switching to Google Nexus One was easy, once I discovered SqueezeCommander to remote-control my SqueezeBox. For EUR 3,- it does everything iPeng does on the iPhone, including support for SqueezeBox apps & multi-player & -server-support. searching large libraries of music seems faster than on the iPhone. but the best thing: it can download single tracks [...]
as an avid Squeezebox-user, I’ve no idea how I could have missed this gem for so long: iPeng lets you use our iPhone to control your Squeezbox (or boxes, if you’ve several spread across the house). hands down the best way to browse a large local music-library or subscription-services napster & rhapsody [which of course [...]
