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 just completely forgot about that feature. That being said, nearly everything you could do in 2.x you can do in 3.0. Settings have moved to be more accessible so you dont have to dig deep to tweak the UI (Toolbar Menu -> Customize).
A few new features were added in the 4 updates since 3.0 were released and I'll try to make another post highlighting them. For now here are their changelogs
