FAQ
Q: What's new?
A: Please check the Change Note.
Q: I purchased Verifier app but the ads still show up!
A: Google Play Store auth server sometimes has some delay. (If you used in-app purchase, please ignore the Verifier) Please keep your device connected to Internet, then open Verifier icon. If it does not work, try again hours later. If still not, try to uninstall and re-install Verifier and Meridian Player.
Q: What's the difference about Verifier and PayPal and all other pro version purchases?
A: First of all, you only need to buy ONE OF THEM.
The Verifier app and In-App purchase is managed by Google, and is bound to your Google Account. It won't have a key, and only works on devices with Google Services.
The PayPal key is bound to a device, so you need to email me for a new key when you change your device. Also, a device without IMEI like a WiFi only tablet can't use PayPal key.
The GetJar gold is bound to your GetJar Account, and also does not require a key.

Q: I'm using Samsung Galaxy S3...
A: Samsung Galaxy SIII (or S3) users may encounter album art, audiobooks, and playQ problems if you use old external sdcard.
Please try to copy everything from sdcard to phone's internal memory.
Samsung has some special routine on the external SD card, I'm asking them and waiting for an answer. Not sure if this could be solved, though.
