Re: [slim] Announcing SqueezePad - the first dedicated iPad App to controll your SqueezeBoxen !
IMO, your current feature set doesn't warrant the new $9.99 price. I'd rather continue running iPeng on the iPad as a controller or just use my iPhone. At, $5.99 I was willing to give it a go once authentication support was implemented. Now I'm just one customer but I thought I'd let you know my thoughts on the pricing in a friendly manner.

Re: [slim] iPeng on iPad - How should it look like?
Bringing up a page of album art like that would be way too slow. The speed squeezebox server can serve the art seems to be an issue. Just look at the art being populated when you bring up the 5 album under an artist using the current iPeng. You would have to wait 5 seconds for a page of art just load at the least. Performance should be the #1 goal, IMO. -- Jeff Flowerday Jeff Flowerday's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74581 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] [Announce] iPeng 1.2.5 now on the App Store
Would it be too much to add an option in the configuration to clear and repopulate the entire cache? I have a 7000 plus album library and would like the art completely cached for when I'm in 3G land. I use iPeng for reference when shopping and the uncached art is a little too slow loading via 3G. The library is too large to scroll through slowly on wifi to get the art to cache.

Re: [slim] How many of you have "spare" squeezeboxes?
I was thinking of buying a spare Touch. But, the newest version of JRemote for iPad looks really nice. I'll start playing with a dedicated little PC running J River Media Center again.

Re: [slim] Now the Squeezebox is dead, what would your next system be? And why?
I've been running J River on a dead silent Atom based PC. JRemote on the iPad to control it. Really happy with the results, only missing feature for me is playlist management from JRemote. A limitation of the J River web service apparently.

Re: [slim] softsqueeze 3.5 slimserver 7.0.1 WMA lossless
I don't think your NAS has enough power to transcode so flac is your best lossless choice IMO. -- Jeff Flowerday Jeff Flowerday's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51208 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

You can then use it to rip your new stuff in both WMA Lossless and MP3. There is a plug in that automatically rips both formats at once. -- Jeff Flowerday Jeff Flowerday's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51208 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Flac On Ipod in Cars
I have to disagree that you can't tell the difference between 320vbr and lossless in Cars. It really depends on the car and the amount of road noise transferred to the cabin. My current cars factory head unit play wma lossles native off a USB key. I did a back to back comparison between lossless and 320kbps vbr and was actually surprised that I could hear a difference. My last car had DVD-A support and it was night day different than regular CDs. That said I couldn't tell the difference on my Zune or computer speakers. So as mentioned above the sub par DAC and headphone amp in iPods and such are more the limiting factor. -- Jeff Flowerday Jeff Flowerday's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53176 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
