Just installed Orange Squeeze and played with it a little. It found my server and players with no trouble and got right to work. I really like the interface. It's clean and quite intuitive, seems to function very smoothly on my Droid 3. I've only been using it for about a half hour, but I'm very impressed.
There is only one glitch that I've discovered so far. When browsing in the Albums view, there's something funky about how it handles albums that are "various artists". For example, I have an album called "American Made - World Played", and every track in it is tagged with that album name (and all in the same directory as well). The artist tag for each track is different. When I brows Albums, there is no listing for "American Made - World Played". If I browse by Artist, there's an entry for each artist, as I would expect, and if I touch the artist, I get a list showing the "American Made - World Played" album. If I then touch that album, I get a full list of all the tracks (rather than just the track specific to the artist I started with), but if I touch Play All or any of the tracks it still only plays the one track by the artist. I think the behavior there (in the Artists browser) is a little wonky. And it should definitely show me the entire album when I am browsing the Albums list. The same seems to be true for every "various artists" album I have. As it works right now, I have no way of playing an entire album of "various artists" except to go to each artist and play them one track at a time. The other controllers I use -- Duet Controllers, the standard browser interface, SqueezeCommander, the official Logitech Android app, the Touch, Boom and Radio panels -- all handle these albums correctly, which is to say that the albums show up in an album browse, under their correct album titles, and can be played in their entirety from there. Other than that, I haven't seen any problems. The only other feature I could suggest right off hand is to second the vote for a Preferences setting that would turn off the screen time-out. SqueezeCommander, for example, has a setting for this, so when the app is up, the screen stays on, and I don't have to mess with phone settings every time. That's a minor thing, but it is a nicety. Overall, I have to say I really like how the UI is structured, and certainly don't mind working around a glitch or two during its "1.x" release. I can see this ultimately becoming my primary Android-based control app if it proves to be stable and consistent (as I'm sure it will) and there aren't too many other bugs (as I'm sure there won't be).
