Makes No Sense At All

To wetten people’s appetite a little more, here’s a video of the new 1.3 release of MPoD. It’s been sent to the AppStore and I hope it will appear for download soon. The sound is very crappy because it’s recorded from my living room speakers into the microphone of my laptop.

Below are a couple of screenshots of the new v1.3 of MPoD: cover view, improved list view, support for multiple connections and support for icecast (to listen to your mpd stream directly on your iPhone).

Testing is well underway and I expect that this version can be submitted to the AppStore in the next couple of weeks.

The next version of iPhone is coming along well, bringing some new features I’m sure you like:

• Improved controls for changing the volume, moving through songs
• Seek in a song
• Amazon based cover art
• Configure multiple connections.

I hope I can finish everything in the next 3 weeks and bring it to the AppStore.

Oh, and one more thing… you can now enjoy your music directly on your iPhone whereever you are. A connection can be configured to run in traditional remote mode, or in on-the-go mode where the iPhone picks up the MPD stream (you need to add an icecast server to your setup, and run mpd 0.14 because the iPhone only supports mp3 format streaming, nog ogg). Tests under 3G and WiFi have been working very well, only downside is that it’s draining the battery rapidly.

Version 1.2.1 of MPoD is available in the AppStore. This version improves a connectivity issue when MPoD is running and the iPhone goes to sleep, and it fixes a crash that occurred frequently when clicking a song in the Now Playing list.
There is no new functionality in this version.
