I am right-handed myself but I always hold my iPhone with the LEFT hand, even when using it single-handed.

I can't directly search Napster, the Search is a feature of the Napster plugin and that would have to provide this. MeSue;473741 Wrote: > Oh, I can answer this...

YOu just saved me some time testing! greigmg;473935 Wrote: > > I don't see the thumbs up/down anymore after upgrading to the latest > version of iPeng.

I've heard this before. Will have to do a bit of investigating. I can't test Pandora myself (not available in Europe) so this is a bit hard...

In no way should it do that, you should probably file a bug on bugs.slimdevices.com -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
