I'm not entirely sure what's causing the sluggishness. I never noticed
it myself, but then again, I'm not a VoiceOver user.
What I can tell you guys, is that there's a TON of things going on
audio-wise behind the scenes in the app. Not only is it validating
timing for crossfade, but it's also handling audio normalization, etc,
etc. I'm wondering if VoiceOver is affected by the heavy use of the
audio system.
Here's a test... could someone run this for me? Turn off Normalization
entirely, and let me know if you still have the same issue.
Unfortunately, this is one of those that I'm not sure I'll be able to fix.
That being said, the frequent crashes should be fixed in the next few
days when Apple pushes the latest version to the App Store. I've fixed
the two "Title" sections at the top of the Queue page for the release
after that, and I've also added a few more goodies.
Do be aware that in version 4.0, I'm moving the Stations tab to the
library (where it probably should have been all along), and I'm creating
a "Similar" tab that will provide you with personalized music
suggestions based on the music that is already in your library.
Again, let me know if there's anything I can do for any of you, and
thanks for downloading and being patient as I work through some of the
kinks. I'm doing my best to make sure all of you are happy with your
purchase.

Subject: Re: Muxic is an App Worth Checking Out
I've noticed on my iPhone4 that when Muxic is open, Voiceover is a
little
slower to respond and other things are slower to happen, both in and
out of
the muxic app. Perhaps this is because my 32 GB iPhone is nearly
full of
music and Audible books, but I still find it interesting that Muxic is
slowing things down, but when I close it out of the app switcher, the
processes return to their normal speed.
Anyone else seeing this on an iPhone4 running iOS 5.1.1?

Wayne Merritt
