Moode 8 slow boot

[Opera]

Why use AP mode? I've never understood the benefit unless you are moving your moode player from place to place where WiFi might not be available. What am I missing?

Let me explain: I use my raspberry exclusively as a flac file reader from hard disk.
It has no display, no monitor, no keyboard.
The only way to interact with Moode is to use the AP and use my tablet (or smartphone), as a user interface device.
So I need Moode to be configured in AP mode at the first installation to be able to use it.
