You can't have two versions of the same App on the App Store so it would have to be a separate App and everybody would have to purchase it again. While this would have it's merits for me :) , I don't think it's something a lot of people would like. Besides: it would be pretty hard to still provide updates for the old version. I do still have an old version of XCode around but all of the code base is now quickly moving to 5.0.

I use it as a bedroom alarm clock. I listen to BBC world service or Radio Paradise when I wake up. It plays all the BBC stations via Tunein radio. I think Tunein transcodes the streams to mp3, BBC stations have a delay before they start playing. The radio app is a little annoying, you have to start Tunein radio, then select presets, then scroll to the station you want to hear, and scrolling does not work that well since it has a resistive touch screen. It is reliable though. I have a squeezebox touch, not a squeezebox radio, but I wish the Archos had presets. I guess if I was to pick an internet radio, I would pas on the Squeezebox, since the future of Mysqueezbox is in doubt. I would pick the Archos, although it is a little too difficult to use. I may also look at the Sangean Internet radio, lloks like a nice unit, but I do not know if it can play BBC. malaugh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17610 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96695 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

First of all I haven't totally given up on Logitech's UE route yet. I still think it likely that they will produce a higher quality player with RCA analog and digital output stages. I know the control system and plugin support is will be poor relation to the SB line, but for me that is less important than player synch and a proper ecosystem with full support for radio and third party apps. Mind you, rather than going with UE or some unsupported SB system, I think it is more likely I will go with Sonos especially as I am very unlikely to get anywhere near its 65,000 track limit. To replicate my current system in Sonos kit I would need 2 Sonos Connects (to replace the Receivers) and a ZoneBridge - altogether around £600 which is not much more than two SB Touches. I will probably leave this to until it was totally essential (either the hardware fails or Triode's Spotify and BBC iPlayer plugins stop working) as it would seriously irk me to replace my more capable SB setup with a considerably less capable Sonos one.

Re: [slim] UE Radio or . . . ?
Also have an Archos 35 Home Connect. The quickest way I have found of using TuneIn is to hit the search icon and type in the name of the station you want - saves all that scolling about. For the BBC, TuneIn plays either the WMA or AAC streams natively (you can select which if you want). Sound quality from the Archos is not up to the standard of the SB radio, but still very good for such a small device in my view.

Re: [slim] iPeng 2.0 Teaser Thread
The fact aside that I don't know whether I can still get a (new) App into the store that's not doen with the iOS 6 SDK (I don't know, would have to read that up), it would have a few issues: 1. Apple hates it when you populate the App Store with similar Apps - OK, you could argue that this is not the case here. 2. The discount is a nice idea and I would have loved to do that already for iPeng for iPad, but there is no such thing as discounts on the App Store. Cydia Store would be a way but that's contractually forbidden by Apple... But the main point is: what would be the point? If you already have iPeng as it is, you can keep a copy. It's highly unlikely to get any new features in the future since I will be damned to not use new APIs that make your life so much easier and even only make a lot of things possible for anything new I write (starting with some nice syntax changes in Objective-C, like additional object literals) So it would only be useful for all the people who haven't purchased iPeng, yet, and own an iPod touch 2G or iPhone 3G. So here's the hint: if somebody of you reading this is in this group: you've probably got 3-4 more days to go, hopefully not more. pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96679 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

But I won't keep a copy, like 99.9% of your user base (and their partners/kids#8230;) Besides, I don't know how to shuffle an old version of some app into iTunes, along with the latest version I also have use for. I guess I don't know because I don't want to bother with that. On the other hand, if I stumble upon an old iPod, I guess I'd be glad to pay 1 or 2 E and turn this iPod into a usable SB remote or even player. That still would be a cheap deal. And if I recklessly upgraded, a Frozen iPeng version in the store could still give a choice. Usually the errors I make cost me more than 1E..

Re: [slim] iPeng 2.0 Teaser Thread
Can this thread please be dumbed down for me a bit? I just purchased my first Apple product...my first smartphone ever...an iPhone 4s. I purchased iPeng the other day, and while I am still figuring out all the stuff it does as far as running the three squeezeboxes in my home goes, it does seem to be one of the cooler things to come along since sliced bread. I assume that Pippin here is the author of iPeng? (sorry if that is overly obvious). Thank you for such a great utility! I can't really fathom the kind of work that goes into creating something like iPeng. What will this new version of iPeng mean to me? How does one back up the iPeng .ipa file? Is that file located in a folder within the iTunes application itself? I'm really sorry for all these novice questions...and thank you for humoring me.

Thanks :) I assume that Pippin here is the author of iPeng? Indeed. Thank you for such a great utility! I can't really fathom the kind of work that goes into creating something like iPeng. Happy, if you are! What will this new version of iPeng mean to me? iPeng gets a new user interface that looks like in these screen shots and that you hopefully will find to be better looking and even more user friendly. From the feedback I got from my beta testers I'm quite optimistic in this respect. You will get it offered as a free update through the App Store as soon as Apple releases it. How does one back up the iPeng .ipa file? Is that file located in a folder within the iTunes application itself? Actually I never really find any systematic in this, it seems to be somewhere else with each operating system and release of iTunes but yes, somewhere in the iTunes folder structure. On a Mac, I use spotlight to find it. You need to sync your iPhone first, though. That said: unless you are afraid that the new version would be something you don't like, right now there is no need to backup for an iPhone 4s. The 4s comes with iOS 5 preinstalled so will support iPeng for at least another year, probably at least two (since iOS 6 is of course available for it). The newest phone that is NOT supported anymore is the iPhone 3 which came out four years ago. It was still sold by Apple until two years ago, though, which is why some people still have working ones (mine is completely unusable, not just because it's an old platform but because it's physically coming apart after falling on the street a few times and the battery is completely down it's a four year old phone, only the Nokia 6310i ever survived that long for me). Still supported means that you can re-download it from the App Store at any time. The only problem with no longer being supported is when a new version comes out that no longer supports your phone or iOS-version. Since you can always only have a single version of an App in the App Store, the new one then will no longer be compatible with the old device and you can't install it.
