I just installed Gonemad music player on my new Samsung Tab3. Everything works well except the tag editor. If i try to edit the track information from the now playing screen, the corrected data is not shown after saving, but the album art disappears.
Everything worked fine on the Samsung Tab2 and even on a cheap Denver tablet, but I am not able to edit the tags on the Samsung Tab3. My friend has the same tablet and also uses the Gonemad music player and it doesn't work for him either.
Samsung Galxy Tab3 SM-T113
Android version 4.4.4
MP3's on 32GB micro SD card

I have the same issue on my Xperia which runs Android 5.1 (stock ROM)  I'm able to update any MP3 tag (year of the album, in my case), I can save it, I see the modification when browsing the collection, no error or warning during the whole process, but after few minutes, the updated attribute is reverted back to its original value. Killing GMMP, relaunching it, rebooting the phone or running the scanner after the update doesn't change anything. Any idea? |

3rd party apps cannot edit files on sdcards on 4.4+.. what happens is the database gets updated but if you have the scanner set to scan and update every file. the next scan will get whats in the tags again

No, that can't be the reason: my Xperia was running 5.0 few weeks ago and I was able to edit the tags with GMMP. And with this 5.1 version, other applications like quickPic can delete some files on the sdcard while it was impossible with KitKat.
And I read Google allowed again apps to edit files on the sdcard with Android 5.0...
One highlight: my update in the tags is reverted back to the initial value few minutes after the update even when not running the scanner...

try reinstalling. There is absolutely nothing in gmmps code that would do this. It sounds like android is not writing the database to disk (this is in the android sdk and not in gmmp's code)

I tried, but no way... Each update in the tag is not taken into accound by GMMP.
I also tried to update some album arts (Internet download in GMMP): impossible to get these new ones visible in GMMP, I still see the old ones! but when I look into the folder in which the album arts are downloaded, I see the new pics! I tried to delete the database, rebuid it, erase the albums art cache, reboot the phone... Nothing worked... It's like if an old database is taken into account by GMMP apart from the one I update within GMMP. So weird...

Mmmmm, I think I understood the album arts issue. It seems it's due to the way I indicate in GMMP settings the location of the folder storing the arts. In my case, it's in the folder AlbumsArt of the internal storage of my phone. So I can refer to this folder using different ways:
- /sdcard/AlbumsArt
- /storage/emulated/0/AlbumsArt
- /storage/sdcard0/AlbumsArt
- /mnt/sdcard/AlbumsArt
- ...
I have a normal behaviour (new album art taken into account immediately after download) in GMMP only if I set the path as "/sdcard/AlbumsArt"
Could the mp3 tag update issue be due to the same kind of reason, i.e. the way I indicated the folder where my musique is stored?

Pffff, in fact, it's a real mess, I don't understand the logic... Impossible to have a correct behaviour... Even the solution I found for the albums art is not good. Now, all my albums are indexed twice...
How am I supposed to set the paths?

put the album art in the folder with your music. The folder in the settings is for the internal cache

You mean to copy all the albums arts from the folder there are downloaded, as I specified in the setting, to the folder where all my albums folders are?
Not sure I understand. And I don't why it worked perfectly in the past and now I have these issues...

And I don't why it worked perfectly in the past and now I have these issues... well nothing has changed at all with album art so i dont know why you are having issues. There hasnt even been any updates in awhile. And yes iw as suggesting you put your album art in the same folder that the album is in |

I activated the option to download the art in the same folder as the album (all my albums are on te SDCard). When downloading a new art, it is not saved on the SDCard, and in fact saved nowhere on the phone. To summarize the behaviour I observed, it is like if GMMP is not able to do any write operation on the SDCard. I understood nothing has changed in GMMP around the albums arts management for a while. But it seems Google introduced in Android 5.0 some new APIs to allow the full SDCard management from other providers. This is what I read in various articles. For example: www.androidpolice.com/2014/11/04/android-5-0-makes-sd-cards-great-again-extends-api-to-allow-full-directory-access-automatic-mediastore-and-improves-security/Doesn't it mean the GMMP source code should be updated to cover Android 5.0+ devices? |

I dont make a living working on this app. I do it as a hobby. When i do get time working on the app, there are other things I consider more important that get my attention first. trello.com/c/UV1DFJlT as you can see its been scheduled for 2.1 |

Thank you for you answer. Just to make things clear, my message was not at all a criticism. As written many times, GMMP is with no doubt the best Android music player. I tried many others (N7Player, Poweramp, Sony stock app, Google...) and GMMP is symply and really the best, better than other apps developped by people not doing it as a hobby... I use it every day and am still an ardent partisan even if I notice some minor bugs from time to time. But no problem for me to wait for them to be fixed. Thanks again, for the app and your answer  |
