24hrs ago I'd never heard of Squeeze Remote but our purchase of a Windows Surface RT Tablet (basic model) meant I had to find a way to access my music.
Source: QNAP419PII (Flac) - extensive (39,000+ tracks) collection running via ethernet to a Squeezebox Touch. I can access this library via PCs, Smartphones, and an iPad ... in addition to the SB Touch and SB Duet Controller. So I don't really need more access but that doesn't stop me ... So I bought Squeeze Remote and some hours later I finally got access :). There was nothing in the download which suggested how I should connect this interface to my QNAP library and the only UI was the menu option "Settings / Connections" from the RHS of the screen. A posting above suggests that you should drag down from above ... this has no effect whatsoever. After trying numerous times - and failing - to change the settings for jive.squeezenetwork,com under the Logitech Media Server option to something that represented my QNAP settings I finally opted to Add and start afresh and more by luck than judgement finally succeeded. Now I know I'm somewhat thick when it comes to PCs (I've been using them for only 25 years so I'm still a Newbie) but unless I missed something very obvious, how else is someone for whom the music - not the PC technology - is the prize, to know what you should do. Just how many other buyers, having spent their few �/$/Eur given up ... especially as the amount is (happily) minimal? I'm sorry to be critical as I support the efforts to bring this App to the market (since MS obviously feel that nobody wants to install LMS !) but I do find ... in my ageing years ... this technology baffling! As for the interface: I'll give it a day or two to get used to it but the thought of scrolling (swiping from the right) through hundreds of pages to get to titles beginning with letter S or T, etc. is not encouraging. Is there an alphabet jump somewhere that I'm missing? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MusicMad's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32948 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97998
