Which screen are you seeing this or at what point ? Idle, loading which screen or what ? CPU load was reduced on all of my tests, except when you use a "EMPTY" screen in which case RR will scan the image for PINK color in order to reshape the screen as necessary.. this takes up quite a bit of CPU... if the OFF and EMPTY images are the same this will not happen, thus making it faster to load the screen..

Guino, you absolute legend! I can't test this at the moment but looking forward to integrating my ipod into the carputer.

Many thanks for your hard work

I used mine skin... main menu has two indicators blinking (mastermute and online) and the scrolling label of the track.

For example scrolling label is scattering and the CPU usage label indicates 50-80%

I just updated. My CPU was 2-3% at idle and 8% with iGuidance loaded. Reduced from before

Wow guino your the man thanks for the ipod support can't wait to test it

I also have noticed a less use of CPU. The last version give me a 15-20% playing only Mp3, and 10% in idle. Now it is around 10% Playing Mp3

iPod support working great here. The only thing weird is that the tracks aren't played in order (at least not for the 3 albums I tried).

Thanks Guino!

Thanks Guino!

The track order is going to be as iTunes saved the files. I have to see if I can sort it any other way, but it is not looking good, specially when tracks have missing information.
