I picked up a 64gb Playbook very cheaply on the promise they will get
the upgrade to BB10 this year.
Anyhow, in the meantime it's doing duty as a Squeezebox controller and I
installed Music2Touch.
Main problem I have is that with approx. 6500 albums, the albums display
takes way, way too long to

Great app I use it all the time. One issue, though, is that the power

does not indicate the current state. You cannot tell by looking at it
whether the device is on or off. If the device is off and you push the

Ok, getting back to the performance issues mentioned above I have a bit

market.
