Major time warp, folks! Sakya‘s back with a biiiiig bulky update for his ever-popular LightMP3 homebrew application! It’s been almost half a year since the previous update, but now he’s making up for lost time.
For those who need a recap (or an introduction), LightMP3 is a power-saving music player that supports MP3, OOGG Vorbis, ATRAC3, and FLAC. How much battery life does it save? Well, as Sakya’s supposedly tested it:
- With the display set to minimum brightness the battery should last at least 9 hours.
- With the display off the battery should last at least 11 hours.
LightMP3 Version 2.0.0 RC1 changelog:
- Added: You can sort records in the Media Library (press TRIANGLE)
- Added: support for filename with foreign characters (à èìòù…) – Many thanks to cooleyes for the FAT driver

Unfortunately, this release may be the last in a long time once again since Sakya says he’s busy. In fact, he notes that there a lot more stuff he wanted to implement, but he doesn’t have enough time.
There are tons more of info included in the readme so make sure you take a look at it; drop by the forums as well to give a shout out to Sakya!
