Hey all. 3.3.x has a lot of engine changes and the beta channel on google play has like 1500 users, so i wanted to put out the beta on here first to make sure there are no critical issues. I am just posting the ARM64 apk, which should be what most devices from the last 4-5 years support. If your phone isnt ARM64 then you will have to wait until I post all the versions on google play. Besides the dependency / library updates, 3.3.x's main focus is bug fixes. I don't expect many new features (if any at all). Info on MANAGE_EXTERNAL_ACCESS permission3.3.6 (2022/06/22) New: -Added media actions to Year Details View toolbar menu Fixes: -More mediasession metadata updater tweaks -Handle case where playing info doesnt update on tracks with no genre -Multiple selection media action sort order should now match single selection -Genre details media actions should now mach sort order of the genre list -Sort Modifiers are now used for genre, artist, albumartist, composer, and year actions -Multi-select from search view should use correct sort order for actions -'Stop after current' should now correctly loop back to the beginning of the queue when repeat queue / loop queue is enabled -Fixed transition crash when tabs are arranged in a certain order -Fixed AutoDJ 'Different Artists' selection mode from selecting the same tracks every time

Could I just ask a couple of questions about downloading outside the play store and testing this version?
Does 3.3 include the fix for smart playlist rule groups?
Also, if I install this version, will I still be notified of updates in the play store and it won't affect my license?

I just Installed with no apparent problem -- wanted to try this to test the fix for the notification update issue on my Samsung phone that started after the update to Android 12. Will try out later today and see.
I notice that this is running as a trial; it isn't recognizing that the unlocker is installed. I assume that this won't be a problem if the Play store beta arrives within 14 days.

3.3.0 (2022/03/09): New: -Updated ffmpeg to 5.0 -Updated other dependencies No issues playing MP3, M4A, or ALAC files in my library. No other formats available for me. Fixes: -Fixed issue where albums with the same name in diff folders with diff years would get grouped together Confirmed this is working as expected. I have two different "Greatest Hits" from Queen, one from 1992 and one from 1994. They are split correctly. Fixes: -Fixed issue where notification / mediasession would show the wrong playing info Notification updates are updated immediately on all track changes, with manual and auto-advance. Album art is correct. Fixes: -Fixed gapless playback for some files that previously had issues Gapless is working on all tracks that I tried in M4A and ALAC. Fixes: -Renamed 'Backup Settings' to 'Back Up Settings' In Advanced Settings list, The second-last menu still shows "Backup" (no space). When selecting this item, the header title is now "Back Up Settings" (with the space). The second menu item shows "Backup Stats" (again without the space).

I assume that this won't be a problem if the Play store beta arrives within 14 days. I'll take a look into it. Standalone apk should still work fine with the unlocker but i'll verify.. and yea assuming i didnt majorly mess something up the play store beta would work fine with the unlocker

"In Advanced Settings list, The second-last menu still shows "Backup" (no space). When selecting this item, the header title is now "Back Up Settings" (with the space). The second menu item shows "Backup Stats" (again without the space)."
Backup by itself is correct as its the Backup portion of Backup & Restore, a noun. "The verb form, referring to the process of doing so, is "back up", whereas the noun and adjective form is "backup". - wikipedia
I'll update backup stats to back up stats. Honestly forgot there was more settings under there

Also, if I install this version, will I still be notified of updates in the play store and it won't affect my license? mentioned in the OP "Note: you should be able to install this over the version installed from google play and you should still continue to get updates via google play" I've done it in the past, so i assume it still works. If you dont want to risk it, you probably just wait for it to go on google play. I only planned on doing the side apk download for a few days to make sure things arent completely broken (which im glad i did because the current download is on the 3rd iteration already). The license is supposed to work since the apk is identical to whats on google play, but another post mentioned going back to the trial so i'd have to look at that

Huh. Thanks. I'll try reverting, then updating again. UPDATE: Nope, that didn't fix things. I still get the "Unlocker Not Installed" message in 3.3.0. It's not a manual install issue per se, as my manually installed 3.2.9 shows "Full version Unlocked" as it should. I've also noted another weirdness on my phone: in 3.3.0, the "Back Up" menu is missing: the menu goes from Bookmarks to About with nothing in between. I'm running Android 12 on a Samsung S10e.

Strange, it shows here with Advanced turned on, but is one of the topics that disappears with it off. Guess @gonemad will need to advise.
