Just a comment from my side. iPeng is still my reference SB control from a functionality perspective. I don't think it has to fear any competition, neither from Squeezepad nor from Logitech. Those are just copying that IMO basic feature set, which is all but user-friendly, especially if your collection approaches a certain size.
If you'd ask me. I'd say. No I wouldn't need those social media functions. Probably I'm not in that addressed target group though. Lot's of programming effort and money goes into those from my perspective rather questionable features. What I'd like to see: I hope that we see one day a better consistant (dark) "theme" on the iPeng interface. I know, that this is ususally said to be a matter of taste. I wouldn't agree at this point. GUI style mix is not considered the most successful strategy for applications to make its users feel well. Yep there's IMO quite some space for improvement. The mix up of blue-white, black screen designs and those old style blue framed pop-ups (taken from 1st generation iPeng I guess), i'd consider all but consistant. I assume you had a chance to look at SqueeezPad, it looks really good and consistant - it just lacks iPeng functionalities. ;) I keep the fingers crossed that you gonna do something about it. Obviously a lot of time goes into programming of new iPeng features, which do not relate to playback and database management anymore. That I consider a pity. Bottom line. I don't think those social media things will keep you in the lead. The wikipedia thing is not bad. Still, fighting the Googles/browsers etc. won't work out on the long run I guess. I find myself using very often the browser to enter the html-based setup dialog of the SB server. Would be great if I could do all that from iPeng. That's what I also consider very useful. I could change plugin parameter settings and advanced settings, asf from inside iPeng. No need to switch apps. Off-topic wish: I'd find it nice if the push2play function of iPeng as it is done on the iPhone would also be made available on the iPad. By pushing the album art from the collection-overview layer to start immediate playback, should also work on the iPad - it could be introduced as a new feature to be activated under settings. (Shouldn't be such a big deal) Anyhow. Keep up the good work. I recommended your App more than once and keep doing it. ;) Cheers -- soundcheck ::: ' Touch Toolbox 2.0 and more' (http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com) ::: by soundcheck ------------------------------------------------------------------------ soundcheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88724 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
