This is my first impression of the Squidgy remote SW for ipod Touch. My setup:SQ3. mac mini, 1,8GHz 320GB/7200 HDD, 2GB Ram, OSX 10.4, Slimcenter 7.2.1
The SW is very easy to setup and getting running. It detects the server IP. You only have to connect this IP and then do a libary scan. I have around 1000 CDs and setup and Lib scan takes max 5min. Nice job!!! The SW reacts very fast compaired with the safari browsed IPENG. Actually just as fast as the Apple Remote SW. This makes the SW very usefull to use.. :-) But.. There is No folder search in the menu. It is only possible to search on "artist, Album, genres. also when playing a song from an album and wish to return to the album. This is not possible. you can only push two bottoms. "playlist" and "done". if you push "playlist" a playlist will show up. It is not possible to choose an other song from this list.. If you push "done" the you will be rolled back to the "startmenu" Here you then have to find the album again etc.. An other bad thing is the Volume control. This is placed so you only can control if you push on the top of the screen. the Volumecontrol will show up. The volume control is also very sensetive and to close to the "Off" button, that shots my SQ3 down. The menu does not allow you to use Squeeze network. Conclusion: I like the Gui expect for the problems above. IPENG has these features included but the safari based GUI is to slow. -- Caad ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Caad's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9350 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55073 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
