Music lovers, gather around. PSP homebrew developer sakya has just upgraded LightMP3 to version 1.5.0.

LightMP3 is a battery friendly music player for the PlayStation Portable. It's pretty nifty when you're far away from a power outlet (outdoors, traveling, etc.) since it saves enough power to go on Energizer Bunny-like for up to eleven hours. This new release sports a few changes and a couple of bug fixes:

Added: HP and RM on first line if headphones and/or remote controller are plugged.
Added: the program checks the display brightness at startup and asks if you want to lower it
Added: support to 22khz (plays fine with CPU at 40mhz), 24khz (plays fine with CPU at 40mhz) and 48khz mp3.
Note that to play 48khz mp3s the cpu must be raised to 80/85 mhz
Added: Fastforward (no rewind, sorry). Press right and left to raise and lower playing speed.
Added: volume bar
Fixed: if you delete .scrobbler.log with LightMP3 running (activating USB), the file is recreated.
Fixed: if the sample rate isn't supported an error message is shown

Check out the readme for more info about the app. Afterwhich, enjoy your music!
