About Yardbirds Player
Yardbirds Player plays internet radio streams (*1) and also streams music files (*2) including hi-res (*3) in the cloud(WebDAV/Box(*4)).
You can utilize multiple accounts of Box and so on!
It provides a universal Playlist feature (Shortcut-List) (*5). Each Shortcut-List handles music files that span multiple WebDAV servers.
There's almost no limits with its number of servers, whole capacity of storage, and the number of tracks. It differs from major music streaming services. You can obtain much better cloud music streaming environment by using of home-server or NAS (*6).
It provides a better look-and-feel, mimicking audio devices. It has 100 radio stations preset as samples. It supports various playlist formats. You can easily add more preset radio stations with built-in tuner/iTunes file sharing/Open In.... Basically, it preserves preemptive playback mode if the radio-station/track list is displayed. The view will not be changed arbitrarily during playback sequence.

*Hierarchical folder playback
For now, you don't have to create a ShortcutList(aka PlayList) for listening to all tunes beneath current folder.
*Hierarchical folder adding
All tunes beneath folders can be added to ShortcutList queue. This traversal allows you to create a ShortcutList much easier than before.
Both functions require iOS7.0 or later.
*lighttpd support
Adaptation to a Wi-Fi storage adapter that is using lighttpd as its WebDAV server including reconfiguration of buffer size.
This adaptation adds the capability of playing back hi-res tracks of even less powerful WebDAV servers. It unexceptionally improves the stability of hi-res playback.

Minor bug fixes
2.0.6
Mar 13, 2014
I've fixed two serious bugs below.
*In a congested condition, sometimes multiple music players work at the same time.
*Shortcut-list is terrible.
I deeply apologize that I had provided a app with a badly fabricated Shortcut-list with the last update. In addition to those fixes, I made a effort to improve it. Now it can access a WebDAV site without going through the top screen with this update.
Because it would be very handy, please try to press a list item of lower pane of Shortcut-list screen for a while to show the parent folder of the music. This action is almost the same as an usual method of accessing WebDAV sites, you can use the result of this as a material for subsequent actions(New/Add) against the Shortcut-list.
