Hudson Music Digital Bookstore

June 12, 2024

Rebuilt completely from the ground up! Our latest generation book reader is a major leap forward: - Audio Playback: Our app's most significant update is the custom audio playback functionality. Each book includes streamed audio, enhanced with new controls: play, pause, timeline scrub, looping, and speed control (without altering pitch). Playback now seamlessly spans multiple pages, ideal for charts and exercises extending beyond one page. - Purchase Sync: The second major change is automatic sync for in-app purchases on iOS or other platforms with your HudsonMusic.com account. This feature lets you access your purchases on any supported device, including our web-based reader. This addresses the top customer query: how to access mobile purchases on a computer. Now, if you buy directly at HudsonMusic.com, you can instantly access your book on any reader app or web browser. - Speed: The app is now twice as efficient, with the Shop and Catalog screens loading 20% faster and books loading 90% faster. Media is delivered via edge CDN servers globally, ensuring faster and more reliable audio and video streaming. - Search: Every book now features an in-app search. Simply tap the search icon, start typing, and get a comprehensive index list to navigate quickly. - Renamed Screens: We’ve made navigation clearer by renaming "Shop" to "Buy" and "Bookshelf" to "Read." - Shop and Bookshelf Search: Easily search our catalog or your owned books by title, author, style, skill level, or publisher. No more endless scrolling to find what you need. - Navigation: The Shop catalog now only displays books you don’t own, while the Bookshelf shows only your owned books, making navigation cleaner and less confusing. - Table of Contents: Each book now has a consistent app-based table of contents for easy navigation. - Bookmarking: Bookmark pages within the app to quickly access favorite sections, exercises, lessons, and charts. - Improved Zoom: Double-tap to zoom in on a page, or use granular zoom controls for precise adjustments. - Account Info: View and manage your account details directly within the app, including password reset options. - Support: Access common support questions within the app. If you need further assistance, a direct contact option is available.
