I wouldn't say that Squeezey and SqueezePad work the same. Squeezey only supports mp3, so the LAME codec needs to be installed on the server - and anything must go through the CPU intensive mp3 encoding. SqueezePad support a lot more formats natively (and I'll implement native FLAC in some later version anyway).
FLAC to PCM decoding (i.e. SqueezePad) is much more lightweight than FLAC decoding and mp3 encoding (i.e. Squeezey). Also - as written - Squeezey doesn't support internet-radio (which needs some special treatment, as the iPad mp3 decoder alone cannot handle all streams). And none of the other Apps can operate with MySqueezebox.com alone. I'll look into Napster soon, don't have an account myself but that's what the testing is for. I already updated all descriptions this morning that Napster and Rhapsody right now are not working. Sorry to anyone who wants to stream these right now. For Napster I still have hope - and for Rhapsody AndyG destroyed my hope. But thanks a lot for the hint - I won't be as depressed as if I had tried it myself. -- bluegaspode Big Screen for great Boxes available now at your AppStore: *'Squeezebox + iPad = SqueezePad ' (www.squeezepad.com) *!
