): If you are having odd issues with the app, try clearing the app's data/cache and retrying New: Added basic fast scroll to browser and playlist details views Updated translation Fixes: Fixed scanner deadlock that freeze the scan and make the app unresponsive Last playing variable should now correctly populate date function now defaults to format YYYY-MM-dd if no date format is passed in Fixed some issues with GMMP showing up as a music player in other apps Fixed displaying unsynchronized lyrics that start with a bracket Fixed artist art always failing back to album artwork Art local cache search is now lower priority...

I've been insanely busy since 3.0's release last friday dealing with a few really bad bugs with the art searching and scanner that somehow slipped by the 2 years of public testing, the onslaught of 1 star reviews of users that were angry that I reworked/rewrote the app, and also helping the actual users who reached out to me with questions/bugs.  That is why there have been no new update posts until now. Just a reminder that 2.2.23 can be downloaded in the download section along with 3.0.4 here:  https://gonemadmusicplayer.blogspot.com/p/downloads.html  if 3.0 is not to your liking.  It was never my intention to force everyone to use 3.x. Also there are tons of help pages set up for 3.0 that you can access in app via the help menu or here:  https://gonemadmusicplayer.blogspot.com/p/help_28.html I'd also like to point out that there were some 2.x capabilities that did happen to slip by that I honestly just forgot to add into 3.0 like renaming tabs.  Honestly...

After four years of development, including a full year in alpha and another full year in beta, GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 is finally here.  It is a complete rewrite built around the same audio engine.  This means a brand new UI.  Nearly all the features from 2.x have also made a return and most of them have been significantly improved.  Some users, however, might be sad that the holo themes are gone, but old versions of GMMP can still be downloaded from the Downloads  page and on the forums .  I also set up a guide for customizing 3.0 to look similar to the Holo themes . Note: Thanks to everyone who participated in the beta.  The feedback received was great.  Be sure to leave the beta so you only get stable releases from now on.   How to leave the beta:  On GMMP's playstore page, scroll down towards the bottom until you see a "You're a beta tester" section.  There should be a leave button underneath that. Note 2: 3.0 moves most o...

3.0 should be fully released sometime next week.  I've also been populating a lot of the help pages that can be accessed from within the app.  I'll finish up the rest of them this week most likely 3.0 RC 1 (2021/01/23): Fixes: Fixed crash with quick nav in folder view Updated simple settings and removed an unused setting 'Songs' in album details should now get translated Fixed issues with play next/prev album where it would repeat the same album Context menu is now disabled when multi-select is active Pinned smart playlists should now refresh properly after changes to the playlist Other various fixes

3.0 is basically complete at this point.  Unless a massive bug pops up, 3.0 should be fully released by the end of the month.  There may be one or 2 more updates if there are translation updates or new bugs that are reported, but I've gotten through the massive 3.0 bug list and fixed everything that I think needs to be fixed for 3.0. GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 Beta 17 (2021-01-14): New: App shortcuts now use adaptive icons Added progress bar under quick nav to indicate if a folder is loading Slightly sped up transition speeds UI tweaks for tablet / chrome os Help menu in settings will open the most relevant help website for the selected setting screen Updated translations Fixes: Fixed smart playlists showing up blank Changing smart playlist group by is now applied immediately Now playing should update correctly after changing custom metadata Wait until storage access is granted before creating initial smart playlists Fixed situation where a song isnt loaded into queue after t...

 I think all the selection bugs caused by beta  15 have finally been resolved.  Please continue to report any issues as they pop up. 3.0 Beta 16 (2021-01-09): New: Album and artist art should show up much sooner during the initial scan Upgrading from 2.x should now import existing scan and ignore folders Updated translations Skipping track when at the end of the queue will now loop back to the top when no queue completion (stop) is set Updated: Renamed 'Trackname' to 'Track Title' Translation updates Fixes: Fixed selection issues with album details and playlist details Minor transition improvements Fixed issue where effects view would be blank Fixed issue changes to effects would not apply Fixed drawer icon showing instead of back arrow after screen rotation Fixed some widget configurations not opening GMMP when clicked Default smart playlist filenames are no longer translated GMMP widgets should now show after reboot Smart playlist editor's FAB should no longer hid...

 Beta 15 is mostly just fixes.  In my local debug build I enabled this library called Leak Canary which lets you run the app and will automatically detect memory leaks.  The 3.0 beta had TONS of leaks, so most of the time spent since the last update was on fixing the memory leaks.  I had to rework some of the UI code so hopefully nothing was broken.  If any button / item click no longer works please let me know.   Moving forward updates should be on a more regular basis.  Frequent updates help the translators out.  Help out with translating here:  https://localazy.com/p/gonemad-music-player   There is also a translation channel set up on the GMMP discord. Beta 15 (2021-01-03): New: Each detail view now has its own 'enabled views' setting Added help menus. Help pages are currently placeholders and will be populated later Added option to disable help menus (UI -> Show Help Menu) Update some translations Added ability to cust...
