MPoD version 1.4 is available from the AppStore. New features and fixes in this release:
Directly browse the mpd structure. This was the most requested feature for MPoD. As result you now have to option to either use the local cache, or get data directly from the server.
Use local cover art that is shared through http. By sharing your music folder on the MPD server over http, MPoD can pick up cover art from the folder of the currently playing track. This is in addition to the Amazon based cover art;
Improved streaming (on-the-go mode) through the use of the RadioKit SDK from Stormy Productions. Stopping and pausing of a stream works better, plus there is visual feedback on when MPoD is connecting/buffering;
Simplified streaming settings;
Show information on current bitrate;
Fix cover art problems for timezones far away from GMT;
