iPhone homebrew developer errrick has released an updated version of PwnPlayer, bringing it up to version 0.1 beta 5. In case you haven’t heard of it yet, PwnPlayer is a replacement app for the iPhone or iPod Touch’s stock iPod application.

You can get the latest version of PwnPlayer for free through Cydia. It’s still in beta, so expect a few bugs. The app’s lockscreen features seem to be having the most complaints, but as a player, it sounds pretty usable. Here’s the changelog for beta 5:

• Added M4A playback support (MPEG-4 audio files). No tag reading yet.
• Integration with MewSeek (http://www.mewseek.net)
• Fixed a few memory leaks discovered when navigating playlists / music library / file system.
• Fixed a few memory leaks during iTunesDB reading/parsing.
• Added support for standard EQ presets (No custom graphic EQ… yet? I hope so.)
• Improved loading times. PwnPlayer now loads much faster when running it for the first time.
• Autoplay also loads much faster now.
• Album list will now show the artwork immediately with better quality (same as in MobileMusicPlayer, no more delayed-pixelated artwork!).
• Fixed bug on search screen, that showed a folder icon in one or more song results after doing several searches.
• Better navigation in Featured screen.
• Fixed bug for certain music libraries which experienced crashes everytime they wanted to load coverflow, album, song or artist lists
• Artwork in lock screen is now hidden on pause/stop
• Fixed bug that caused certain songs to finish early. Now all songs will play till the end, however, you might still see them on the screen with a lower duration than they actually have, this needs to be investigated further.

• MewSeek 0.4: P2P client for iPhone, iPod Touch
• iPhone homebrew: dTunes v2.5 now with Torrent support
