Actually Repeat/Shuffle in the player settings would be perfect for landscape with pre IOS7. At least the functions would be accessible. I seem to be very good at asking for things that may make sense but no one has asked for before. :cool: I could do portrait but I'm trying to go for a "stealth" setup and the eyeglass compartment which flips down from the ceiling is perfect for that. Also I have not purchased a dedicated iThing for the car yet. I could get something that supports IOS7, it just costs a bit more I think. It may be buried in this thread but I'm not exactly sure what all the differences are between iPeng7 and the pre-7 version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ M7CC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62373 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
