You thought that previous sappy post was the only thing happening after turning 1 year old??

Foobar2000 controller PRO will be 24H 50% OFF during January 9th (UTC+1).

This is a lifetime opportunity is a one-time offer (well.. I may be exaggerating..).

Spread the word!

Edit: I'm sorry guys but seems that Android Market has a minium price for app policy... :(


I put the lowest price I could according to each currency! Still a good offer, isn't it? :)

Foobar2000 controller turns 1!

365 days ago I released the first version (v0.1) of foobar2000 controller for Android.

Not even in my best dreams I could have imagined that one year later I would be where I am today.

Around 20,000 users have downloaded the app, more than 600 of them have even paid for it.

It is available in 12 languages (English, Catalan, German, Chinese, Dutch, Polish, Slovenian, Korean, French, Spanish, Hungarian, Russian) and 1 is being translated (Croatian).

Also this blog is way way more visited than I would expect. It receives more than 300 users a day and all numbers rise monthly.

For all of this and (I hope!) for all the releases coming I wanted to thank each and every one of you who have followed me on this blog, on twitter or facebook and have downloaded or bought the app.

Also big thanks to oblikoamorale for developing this great component HTTP_Control which allows all of us control our music libraries remotely.

Version 0.7.1 released. 1,341,775,041 people are happier now

I've just released another version. Please see the release notes below.

Release notes

New features:

• Added Chinese language (thanks Quan Guo)
• Added Slovenian language (thanks slimtom)

Solved issues:

• Back button still didn't work fine in landscape mode for some devices.

BTW, in a couple of days the app will be 1 year old! Just saying... ;P

(Almost) New Year. New version. 0.7.0 is ready to be downloaded

It's been too long since I released the last version but here's a new one!

I hope you like the new version and please keep the comments and feedback coming!

Release notes

New features:

• Revamped interface.
• Album name in main layout.
• Volume bar in main layout.
• Stop button in main layout.
• Next random song in main layout.
• Refresh rate configurable in settings.
• Catalan language added (thanks Enric Martí)
• Russian language added (thanks Денис Пузанков)

Solved issues:

• Album art didn\'t appear in some devices (solved also for Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.0 ICS).
• Some really huge Album arts could make the app crash or make no Album art displayed at all.
• Some other bugfixes.

Known issues:

• Album art glossy effect is disabled. It will be improved and enabled for future versions.
• Volume bar is a bit buggy sometimes.

Important note for Android 1.5 users:

I'm sorry guys but Android 1.5 (Cupcake) is no longer supported. You can still use the current version you have but 0.7 is completely incompatible. If the update appears in Market, please do not update.

Happy new year to everyone!

Stay tuned. Something's coming...

I can't say pretty much more but stay tuned because something is coming in the following days...

I can only say that all those who complain about not having the volume accessible, or stop button (or even next random song!) will be happy with what's coming.. :D

All those iOS-haters don't worry..

Catalan and Russian lovers/speakers will rejoice too.

New version 0.6.4b. Cool characters in server's name are now possible

This small release fixes only a problem with special characters such as apostrophe, slash, quotes, etc. 

Now it's possible to use them freely. 

The behaviour with previous versions is unpredictable, so I don't recommend that you try it before updating...

Release notes

Solved issues:

• There were problems with some special characters in server's name (apostrophe, slashes, quotes, etc.)

BTW, thanks to someone who might be called Mike and wanted to name his server "mike's desktop" :D
