iSqueeze - Your Squeezebox deserves the best. Logitech Squeezeboxes. They're still the best multi-room audio system. Now they have a proper iOS remote. iSqueeze discovers your Music Server (Lyrion or Logitech Media Server) on your local network and gives you full control of every player in a modern, unique and sleek interface. What you get: • Real-time control of all your players: power, play/pause, volume, etc. • Browse your entire music library and favorites - tap a song, pick a player, done. • Macros - automations ; save your "morning jazz on the kitchen player at 30%" routine and replay it with one tap. • Alarms - set per-player wake-up alarms, pick your favorite station, choose your days. • Sleep timers - swipe to set, swipe to cancel. Fall asleep to music. • Sync group visualization - see which players are linked at a glance. • Multi-server support - switch between servers with a tap. • Drag to reorder and hide players you don't use or are mainly used by other family members. • Dark mode, because obviously. We allow unlimited testing of all the other features without ads or nag screens. However, maximum volume of the players is limited to 15% and can be unlocked by an in-app-purchase. (We allow family sharing of that purchase.) Creating and maintaining such an app costs hundreds of dollars per year so please support this product if you like it. This feature also helps you protect your device's aging speakers, so we recommend setting it at 50% after purchase, but it's your choice. No account required. No data collected. No internet needed. Squeezebox, Logitech, and Lyrion Music Server are trademarks of their respective owners.
