GoneMAD Music Player

As devices have been slowly getting the upgrade to ICS, I have noticed that not all of those upgrades have a completely stable version of opensl.  So if you experience crashing after playing each song or trying to change tracks, or if playback seems to be going in slow motion, you should disable opensl.  1.3.7 added an option to do so (uncheck preferences -> audio -> enable opensl).  This will revert the player to use the decoders from 1.3.5 So far i've seen issues on these devices: -htc incredible running an alpha jb rom (not being stable is expected for this) -galaxy s2 with the 4.0.3 update (playback is slowed down for mono 48khz mp3s) -Cube u9gt2 running 4.0.x (crashes deep in the opensl libraries after every mp3/aac track) Hopefully this is not an ongoing trend as more devices get updated to ICS

Microsoft is deprecating their image search on august 1st so the latest update of gmmp is now using a replacement service.  The results seem to be more accurate. 1.3.7 (07/31/12): -Replaced album art download service (old one stops working as of August 1st) -Improved album art searches for poorly tagged albums -Improved image loading speed when scrolling the album list -Increased the timeout for loading large audio files -Added option to use older mp3/aac decoders instead of opensl (uncheck Prefs -> Audio -> Enable OpenSL) -Fixed crash related to cue files -Fixed restore crash on HTC Sensation 4G (4.0.3)

My friend just started a new site and asked me to write something up on GMMP Read here: http://thepult.com/gonemad-music-player/

I was meaning to get this update our earlier in the week but ended up having to work out some stability issues.  During the testing period i was able to make a small change that should give a big visual improvement to older devices.  The background gradient is now MUCH smoother and shouldn't band anymore. The big change in this update is OpenSL is now being used for mp3/aac decoding for ICS+.  Jelly bean removed the aac decoder that GMMP was using so now opensl is taking over that role. Also all the skins were updated with new translations and some other minor adjustments. Note: Amazon users will get this update in a week or 2 1.3.6 (07/22/12): New: -Added delete to artist, album, song, and genre views -Deleted songs, albums, artists, etc are now removed from the database after deleting -MP3 and AAC are now decoded with OpenSL ES on 4.0+ (HE-AAC v1/v2 now supported) -Added czech translation Improvements / Changes: -Upgraded taglib to 1.8 beta -Gesture rec...

GMMP finally got approval and is now able to be purchased on the Amazon app store. Trial Unlocker

Since September 2011, GMMP has been downloaded 100,312 times.  Pretty crazy! Development wise, the next update should be out in the next few days.  It includes: -Gesture recognition improvements for larger screen sizes -Playing a folder with playlist shuffle enabled will now start at a random position instead of always the first track -Added delete to artist, album, song, and genre views -Fixed playback of multichannel (3-6) flac files -Fixed AAC playback in 4.1 -MP3 and AAC are now decoded with OpenSL ES on 4.0+ (HE-AAC v1/v2 now supported)

If you experience bad skipping on your SGS3, go to settings -> sound -> auto haptic -> off.  It is some odd feature that analyses the audio output and vibrates the phone with the sound.  It causes GMMP to skip like crazy, so disable it if you want smooth playback
