A Major ooTunes Radio Update...
Version 3.1 of the ooTunes Radio app for iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad is now available!!!
The free update will show up in the "updates" tab within the blue "App Store" app on your iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad, or Get it now!
The long awaited update to ooTunes Radio has arrived (this update spent 2 months "in review" with Apple!)
Here's a (partial) list of what this update brings:
- larger buttons on the player screen
- rename favorites
- 30 second fwd, bwd seek (when playing a recording)
- recordings resume playing where last left off
- set "markers" in recordings: allows skipping to "tracks" in a recording
- more responsive/faster stop/play
- much better artwork searching (nearly every track now should show art)
- fixed crash reconnecting after network loss
- 33% better battery life for most mp3/aac+ streams
- aac+ in rtsp streams is much faster to buffer/play
- Use iPod tracks for alarm clock
- Greatly improved stream connect/reconnect speed
- Sirius login status is remembered when the app exits and starts again
- Greatly improved support of BBC on demand selections and other podcasts
- much better support for Korean, Russian and many other international streams with "now playing" information
- wmas support
- uses less data for some multi-bitrate and video streams using the mms protocol
- fixed a problem seeking in certain recordings
- 2 finger swipe left/right to skip through current items (ie, favorites, etc.)
- 1 tap to get to favorites (on the player screen, at the bottom)
- improved support for some rtmp/flash streams
- fixed bug where restore from backup prevents saving future recordings
- web browser is completely blocked from showing by parental controls (if safari is disabled)
- a bit more spacing for the browser controls
- go to bookmarks direct from browser
- scroll position is remembered when going back through the browsing lists (finally)
If you have suggestions please send them my way! Lots more still to come....
Thanks for your patience and helpful feedback!
...now to finish up the iOS4 update (with true multitasking, if you have an iPhone 3GS or newer, or a 3rd generation iPod touch!) and the iPad optimized version (and to help maintain my sanity, the Android version :)
