1) Could you please check, if the Radio, Touch or Controller has the
option to add the song to the playlist in its context menu. I'm using
the original menus - if its not there it won't appear on SqueezePad
too.
2) some posts above there was an instruction on how to turn on
'network.cometd'-logging on the server. With this enabled could you
browse to this place and send the log to bluegaspode at gmail dot com.
Then I could look into it - most probably this is a menu type I don't
know so far.
Rhapsody is only available in US so I cannot test myself and need your
help !

Uhh - not good. Maybe I get the crash report if you allow iTunes to
send it.
As written above a comet.d-log of the offending menu will also help.
As on sunday I want to submit the next release ther's still some time
for finding and fixing bugs :D

Could you please elaborate which artwork is missing ? In the menus or
on the 'Now Playing' screen ? Could also doublecheck that your server
is showing the artwork ? - If the Logitech devices show artwork and
SqueezePad not than I'd need a cometd-log from you as well.

Portrait mode is not on my todo list right now. There was an informal
poll in the thread from pippin about portrait vs. landscape and from
there it looked that >75% of users prefer landscape. 

Supporting multiple servers: also not on my todo list with high
priority (right now) except mysqueezebox.com integration. I don't think
that the majority of users have multiple servers around and that this is
a very special case. Currently I assume that most users will have one
server and need to go to the settings screen just once in their
lifetime.
Adding automatic server discovery of course will come some time - but
don't expect it this year - too many more important features come
first.

External Links: do you have a sample menu which uses external links ?
Never stumbled about such one (so no wonder I don't support it). 
Is album review an extra plugin ?
How does the Squeezebox-Touch handle external links ? It doesn't have
an integrated browser, does it ? 

Local cache for artist-lists: if thats your most important point then
there is an option for it in the poll :D

Skins: I'm not very talented when it comes to graphics - this simple
shiny background is the best I can do ;) ... if anyone can provides
sketches or rough photoshop pictures I'd be more than happy to look
into them !

My focus was to provide the original SqueezePlay menus to get the full
feature set and not replace them here and there with custom variants.
So these feature request should be targeted to logitech first I think
(as they make a lot of sense also outside the world of SqueezePad).

The biggest problem I think is: the server right now doesn't send the
album names - and fetching them for each single menu line cannot be
done in reasonable time. 
When looking into the separate playlists feature I might have a look if
there are special CLI commands that provide the lists with song + album
name. If thats the case then maybe it would be a great way to have a
custom 'saved playlists' view there as well.
