It does indeed. I just installed the current build and I am impressed,
7.5 it is so much better than 7.4.2! They even ironed out most of the
kinks that always bugged me but were so small that I thought nobody
would ever bother to fix them. That's really reassuring, thanks to the
developers for paying attention to the details. I am now quite positive
that the Touch will be a product that does not simply fulfil its
function, but that customers will enjoy to use. :)
Some things that don't work yet (maybe some of them are server issues
since I am still running SBS 7.4.2):
- The applet installer seems to be currently broken.
- No context menu for disk folders when browsing the library by
folder, which means you cannot add complete folders to the playlist at
once, but have to add each file individually.
- No years when browsing by album or artist.
- No track numbers in the playlist.
- Image viewer auto-rotation treats desktop SqueezePlay as a mobile
device.
- Still no audio when synchronizing to other players.
As a side note on audio, it would be nice if the VU meters were
calibrated to show the actual analog output level of the Touch (0dB =
775 mV RMS is the usual reference level in electroacoustics), but
apparently they are not since they don't respond to the volume control.
Anyway, I am now much more confident than I was yesterday. It's a pity
that the buggy SqueezePlay 7.4 is still the official version, because it
gives a wrong impression of the product. So anyone who wants to know
what the Touch will -really- look like should install version 7.5
instead.
