Re: [slim] Announcing SqueezePad - the first dedicated iPad App to controll your SqueezeBoxen !
Been happily using SqueezePad for quite a few years now. I sincerely hope this is not abandoned. :) Here are some app feedbacks, I hope its not too late. P0[/B]: NONE, THIS IS AN EXTREMELY INTUITIVE, WELL DESIGNED APP, AND NO LEARNING CURVE IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH SQUEEZEBOX/LMS. I ENJOY USING THIS A LOT! [B]P1: UNNECESSARY VOLUME ADJUSTMENTS DURING PAUSE/RESUME WHEN PLAYING BACK ON IPAD. When using the ipad itself as playback device, SqueezePad goes through this routine of lowering the volume to 0 on pause, and tries to restore it on playback. This is not necessary. Pause/resume should be a simple toggle with no change to volume. This is how most music apps works, and generally what people expect. The issue is the volume restore during resume doesnt work most of the time, and I have to manually increase the volume to what it was before. This lessens the enjoyment of using the app. P1: KEEP CURRENT DEVICE (AKA LAST DEVICE IN USE) WHEN APP IS OPENED AGAIN. When I open SqueezePad again after a period of inactivity, it first shows the last device that was active (for example, the iPad player), this is good! But, within a few seconds, it refreshes the devices list from LMS, and changes the device to the first one in that list (ie, not the last device anymore). To continue operating on my last device, I have to explicitly select the device again. It would be better if after getting the new device list from LMS, it doesnt select the first one, but re-select the current/last device in use. P1: CLOSE PLAYLIST VIEW WHEN TAPPING ON OTHER PART OF THE SCREEN. When the playlist side window is open (by tapping the tab on the right edge of the screen), you can interface with the playlist, great! But, if you tap anywhere else not in the playlist pane, the underlying page gets the tap, and changes to full screen view (and hiding the playlist). One has to tape the home button at the top edge to return back to previous page. This is not optimal. It would be very natural to tap somewhere else on the screen to close the playlist pane. The current behavior also means, the only way to close the playlist view is by tapping the small playlist tab again. This again lessens the enjoyment of using the app. I think all of these are pretty simple changes, for the author. ;) Anyone know if he is still active on this forum? wildgoose's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23501 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80553 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Try a few test albums with true peak on and off and see what difference it makes.

[slim] Replay Gain - do i need True Peak Scanning
until now i haven't used Replay Gain, because was never an issue with my setup, now i've added a music system into the mix, which might benefit from it. So i've tried to learn about the ins and outs of RG. I'm using foobar on flac files As i have 24bit flacs, the "downsample high res" option in foobar seems ok. But i haven't found a clear and for me understandable explanation if i should use "true peak" scanning. I have mostly Jazz and Pop/Rock albums and absolutely no clipping loudness war bullshit hit albums As my RG scanning would take 11 hours without and 2 days with true peak, i'm asking here if i need it. At the end the RG will run in a Non-HiFi environment on a Non-Hifi rig.. mamema's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44662 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114293 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
