After using iPeng on my iPhone for a long time I got myself Squeezepad
for my iPad, was great (still is). But then I tried the iPeng party app
on my iPad and that gave me a taste of what iPeng would be like, so I
bought it.
Absolutely great! just love the coverview and that I can finally use
iPeng 1.3.2 is now rolling out on the App Store and besides bug fixes
and some smaller improvements (see here:
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?95167-Announce-iPeng-updates-1-5-2-1-3-2)
it's does now feature even more retina features.
All player icons and most main screen UI elements
OK, the first update of iPeng Party now adds the same retina-compatible
resolution to that App.
So if you want to have a free preview, iPeng Party is your chance.

Personally, I think the retina display's resolution is just unnecessary.
But as things are people always want more no matter if they need it.
Same as we are still seeing with meegapixels in digital cameras.
Unfortunately lower res images will look much worse on iPad3 than they
did on iPad 1/2.

My wife has just purchased an iPad. I was reading this thread to help
decide which app to purchase and my decision has been made easy by
pippin's antics. I would not purchase anything from someone who would
stoop to such petty tactics. SqueezePad looks fine to me and it's

My 2 cents: I stopped using iPeng a few months ago. I didn't even
install it on my new iPad 3. Why? Because in my personal opinion it
gets more and more extra's I don't want/need/use. I only want a program
to control my players. This was iPeng's functionality on it's original

What kind of resolution is needed on the album art files for it to look
a lot better ?
I think most of mine are less than 500x500 pixels, will they still look
significantly better on the retina display ? Or do I need to start
getting album covers with higher resolution to get any real benefits ?

OK, tried it a bit again, 500x500 is not _too_ bad. Anything below
somewhere around 400x400 will not really look good in foll screen but
then that wasn't really different on iPad 1/2. I'd recommend to use one
of the lower scaling factors, e.g. the even scale thing.

Wow.
With the right cover quality, I dare say the screensaver looks much
better than having a physical CD in hand. The screen is larger than a
CD, you can't see the pixels, and colors are vivid.
Thanks a lot for this update!

Just for the record the development version of SqueezePad contains high
resolution artwork already as well.
And while posting pictures here in twice the resolution might make a
point, it should be noted, that it looks much less drastic on real iPad
even on Retina display.

I just wanted to point out that I expect you to change the pictures,
once a new version of SqueezePad has been released.
