GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 Alpha 12

Edit: Looks like the release build of alpha 12 is broken so i took down the links.  Will try to fix asap Edit 2: Fix is up.  Download links should now point to 12a Alpha 12 brings back widgets.  They cannot be customized yet (will come in the beta) but in general they are much more responsive than the 2.x widgets.  There are a lot of different customizations already coded, but since there is no UI for setting up the widgets yet I tried to find some good defaults. Here are some of the customizations on the 4x1 widget Album Art background Blurred art background 3 buttons Different metadata lines Alpha 12 also adds 2 new views.  Podcast view and Years view.  Podcast view is a bit of a look into a future feature that will allow custom library tabs to be created out of smart playlists.  Behind the scenes the podcast view is just a smart playlist (genre contains podcast or filename contains podcast).  The years view ...

GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 Alpha 11

Alpha 11 adds the final piece to the smart playlist functionality.  You now will be able to mix both AND and ORs (any rule / all rules) in the playlists through smart rule groups.  Inside each group you can add anything you could at the top level of the smart playlist (rules, groups, or links to other playlists). Top level of the playlist showing 2 groups First group that matches all rules Second group that matches any rule Viewing playlist contents Besides the smart playlist groups, I also added the ability to use the android image picker to select album art and added some new sort options for the folder view. Icon in the top left will open image picker that is shown below Next up will be widgets and a few new views/tabs (podcasts and years).  I expect widget work will be spread out over a few releases similar to the other big features I've done so far in this alpha. 3.0 Alpha 11 (07/18/19): New: -Added some smart playlist val...

GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 Alpha 10

Album art downloading has now be readded back to gmmp in alpha 10.  The process should much easier to deal with compared to 2.x.  Now all possible images are shown at once in an image grid similar to the album list view.   Text under each image will give more explanation.  If the image is local to your device, it will say either "Current Image", "In Folder", or "Embedded" depending on where gmmp found the image.  After that it will show various resolution images found online.  Very large will be the full resolution, Large is 1000x1000, Medium 800x800, and Small is 600x600.  Select a new image for the album and the rest of the UI will update to reflect the new album art. Another significant capability added in Alpha 10 is the ability to set the top level view used for smart playlists (referred to in the UI as "group by".  You can now set the top level to be Album, Album Artist, Artist, Composer, Genre, or Track. The followin...

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...
