GoneMAD Music Player 3.0.1 - 3.0.4

By

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

3.4.0

By
Plans for 3.4 changed a bit when google announced they will be hiding apps on newer versions of android if they dont target the newer sdks.  GMMP always tries to target one of the more recent versions of android, but the unlocker has no need for that since its essentially just a license key.  As of May 1st the unlocker will be hidden on newer versions of android to those who have not already purchased.  Because of this, the focus of 3.4 was to get in app purchases working to allow users to buy the full version after May 1st.  There is a new 'Purchase' section in the settings where the unlocker can now be purchased. One other change in 3.4 is the support for the Android 13+ media controls.  They changed around how to customize them, so that is reflected in a new 'Media Controls' section of the settings. The language can also be changed for just GMMP via the system settings The changelog itself is fairly small but I did a large update of all the libraries / dependencies t
