Hit Music Player App Ecoute Updated With Queue Manager, 'Add Up Next' Option And More
January 3, 2014
The popular music player app Ecoute has just received another notable update, three weeks after its big 2.0 update.
Ecoute 2.0 introduced a new design based on the visual style of iOS 7. Now, the latest update to Ecoute, which brings the app to version 2.1, improves that design with another iOS 7-inspired feature: blurred backgrounds. Specifically, Ecoute 2.1 displays the player view with a background based on a blurred and slightly zoomed-in version of the artwork of the track that's currently playing.
More notably, though, Ecoute 2.1 sees the introduction of a queue manager. Accessible by tapping the clock icon in the Now Playing view, the queue manager lets you reorganize queued songs and easily add more songs to the queue.
And speaking of adding more queued songs, Ecoute 2.1 also introduces a new Add Up Next option to the track contextual menu. As opposed to the Play Next option, which lets you play the selected song immediately after the currently playing track, Add Up Next lets you add a song to the bottom of the queue.
The new version of Ecoute also includes the following fixes:
Ecoute 2.1 is available now in the App Store as a free update or as a new $2.99 download. It's optimized for iPhone and iPod touch running iOS 6.0 or later.
