MoodShuffle is now available for the iPhone&trade and iPod touch®

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

MoodShuffle is ready, just waiting on Apple...

Monday, July 27th, 2009

MoodShuffle was submitted for launch in the iTunes App Store on June 11th. 45 Days later, and we're still awaiting their approval. There is no reason to think of why they wouldn't approve it, but there hasn't been any useful feedback as to why it is taking so long. All we can ask of our loyal MoodShuffle customers is to wait patiently. Hopefully soon you will be able to take MoodShuffle with you in your pocket. As soon as it launches we'll send an e-mail to registered users, and post a news update here.

MoodShuffle beta for iPhone and iPod Touch

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

With the recent release of iPhone OS 3.0, we are now able to distribute the launch candidate of MoodShuffle for the iPhone and iPod Touch to our beta testers. We don't expect any issues, and hope to make MoodShuffle available on the App Store shortly.

MoodShuffle is almost ready to go mobile

Saturday, May 16th, 2009

MoodShuffle for the iPhone and iPod Touch is almost ready. Development over the last month has proceeded quickly, and we are just about ready to release this version in the iTunes App Store. We'll post a formal news announcement when it goes live, as well as send an e-mail notification to all registered users that specified they want them.

There are just a few more tweaks that need to be made before we launch. One issue that we are working on directly with Apple is preventing us from specifying an actual release date, so check back often.

Disclaimer: MoodShuffle displays album art if it is available on your device. However in the preview image on the right, we made up the band, song and album info so we wouldn't violate any licensing agreements.

MoodShuffle on the iPhone and iPod Touch

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

Development is now underway to bring MoodShuffle to portable devices, where it has always belonged. We are not allowed to give any detailed information at this point due to a license agreement with Apple, but we can say that we are fairly confident you will be able to enjoy MoodShuffle wherever you may be in a few months. At the gym, on a plane, out on a walk, MoodShuffle will be there for you. Stay tuned. For those that registered and requested updates, you will receive an email notification as soon as we launch.

iTunes 7.7.1 works with MoodShuffle

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Apple's point release of iTunes (7.7.1) works fine with MoodShuffle. If you were holding off updating iTunes based on our earlier warning, go ahead and upgrade if you want. Apple seems to have fixed whatever they changed in the 7.7 release.

iTunes 7.7 changes break MoodShuffle

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

If you are an avid MoodShuffle user, and have not updated to the latest version of iTunes (version 7.7), you should hold off. Apple made changes to the data-structures for media storage in the latest iTunes version effectively breaking MoodShuffle. We are working to make changes, and will release a new version of MoodShuffle as soon as possible. It should be within the next week or two.

First we need to identify all the changes that affect MoodShuffle. Then update the code, and finally do a complete regression test. Look for the Mac OS-X version first, quickly followed by a Windows version.

MoodShuffle coming to the iPhone and iPod Touch

Friday, April 4th, 2008

Official development is underway to get MoodShuffle up and running on both iPhone and iPod Touch devices. The development kit from Apple is still in a beta stage, so it might be a few months before we can distribute an official release. We'll post regular updates as to our progress. At this point we hope to have a summer release so you can take MoodShuffle on vacation with you.

Leopard Compatibility and Release Updates

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

While it appears as though MoodShuffle works fine on Mac OS-X Leopard, we wanted to make sure it would still compile correctly under the updated OS. It took us awhile to reconfigure the build machine's compiler, and there are definitely some differences that go on behind the scenes. We have not bothered to release a new build just yet since the old one still works, and the new one has yet to be certified as ready to go.

Due to items beyond our control, and items within our control, the build schedule is completely incorrect. Features have been shuffled around between builds, and the launch dates have obviously slipped. A new schedule that we will actually adhere to will be posted in the next week or so. We'll keep the launch-names the same, but correct the feature lists for each one.

Interim Windows Release

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

We discovered that some folks don't have a common Microsoft DLL installed, so we have made a new build of the Windows version of MoodShuffle available for download. There is no new functionality in this build, but if you had any problems running the Windows version, give this new build a try, so you can start enjoying what MoodShuffle has to offer.

Acadia and Badlands releases combined

Sunday, October 7th, 2007

We were aware of a bug that prevents iTunes from updating the playcount and last-played-date after a song has finished playing. This exists because iTunes doesn't update that information until it determines the current song has ended, and attempts to play the next song. MoodShuffle attempts to time that perfectly so the next song in your library doesn't start playing, when it is going to play a completely different song. This issue was going to automatically be fixed in the Badlands release, but since some of you reported it as a bug we decided to fix it sooner.

As a result, we are combining the Acadia and Badlands releases in order to get a better product out quicker. However, we will likely drop the user-preferences from the Acadia release. On further examination, we found they aren't really necessary. We want the software to just work correctly, and as expected, out of the box without having to configure anything.

The release dates will hopefully not slip. The combined release is expected to come out in October.

MoodShuffle install-base is going worldwide

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

We were excited when we had MoodShuffle users from Massachusetts to Hawaii, but we are now ecstatic that we have users from Europe, Asia and Australia as well. MoodShuffle is on its way to becoming a global phenomenon. Be sure to catch the wave.

Beta update schedule released

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

The schedule for MoodShuffle beta updates is finally here. For the remainder of the beta, the Windows and Mac versions will be released separately. When a version clears testing, it will be made available for download. The goal is to have at least one release per month per platform, that would include bug-fixes and the feature updates listed:

MoodShuffle beta for Windows XP launches

Monday, May 21st, 2007

MoodShuffle for Windows XP almost ready

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

The Windows version of MoodShuffle has moved from QA to an alpha build, and is currently being tested by our team of testers. Barring any major bugs being found, the MoodShuffle 1.0 beta for Windows XP will be available for download in May.

Right now, we are only targeting Windows XP, but the software may well work in Windows Vista too. Obviously support for Windows Vista will quickly follow if MoodShuffle doesn't work as-is. We have high hopes that it will work without any changes though.

First release-build for alpha testing

Monday, November 13th, 2006

MoodShuffle had been in development testing for several weeks. Today the first "release" build was made in order to distribute it to some trusted testers for some informal quality assurance. Interestingly enough this was also the first Universal Binary build, because we had to accommodate both Intel and Power-PC based Macs.

Official MoodShuffle logo created

Sunday, November 5th, 2006

After a fair amount of brain-storming, opinion gathering, and an executive decision, the MoodShuffle logo was born. The logo is supposed to be a musical note with a little attitude, hence the laid back stance and the sunglasses. While it might have been funny to show some of the ideas that didn't quite cut it, we'd rather just feature the chosen one. Besides if someone else comes up with one of our rejects, we get to laugh at them silently.
