Erland, Personally, I have never felt a need for anything more than the infra-red remote control. I have been completely satisfied using it. Downloading the Logitech Controller app was out sheer curiosity. But I think that the most compelling reason for a person to buy an app to control their Squeezebox, from an portable touch pad device, would be to have a user interface that is consistent with device's operating system user interface (iOS, Android, whatever it may be) So in short, an iOS device should have a user interface which is similar to iOS's native interface. And probably these users are used to using iTunes and having its features eg. easy to install app that has all bells/whistles working out of the box, without having to install/enable plugins. I loved your Trackstat plugin, but regular Squeezecenter/Squeezebox server updates later it breaks, and I gave up after having to reinstall it. Features that allow star ratings (ala trackstat plugin), automatic album artwork retrieval, cover flow, play similar artists/genres/music ala Squeezescrobbler, retrieval of lyrics, artist biography/discography, critic's reviews, Youtube links, Facebook integration (ala Shazam), direct download of music (or "synchronize") to their iOS device. Perhaps individuals could get together an form a development team, rather than go at it alone. -- tktran ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tktran's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19764 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87212 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
