This new version of MiniPlayer jailbreak tweak comes with a couple of highly desired features to the mix, starting with search. Yes, you can now search your entire music library directly from MiniPlayer’s interface. As if that feature wasn’t enough to appease customers, we’ve also been provided with a new scrubbing ability to navigate to a specific portion of the now playing track.
MiniPlayer was already one of my favorite new jailbreak tweaks before hand, but at this clip, it’s destined to make our top jailbreak tweaks list at the end of the year. Check out the details of the 2.2 update, along with an updated video walkthrough, inside.
The new scrubbing feature will appear on your iPhone MiniPlayer’s main view, directly beneath the song information of the currently playing track. The scrubber stays, even when you bring up the tweak’s transport controls with a single tap. If MiniPlayer was ever going to be considered as a serious replacement for interfacing with the stock Music app, then it absolutely needed this feature. I’m happy to say that the guys pulled it off wonderfully.
The next feature that I should talk about is search, this feature is one of the most things I’ve wanted to see in MiniPlayer. I know it is not a big important feature but for many I think it is very useful. I hope I don’t sound overly gushing about this update, but search really is something to behold. It works pretty much flawlessly, and even plays nice with content stored in the cloud via iTunes Match.
The nice thing about the search is that it’s predictive. The search results are displayed in real time and modified as you adjust your query. The search is able to accommodate both song title and album artist. It doesn’t appear that search works for the album name, or any other metadata, but hopefully that will be added in a future update.
