MPoD v1.3 video preview

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.

MPoD v1.3 screenshots

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).

MPoD Multiple Connections

MPoD Icecast Support

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

Update – No longer looking for MPoD testers

Update May 1, 2009: I’ve had sufficient response by now, and to keep things manageable for me I will not accept additional testers at point.

Icon.pngCoding for version 1.3 of MPoD has finished and I’ve done significant testing so far. Because this version has lots of internal changes, I would like to have additional testing done before releasing it into the AppStore. If you’re interested in assisting with the testing of this new version of MPoD, then you can drop me a message at info at katoemba dot net, or by replying to this post.

MPoD: preview of the next version

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.
