[Tim Curtis]

Hi,

moOde 4.2 is available for download at http://moodeaudio.org :-)

This release includes the new Adaptive UI version 2, CoverView full screen UI, Bluetooth stack with Pi-to-Pi streaming, Advanced search for Browse panel, Random album selector for Library, LMS-Squeezelite / MPD integration, new version of Raspbian Lite OS and many other nice features and improvements.

   

NOTE: moOde 4.2 is based on the new 2018-06-27 release of Raspbian Lite Linux to provide the most stable and robust OS platform for moOde and therefore a FULL BUILD is required.

Refer to the feature summary and release notes below for details. Additional information can be viewed in the Moode Git repos https://github.com/moode-player

Yo, big thanks for the hard work, dedication and creative spirit from the moOde Dev-Test Team and all the users that contributed feature ideas and helped find and fix many, many bugs!

Take a moment to consider showing your appreciation for the effort by making a financial contribution to help ensure the moOde project is able to continue to make great audio software for the wonderful Raspberry Pi audio community :-)
