Version 0.9.0 (04/12/2010)

Buffer Ahead! (thanks for waiting)
- Configurable from 1 to 5 songs
- This is true buffer ahead, using system RAM. Other solutions download to flash, which is bad for your device.
- Intelligent buffer selection, attempts to provide seamless playback with no downloading break between tracks.
- Many work arounds for bugs in webOS, don't think many people have attempted to use webOS in this way.
- Auto Detection of changes in network coverage and buffer stalls
- Auto Detection of buffers lost due to device sleep
- I've done my best to make this stable without transcoding, but it really shines when you enable it with transcoding.
- Settings in the Accounts Settings Page
- Updated the error reporting to follow the new audio api
Artists and Albums List Caching
- Saves a local copy of your entire albums and artists lists, load times are ridiculous!
- Auto detects when a change to your server occurs and resaves the lists. Note: if you have auto scanning enabled on your server this will cause the list to redownload after every scan.
- Only applies to full Albums and Artist lists, everything else still goes against the server.
- Updated account editior to reflect how many saved items you have
New Icon and Splash Screen
- Lets face it, the old icon is kinda ugly. Thankfully forum contributor Globex has stepped up and volunteered his services and designed a new one along with anew splash screen!
  
  It still pays homage to the people at the Ampache project, aka it features their squirrel logo but I hope you agree with me, it looks a lot better on the phone.
  
  So a big thanks to Globex Designs, Inc. for the new icon.

Lowered the search character limit to 2.

Go straight to songs view from artists if there is only one album
