Did you ever send me a diagnostics mail when that happened? There is one
issue with the player restarting immediately after you leave the App if
you stop it right before leaving iPeng in which case it will not work
when you return (but then it's out of control, not gone). This has also
only been around with the very latest 2 versions (since 2.0.11).
Apart from that I'm tempted to say I believe the problem will be with
your setup (primarily networking and/or server), I'm not aware of any
other issues with iPeng's playback.

Yes.

There is also SBPlayer. I can't judge on "better", I rarely ever use the
players on Android but I've never had any issues with SqueezePlayer,
what part of it needs to be "better" for you?

That's a question of personal preference. SqueezeCommander is the most
feature complete one but didn't see any development for over a year and
OrangeSqueeze keeps catching up.
If you are familiar with iPeng's UI before the redesign,
SqueezeCommander will look familiar although I often get confused by the
different arrangement of the buttons on the menu bar.
OrangeSqueeze has a more Android-like UI and probably looks more modern
although it also sometimes confuses me, but then I don't use Android
enough to be really familiar with it's UI conventions.
OrangeSqueeze also has some integration with OrangeSqueeze (you can
start the player from the App).

There is also SqueezeControl and a few other Apps. I believe
SqueezeControl has some integration with SBPlayer, the Apps are from the
same author.
