SongBook 1.1 for iPhone Released

December 22nd, 2008 4

The new features include:

Many updates to the Library browsing, including sorting and filtering. Sorting is alphabetical by default. In albums though the sorting is by track number. You can switch sort modes with the toolbar button.

Adding a track to the playlist now does not switch tabs, this makes adding multiple tracks easier.

Added user hints to help users understand what they can do on each tab.

Automatic source selection on startup has been removed. This was causing problems for some users, especially that wanted to use SongBook to control volume for sources other than their DS.

Some users were setting their iPod/iPhone to never sleep. The iPhone would still turn the network off after 30 seconds of inactivity, which would cause the network events to be ignored. This most often showed as missed track transitions. A fix for this has been implemented.

More work on device discovery. Fixes for older Linn firmware.

Added optional network logging to help with debugging.

Fix for source naming bug. This would cause sources to be incorrectly named.

General reliability improvements and small fixes.

You can download the update either in iTunes or directly on your iPhone or iPod touch.

Great improvements. However, what I miss the most are 1) possibility to rate songs so I can then make selections based on my favorites and 2) shuffle songs after I’ve added them to the playlist, i.e. after I’ve for example added a few albums I’d like to have all the songs play randomly and not one album after the other. Do you have plans to get these two features in coming versions? I really, really hope so — only then will I be able to use my DS the way I want. The application that first get these features implemented will be my clear choice!

Good luck!

Best regards,
Niclas

Hello, i cannot find the SongBook app on the Apple ITunes site. Does this have to do with my location (Belgium), or has SongBook been removed again?

How can I add a complete album to the playlist? I only can add one number at the time.
I use songbook 1.1.1.
Is there a manual so I can read how the software exactly works so I can explain it to my customers as well.
