3.0 Album Art Selector Preview

I've been working on the album art downloader and album art selector for the last few days and i wanted to show off the progress.  The album art search was completely rewritten using retrofit.  Its quite a nice library.  The old album art search was about 5 times as much code as the new version.  Its great how easy retrofit makes making web calls.  Over the years gmmp has gone through a bunch of different album art search providers (google, bing, amazon, and itunes), but now all thats left is itunes.  Fortunately their api is very simple and it appears they auto scale their album art images based on the resolution you request.  Instead of returning a single image, the album search will now return 4 options: small (600x600), medium (800x800), large (1000x1000), and very large (largest size available on itunes.. usually 1600x1600ish). Whats shown in the video below is just a rough cut at the album art selector

GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 Alpha 9

Alpha 9 brings the smart playlist editor.  It is still missing a few features I want to add but that will come later.  Its been about a month since the last release so I needed to get this out there.  There are a few new things in smart playlists compared to 2.x.  You can now make rules based off skipcount and composer.  You also can link to another smart playlist.  Linking will essentially import all the rules into your current playlist. The 2 remaining major smart playlist capabilities that will be coming in the future is the ability to do advanced rule logic through rule groups and the ability to set the top level of the smart playlist (albums, artists, tracks, etc).  I may get to them in the next alpha, but for now I am going to be changing priorities and focusing on the album art downloading and art selector.  Those should be fairly straight forward compared to the smart playlist features. Note: be careful if you use any of the new capabi...

Just wanted to show a video of the current state of the smart playlist editor.  I'm hoping to have alpha 9 finished by the end of the next week but it may take a little longer.

GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 Alpha 8

This update is mostly fixes unfortunately but I did add a UI customization that I think a lot of users should like.  The ability to add/remove library views and change their order. Since I added full composer support, I did not want to add a composer tab to everyones UI when I know it is not a commonly used tag, so I made this view order customization a priority. 3.0 Alpha 8 04/17/2019: New: -Added skip count (advancing when less than 25% played for now, will be configurable in the future) -Skip count now available in smart playlists -Skip count added to song info dialog -Disc number added to the tag editor for folders -Added full composer support including composer view -View order customization option to the library view.  Can choose the tabs and the order Improved: -Improved finding files in playlists Fixes: -Fixed a bunch of issues in smart playlists with random sort order -Smart playlists should now be listed in alphabetical order ...

2.2.21

Pushed a new 2.x patch.  The automatic album art download ended up broken due to amazon's album art search no longer working.  I switch things to use the other album art source, so that functionality should be restored.  Additionally there was still some issues with ogg album art that were fixed as well. 2.2.21 (03/21/2019): -Fixed some more album art issues -Fixed automatic album art downloads

GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 Alpha 7c

This update is mostly bug fixes but I did add a few things that should have been there from really early on in the alpha (like the shuffle context menu options).  You can also rate multiple files, folders, and tracks at the same time with the multi select. 3.0 Alpha 7c (03-12-2019): New: -Added shuffle to context menu in most views -Added shuffle to multi select action menu for most views -Added Enqueue All On Selection advanced setting -Added Database Stats in the advanced scanner settings -Added rating to multi select actions for tracks, files, and folders -Default smart playlists are now correctly installed if they dont exist Fixes: -Removed unused tag editor option in playlist list context menu -Removed unused song info context menu option for playlist files in folder view -Folder view should now use the selected scan paths for the top level folders -Improved album grouping for various artist albums in the same folder with no album artist tags -Fixed multi f...
