Hi Pippin
I saw you mentioned VPN control on another thread and would like to add
a feature request to this.
When using a VPN is it possible to have a optional lock to only control

I recently purchased the new Apple Watch 4 so have had a chance to try
the new watch app.
It seems fairly basic, but I just might not be using it correcly. Is
there a guide explaining its use, especially the latest versions for
watchos5?
Specifically is there anyway to browse and add music

Well, you could try to use it through the UPnPBridge plugin.
The results will vary, though, depending on the quality of the UPnP/DLNA
implementation.
Most of them are not very good, the reason vendors use UPnP is usually
that they lack the software competency to implement a decent protocol so
iPeng has long been my Goto for controlling my LMS based music library.
Time marches on though and I can foresee in the next five years that my

These (sub) menus always have been sorted by year first, it's the server
default, too.
No, it's not. Default is album name. There's only one list which is
sorted by year by default: "Browse by years".

Thank you continuing to support and improve iPeng with every release. It
looks incredible on my iPad Pro and the split screen mode is a very
handy feature allowing me to change/pause a track whilst still working
within another app.
I think I may have abandoned the LMS world a long time ago

To do away with a common myth: iTunes does NOT support half-star

iTunes shows average ratings for albums which can be half-star-ratings
but you can NOT set a half-star rating in iTunes.

The other way around.
It will start primarily as a player, probably with basic controls like

I plan to add full browsing eventually but it's cumbersome compared to
an iPhone.
The lack of a touch screen makes for very bad remote controls.
