Did you know: *'SqueezePlayer'
Hi,
I have purchased SqueezePad and am very happy with it - it is an
excellent app and the best way I have found to manage my Squeezebox.
I have one question / issue.
Is there a way to completely stop playback of a file using SqueezePad?
Hitting the pause button on the playback screen
Hi Dave,
I never considered that a user needs to completely stop playback, so
right now it's not possible in SqueezePad.
There is a workaround for your problem though: if you enter the

option 'Power On Resume' under

Thank you for the very quick response.
Yes, I think this workaround will work for me. I've tried it and the
