Squeezeplay does not need mysqueezebox.com. It is possible to configure it without a connection to the internet. There is a way to back out when it attempts to access mysqueezebox.com, just like you do on the SB players. If my memory serves me right, I believe you can back out by pressing the left

In terms of functionality, yes, more or less. The comparability of the sound quality would depend in large part on the receiver, including its DAC. And of course, the iTouch's max capacity of 64GB translates into maybe 200 - 250 albums in ALAC, so even people like me with a modest music librar

Oh, but "in the backgound" on an iPad 1 is really normal, that's not a crash. Apps get killed in the background by the OS if the OS needs their memory. And iPad 1 is _really_ short on RAM, that's also why there is no iOS 6 for it. It has as much Ram as an iPhone 3GS but needs to process 2.5 times
