Good news for "slower" devices owner : one of my colleague was kind enough to lend me his old iPhone 3G, so I'll be able to optimize Modizer for this device. Indeed v1.0 is barely usable on this device, so v1.1 should be a lot better!
BTW, I have also ported libsidplay1 which allow sid playback on 3G!
v1.1 will probably be delayed a bit since I'll have to rework the UI stuff to have something as smooth as possible on 3G/iPod 2G.

Modizer v1.1 : progress update
Here is my current progress update regarding the upcoming v1.1 of Modizer. I'll continue to work on it until the end of the week and then will provide the update to Apple (it might then takes a few days before being available to the appstore).
- [Feature] MDX support (Sharp X68000).
- [Feature] BROWSER : new option to list all files, including subdirectories (currently only from 3rd level of directories to avoid listing too much files, exemple => Browser/Modland/Audiomonster. Might become a setting if people wants to change it).
- [Improv] Improved rating display in browser.
- [Improv] Playlists/Stats kept when upgrading from previous version
- [Improv] GME settings : max song length (useful for nsf, sap, …)
- [Improv] SID settings : optimization level (none, 1, 2).
- [Improv] Search : do not relaunch search on already active & searched categories when activating a new one.
- [Bugfix] UADE/SIDMON 1 crash issue.
- [BugFix] UADE : do not hang when skipping multiple songs.
- [Bugfix] SID playback fixed & optimized.
- [BufFix] Better subsongs handling.
- [BugFix] song end was no more truncated for some formats.
- [BugFix] 2D Spectrum & Oscilloscope background gfx issues.
- [Bugfix] BROWSER : HVSC, nb of entries disappearing when searching.
- [BugFix] BROWSER : MODLAND/Artists browsing optimized.
- [BugFix] BROWSER : MODLAND / Formats/Artists/Files crash issue when searching Formats list.
And to finish, here are some features being studied, I'll probably implement them sooner or later (probably not in v1.1), depending on the work it will require :
- ability to easily "preview" / delete song. Perhaps using a "delete" shortcut from either player view.
- playlists sharing with multiple categories (demoscene, amiga, atari, games, years, ...). I'm currently testing from stuff based on google app engine.
- new visualizers and perhaps some kinds of "mini games" :-)
- compressed file support (zip, gz, rar, lzh). Currently compressed files are supported only when downloading from browser & then the files are uncompressed.
- more to come...

Got an Android device, check DroidSound
Some people asked me if I could port Modizer to Android. Since I don't have a Android device,it won't happen before long :-) . Moreover Android SDK & iPhone SDK are very different (Java/Objective C, not the same UI API, ...) so it would be a lot of work !
And to be honest it would be a bit stupid since there is already a very nice app : DroidSound and it's free :-)

Modizer Bug with Browser
A bug has been identified : when using the "Browser / MODLAND collection" category, if you select the 1st mode, "Formats/Artists/Files" & enter a search string on the Formats list, it will crash.
Please use other modes "Artists/Files" or "Artists/Formats/Files" or the "Search" tab.
It will be fixed in v1.1 which should be available in a few days.

Modizer reviewed by toucharcade
Toucharcade wrote a nice review of modizer with a long video (6:12) of it running on an iPad.

Modizer v1.0 : feedback welcomed
I'm currently working on a first update to Modizer (v1.1), so any feedback on current version is welcomed!
I've already optimized the artists listing (when selecting MODLAND then Artists/Files or Artists/Formats/Files in browser). Since there are more than 15000 entries, it was sometimes a bit slow as I was checking if some files for each artists were already downloaded. Now only the files listings are checked.
MDX/PDX playback is also working quite well (Sharp X68000) and I've fixed some minor bugs in playback (for example, on some formats, the last second was cut at the end of each song, ...)
