GoneMAD Music Player 3.0.5

By

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 than embedded and in folder searches
  • Split view changes on tablets should now apply right away


Since im posting I might as well mention some of the newer changes in the previous patches.

Renaming Library Views

You can now rename the library tabs in the Toolbar Menu - Customize - Enabled Views UI.  




In App Custom Metadata Creator

This is still very much a work in progress, but you can now create simple custom metadata entries from within the app.  When selecting the displayed metadata customize option from the toolbar menu, there is now a plus icon at the top that will open up the creator.  Right now you can set the alignment, font size, and then type in variables / text / etc


Folder View and Playlist Detail View Fast Scroll

I turned on fast scroll on those 2 views.  This was a quick change since there were a lot of users asking for it, so there is no "bubble" that pops up to show where you are in the list.  That will be added later.


List: Compact View Mode

There were many complaints about having too much wasted space, so a compact list view mode was added to put list items closer together.  This will set the minimum height to be much smaller than the regular list.

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...

GoneMAD Music Player 4.0 released and is now free!

By
GoneMAD Music Player 4.0 is now fully rolled out!  After 14 years since initial release as being a paid app, I've decided to try something different and switch to being free with ads.  The market is completely different nowadays compared to the early 2010s.  Ads are everywhere and users typically do not want to pay for apps / games / etc.  But don't worry, those users who previously purchased the unlocker or in app purchase unlock will continue to get an ad free experience.  New users will also have the option to purchase an in app purchase to permanently remove ads.   Note: There is a bug with 4.0 where users with the standalone unlocker may see ads when they first upgrade.  You typically fix this by just force stopping the app and restarting.  Ads should not come back after that.  Alternatively you can contact gonemadsoftware@gmail.com and I can help you out as well.  I have no intention on making users who already paid see ads.
