So squeezepad is useless. Dommage ### 5/5 — Almost perfect *2023-06-04, version 1.11.6* The only thing I don’t like is the landscape-mode only thing. Its annoying not to be able to use this app in portrait-mode. ### 5/5 — Simply the best for controlling music files *2022-08-03, version 1.11.6* A great reliable app which I’ve used since the original a Squeezebox touch came out and both are still delivering trouble free use every day. The interface is very intuitive and user friendly but you can get into the guts of the program as well if you have that knowledge. I have 800 plus cds saved in lossless WAV format stored in my pc HDD and also backed up on external WD drives as well. I regularly add new music to it and it is simple and quick to update the database. Well done everyone who works or worked on this app. You known your stuff! ### 4/5 — Funktioniert! *2022-07-08, version 1.11.6* Ich habe einen LMS Version 8.x auf einem Raspberry Pi mit Max2Play am laufen. Die Integration mit Squeezepad als Steuerzentrale funktioniert reibungslos. Schade ist dennoch, dass der letzte Update zwischenzeitlich 4 Jahre alt ist. Ebenso ist die Webseite des Entwicklers outdated. Deshalb 1 Stern Abzug. ### 5/5 — Genial gemacht *2022-05-31, version 1.11.6* Die perfekte Ergänzung zu meinem Transporter. Ich würde sie sofort noch einmal kaufen. Funktioniert tadellos ### 5/5 — Rock Solid *2022-02-26, version 1.11.6* The best squeeebox remote I have used. It’s intuitive,quick and rock solid. I was pleasantly surprised by the local play option which allows me to stream directly to my headphones or Bluetooth speaker when I’m out in the garden. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Brilliant!!! *2021-01-25, version 1.11.6* This is such a great tool for managing squeezebox kit - both playing music on the devices and for managing music. The initial setup was so easy, I thought I missed some bits only to find SqueezePad was ready to operate both my SB Touch and my SB Classic. Menus, selections, access to play lists, one-touch access to web info on the artist - all put together that it is all kinda obvious; no need for help or manuals. SqueezePad beats Squeezebox web based interface for music and settings management. The end result is tha I control both players from central station and I now have an iPad sized graphic interface for my Squeezebox Classic - a great coffee-table addition that is so much better than universal remote. After about six months of use I still can't find anything to complain about. Love it. ### 5/5 — Gefällt mir besser als iPeng *2020-12-22, version 1.11.6* Die Bedienung fühlt sich für mich intuitiver an. Als großes Plus ggü. iPeng empfinde ich die Tatsache, dass die Online-Musikdienste (mit dem entsprechenden Plugin des LMS) direkt in meine Bibliothek integriert werden, d.h. ich kann einen Interpreten auswählen und wähle ein Album, egal ob von meinem NAS oder Online. ### 5/5 — The perfect controller for Squeezebox *2020-09-12, version 1.11.6* I’ve used SqueezePad frequently for many years. It’s a fantastic interface for Squeezebox music playback. It’s able to manage multiple Squeezebox devices and it thoroughly supports Squeezebox interface capabilities. SqueezePad will also emulate a Squeezebox device and will play music thru iPad speakers. If you’re using Squeezebox / Logitech Music Server, this is a must have app. ### 5/5 — The better option *2020-07-14, version 1.11.6* Easier layout and much simpler to use than the “other app”, yet provides more. ## Frequently asked questions about SqueezePad ### What does SqueezePad do?
