... And now all major iPeng versions got a little update again.
Some details:
IPENGS FACEBOOK AND TWITTER CLIENTS HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO RECENT
VERSIONS.
- Twitter: The Twitter client in old iPeng versions became
dysfunctional after Twitter discontinued support for their legacy API.
This is now fixed with the new integration which also features a
better performance and finally also a better rendering on Retina
Displays.
- Facebook: On iOS 6, the native Facebook integration will be used if
possible. This allows iPeng to prefill the text for your post with the
song you are sharing. Also, for your own library (where no direct
links to the music are available), iPeng now adds the cover to the
post.
On iOS 5, you will still have to paste the current track title into
the status message, using the edit menu.
For both clients, you need to reauthorize iPeng to use your Facebook or
Twitter account.

announcement:

This functionality is available in all three iPeng versions.
NEW FILE FORMAT INDICATORS
Another improvement in the controller affects the display of files in
albums and playlists. For files using lossless formats (FLAC, ALAC and
the like), the file format will be shown along with the track, so that
you can more easily distinguish between compressed and lossless audio
files in your collection.
Playback
IPENG PLAYBACK ALSO GOT SOME IMPROVEMENTS:
- Support for Replay Gain: iPeng Playback now supports the Squeezebox
Servers replay gain feature, allowing you to normalize the playback
volume across a number of files. If you use iPeng with a dock that
supports volume control separately from the audio stream (e.g. through
USB audio), Replay Gain can even be used without affecting the music
data itself (which means that its lossless then).
- Remote Volume Control: In previous versions of iPeng, remotely
controlling iPengs volume only became effective with a considerable
delay. Now, iPengs volume can be remotely controlled the same way
this works for the Squeezebox itself.
- Automatic Latency Compensation (experimental): If you sync iPeng
with other Squeezebox players, iPeng will now automatically adjust the
output delay to match the output being used. This way, e.g. a
Bluetooth headset or AirPlay receiver will use a different delay than
e.g. a normal headset or a dock. Please note that the accuracy of this
feature depends on the timing accuracy of the actual output device,
especially with AirPlay this will probably not be sufficient for an
exact synchronization.
If you need to manually adjust a playback delay (e.g. for an AV
Receiver with a long internal delay), you can turn this feature off in
the playback settings.
IOS 7 SUPPORT
For those of you who already use Apples iOS 7 beta releases, iPengs
playback and the registration on MySqueezebox.com did not work with
previous releases. This is now fixed, so that you can try out iPeng on
this OS version, too.
Have fun!
