other option is to disable auto updates on google play for a bit. until things fully stabilize there will most likely be weekly updates. once stable it'll go back to about once a month

GMMP should never forget what was playing and NEVER change playback mode without the user doing it.. so that sounds like something is getting corrupt. typically clearing the apps cache/data fixes that up
As for connecting to the car stereo.. that requires the music service to be running.. if an update happened between the last time you ran the app and when you connected to the car, android could quite possibly not be restarting the music service. Usually keeping a widget on the homescreen keeps the music service running (since its required to keep the widget updated Newer versions of android are really aggressive at killing services running in the background.. but that was also the case for the old version
Also keep in mind that by default auto resume only works if playback was auto paused. There is a separate setting for always playing on connection (assuming the service is running)

"When I play a full album I have a play button on the album, so when i push that button it starts playing the first song and the next songs in the album order."
I dont understand what you mean by this. The only play buttons are typically in now playing and the mini player. Regardless playback order is defined by the order it shows in the queue. Also check the sort order of your album details view. It should be set to track number. Playing an album uses that sort order to determine the order its added to the queue.

yeah i mostly agree with you. The current implementation of android auto in GMMP was done many years ago when things were different (gmmp was basically one of the first 3rd party player with android auto support when it first came out).
i'll probably get around to revamping it eventually.. but if you take a look at my trello development tracker you can see what type of workload im dealing with with this app

What you are seeing is how it was designed. From very early on google stressed that android auto implementations be quick and simple since its typically operated while driving. Its the reason why there is a separate full integration setting to expose more than what is there by default Searching for specific songs or albums by a specific artist is intended to be done via voice search i believe. I'm not saying this wont change in the future but whats currently there is what was intended edit: while these are different than when i first implemented android audio years ago (which specifically gave examples against what you describe), the general idea still applies: developers.google.com/cars/design/design-foundations/interaction-principles#keep_information_current_and_glanceableedit2: also as far as i know auto does not allow a long press or adding menus to options.. so there is no way to either "browse an artist" and "play all songs from artist" using the same UI

i can add something to ONLY use embedded images for the playing file, but there is no generic art when there is no art detected. it would just appear blank (landscape mode centers the metadata on the solid color background)

Well i wanted to see your database so sending from the phone doesnt help. I wanted to see how your music was organized.. and its not that your music isnt tagged.. some of it is.. its a mix of both tagged and untagged. So yea that certainly is going to end up a mess. If everything was untagged completely it would have just be app put in a single album (or a handleful).. which i was going to suggest manually going in and unselecting the album art for it and then turning on the setting to prefer embedded art. I dont think thats possible tho since your phone has 80 some tracks with 40 some albums :/

My GoneMAD updated to 3.0.8 today, but this scanning problem persists. I transferred a song by Wifi today, and then I ran the scanner, but it did not seem to load the song's MP3 tags. I tried to play the new song by navigating to its folder. GoneMAD shows that the file is present, but it cannot play the song. That is different from what I saw in version 3.0.6, where I could play the new file even though the scanner did not scan its tags. The update prevents scans from adding newly added files with no tags. Assuming the file is transfered fully the next scan should get it. Try playing it and assuming it won't play immediately grab a logcats and send that in. It would show why it's not able to play. Gmmp is supposed to be able to play files not scanned in (it adds a placeholder in the database and then tells the scanner to populate the placeholder) Also send in an in app error report so I can look at your database

A small suggestion: It would be optically really nice to be able to pull the the minimized now playing bar and the overall now playing screen up & down to be able to switch between these 2 views (in a smooth transition like for example in the YouTube app). Greets not possible with the current UI design. now playing is a standalone fragment. The slide up you see when selecting the mini player is just a transition between 2 different fragments

could you send me an in app error report so i can take a look at your database. I might have an idea but i'd need to see that first. It should be in the general settings

"Need proof?You have a smartphone.Open the default player app that came preinstalled with your phone.Play a track from your library you know has no artwork.What do you see in the artwork area?Exactly. Not all people have the time or the patience to spend thousands of hours customizing the artwork of their collections.If my collection was like 50 albums i would be like ok..lets get over with this.But its not." Just wanted to point out that the default music player and any other music player that uses the android media library does not store album art on a per track basis, but at a per album level which is exactly what GMMP does. developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore.Audio.AudioColumns (notice there is no column for artwork). The key difference is how the android media store handles tagless files. It clearly does not put them together into the same album (i am not exactly sure how it groups them). It must be putting each individual track into its own album? edit: developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore.Audio.AlbumColumns#ALBUM_ART album art column is stored with the albums

the android 11 media controls are buggy. If the notification has a single button that is just a play button.. thats android doing that and not my app. I've found earlier versions of these media controls (which is probably what samsung is running) are buggy. Hitting play will start gmmp's music service and then immediately shut it down. If you launch the apps UI playback should work just fine (or play from a widget)
This is an android bug and there is nothing i can do to fix it unfortunately, however i believe its fixed on the android baseline. I dont recall seeing the issue on my pixel 4a anymore. so i'd assume other devices will eventually roll out the fix.
If both of you are not using the notification then let me know

double back to exit did/does not stop playback on 2.x/classic
edit: looks like 2.x had a separate setting to stop playing on exit.. but that had nothing to do with double back to exit
