MPoD version 1.2 available in the AppStore
For a great start of 2009, version 1.2 of MPoD is available in the AppStore. The main change in this version is on the inside, where a local database is implemented that caches the information from your MPD server. This results in a major improvement of the startup time, which for my 10K song library goes from 18 seconds down to about 3-4 seconds. Furthermore the main screen should be more responsive now.
In addition to this some smaller functional changes have been included as well:
- Shaking your device while you’re in the now playing screen will activate one of the random modes (random album, or a number of random songs)
- The active playlist includes the artist for each song in case the playlist contains songs by different artists
- On the artist, album and song tabs you can immediately toggle between ‘add mode’ and ‘replace mode’. The ‘add mode’ will add the selected item to the active playlist, whereas the ‘replace mode’ will replace the active playlist contents with the selected item.
