Sid Player Pro goes iOS4
Despite being incredibly busy due to some nightmare project I have been working on for the last couple of months, I have managed to sneak in some time to update Sid Player Pro to catch up with iOS4’s idea of multitasking.
Sid Player Pro now can stream audio in the background, just as the iPod application can. Moreover, it also reacts to headphone remote control events and hooks itself with the lock and multimedia dock screen controls.
The update has been submitted to Apple for review and we expect it to be posted very soon. Once Sid Player Pro appears in the AppStore, Module Player and Pokey Player will also be updated.
Here’s a video that demonstrates the new features in Sid Player Pro for iOS4.

Absolutely. And it’s coming… but it’s going to be HUGE so it will take a bit
Fancy doing some beta testing? Will tell you when it’s ready, but don’t hold your breath yet.

Sure, however we just have started the conceptual phase of the new mega player, so it’s not exactly around the corner. I’d rather say it could as well take until xmas this year for the app to actually appear in the store — i’d estimate a beta test for November at the earliest though.

just upgraded to the pro version for iOS4, great app, but im hugely disappointed that you cant autoplay all the tunes within a sid, after playing 1/X, it skips straight to the next file. it’d be nice to be able to pick your game and listen to all the themes without manually selecting them.
do you think this is a feature that could be added in a future update?

This is indeed a complicated feature, since a) it is impossible to detect when a SID song ends and b) not all subsongs have song length identifications in the song length database. We have to do more research on that, but if there’s a way, we’ll do it.
