Response to reviews in the Mac App Store

Thanks for the positive review.

   1) The app does support section index. Just press the alphanumeric key in any screen which displays audio items and it takes you to the section corresponding to the pressed 

        key. 

   2) The app does support search functionality. Just press keyboard shortcut ⌘ F  to open the search screen. Will put up a search button on the screen in the next update. 

   3)  You can go to the browser home screen from any screen which displays audio items by clicking on the blue colored half home button. But your suggestion to include icons for albums,podcasts etc on the bottom of the screen is a good one. Will make sure that an update has that feature.
