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,

I take it neither one has a trial period? If I buy both and hate one of
them can I return it / get a refund?
If I get a new iPad down the road (like next April when V2 comes out)
can I move the app to the new device?

Pandora menus are driven by the server, so both Apps will integrate

I believe you'd need to install an external server (7.6), e.g. on a PC,
and connect the touch to it. It will then ask to update to the latest
7.6 FW and there you go.

I like the option of using it in portrait mode. I'll use both for a

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

The screen shots are portrait but this works similarly in landscape
