◆◆◆ SqueezePad is … FAST! ◆◆◆
- instant player selection: a simple touch on the player in the top left shows an instant popup menu. Experience how fast player switching can really be.
- cached menus and album art: when you browse the artist or albums menu, their content (with images) is saved. On every subsequent visit the lists are instantly available until the next rescan automatically invalidates the cache.
- preloaded playlist: a big chunk of your playlist is preloaded and available on the right hand side of the screen. No waiting times when you want to take a peek at the future songs.
- instant alphabetical index and smooth scrolling: the alphabetical index updates the album and artist list already when you just drag your finger over it.
- shortcuts to most used functions: on the bottom bar you have buttons for artist, albums, internet radio and favorites menu. Also common playlist function have their own buttons.
◆◆◆ SqueezePad is … SMOOTH! ◆◆◆
- awesome looks: obvious when you look at the screenshots
- smooth transitions and animations: As to be expected from a real iPad App, SqueezePad supports menu transitions and smooth scrolling.
- volume + progress popups: when changing volume or progress of a song, you get popups telling you the actual values. So stop guessing your desired values today!
- drag+drop for playlist entries: playlist entries can be reordered with drag and drop. A quick swipe shows a delete button.
- screensaver mode: Tap the big cover-art and SqueezePad switches to a screensaver mode working in portrait and landscape orientation. Now you get even bigger cover art on your iPad. This makes SqueezePad a great information screen for your next party.
◆◆◆ SqueezePad has … PLAYBACK! * ◆◆◆
- stream music to your iPad: now your iPad becomes a small player on its own, and is able to stream your local music or internet radio stations. You’ll find this feature as an in app purchase in the players menu.
- many supported formats: SqueezePad has native suport for mp3, FLAC, aac, alac, wav, aiff, pcm. With the help of your Squeezebox Server you can also stream OGG-files to your iPad (it will convert them automatically to either WAV or MP3). If your Squeezebox Server runs on a Windows machine, even WMA-files are supported!
- gapless playback and synchronization: SqueezePad will preload the next song in the playlist, so that it will start without any delay. Also the full synchronization protocol of the Squeezeboxes are implemented.
- many supported Apps: Last.FM, Deezer or WiMP are supported out of the box.

Almost perfect
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.

The perfect controller for Squeezebox
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.
