But that should be easy to solve in SqueezeCommander, just switch to the Add mode first. Try that with the Logi App. Also, doesn't SqueezeCommander also have a party mode? This is a question of trade offs and I would not want an App that sacrifices my 95%-of-the-time use case with a nag-popup

Well, actually SqueezeCommander's UI is pretty much based on iPeng's UI, albeit on an older version. I believe what makes it more confusing is that iPeng is based on the iOS UI which goes against the common Android UI scheme in some cases, plus iPeng has tutorials for things like the play mode

I've purchased a 4g iPod Touch 8GB for the wife and one for the son. Both run iPeng and both are very happy with units. Not a big Apple fan due to the tie in with their products but the clincher for me was that i didn't need to use iTunes at all. I use CopyTrans Manager (freeware) to load data

Hi, We have iPeng on a couple of iPhones around the house but as our squeezebox environment grows I'm looking for something dedicated in one part of the house that can ideally run iPeng but not at too great a cost. I have just ordered a new battery for my controller (3rd one) and that will cover

What you're probably looking for is an iPod touch (Apple and their fuNky captiLization...), sometimes called an iTouch. To keep costs down, look for a refurbished one at Apple.com or elsewhere. I can highly recommend the 3rd Generation iPod touch. If you're mostly using it for remote control of

I can only agree with aubuti. iPod Touch 3G is perfectly fine. BUT: you have to be careful, there are no 3rg Generation models with 8 GB, I believe, they only come in 32 an 64 GB variants, 8GB is only for 2nd and 4th Gen. I do NOT recommend the 2ng Gen Models anymore. They work but are slower and

I'm down on this option, but I may have just had bad luck. I got a refurbed iPod Touch and the battery stopped recharging pretty quickly. I wish the dang things had a user-replaceable battery. You can get a refurbed Android tablet, root and flash Ice Cream Sandwich and use the Logitech app for

Yes, and it still does. It does not support iOS 5, though. And while I currently don't see a reason to move the App to iOS 5 only (there were much bigger changes between 3 and 4) I still can't guarantee that there well not be a reason to remove support for the older devices in future updates.
