Hi, I've given it a try to and I have to second bluegaspode's finding: impressive quality for a first release. One more member in the club of people who believe horizontal swiping is a useful means of organizing pages :)
I also like some details like how the new NowPlaying information slides in when you change a player, taking care of details is always so cool! It's obviously not for my device, though. The layout is nice and gives a visible clue of where you are and gives you quick access to the player controls and the current track. This is certainly fine for a large-screen device like one of those Android-monster-phones with 4.3"-Displays that recently came out or for a tablet, but on my Xperia Mini pro there's almost no space for content left, when I use Search (where I have to use landscape since that's where the view rotates to when I open the keyboads), there's only a single line left for results which makes me feel a bit like on the Squeezebox Classic. In portrait it shows four rows which still feels like you want a full-screen mode or something. A few details: * I don't like the breadcrumbs. Maybe that's my small device again but they always only show the current menu level plus "> ... > " and I find taking up 1/3rd of a row just to let me know that this is not a top level menu a waste of space, a single symbol would have done, especially since at least in portrait the tradeoff usually is that the menu level gets truncated. * For "Apps" I haven't found a way to do anything else but play single tracks, is this not ready, yet, or a bug? These tracks (unlike the menus where it's fine) also don't show artwork, at least for Spotify. * When waiting up from sleep it takes _very_ long to reconnect to WiFi and the server, might be my device. * The player overview with the volume bars flickers the handle and shows changing volume for some of my players even if nothing happens. * I sometimes get an erroneous "loading..." message at the bottom of the screen. * It sometimes loses the connection to the server and I have to kill and restart it then. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92330 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
