Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, that will be the next thing I will try (the iPhone is currently not in the house...). If I understand correctly, after selecting the active library, the default buttons for artist, etc. only show those from the selected library? If that's the case (must try that and check the WAF), I'm currently almost certain that it will be highly appreciated if selection of the active library through iPeng does become possible... I will let you know! -- Mars Warrior ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mars Warrior's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31857 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80436 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
