Tipster popsky alerted us on PSP homebrew dev sakya's newest release, a new version of LightMP3. Those who like this media application will be glad to know that the app is now on version 1.4.0.

In the unfortunate case that you've been living under a rock, here's a bit of a primer. LightMP3 is a media player that can stretch your battery to up to nine hours with the display on. With the display off, your battery can last up to eleven hours. Pretty nifty if you're running out of juice and there's not power outlet in immediate sight.

There were a number of changes made for this release:

Added: Audioscrobbler log (disabled by default look a the settings file).
The app writes a .scrobbler.log file you can upload to your last.fm account through this page:

Added: Settings (CPU/BUS clock, EQ) are saved in the file settings
Added: you can switch from old or new volume boost method.
Default is new method.
Check the settings file(it's commented).
Added: display of instant bitrate
Added: Playing a single file will actually play the directory (starting from the selected file)
Added: the app is a little lighter, you can lower cpu 2/3 mhz more (if not using EQ or volume boost).
Many mp3 of mine are now playing good with the cpu at 65/67mhz (with 1.3.0 was 70mhz)
Fixed: File without ID3 now display filename in playlist
Fixed: Trying to open a file too big will show an error (and not make the app crash)
Fixed: The app now correctly exits pressing HOME.
Fixed: some bugs in the playlist editor (removing the last song, clearing the playlist)

Also, sakya added that the "display" problem has been fixed. The display and the light can now be turned off by pressing the Start button. Before you go on and try it out, remember to check out the readme file for the installation instructions and other stuff.
