Decent But No MP3 Support Or "Add All Songs To Playlist" Option

This is a decent but imperfect app.

I cant believe its so hard to play my music the way I want to on my iPod. Ive bought Golden Ear (which has its share of other problems, see my review there) and this and neither is optimal.

This is a decent Flac player, and does what it says, but who wouldve thought it would -ONLY- play flac files? You know youd just assume it could at least handle MP3 as well. This is incredibly lazy on the developers part. I really cant stress how enough how lazy that is, yes I want to play my Flacs which is what most of my collection is but Im bound to have some extra MP3s as well, not being able to handle MP3s is ridiculously lazy twofold:

1. the basic ipod system software can play it
2. it is the most common damn format (if not the greatest) for music right now, period, by a long shot

I have most of my music at home stored on my computer as flac files, with the rest as MP3s until I get around to replacing them (which wont be possible for all). I bought this app to -avoid- having to waste my time converting all my music before I load up my iPod playlist each day, unfortunately, Flac Player doesnt help me here, its just flipped the problem from needing to go Flac --> Mp3 to Mp3 --> Flac.

Another relatively annoying issue, as far as I can tell, and Im 90% certain, there is no simple "add all songs in the Flac player folder to playlist" option which is a major pain. I try to load up a new playlist on my iPod to bring it into the warehouse at work to play everday, so I wipe all the songs in the folder of Flac player, throw the new collection of songs onto it, and Id like to just click "play all" or "add all to playlist" and go, quick, simple, efficient. Unfortunately yet another developer (Apple, Golden Ear, Flac Player now) just cant manage to competently make a basic featured useful music player which manages to make my music listening experience on the iPod still a rather annoying experience.

Guess Ill have to check out even more damn Flac players now like AcePlayer, OPlayer, etc. and waste even more of my money hoping that someone on the app store can competently make a music player for this highly capable hardware device hampered by wretched software.

Id change my review score to a 5 out of 5 and sing this apps praises if both of the above stunningly absent features are added in an update.
