First of all, congratulations on the release of version 3.0, it looks really nice. I have a problem however that prevents me from upgrading. In my current phone the scanner randomly stops scanning and starts again. This also happened on version 2.x. I looked for information on how to solve the issue but found no solution. I can work around the issue in version 2.x if I select the option "Only scan new files". The scanner will restart a couple of times but will eventually finish when there are no more new files. The option is sadly gone from version 3.0, so the scanner will never finish. Please bring back the option or make scanning only new files the default behavior. Thanks in advance. GMMP 3.0 only scans files that have changed since the last scan making that old setting redundant. Android oreo added background limitations where jobs can only run for so long so on large collections the scanner will get killed by the OS and restarted. There is no way around that unfortunately. I have devices with 50k+ tracks and they will finish after a restart or 2 Thanks for the quick response! Seeing that the "problem" with the scanner is a known issue I performed a clean install instead of updating from version 2.x and the scanner did eventually finish. Thanks for the help and keep up the great work!

Great work. I wasn't a beta tester. So coming from v2 the changes are huge. Thanks. I have three suggestions: I am using the 4x1 widget. It is quite thin with small buttons. They could be a bit larger. It's like 4x0.5 space used. I configured the playback(current song) view so that I can see the star rating below the song title. In v2 I could click on that rating to change it. Now there is an additional star button. Would be nice to click on the stars directly. Interpret covers: would be nice if actual band covers would be downloaded. It just uses some album of the band as cover.

That is why there is a rating button (or you could set up a gesture) "Interpret covers: would be nice if actual band covers would be downloaded. It just uses some album of the band as cover." It does search for artist artwork through a few sources and will use the album art as a fallback if none is found. 1.bp.blogspot.com/-7H_QubL59Iw/YBOtsLNBXgI/AAAAAAAACE8/0mz7Kasj1nAAsoFv051fpvARCANITHDUwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2340/device-2021-01-29-013911.png All that artwork was auto found and downloaded for me

After the update, when I try to import a json file with custom metadata nothing happens. It doesn't give a failed to import error or anything, but nothing gets added to the list of custom metadata displays like before.

The 4x1 widget is smaller than with GoneMad v2 and buttons are smaller, too. Though it's still useable. In fact the widget was nearly the size of the 4x2 it is for me now: imgur.com/tvdJYRgAlso, the space between the widgets is quite large (also larger than on your screenshot). They have some kind of margin/padding above and below. The same is true for the 4x2 widget. On the other hand, the other 3 widget sizes available for me (2x1, 2x2, 4x4) fit tightly, without extra spacing. imgur.com/a/fm3IOkYbtw, I don't use the 4x4 widget. Though, I wonder why the buttons in the 2x1 widget are larger than in the 2x2 and even 4x4 widget

Thank you for all the hard work on the new version. When using Android's "Split screen" feature, most apps, including GMMP 2, will re-center and re-fit everything within the new smaller size of the app on the screen. I use split screen a lot when I'm driving, so that I can have a GPS one one side, and a Now Playing on the other. In the Now Playing view, GMMP 3 simply chops off half of the screen, when it comes to displayed metadata. No matter whether the metadata is set to align to "center" or "left", there's the same sized gap to the left of it that there was before triggering the split, causing most of the metadata to not fit on the screen. imgur.com/a/hOidGn4

After trying long enough to get it to scale better i just made it a fixed size. Screenshot with scaling: imgur.com/a/JhnNqLO

The descriptions says, it only effects album covers. I have album covers embedded in each file. I have enabled the option to use the embedded album covers (as of embedded in file). In the sub menu for the interpret covers is a button that let's me download interpet covers. I deleted my database, re-scanned it and tried this button with 3.0.1 again. I can confirm, the covers in the "interpret" tab are downloaded. However, the tab "album artists" doesn't show the covers from the interpret tab, instead all interprets have one of their albums as album artist cover. And I've figured out: all bands listed under "album artist" also use this wrong cover in the "interpret tab", too. i.e. the download seems to work. In Other words: artists not listed under album artists use the downloaded artist cover. Artists which are also listed under album artists use a random album cover as artist cover both in the album artist and the artist tab. Changing the album interpret cover manually, does work.
