I just tried 0.5 on my iPhone 3G and what a difference compared to 0.4 on iPod Touch.

The scrolling in the Now Playing screen is a lot smoother than the scrolling when you enter the different browse menus from the Home page. Is it possible to get the same smoothness also in the browse pages ? I suppose the smoothness requires the sub page to be already loaded, so it won't work for sub menus that needs a server request to retrieve its information ? pippin;319534 Wrote: > > * You dont need to do two finger scrolling to move around > content pages or the playlist.

I tried to load a large playlist and the Now Playing view basically never finish loading. It's not a big issues for me personally since I mostly use short playlists with a length of 10-20 tracks, but with a large playlist of several hundred tracks it doesn't work. I'm not sure if the same problem also exist in 0.4, but in 0.5 it is unusable with large playlists. Could this problem be related to the new features in 0.5 ? pippin;319534 Wrote: > > * In former iPeng versions, you could click on the volume bar to > select a volume. This was a bit inexact.

Sometimes I get the loading icon at the top and it just keeps loading a very long time. I'm pretty sure this isn't a iPeng problem though, because I sometime have exactly the same behavior in the standard web interface. I still feel it's the right way to try the native application path, but I'm really impressed in what you have done in the iPeng 0.5 release and it feels like we have got something very usable to use while waiting for the native application. Once again really, really great work. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49821
