Re: [slim] iPeng vs. SqueezePad
I've used iPeng on my iPhone for a long time and was generally pretty happy with it. My biggest issue is that I find the interface for adding songs to a playlist a bit confusing (single song vs. whole album, replace playlist vs. insert next vs. add to end), but I think that's largely my problem, and would probably go away if I paid more attention. I've been using the iPhone version on the iPad recently as well and it works fine, but I thought I might get a better experience with something designed specifically for the iPad. After reading here and in other places on the web I decided to go for the SqueezePad. It seems to work fine, but I find the interface a bit frustrating for two reasons. First, the sliding transitions feel slow; I prefer the quick response of iPeng. Second, I use search a lot, and I like the way iPeng gives the results for artists, albums, and songs immediately, vs. SqueezePad which makes you choose which category you want to search. Not showstoppers, I might find I prefer other aspects of SqueezePad, and it's only $10, but I figured I'd pass along these points in case they're important to other shoppers or the developer. -- sferrari63 sferrari63's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=45858 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83112 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Is that inevitable, given iPeng is more feature rich, or could something be done to make it a bit snappier? How long have you used iPeng? iPeng will slow down the server a bit until you have loaded the artwork the first time because it doesn't use the same tiny thumbnails SqueezePlay uses. That will go away after each thumbnail has been resized and only has to be redone whenever you do a full clearrescan of your library on the server side. Another difference is album loading: iPeng loads the artist name along with the album which is slow in server versions up to 7.5.x. For both issues using SBS 7.6 helps a lot. Last but not least there's loading of the current playlist. With a truely large current playlist this can put a _lot_ of load on the server. I don't know exactly why that is, but SBS seems to be particularly slow in processing this and iPeng always loads the whole list in the background. Apart from that there is a number of cases in which iPeng is actually faster than SqueezePlay. Especially loading longer tables iPeng will show content much sooner because it doesn't wait for the whole list to be available. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83112 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Still too many buttons that either are in the way or that she doesn't find.

[slim] iPeng vs. SqueezePad
Hi, would someone please be so kind to post a screenshot of the browsing the music folder structure screen for the two apps? If possible please also post a screenshot of a album without a cover art. I am not sure which app to buy. My collection has some missing tags and covers. Therefore I am interested how this would look like in both apps.

Re: [slim] iPeng vs. SqueezePad
In iPeng there's a difference between a folder that only contains tracks and no subfolders which is then handled like an album or a higher-level folder with subfolders. The screen shots are portrait but this works similarly in landscape just with a wider right hand window.

Re: [slim] iPeng vs. SqueezePad
Yes, Musikordner which is Mysic Folder is in the top level. What you see on the left hand side is always the top-level menu, the navigation through lower-level menus is on the right hand side. iPeng keeps the menu tree for all top-level menus so if you go to e.g. My Apps and then come back to Music Folder you'll be on the same level in the music folder hierarchy as before. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83112 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Ooops, now flattermann beat me to it... Thank you for the confirmation flattermann amd pippin. :) Beeing able to have both top-level and sub-level menues open at the same time is exactly what I want. Is that also possible with SqueezePad?

Re: [slim] iPeng vs. SqueezePad
So in Squeezepad all navigation levels always stay in the left side pane? Hmmm, I still dont know which app to buy. Is there maybe a feature by feature comparison availible?

The video by the way doesn't show the playlist, which slides in from the right (you can see that on a screenshot on my website) A future version will have a button to dismiss the pane with the main menu, the cover area will then move to the left. Then you can choose to see either: - main menu and cover - cover and playlist - main menu and playlist (and not much of the cover) and of course switch between all these modes quite fast. 1st + 3rd option is available already today. 2nd as described, when the main menu can be dismissed in a future version. -- bluegaspode Big Screen for great Boxes available now at your AppStore: *'Squeezebox + iPad = SqueezePad ' (www.squeezepad.com) *!
