A small bug fix release is now available on the AppStore.
It should fix the rare but annoying crashes on startup for some

@gharris999: If you are prepared to put up with the hassle of no player
control at all, then even Safari will do stream.mp3. A modicum of user
interface would be nice, though! I have got ZumoCast installed, so I
can use that to stream music files. Not quite SBS, but better than
stream.mp3.
I believe what Jeff means is that with iOS 4.2 you can send it to the
background. Of course only if you could find it.

Thanks Pippin. We shall see next month, I suppose. I was just
wondering: Given that you have done all the hard work of creating, in
iPeng, a superb iPad UI to SBS, would it not be (relatively) easy to
compile a quick add-on that would morph iPeng into a SoftSqueeze-like
player for the iPad?
If it were easy I would have done it a long time ago.
I can't borrow from SoftSqueeze since that would be a violation of the
SoftSqueeze license, it's GPL which unfortunately is not compatible
with the App Store agreement (and a lot of other business models; GPL
is not a license, it's a dogma).

You have obviously put a lot of work into using the extra screen area,

The only downside is I need to rescan some of my artwork to take

The GPL would allow you to distribute a playback slave for free. You
may not think that this is worth your while. On the other hand, such a

Well this is annoying. I've been waiting patiently for iPeng for iPad

Well, if the slave were a stand-along piece of code, then it would not
force iPeng onto GPL. But if the AppStore somehow prohibits
redistribution - I have not read the 48 pages of TCs - then that's a
bit of a deal-breaker wrt GPL. You sure about this? It would be
fantastically stupid of Apple
Good to hear that.
The one thing you should avoid if you can is doing a clear and rescan
of the database since this will clear the artwork cache, too. A normal
rescan leaves it as it is.

this is right. When I did the stream.mp3 experiment in
Safari, I was able to play chess while the music was playing.
You'll never get intuitive on the iPad as long as you use the original
SBS menu structure. You may get stuff people had to learn before...
Squeemote is simple and intuitive (apart from that strange sync
screen), probably Squeezey, too.
They sacrifice functionality for simplicity and it works.
QuickTime, which is an Apple App can do multitasking. It's not that iPad
can't multitask, it's it doesn't support it in the sandbox.
As I said: iOS4 will support it.

The Controller may have its own cache. I would expect that a factory

My guess is that you are using iTunes, right? iTunes artwork will not

Hi Pippin,
Bought the app the first day. Used it for two days and I found the
long song title in classical music still cannot fully display in both
the portrait nor landscape mode. Is the title scrolling still not
feasible?
Other than this disappointment, I like this app very much, well done.
Just purchased the app. ...WOW! I really like the new layout -
especially the list view.
But the artwork does not show in the now playing mode. It shows on
the other screens..
I have flushed the cache - but to no avail.
Any ideas?
