New version 0.8.2 with some cool additions. Wave to your device

Check out the new version because the new features are really cool.


New features

• Control foobar now with media buttons (like with a headset or 3rd party apps) (only for PRO version)
• Fully compatible with WaveControl app (available on Play Store)  (only for PRO version)

Solved issues:

• Solved a problem where widget could not be clicked
• Fixed a crash in Managing Playlists with older Android versions

Known issues:

• Double click on headset button to skip to next song doesn't work fine sometimes

The main addition to this new version is the ability to control the app (thus a foobar2000) with any hardware or software capable of sending media actions like Play, Next, Fast Forward, etc.

I've put special attention to Wave Control which is a really cool app that using the device's proximity sensor will do an action like Play/Pause, Previous, Stop, etc.

It's available in the Play Store and it has a free and a paid version.

Free: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.MarksThinkTank.WaveControl

Paid: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.MarksThinkTank.WaveControlPro

The free version is pretty cool but believe me, the paid is (much) BETTER.

Look at this quick demo I've recorded with the foobar2000 controller & Wave Control working together.

New version 0.8.1. A taste of Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich sweetness

With version 0.8.0 tablet users with Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich lost the ability of accessing the menu, thus rendering the app partially useless..

With this new 0.8.1 version users with Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich (both tablets and phones) will enjoy a new Interface sporting the so-loved-by-Google Action Bar and will have the menu back. Also is using the last Holo theme, which is pretty cool in my opinion..

Also, move to SD is enabled finally.

Release notes

New features:

• New interface for Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich devices.
• Move to SD enabled.

Solved issues:

• Users with tablets running Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich could not acces menu.

Here I leave a couple of screenshots of ICS devices.
