Thanks Julf, at £8.99 for teh app I didnt want to get something that didnt work. Cheers.
iPeng is good, a little bit head scratching to get around initially but easy once you get the hang of it.
I cannot help but feel time is nearly up for good ol' squeezebox.
You can tag against multiple artists by defining in LMS a separator for use within the artist tag. Then you can arrive at the music via any of them. Very, very handy in general.I upgraded from an old version of iPeng to the latest a few months ago. Now having ‘Composer’ as a search category has been worth the cost on its own. Previously for classical music I had to put the composer under ‘Artist’ but now I can save that tag for the conductor/orchestra or soloist.
Likewise...it's now a completely open source and open platform solution, LMS is a great integration point for your local files and streaming servicesThough I employ my SB Touch for Roon now, I still run a Pi3 and Screen with LMS. I use Picoreplayer and Jivelite. It works beautifully. I came to SB quite late so I was incredibly disappointed when they Logitech discontinued the products shortly afterwards. But I’m constantly amazed by the continued support that the Squeezebox gives to prolonging the life of LMS. The recent Spotify rescue and other fantastic plug underline the intent of the community. I believe LMS will continue to evolve and the new wave of hardware will allow the this. I don’t see an end at this time
...doh! I did, I use them too...unfortunately I had test match special on this morning!!! :-(...and don’t forget iPlayer radio (home and abroad), Radio Paradise in FLAC...
As long as Michael Herger is around to keep the Squeezebox ecosystem running, it's still a highly viable platform. I think the main worry would be if he gave up and no-one else was able to take over...
...and the 'Spotty' plugin?Even without mherger, all we would lose is the mysqueezebox service. Not a major loss. The rest of the ecosystem would be OK.
