Differences how I see them (pippin please add) As of today iPeng supports native FLAC decoding (SqueezePad right now streams them as pcm or mp3), experimental WMA decoding (won't be a feature in SqueezePad) and synchronisation already works most of the time. pippin also had a good idea to detect if people use 3G and then forces the server to trancode to mp3 automatically (will follow in SqueezePad :D ). In SqueezePad right now you would need to activate bitrate limiting on the server for better 3G performance of lossless formats. SqueezePad is able to stream Spotify (when using triodes plugin). As of tomorrow a new SqueezePad version arrives on your AppStore and will - also feature native FLAC decoding - feature gapless playback (not available in iPeng - yet) - synchronisation among devices as well In one, two or three month I guess both will have exactly the same feature set and if there are any quirks left they will be solved in both. This is not an area where we can compete much regarding quality I think. Music is Music in the end (and only some Audiophiles will tell us soon how the music can be improved with interesting tricks). I'm waiting for the day someone announces that the audio from the iPad does sound better than that from the Touch though :) -- bluegaspode Big Screen for great Boxes available now at your AppStore: *'Squeezebox + iPad = SqueezePad ' (www.squeezepad.com)* - -now featuring streaming to iPad!- Want to see a Weather Forecast on your Radio/Touch/Controller ? => why not try my 'Weather Forecast Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73827) Want to use the Headphones with your Controller ? => why not try my 'Headphone Switcher Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67139) Setup: 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 2xSB-Radio Server (7.5.x) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bluegaspode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31651 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85502 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
