SongBook DS 3.0.3

June 18th, 2010 9

We’ve just submitted an update to SongBook DS to Apple. This version is a mix of fixes and new features. Most importantly we have fixes for crashes with Linn UpnpAV support, Linn CD players and a few obscure crashes that we found through our new crash reporter system. The new crash reporter has been a huge success in revealing bugs, relying on people to extract crash reports and send them in was not really good enough to get a full picture of what was really happening. The crash reporter makes that process almost automatic, which means we see many more reports than we normally would. I know it’s not ideal to pop up a window with all sorts of obscure debug information for users to see, but we had to balance this with the privacy aspects of only sending information to our servers with the users permission. Not all developers take that responsibility seriously, but we think it is important.

We also fixed a few smaller issues with album art display and showing the bitrate and codec information.

There’s a few new features on the iPad version too. In this case a pictures probably the easiest way to show you whats new:

There’s some other small improvements too such as a mini album art view in the Zones view next to the ticker displaying the current track in each room. That’s on the iPhone version too.

As usual we have an indeterminate delay until Apple approves this version, but it should be ready in a few days.

Bug of lost file data after swipe forward or backward is still there, and the time in the progress bar stops and do not synchronize again if i swipe through the playlist.

3.0.3 is now out in the App Store. I get back with feedback :-)

This comment was posted before 3.0.3 was released by Apple, so I think you must be talking about 3.0.2. Fixes for these issues are in 3.0.3 (which is out now).

3.0.4 is being submitted to Apple today too. It has fixes for iPhone 4 compatibility, and we found the problem with Standby that some users were having, so that is fixed too.

Hi!

Lost file data info after whipe is fixed :-o Nice, but now the big alphabetical chars in the album- and artist list has been lost!? When i scroll down, in the background there are no chars to see that i am at D or Y or F and so on.
And the loading- and scrolling time in Album- and Artist view takes very long ;-(

Next “not fixed” problem: If you whipe in the Playlist, the time progressbar still stops an do not synchronize after swipe. So if you swipe often through the playlist, the song is in front of the time progressbar.

Hi again!

Yesterday i downloaded the new/latest version of Songbook DS. In the previous version the problem of lost file-data was fixed, and in the actual version the problem is still here again!!! Why? Is it possible to fix problems without generate old problems again?

thanks.

Greetings
