GoneMAD Music Player

I posted a new build of the DashClock Music Extension (1.7.0) that adds support for Amazon MP3.  If you install the update and are currently listening to a song in amazon mp3, you must change tracks before it will properly show up. I also wanted to officially announce the beta of my Music Extension for Floating Notifications.   It will display the playing track and artist along with music controls.  There is also a pro upgrade you can purchase which will show album art instead of the play icon (this works for most players but just in case I provided a way to test to see if your album art shows up before purchasing the upgrade).  Please note you must download the beta of Floating Notifications as well.

A few fixes and a change to support a Floating Notifications music extension I am working on. 1.4.16.6 (08/16/2013): -Fixed issue where songs would always bookmark when the music service would shutdown -Album art location is now broadcasted out along with the playing song information -Bitrate is now estimated for M4A / ALAC files if the bitrate cannot be read from tags 1.4.16.5 (08/09/2013): -Fixed issue where sort order would not take effect until backing out and reselecting the item -Fixed many of the album sorting options when "ignore prefix" is enabled -Fixed crash when changing album art for albums that didnt have album art to begin with (caused by 1.4.16.4.. sorry!)

I've made some decent process on transitioning the UI over to using fragments. Im trying to do a bunch of code cleanup in the process so it is taking quite some time.  In the meantime here are some more bugfixes.  If this release causes any issues please uninstall/reinstall before filling a bug report.  There is nothing in this release that should make anything worse; its all simple bug fixes. 1.4.16.4 (08/07/2013): -Albums view 'Artist Asc/Desc' sort now sorts by Artist then AlbumName -Added 'Artist - Album Year Asc/Desc' sort option for albums view -Fixed issue where auto pause/resume would be applied until the option was changed in the preferences. -Fixed case where album art would not update in now playing after selecting a new image -Fixed crash when trying to read unknown id3 frames -Fixed potential crash when reading an invalid adts aac file -Bookmarks are now properly saved when exiting or letting the music service timeout -Fixed bug with restoring...

There were some compatibility issues with 4.3 which was released earlier today, so I fixed those problems along with a few other fixes and put out a new update. 1.4.16.3 (07/25/2013): -Updated for android 4.3 -File scanner will now read files in a folder in alphabetical order -Russian and Chinese translations updated -Fixed for icons showing incorrectly in folders with cue files -Fixed potential crash in tag editor -Fixed rare crash when loading the audioengine libraries -Fixed crash caused by an invalid saved playlist position

I've mentioned many times how I planned on doing a big UI overhaul and that time is finally here.  The current GMMP was designed back when honeycomb was first released and since that was tablet only and not very good, it was mostly ignored by developers.  The UI itself is mostly custom code I wrote since the widgets at the time were just not enough for what I wanted to do.  Since then we've seen google release the UI guidelines  and 3rd party libraries become popular like ActionBarSherlock  that just make the whole user experience so much better than it used to be. For the last year I've put my focus into adding features/customization that I felt were necessary in a good music player.  I've done minor UI changes here and there but for the most part things have been pretty similar for awhile.  In general it is hard to design a new UI when your feature set is constantly changing.  With the release 1.4.16, I believe there is a solid feature set in ...

Minor updates fixing some crashes 1.4.16.2 (07/18/2013): -Fixed crash when long pressing a smart playlist and selecting play 1.4.16.1 (07/15/2013): -Fixed crash on startup for ARMv7 devices running gingerbread I was planning on doing a post about 1.5/2.0 tonight but I was notified that one of my favorite bands was in town tonight (Amaranthe, the band on the main gmmp image on google play), so my night was busy with that.  Im gone for the weekend so i'll try to post something early next week.  It'll be awhile until 1.5 is done but I like to keep the community informed on my plans

This should be the last update of the 1.4.x line (there could possibly be one more update with bug fixes of they pop up).  It contains a bunch of odds and end I wanted to add in before moving on to the UI rework.  I have already started some work on 1.5.  There will be another post later this week on what you can expect for the next major update. Edit: If gmmp crashes on startup be sure to update to 1.4.16.1.  There seemed to be some compatibility issues with ARMv7 devices running gingerbread. 1.4.16 (07/14/2013): -Embedded album art will now correctly show on the ICS lockscreen controls -Fixed potential ANR when changing repeat modes -Added 'Date Added' sorting order -Pressing the 'Playlists' tab a second time will now reset the view -'Ignore Prefix When Sorting' now applies to album lists when sorting by artist -Fixed album count in the genre view for artists in multiple genres -Added default replaygain setting to use when no RG tags are found -Imp...
