Excellent ! Love the new Playback tab, a lot easier to switch between streams.
Everything seems a tad snappier too.
Took me (quite !) a while to find the 'save playlist' option (Top left arrow on the Playback tab..toggle Hide/show toolbar and the option is at the bottom of the page)
May I suggest that the default be "show" rather than "hide"
Once you know it is there it is easy to hide for a clean interface but if you don't know where it is to start then it can be hard to discover.

A little exploration and discovery is not that bad

It is mighty fun !
I have learnt not to post the "I can't find....xyz" and to click everything and anything until all options are exhausted.
Hi,
Starting to work on release 1.9 for end of May
Some items on the to-do list include the addition of some great new listener-supported, commercial-free radio stations, UPnP enhancements, streamlined theme changer internals, UI improvements and possibly some enhancements to MPD and SoX.

and a quick 'save track info' from radio streams ? ;-)
for when you are working flat-out like a lizard drinking water and you hear something on a radio stream that you want to follow up...so hitting a button on the attached keyboard saves the track info to a file...;-)
Can do something now by grabbing phone activating wifi, connecting with chrome and taking a screenshot.....pant-puff-pant... but some one button keyboard hit would be fantastic..!
In fact what about a keyboard-control file using xbindkeys as an option for control ???
No pressure..
Cheers Bob

Hi,
I have never actually connected a keyboard to a Raspberry Pi.
But I do have a "Playback history" feature on the to-do-at-some-point list. It would log the metadata for each song that has been played plus a google search link for the song.
When the history list is displayed, clicking on the song would bring up a Google search results page, same as what appears currently when clicking on the cover art. There would also need to be an Enable/disable switch, Clear history and History viewer
This would allow you to browse through the playback history at your leisure
How about something like that?
Regards,
Tim

Hello TC,
Since using the RPi1 with the Wolfson Audio with the patch provided by Georg Mill (https://blog.georgmill.de/2015/02/18/update-for-wolfson-audio-card-on-raspberry-pi/) card to play music in Moode with great success, I have obtained a RPi2 with Cirrus Logic Card, however I am unable to obtain a similar, fine, clear and concise patch to use Moode.
It would be great if you could direct bloggers to such a similar patch to use Moode with the RPi2 and CL card.
Thank you.

Hi,
Nice to hear that u were able to successfully apply Georg's excellent kernel hack that enables Wolfson card.
R u using latest Moode 1.8 ?
Regarding Pi 2B and CL card, it appears that a kernel hack is not available. The page below has a link to a 3.18.9 test kernel containing the overlay for the CL card. https://blog.georgmill.de/2015/04/06/update-rt-kernel-for-cirrus-logicwolfson-audio-card/
I downloaded it and the README.txt states:
"THIS WON't WORK FOR Raspbery Pi 2! I do not own such a device. If you want that, feel free to send me a RPI2 and you'll get the precompiled kernel for it ;-)"
If someone sends him a Pi2B and he makes a kernel, then I can probably integrate it directly into Moode System config as a swappable kernel. The download seems to have the pieces that I need to do this
According to this article, the goal is to have the drivers integrated into the next official 3.18.x kernel. When will that kernel be released...hopefully soon!

Yes ! sounds most sensible.
Including a time stamp ? so that, as long as one noted the time the track to follow up was heard,the unknown track could be found..
Timestamp yes. The format of history entries would probably be like below. If the list gets long a search feature might be needed.

Hey Tim, after a bunch of days spent comparing Rune, Volumio, Musicbox, and with a fresh month's download allowance burning a hole in my pocket, I've bitten the bullet and am downloading as we speak
A fresh new set of HiFiBerry DAC+ and AMP+ are winging their way from Switzerland and should meet my Raspberry Pi 2's somewhere over the south china sea...
Looking forward to knocking it all in shape.
Thanks for your efforts. Much appreciated.
Got it in and running - but can't find any way to add new radio stations.
Any chance of integrating something like Tune-in?
EDIT: found out where to add stations - but can't add anything from the BBC..
Hi,
Let me know which BBC stations from the list below that you would like and I'll add them w/logo's for release 1.9
In the meantime, I'll fish out the direct streaming url's and post the list back so u can add the stations yourself and start listening. This will take a bit of time to complete.The url's will be for the fallback 128 mbps MP3 format streams and not the new HLS format streams. The fallback MP3 streams "should be good" for a few years until BBC, at their discretion, decides to decommission them and only provide HLS format streams.
Note: MPD versions beginning with 0.19.2 in theory support HLS format (m3u8 file suffix). Moode uses 0.19.1 so at some point I'll make a new version and among other things, test HLS playback

BBC 1, 2, 4 & 6 Music, please
You're a star!
Even without a DAC, it was noticeably louder and better-sounding than Volumio
And a much better interface than MusicBox.
I am really looking forward to the arrival of new Pi 2's and Hifiberry bits to really give it a proper test.
My son in the UK is just getting into quality hifi and I have recommended the same setup to him.
Now, what to do with that old Apple Airport? Print server, prolly.

You, Mr Curtis, are a total b'tard.
I've done sod all except play around with Moode for days now. The wife says I smell and the cats give me dirty looks while dragging their food bowls around behind them... I think they are dropping hints but I can't hear their whining, so I'm not sure. Still, I've lost nearly a stone- although my hair has gone a funny colour and I think I am stuck to the couch.
But... there be bugs - where do I let you know of them?
