My first thought about paying for the application was that with my current setup I would never pay for it. Not that its not cool, because it is. But I own two controllers, and they handle our usage just fine. Besides the windows mobile that I use is actually my workplace's.
But upon installing .94, i slightly changed my mind. It really is a nice app. But I don't have a paypall account or other international micropayment options. Price-wise I think 5/$ would be a reasonable price depending on market size etc. I think that (with my current setup) 10$/ would be the top i would pay. Here ar my first (constructive) thoughts about .94: It has lost much of it's intuitive use. E.g. now there are three little icons for adding songs to the playlist. I guess the first one with the blue in the first line clears the playlist and adds the selected item. The one in the middle adds next and the last adds last. But its only a guess. Something like a tab-hold to get a ballon-tip would help me a lot. Also the icons could be more explanatory. The play-arrow and add-plus is universally understood. The artist-coverflow is really really cool. Something that really makes slimcontrol stand out from squeezeplay or the web-skins. But it times out too quick and it should flow back to the now-playing instead of just "clicking" back. Also you should be able to drill into the other albums that it shows. I guess that is something you have already thought about. Lastly I miss some indicator that there are albums "in front" of the current album. It took me a while to discover that there had been added more options to the "search menu". Couldn't all 6 items fit on one screen? Of course the current method allows for an indefinate number of menu items which is good. But only three on-screen at the same time is to little imho. The volume slider disappears after a few seconds timeout. Wuhuu :) Allways nice to see one's fingerprint being implemented. It may be that I just don't know how to use windwos mobile, but I miss some way of "minimizing" Slimcontrol when i need other applications. As stated above in the thread, documentation is crucial at this point. I can translate to Danish if requested, but I guess Denmark is such a small country (and generally quite English-capable anyway) that it may not be worth the effort. On a sidenote I'm having battery-issues. I downloaded a mediaplayer called GSPlayer on the phone (google it) and connected it to Server:9000/stream.mp3 so I can listen to music on the phone while controlling it with Slimcontrol (with a delay of 7-10 seconds). But between the two apps and wifi, the battery is drained in just a couple of hours. And the headphone socket doubles as charging socket (USB). So no listening while recharging. Keep up the great work! :o) (and release betas for us more often). -- Muele BR Mogens 2 Controllers, 2 Receivers, 1 Squeezeplay.
