GoneMAD Music Player (Trial) vs TIDAL

GoneMAD features a built in tag editor that has mass tag editing support.

There are 2x1, 2x2, 4x1, 4x2, and 4x4 widgets.

Rather than scanning for music automatically (and possibly including ringtones, alarms, etc. in your music library), the user can choose which file folders GoneMad Music Player checks for music and exclude folders with audio files that the user doesn't want in their library.

GoneMAD features support for aac(mp4/m4a/m4b), mp3, ogg, flac, opus, tta, ape, wv, mpc, alac, wav, wma, adts(4.0+), and 3gp(4.0+).

From call handling to headset preferences there are so many options built into GoneMad that there is something for everybody.

GMMP's folder browser can replace filenames with the artist name and the name of the song, shuffle within a folder, repeat within a folder. It also allows you to add the entire contents of a folder to a playlist with only a few taps.
