Hi Erland,
Thanks - will try. In the standard skin for SC7 on my Mac it just shows
up "on its own", when browsing artists with CustomBrowse.

I know I have written that I am not a big artwork buff :-)
But since I got to use iPeng on a Mac (not only on the Touch), I have
found it so extremely fast that the graphics are no longer "annoying
waitingtime", but instead are contributing to a good user experience.

OK, understood.
That part of the code was in a branch not used by the internal code.
You are correct, the track ID should be used and actually in the cases
where no album id was known (e.h. search and playlist views) that was
already happening. Didn't see this case before.
Fixed.

Sorry to butt into your conversation; I haven't really been following it, but

Generally it is true that artwork for every song on an album would be the same.
However, this is not necessarily true for multi-disc albums (each disc could

If you want to try it, exchange the "cmdwrappers" file of a 0.3.9 (!
probably won't work on 0.3.8) installation with the one attached.
I could not try this with MusicIP (don't have it), so it would be nice
if somebody could try it for me.

Ok. That looks a lot like the bug that also keeps some of the " All

Hi Erland,
I have now gotten more used to CustomBrowse and I see a use for more
and more of the functionality.
One thing - when I make a music mix using custom browse, then the very

Sune,
No problem, but I guessed something like that.
It happens to people that are more familiar with SqueezeCenter than

Going for an artist, let me get the proper procedure for playing

It's great with this quick ping-pong. It makes it fun to give feedback
in a forum - I almost feel like I participate in the development,
although all I do is whine ;-)
Anyway - one thing caught my eye here:
There is no standard "play" buttom in the iPeng setup, you say? There
definately should

iPeng is in general a bit slow, but I suspect the iPod Touch browser to

However, where I really notice this is with CustomBrowse. Wonder why -
perhaps it's the rendering of the long menus (some takes forever to
scroll through). I have 1000+ albums and approx. as many artists..

Hi all,
I know this may be hidden somewhere in the extensive documentation for

my iPod Touch, everything works as expected.
But...how do I get the generated mix to play
