Upcoming moOde 6.6.0 feature release

[the_bertrum]

The overlays for "help" look great and the ticks to mark the currently selected options are much clearer than the current method. I don't tend to faff with the radios much but those enhancements you propose might make me start

Very positive moves I think.

Just wondering if CD play functionality is on the TODO list

[Tim Curtis]

Yes it is but the Radio feature really needs some love so we are focussing on that ATM.

You could always just rip your cd's into a music library.

@Onionhead

That's on me. I've been distracted by other issues and not paying attention to CD Play. (I'm thinking as I write that I'm made the same excuse before )

I'll get back to it soon after I figure out who to call on the MPD/bluez-alsa issue.

"MPD playing to bluetooth speaker hangs when playlist ends"

Something like that.

No complaints from me, was only asking if it was on the list. Most of my library has been ripped just wanted to do some listen direct from my Denon player. Definitely not a must have just another differentiating feature making moOde the best in class music player. Thanks
