Interesting things to share around software development, music and what else comes to mind

I sent in a problem report a few days ago, and it disappeared, did it get to you ?
Can you make possible save favorite albums on mpad?
It will be very helipful .
Please!
Hello,
Respect! It works fine with my MPD custom made player with proprietary DAC with ESS9012, that is fed with I2S through USB to I2S converter.
I miss total number of songs/albums in collection when connected to MPD.
Looking forward for improvements!

This software corrupts my iTunes library file structure and makes many mistakes with album cover art. I should be able to import it all intact, without the conflict of amazon and discogs vs gracenote database. Major flaw. Also, software does not recognize 192/24 alac files on my NAS. Using BDP-2 player. Have to transfer them to a USB stick first. Not helpful.
MPoD and MPaD are strictly readonly and will never touch your file structure. Also recognition of alac files is done by the player, not by app that controls the player.
You should raise these issues with Bryston instead.
The point about cover art is valid: the automatic retrieval is not perfect. The best way is to include cover art as Folder.jpg in every folder that holds music.
I can’t update from MPad 1.71 to 1.8. It’s “…you have not owned major version of this software”.
Please advise.
This seems to be a problem with the AppStore. See the following thread on the Apple Support Community:

Hi. first thanks for mpad, it’s a great software. i I have an issue with the playlist editing in mpad. I’d like to save a playlist and haveit stored on the mpd server but it does not work. I can create mpd playlist fine when using a client on the serveritself, but not remotely with mpad. do you think this could be an mpad issue ?
Just bought iPad and installed MPad 1.8. There is definitely a connection issue with the Bryston BDP-1, which works flawlessly with Android apps such as MPDroid. I did get it to work eventually but exactly which combination of “no password” “numeric IP”, etc, etc was the key, I have no idea. Also, the app did not automatically detect the Bryston.
More importantly, can some-one please explain why MPad, in common with all such apps it must be said, does not use the meta-data for COMPOSER. This omission makes it virtually useless for classical music. The composer should be displayed on “now playing” screens and should be a possible sort parameter.
I support Keith’s opinions 100%!
Coming – as him – from MPDroid to MPad, it took some fiddling to access my BDP-1, but eventually (not sure for exactly what reason) it started to work beautifully for popular music and jazz. Fast, stable and appealing – what more can one ask for?
BUT: for classical, the omission of “composer” as a searchable/sortable field that Keith mentions seriously undermines MPad’s usefulness. So much so that for the time being I’m forced to keep the old Android pad in service to find my Mozart. Ouch! I really hope that this field can be added in the next release.
I like the APP… I would love it if I could get the cover arts. I am using MPad on my iPad to access my BDP-1.
I had no problems to access the music but no cover art is showing. I used the advanced setting to gain access to the cover arts stored within each album folder:
URL htpp://bryston-bdp-1.local/music
Cover Filename Folder.jpg
Liner Notes Filename blank
Any suggestion is welcome!
I do not knowwhat happened….but this afternoon it is working again…I love your app.
Is there any chance that you could integrate the spotify support of the new mpd in a way that it has a similar look and feel as a SONOS-System ? This would be perfect. Happy to pay more for that.
Best Regards
Frank
Thanks for the new release…one question: How can I eanable the auto cover art feature ? When you cleared the local cache, I can currently only be filled manually by selecting for each cd the cover through the wizard manually….which is really cumbersome…
Auto cover art is still enabled, that part hasn’t changed. There are limitations however to the number of covers that can be retrieved for the Amazon and Discogs services (see the cover art wizard screen for details).
If those restrictions apply, I suggest to try again at a later time.
