Thanks for this nice update. One thing i've noticed which is less nice: if for instance you have lyrics downloaded that you can read, if you lose internet connection, you lose the lyrics you had...
Thanks again, a must-have software

Thank you for the continued development of this application.

No features I would like to see made it into this version but I like the reduced power consuumption very much. In rare occasions i feel the urge to grab some music and venture into the night. Now the music lasts longer

Is there a way to actually save the lyrics into a file our at least somewhere else so you wouldn't need a constant internet connection? I think I saw that when I was using AIMP, there was an option to insert and save lyrics. When you lose internet connection the lyrics disappear as well, that's not really cool. More pre-installed equalizer profiles would be great as well.

Keep up the good work.

@eviljazz,

Is there a way to get QuasarMX to display id tags/artist/song title/album title/ album cover photo data over bluetooth? For instance if I sync my N9 over bluetooth to my car stereo and use it for playing music, then that info/album cover art will show up on the radio itself. Thank you.

Came here to post the exact same thing. Supposedly the stereo supports it for Android and I assume since it's a BT specification, the N9 could do it too.

The current version of the BlueZ Bluetooth stack used on the N9 does not implement the specification that is required for this kind of functionality, namely AVRCP 1.3. The version installed on the N9 is 4.91. AVRCP 1.3 is implemented since 4.97 AFAIK.

There are two possible solutions:
1. Updating BlueZ via a CSSU
2. Investigating if sending raw data packets to the controller via BlueZ's pass-through mode is possible and feasible.

Debugging Bluetooth can be time-consuming and really aggravating. I had a similar problem on Symbian trying to implement this functionality using the Symbian Bluetooth API and I already sunk 2 days of work and debugging into it to absolutely no avail, which is kind of depressing.

I will see if I can spend another round of free time on one of the two options here. This will probably happen after the next bugfix and feature release.

Currently not possible, but I am working on improving the UI of the Sound tab and custom presets is on my list of things to implement.

Lyrics are being cached in a SQLite database, however it seems the current version does not probably keep the lyrics available when the internet connection is lost. I have to fix that.
The whole lyrics add-on will be replaced at one point in the future to avoid the whole legal situation (see Apollo Music Player on Android for reference).

Much appreciated, there's a donation coming your way for your future efforts. Let me/us know what comes of this. Thank you
