You have probably been asked this several times before, but.. In regards to the better search post on the poll, would it be possible to have a search bar integrated in the squeezepad interface separated from the navigation menu? Browsing my own music isn't a problem as I usually just navigate from the album list, but when I am using Wimp and want to make a playlist of several different songs, I find it a bit inconvenient to do many consecutive searches (back to menu, enter Wimp, scroll down to search, etc.) Another issue I have occurs when I'm making a mixed playlist from wimp and my music library. If I'm using the always add to end option, selecting a song in wimp adds that song to the list, while selecting a song from my library adds the entire album to the playlist. I don't know if this is an issue with squeezebox or the squeezepad, and whether it can be fixed either through my settings or with a modification of the app. Again, thank you for an excellent app, and your attention to the users is admirable.

Hi Soundcheck, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately it's not very easy to include such a feature (so that most users would like it I guess). Attached you'll find a design study I once did. As you can see this study adheres to the current SqueezePad layout (i.e. just uses the left menu bar). One will have bigger covers but to still print the album name there is not enough room left. Maybe looks a little bit nicer though than the current album view, but much less information - you probably will be slower with browsing albums this way. What could be the alternative? Well - full screen cover wall of course! But: how to switch from current menu style to full screen cover in a nice and intuitive way? Also after selecting an album, we have to switch back to the track view so whatever animation we use: it might feel a little bit unsettled if the left menu always grows and shrinks. So far I didn't come up with a good idea that felt intuitive, but I'm open to any suggestion! In the end SqueezePad always strives to be more intuitive than iPeng (oh noes, now pippin will answer again ;)) and I won't sacrifice this main directive for a big but clumsy album wall too easily :) +---+ |Filename: album-covers1.jpg| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=13030| +---+ -- bluegaspode Did you know: *'SqueezePlayer' (www.squeezeplayer.com)* will stream all your music to your Android device.

If you run large collections, it's so much more comfortable to scan your collection by looking for album art tables. TextSearch is usually not that easy.

With IPeng I manage to have 30 thumbnails on one page. That's great. Within shortest time you can scan 200-300 albums. Something like that should make it into Squeezepad. The pity: I prefer the overall design of Squeezepad over iPeng. I' d really like to use it. However. Because of that missing feature I still use iPeng.

Interesting find! I just fixed this on my local iPad tonight, . Many thanks, you are always welcome. When below described misbehavior gets fixed I will embrace your sneak preview offer :) setup: SqueezePad controls Squeezeslave (SqueezePads internal player can be either on or off, it does not matter). good behavior: SqueezePad runs all day long, the music plays, SqueezePad is on top and visible. On certain occasions I put on the smart cover, the music keeps on playing. When the smart cover is removed within 10 minutes the SqueezePad is still alive and on top of the screen (just the way you left it). 10 minutes and more under smart cover the music still keeps on playing. So far all is greatly appreciated. misbehavior: If you remove the smart cover later than 10 minutes after you put it on you will see your home screen. SqueezePad has to be opened again from the multitasking bar. SqueezePad immediately displays the status of the current song, it feels like it just went into multitasking mode (iPengHD shows identical misbehavior). what has been so far discovered: - when the smart cover is removed 9:50 after you put it on, SqueezePad is still on top, but there is a message Server disconnected. The message disappears and SqueezePad stays on top of the screen. - iPads integrated Apple music player always stays on top, no matter how long it is covered and no matter if it actually plays or not. iOS settings should be fine (auto-lock=never, Passcode Lock=Off) my wish: Please let SqueezePad stay on top of the screen even when the iPad 2 is covered by smart cover.

Hi Khj999, I'm afraid that for various reasons I decided against it. Most important of all: iTunes App Store reviews are cruel. If something does not work easy and intuitive (or just does not work some times) you'll get bashed to the ground in a very destructive way (at least from the developers point of view). Net-UDAP is about to not work for most people (as you need to wire the stuff) and it also won't be inuitive. So I had to create a second free App - to keep SqueezePad save from Net-Udap comments/ratings. But then had to do all the support for the people, which is also not on the list of things to do in my free time. I'm also not sure if it would pass App-Store review, as the Apple guys wouldn't be able to test such an App at all. Last but not least: the Receiver is abandoned by Logitech. Hope you are not too disappointed by this decision.

Prev+next+play are not needed, because you can just tap on the song you want to hear. And I guess most of the time when you want to stop a song, you don't need the playlist anymore so can close it. At least that was my thinking. When do you need those controls most, even when the playlist is open? I think just shorten the height of the list does not look too good (I tried it, but did not like it). One idea I have for the future is, that one can also slide out the main menu. The background (i.e the big cover and title of the current playing song) together with the play/stop/next/prev controls would slide to the left then. So you would have a mode with just the playlist open and the main controls still accessible. Don't know yet when I get time to implement it but thought that it would look and feel quite cool. -- bluegaspode Big Screen for great Boxes available now at your AppStore: *'Squeezebox + iPad = SqueezePad ' (www.squeezepad.com)* - -now featuring streaming to iPad!- Want to see a Weather Forecast on your Radio/Touch/Controller ? = why not try my 'Weather Forecast Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73827) Want to use the Headphones with your Controller ? = why not try my 'Headphone Switcher Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67139) Setup: 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 2xSB-Radio Server (7.5.x) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential. bluegaspode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31651 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83106 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

My request is to have different setups defined and being able to choose between them by pressing a single button - preferably on the main screen. I have players in the kitchen, living room and bathroom + a controller. For those players I would create at least these setups for different scenarios: 1) Normal; All players synced. Controller separate. 2) Bath; Kitchen and living room synced, bathroom separate, Controller separate. 3) Alternative; All players and controller synced (I know that the controller doesn't sync well, but it's ok for listening to the same music in the garage). The setups should not just be groups but complete definitions of all players - in other words it should be possible to define several groups in one setup. Switching control between groups in a setup should just be like switching between players. P.S.: I won't get my iPad until march, but I know from using iPeng for iPod and Squeeze Commander for Android that sync handling can be improved compared to both of these apps:-) -- ThomP ThomP's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15471 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83106 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I think this will be too complicated. - from the UI that has to configure that - for the user who has to be asked multiple music sources for each subgroup in a setup, when it is activated. As I see this it should be sufficient to have multiple named 'simple' groups (like the three you described). When users switch sync settings they typically do that for a particalur reason (i.e. starting a party, going to the bathroom, going to the garage ...). Rarely I think this involves using multiple non-overlapping sync-groups at once (and even if: they could be activated with one click more). Where would you need multiple sync groups in one setup?

Question: What's your highest priority
- More images of your music collection
- More Screensafers
- Better player syncing
- Mysqueezebox.com - Player Switching
- Better Search
- Drag'n'Drop for the playlist
- TrackStat Ratings
- IRBlaster integration
- Big Screen with Album Covers for selection
- Something else

I definitely agree, we need to remember that a few people might have a
lot of players but most people interested in the synchronization
functionality are only going to have 2 or 3 players.
To me, the sync groups is more about having a logical name for a group
and easily being able to start playing music in a specific group
without the need to mess around with sync settings in all the players
not in the group.
Another issue is that I'm going to want to be able to handle this on
multiple remote controls. When I'm in the living room I'm going to have
the iPad but when I move to another room I might only have access to the
iPhone in my pocket. Due to this, I have a feeling a server side plugin
would be a better solution than an implementation directly in an
iPad/iPhone app, at least as long as the sync group definitions are
stored locally in the app.
The obvious disadvantage with using a server side plugin is that it's
not going to work with MySB.com.

The way I see it the first point doesn't have to be too complicated - it is basically a two-level grouping: When you define a scenario, you create and assign one or more groups to the scenario and assign each player to exactly one group. I didn't really consider the second point - possibly because I rarely sync players during playback, but I can see how this could cause problems:-) You might also be right that it is overkill - and I don't have the use case for it at the moment either. The main reasons for the idea was: 1) It seemed logical that the app should always know and control the state of all players. 2) Sometimes players are logically connected and should never be unsynced (i.e. our living room and kitchen are not separated by walls so playing different music on those would be quite confusing so they are either both playing the same or one of them is switched off). If you have more players like this it would make sense to be able to keep them synced even when you change group setup. When users switch sync settings they typically do that for a particalur reason (i.e. starting a party, going to the bathroom, going to the garage ...). I only change sync settings if my wife wants to listen to something in the shower and I want to listen to something different in the living room or vice versa:) the rest I control by switching players on or off - but that may be because sync control from the players is so lousy:) Rarely I think this involves using multiple non-overlapping sync-groups at once (and even if: they could be activated with one click more). Probably true! From your scenarios I see an interesting use case though: Until now I only thought about synching a group of players - but not unsyncing. So I need to think a bit more about how users are supposed to get back from scenario 3 to 2. By making sure you don't just activate a group but a complete scenario that covers the sync state of all players;) One solution would be to unsync everyone else that is not in the group? That would probably satisfy my needs. I haven't really thought about what should happen to the playlist when a group is unsynced (partially or completely) - going from my scenario 1 to 2 or 3 to 2. In my case I would probably prefer that the old group playlist was transferred to all players involved, because sometimes the playlist belongs to the bathroom, and sometimes to the rest of the house. BTW: Again, based on my use, no matter how groups are defined and synced, it is important that syncing or unsyncing doesn't change the on/off state of players! -- ThomP ThomP's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15471 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83106 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I think it's great with the competition and it's great to see that
these apps focus on different areas as this will make sure more people
find a satisfactory remote control for their Squeezebox. We don't need
two apps that works exactly the same, two apps that focus on different
aspects and different areas, as we currently have, will give us a
choice.
However, if possible, I suggest to at least put the my app is better
than your app related arguments in a separate thread.
Now, back to work, I really want those LastFM artist images on my iPad
screen, something that finally would make the iPad look better than the
Squeezebox Touch. I wonder who gets there first... ;-)

Then you should have a look into the settings-screen of SqueezePad for the 'playlist modification mode'. Here you can change the behaviour when you tap on items.

But as erland said might be difficult for SqueezePad. For instance when browsing Napster menus, SqueezePad actually doesn't even know it's showing Napster-Menus. It just gets a list of menuitems which are either playable or have a submenu. As of the other idea: a context menu for the local library (here it might be possible to realize when I'm in the albums or artists list) especially for Napster ... have to analyze if the Napster menus have some special commands to start them.

I would love this but I like to use Spotify instead of Napster.
I really don't care if the music comes from my local library or one of
the online services I'm paying for. If I have an album in my local
library I want the system to use that, else I want it to use the one
from the online service. Possibly with an extra dialog asking if I like
to use the version in the online service.
Unfortunately, I suspect this is a bit out of scope of the current
SqueezePad client. I suspect something like this requires support on
the server side.
However, something that probably could be done is something similar to
what Triode has done with the Spotify plugin. When you open the context
menu on an artist in the local library you get an On Spotify item at
the bottom and by selecting that you will get a list of albums by this
artist available in Spotify with the option to play them. I suspect
something like this would be possible to add to SqueezePad for the
Napster service.
Another possible solution is if it's possible to create a favorite for
a Napster artist ? If that's possible, you might be able to setup
favorites for all your local artists and for all the Napster artists
you are interested in and get a common list of them under the Favorites
menu. The issue is just that you probably don't want to do this manually
if you have a lot of artists. A Favorite Artists lists is probably
realistic to do manually but not a All Artists list.

A context menu opens when you do a long press on a menu-item (it's the
same menu you get, when you press the '+' key on the Controller).
Just to confirm, as expected the context menu works perfectly in
SqueezePad.
So anyone that just wants to be able to show lyrics for a song can
install Song Info and Song Lyrics plugins in SBS Settigns/Plugins and
then hold a while on a track in SqueezePad and select the Song Lyrics
item at the bottom of the context menu that appears.

in tags but it is available if Song Info/Song Lyrics third party
plugins are installed on the server. Lyrics in tags are scanned and
stored in the database and iPeng gets them from the server, so there
should be some JSON command to use to get them.
If you like to integrate Song Info/Song Lyrics plugin data in a screen
saver or somewhere else than in the context menu, you want to use the
songinfoitems command provided by Song Info plugin:
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Song_Info_plugin
And this post might also give you some more details:
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=530639#post530639
Song Info also provides the artist images from LastFM.com if you don't
want to integrate with LastFM.com directly when you get to my favorite
feature in the TODO list ;-)
As mentioned above, Song Info also shows its information (including
Lyrics from Song Lyrics plugin) in the Context Menu and I'm guessing
this already works in SqueezePad but I haven't tried it myself.

As a geek, I'll put up with some minor annoyances 'coz its cool' but I know I have to get the usability perfect for her to use it - it has to be the best and easiest solution - hence why she sometimes just plays the music out of the iPhone speaker. Its low tech, low quality music, but its easy and it works every time. As for the idea of having a sync all and unsync all button, Im not sure. Right now, as I only use 2 players, that would be perfect - clicking just one button would be nice, but long term, I expect to have music in a number of separate rooms, eventually including a cinema room and kids and guests bed rooms - it would be a bit weird to turn on music everywhere. I think long term I would still like to be able to sync specific rooms together. I also think iPeng have not nailed this yet - I can do it (on the iPhone) and its nicer than navigating menus, but as a test if my mum she would have no clue how to do it - there must be a clearer more obvious way.

I'm not really using synching much myself, so I might not understand
the exact needs, but maybe something really simple (from a user
perspective) would cover most cases. What if you added an option to
sync all players which is powered on and another option to make it
easy to power off and unsync all players. Something like this would
be a bit hard coded but it would make it very easy to:
- Enable synchronizing on all players for a party
- Disable synchronizing on all players when the party is finished
For users that want more specific control, they can always use the
already existing options.

Just for references, I'm missing the LastFM artist images that makes my

that's a lot more important than syncing options. :-)

Actually, musixmatch.com, which is one of the sources I'm using for the

to agreements with music industry, in comparison to some of the other

I haven't verified how many songs musixmatch.com have lyrics for yet

There is a lyrics column in the tracks table, doesn't the standard
scanner fill that ?
If it does, isn't there a JSON command to retrieve it ?

Anyway, I looked at the slimdevices wiki. I'm sorry but this is a no go. I'm an IT consultant and music lover. But when I read the wiki I think this is for the tech-savvy only. We need two plug-ins, repositories and are faced with multiple downloads. How should I install this stuff on my Synology NAS (with flipflip's SSODS)? Shall I just put the files in a folder with SSH (putty)? The same goes for my former request about 'MusicIP' (or if you like the 'Genius' mixes on any iPod, which is less Genius than MusicIP, but okay, we can't have it all :-)). You almost have to be a programmer to have the MusicIP service run on a Windows PC / server, let alone on a unix device (and for my Synology NAS I have no clue). So, I hope both the people behind SqueezeCenter, as well as developers like you can help to make features like this available for the vast majority of music lovers.

But, certainly, I want to say something like johansombekke said, a screensaver or similar where I can see lyrics, without navigate with a context-menu. Even with lyrics change when song change.

Karaoke-Mode Just connect your iPad with the TV and here goes the next party :D Just afraid most lyrics don't come with timestamps. So will be difficult to present all text (or user needs to manually scroll). Also without a plugin on the serverside, SqueezePad wouldn't have access to lyrics in the tags. As I doubt that logitech will provide something like that as a standard feature the only way will be via server-side plugins. Both plugins mentioned should install quite easily by the way. I think they can be activated directly from the Web-UI (if erlands repository URL is entered on the bottom). -- bluegaspode Big Screen for great Boxes available now at your AppStore: *'Squeezebox + iPad = SqueezePad ' (www.squeezepad.com) *!
