iPod & MPoD => iPad & MPaD???

From what I’ve seen so far, I believe the newly announced iPad will be a great way to control mpd. It can be used even more intuitively than an iPhone, and allows to include various info all in one place, like cover art, artist info, playlist, buttons.

If you have good ideas on what MPaD should look like, why not share them here?

MPoD v1.4 – unexpected problems

Functionality wise v1.4 of MPoD is ready. This version has 3 major improvements:

  • use local cover art that is shared through http;
  • directly browse the mpd structure;
  • improved streaming (on-the-go mode).

Unfortunately the move I made to SDK 3.0 has made the application unstable, and it crashes a lot all of sudden, looks like its due to memory shortage. I’m thinking about how to handle this, but it at least means that it will take more time before the 1.4 version can be released.

New MPoD version now available

MPoD version 1.3.3 is ready and available through the AppStore as of today. Fixes and features include:

  • support for larger song databases (tested with 30,000+);
  • use of directory names when mp3 tags are missing;
  • bugfixes in the preference screens;
  • new button to trigger db update from the iPhone;
  • view artist info from last.fm for the current song;
  • first stop will stop the music, second stop clears the playlist.

MPoD streaming problem – fix is in the AppStore

For version 1.3.1 of MPoD some test code got into the released version by accident. As a result people are having problems with the ‘On the go’ mode. Version 1.3.2 that restores the original functionality is posted to the AppStore and became available for download by August 2nd.
