3.0 Beta 2 adds some more now playing customizations. New Now Playing Layout I added the ability to choose between 2 different now playing layouts.  The original layout has been tweaked so the album art no longer gets cropped. As you can see from the above screen shot, there is a lot more empty space on some phones.  I have plans for a future beta to add more optional "quick action" buttons to take advantage of the extra real estate.  You can also customize the metadata displayed to show more lines (see next section). The new layout is a bit more dynamic in the sense that it will resize things to fit.  The album art does not stretch to the edges of the UI and sits underneath the top toolbar.  Right now layout 2 is not customizable, but in beta 3 I plan on adding the ability to change the background (solid color, album art background, or blurred album art background), change how the main art is rendered (off, square, rounded corners, circle), change a...

I just pushed 3.0 beta 1 to the play store and it should be available to download in the next few hours.  Anyone that was part of the 2.x beta should still be in the 3.0 beta.  For anyone else there are instructions on how to join the beta here:  https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/7003180?hl=en I created a new thread on the forums for the beta, so please post feedback there:  http://gonemadmusicplayer.proboards.com/thread/1049/gonemad-music-player-beta-feedback 3.0 Beta 1 (2020-01-01): Complete rewrite besides the audioengine.  See about -> changelog for all 3.0 Alpha changes New since Alpha 19: -Auto art search triggered on 3.0 upgrade -Show trial dialog on first startup if unlocker is not installed -Scanner will now remove missing artist art during cleaning -Random track is added to queue on initial scan -Added new artwork section of the settings and added options for auto download and wifi only downloading -Set artist and albumartis...

Alpha 19 marks the end of the alpha barring any major bugs.  All future updates will be via the google play store.  I will post when the beta has started with instructions on how to sign up.  I am planning for the beta to start right around the start of the new year.  I want to give this alpha some time to get tested since I will have to remove the main bug reporting tool before posting on google play due to the GDPR.  Google play does have its own bug reporting but its not as good as fabric. Art Updates I made some improvements to the art searches and also updated the scanner to run an auto search if no artwork is detected on the device.  To prevent hammering the search providers, I limited the queries to 1 artist/album a second, so large collections will take a long time to fully populate the art. App Shortcuts Android 7.1 (i think) added the ability to add app shortcuts to the icon on the homescreen.  GMMP now has 3.  Play, Shuffle A...

Artist Art Alpha 18 adds the ability to search for artwork for artist and album artists.  I added in 3 internet based artist artwork sources and also added 2 more album artwork sources.  Selecting 'Artist Art' from the context menu will now bring up the artist art selector UI.   Items in the art selector now have a 3 dot menu with 2 options.  Select and Preview.  Select will choose that image for the artist/album/album artist.  Preview will pop up the image in a bigger display.  This helps with picking the best quality image.  Right now only one of the art apis actually returns the resolution of the image, so the preview is the best way to make sure you are picking the right image. The artist and album artist detail views now will also show the artwork if present. New Library Item Layouts Since artists have imagery now, it made sense to add a grid view.  In the process of adding that I ended up adding...

Alpha 17 brings 2 fairly significant additions/improvements: sort tags and auto dj Improved Sorting GMMP's scanner will now read 4 new tags: Artist Sort Order, Album Sort Order, Album Artist Sort Order, and Composer Sort Order.  The tag editor has been updated accordingly.  For users who have files with multiple artists/composers/etc, the sort order tags work in the same way.  If your artist tag has 3 artists semi-colon delimited, the artist sort tag should also have 3 sort orders semi-colon delimited (see 4th image below). Composer list sorted by composer sort order Sorting is always improved by the return of the ignore prefix feature.  This is available to the majority of the lists and by default will ignore 'A' and 'The' prefixes.  In the 3.0 beta I will open this up to customization.  To use these 2 new sorting methods, I added a sub menu under the sort menu named 'Modifier' (if anyone has a better name for this feel free to ...
