However, I miss the capability of browsing the library by any tag other than Artist or Album. Specifically, I'd very much like to be able to browse by composer, very useful for classical music, where you want to establish a distinction between performer and composer. Any chance? :) Lyrics could be another great addition, but I realize that, unlike my previous suggestion, it implies writing probably a lot of code. :-S Anyhow, great work! :D Thank you very much for this app, it’s wonderful!

I received a new version of that library, and tests show that using it brings the CPU utilization back to a normal utilization of 10% on a 3G. I'll release a bugfix version for this.

Though on my iPhone 3GS battery autonomy is suffering badly. Additionnaly, my phone heats hands quicky, interesting side effect this winter ^^ On my device, top reports 83-89%+ Cpu utilisation for MPoD; 80% user, 20% system and 0% idle. mediaserverd itself use between 6% and 3%, (standard for hardware mp3 decoding). Same thing append when using graphic interface or when device is locked. Don't hesitate to contact me for more details if needed, i wish you a good bug-hunting session ;) Hello ! :)

You need to open a telnet session to your Popcorn Type in the following Linux command: ln -s /share/Music /share/Apps/AppInit/websites/Music This creates a symbolic link called Music in the /share/Apps/AppInit/websites directory which points to /share/Music which is your mpd music directory.
