The app currently has a 1.35MiB download and a size of about 4MiB after installation. This is a lot on my phone which only has about 50MiB free on the internal storage after installing Android.

It would be nice if you could reduce the size of the application. I would expect an application that "just" connects to a service and displays a few buttons, but otherwise gets all data from that service, to be not larger than 1MiB.

Further it would be great if you could use the sdcard for storage. (I assume you cache the album covers, etc?) This might also help you in reducing the app size.

I try to keep the app quite small, but the icons, layouts etc take some space. If it would be smaller, you would miss all the cool features.

App2SD is no option ether as it just produces more problems and is not useful for current Android devices.

You can try installing an older version from the download section here. Maybe it fits for you. But you might miss some features.

If you see any chance of producing a "light" version of the app with smaller (or no) icons and just the basic buttons, that would be great.
