I have to admit that I never tested skipping that many songs. >From what you say this sounds like a possible memory bug (keeping all covers in memory) - though I'm always profiling that such things won't happen. Nevertheless: in the last version I indeed found such a problem which is fixed in the version waiting for review from Apple - so this issue might get solved this very week. But this error could also be something different I don't want to take chances. If you sync your iPad with iTunes you will find crashlogs at the following places: * Mac OS X : ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/<DEVICE_NAME> * Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Application Data\Apple computer\Logs\CrashReporter/<DEVICE_NAME> * Windows Vista: C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Apple computer\Logs\CrashReporter/MobileDevice/<DEVICE_NAME> Just send them over to 'support at squeezepad.com' and I can have a better look. > Next, even though both Biography and Album Review plug-ins work under > iPeng, Ive yet to make it work under Squeezepad.

Both work fine for me and I'm using them a lot of times. It's strange that iPeng shows them though - but on the other hand in certain areas both Apps use different strategies. Do you own any of the SqueezePlay based devices (Touch, Radio or Controller) ? Does the plugin work on these devices ? > > Again, since I use Squeezepad in Portrait mode, more and more, it would > be very nice if I had the ability to select the next song easily, from > the IPAD, without having to exit from Portrait to Landscape I'm thinking about showing some controls when touching the screen (and having a 'Back-Button' then.)) Since now I thought that this wouldn't make much sense, because with a single Touch one would see the controls anyway. But you have an argument and put your idea on the backlog for future considerations (album art caching and better playlists are first though) > > Is there a way that the users can select his/her own background colors, > borders, fonts to change the color scheme of Squeezebox to suit each > individuals taste. I don't plan to make the looks configurable. Anyway - your wishes might have been heard because a fellow guy from Toronto made a suggestion to overhaul the interface. I just finished a small video presentation where you can have a peek about what is about to come: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc1TqeUJlC4 Unfortunately this update is waiting for review now already for 9 days :(. At least this makes hope that review will be finished this week and you will get an update. > I would love if the ability existed to select the background/border/font > colors or potentially emboss or create effects, such as light, on the > Album cover and background itself. Though I don't plan to make it configurable I think we can still make the screensafer mode more sexy with some simple effects! Thanks for this suggestion - as this might be very simple maybe we will have something now in one of the following updates. > > Again thanx for taking the time to make this wonderful Application, and > perhaps you can consider a few of the above design suggestions. > Thanks for taking some time yourself. I'm sure some of your wishes will come true already with the next update ... some others still this year.
