For those of you using a Moon Mind streamer, some news from Simaudio - a new version of the Moon Mind app is now available !
http://www.simaudio.com/en/pr/69-new-min...tml?page=1
iTunes Link: https://itunes.apple.com/app/moon-mind/id579890921?mt=8
A familiar GUI but in a nice dark colour, They seem to have taken a cue from Linn's Kazoo. Seems more responsive than the previous version, now offers track file format info & sample rate, they finally added a "play now" button instead of having to select tracks and queue beforehand. Firmware updates are also possible via the app as well.
Downsides (and a biggie for me), when selecting the albums tab, I cannot get the albums to appear by artist. It sorts by album title rather than album artist.
I am running both the previous and new version of the app and the iPad to compare how the albums appear in the album tabs and the previous version looks right.
The album artist thing is kind of a deal breaker if it's not fixed.
Also noticed that the app is only available in landscape mode on an iPad. On the iPhone, the large albums covers are kind of cool the way they seemed tiled on the screen.
Hopefully these issues will be addressed but it's a step in the right direction.
If anyone else is using a Moon Mind and downloads this new app, please share your findings and impressions.
