Upcoming moOde 9.3.0 release - Tim Curtis - 03-21-2025
Here are WIP release notes for upcoming moOde 9.3.0 release.
The skip from 9.2.6 to 9.3.0 is to indicate a major new feature namely MPD 0.24 :-)
There is also a configurable retry for devices that are slow to reach a ready state during moOde startup which can help avoid the auto-switch to HDMI when the configured device can't be found. There is also a new version of Deezer Connect (pleezer) and some nice improvements and fixes for WPA-SAE.

Thanks :-) Also compliments to @bitlab for maintaining the main packages like MPD and Camilla, and the build tooling.

I'm amazed not only by the current progress but also by the fact that Tim has been doing this pretty steadily at least since his post #1 in a new thread, "Moode Audio Player for Raspberry PI", in a DiyAudio.com subforum on this very date in 2015. (03/21 is my sister's birrhday so easy to remember)
Back then, of course, things were simpler and Tim was cranking out a new release every month. By the time I learned about moOde that December, it was already v2.something. The release cycle may have stretched out some since then but the things he's doing are getting more complicated.
That and he somehow finds time to read and respond to user posts here, on Mastadon, and elsewhere. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.
Regards,
Kent

My brother-in-law bought into one of the closed alternatives offered by the hardware manufacturers. He's had exactly no updates in the last two years. No new features, no security enhancements. He can't add to the system without buying new hardware from the same company, with the risk that new hardware has newer software so is no longer compatible with the existing hardware. Why would anyone do that when moOde exists?

A quick scan through the release notes and it looks like for the 9 series which began in May 2024 there have been 2 releases per month :-)

Just want to add my thanks. I've been using Moode since I'm not sure. Somewhere in the 2s, I think.

I'm also a big fan of moode player.
I've tested serveral different players, but moode always does the balance between nice look an feel and and having many features.

And it is constantly being fixed / improved... name a paid product doing (even just a half of) what moOde does.

I started using MoOde (0.7xx?) in May or so of 2015 and haven't stopped since. I moved from a Squeezebox SB3 purchased well before Logitech, so I tend to stick with things I like. Both earlier companies did well with the software, but Logitech never really advanced the hardware, hence my move to RPi and MoOde. I donate every year, and 9.3 sounds like a benchmark for this year's donation. Thanks to Tim, and to the rest of the team!
