As the OP (yes, I'm still here), it wasn't so much that the App came from Logitech...it's that it has the look-and-feel of the :9000 server control interface, which I'm use to and like. I also like that it allows me to switch between my wife's and my Pandora accounts, it allows me to move to different positions within the current playing track, and I find the up-and-down volume buttons really easy to use (and necessary). I haven't really had any performance problems, although I've had some lock-ups. But my ripped music collection currently is miniscule compared to what it will be. I'm a new Android user (I've had an LG Optimus V for about a month, which I haven't even activated as a phone, yet), so I'm still learning and getting used to it (I've never had a smart phone before). I've been hesitant about getting a native app for this mainly because my LG is already tight on space (I've moved everything I can to the card and it sounds like native apps preload the data and album art--where is all this stored?). I also like the principle of thin clients, with the data and most of the work done on the server (although I realize that principles don't always work so well in the real world). I'm also hesitant about buying without trying (will there be performance and/or space issues?, will it allow me to move back-and-forth within a track?, easily change volume?, etc.). That said, I find all this discussion really interesting and I am getting used to native Android apps. Sooner or later I'll probably be doing more research on the native apps and most likely end up with one or two. -- oldfolkie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ oldfolkie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=45065 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86487 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
