GoneMAD Music Player

4.1.6 has some fixes and one more significant change.  Previously if you decided to turn off the metadata text on the album grid so it only shows the artwork, this would force the same displayed metadata on views like artists -> albums.  Some users preferred to show a list of albums instead of the grid when filtering by artist / album artist / etc.  You can now set the metadata independently between the top level view and the filtered view like the images below. 4.1.6 (2025-12-12): Filtered album, artist, and albumartist list views displayed metadata can now be set independent of the top level list Prompt new users to add audio folders if less than 10 files detected in library Updated translations Fixed issue where multi folder albums scanner setting being off would still group albums in diff folders Fixed rare case where a tab would not load when using a very short custom tab name Fixed hebrew translation not showing up correctly on some devices Fixed bug where app op...

Here is a list of all the changes since 4.1: 4.1.5 (2025-11-03): Updated translations Added Filipino, Indonesian, and Hebrew translations 4.1.4 (2025-10-24): Updated translations More improvements to admob initialization Improved some error handling on startup 4.1.3 (2025-10-22): Fixed rare ANR when initializing admob 4.1.2 (2025-10-15): Fixed various artist albums with no albumartist tag being split in android auto Fixed ANRs updating audioengine settings Other minor fixes 4.1.1 (2025-10-24): Restore settings would restore a few settings that should not get restored Show correct now playing layout when editing buttons in split ui mode Fixed status bar icon color with white theme when rotating now playing Last Played will now only show in the song info pop up if track was played Fixed more issues with smart crossfade crossfading between consecutive tracks Other various fixes

4.1 marks the end of life for Android Lollipop (5.0/5.1).  Some of GMMP's dependencies require the SDK level 23 or higher, so I was forced to also increase the min sdk to 23 (android 6.0).  According to the google play store statistics there are around 50 or so users on 5.0/5.1, so I do apologize for dropping support.  10 years of support is fairly decent nowadays anyway.   I've also increased the target SDK to android 16.  With this increase I had to account for the forced "edge-to-edge" that google is making all apps support.  If any UI element ends up behind the navigation buttons, certainly let me know.  I am pretty sure I did everything correctly but I only had one device that I was able to test on (pixel 6a) 4.1.0 (2025-09-03): Updated target SDK to Android 16 Updated dependencies Updated translations

There have been a few updates for GMMP 4.0 fixing issues since the release.  This post covers all of them so far.  4.0.4 should hopefully be the last one for a bit.  I think I fixed everything that has been reported so far that I could reproduce. 4.0.4 is currently in review and should be available on Google Play shortly Changelogs: 4.0.4 (2025-08-22): Fixed crash playing audio with more than 8 channels Fix rare crash trying to seek Crossfade errors should no longer stop playback Fixed date added getting set incorrectly on a long/restarted initial scan Fixed issue updating album artist art for album artists with no associated tracks Fixed smart crossfade. It will no longer incorrectly crossfade on consecutive tracks Status bar icon color should now match toolbar icon color Fixed some text / button colors when using dynamic theme 4.0.3 (2025-08-18): Updated translations Another audioengine fix 4.0.2 (2025-08-14): Smart playlists should now show the correct results when nav...

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. W...

I was able to tackle two rare, but frustrating bugs with the scanner.  The first one was if you use cue files for your albums, and you happened to have a multi disc albums (each with its own cue file), they would not get grouped together.  The second was a bit more rare, but those who scatter their files from the same album into multiple folders may have ran into it.  Split albums would occur in cases where song X from the album was scanned in and then 100+ files unrelated to the album are scanned before song Y from that album is scanned.   Both issues are fixed and assuming the rules are followed from here: https://gonemadmusicplayer.blogspot.com/p/dealing-with-split-albums.html there should no longer be any split albums Changelog: 3.5.12 (2025-07-11): Multi disc cue albums should now correct group together (delete db and rescan required) Fixed issue where songs from the same album in diff folders could end up in split albums 3.5.11 (2025-06-24): Prevent r...

I pushed another minor update changing the behavior of the year based album sort modes.  When "desc" is selected, only the year will be descending and every field sorted after that will stay ascending. Old behavior: 2010 - Album 3 2010 - Album 2 2010 - Album 1 2009 - Album 1 2008 - Album 2 2008 - Album 1 New behavior: 2010 - Album 1 2010 - Album 2 2010 - Album 3 2009 - Album 1 2008 - Album 1 2008 - Album 2 Changelogs of the last few updates: 3.5.10 (2025-06-03): Sorting albums by year desc will no longer sort the other sort fields by desc as well 3.5.9 (2025-05-14): Fixed crash with a very specific combination of smart playlist rules Fixed jump to folder not always working in bottom nav Now playing bookmark menu option should now properly update on track change Fixed crash when too many notifications are triggered 3.5.8 (2025-04-30): Fixed various crashes 3.5.7 (2025-04-07): Fixed crash on music service shutdown 3.5.6 (2025-04-01): Fixed some various crashes Fixed issues sort...

Another stability update 3.5.5 (2025-03-18): Added embedded cue support to wv, mpc, and ape Added support for multi genre in m4a/mp4 files tagged with mp3tag Fixed crash in audioengine Fixed MusicService not being restarted if stopped and GMMP UI is open Fixed ANR opening lyrics UI Fixed crashing trying to delete a folder Fixed other various issues Apks are available on the download page

I've been focusing on stability so these last 2 updates mostly addressed application not responding (ANR) errors and crashes reported on google play console.  Remember, in general I cannot fix issues that I don't know about it, so if something appears broken to you feel free to reach out on the forums or reddit.  Preferably with steps to reproduce the issue, but just making me aware does help out. 3.5.3 (2025-02-19): Fixed ANR when using the file / folder selector Fixed issue with now playing / mini player art loading incorrectly Fixed crash in the search view 3.5.4 (2025-02-28): Album layout 2 will now correctly show the album duration when not showing duration for each track Fixed some issues on shutdown Fixed fast scroll for a lot of the lesser used sorting modes Fixed case where tracks in a smart playlist wouldnt play when selected Fixed some warnings on android 10+ trying to theme some edit text elements Fixed potential crash when showing the context menu Fixed potential ...

 GoneMAD Music Player 3.5 is finally here after about a year and a half of development.  Most of the new additions are not enabled by default but I did include a new UI preset named 'bottom' that will use the new now playing layout and the new bottom navigation mode.  Enjoy!
