First, thanks for such a great piece of software! I have tried many, many different media players and GMMP is absolutely *by far* the best out there. Keeping that in mind, I hope you don't interpret the following requests too critically. Just some thoughts I have, in no particular order:
1. In the same way that I can disable views, I'd like to be able to be able to remove the "Search" button from the Now Playing screen.
2. A normalizer would be nice so that volume is consistent across tracks that carry different volume levels.
3. In Playlist --> Edit Mode, it would be nice also to have a "remove" icon next to the ones that allow me to change track order so that I can quickly remove multiple tracks --- or --- add an option to remove all tracks by an artist, eg., by long-pressing a track in edit mode.
4. Offer behavior controls for bluetooth or make the behavior follow the headphone behaviors. GMMP continues to play when a bluetooth device is turned off (like my car stereo). I wish it would pause itself instead.
5. Somehow my car's display gets textual information from the device when operating over bluetooth (eg. with I-heart-radio). Can GMMP send track title and artist this way?
6. Would be nice to decouple auto-play and auto-pause. I would like the track to pause when headphones are removed, but I'd rather it not auto-play when plugged back in.
7. The behavior of "Show When Paused" seems inconsistent to me. I would expect that any way I exit the application *other than* Menu --> Exit would leave the icon in the notification bar. This means that if, while paused, I press the hardware 'back' key enough times to exit the app, the icon would still remain in the notification area.
8. In addition to the "Show Seek Buttons" option, I would like an option that shows the seek buttons *in addition to* the other five buttons -- or maybe an option like the views that would allow me to choose exactly which buttons I want to see in that button bar.
9. An option to control the behavior of the 'previous song (|<<)' button would be nice. It seems more traditional for a single press to take me to the beginning of the current song, and a double press to take me to the previous song. Maybe that could be a user-configurable option.
10. Finally, the ultimate pie-in-the-sky feature would be a client-server infrastructure like Audiogalaxy that would allow me to get rid of AG and its horrible interface and operate entirely within GoneMAD. I'm guessing that's well out of scope at the moment.
I should again like to assure you that GMMP is by far my favorite media player and I have been very pleased with each of your releases. Thanks for all you do, and keep up the great work!
