My wife has one of those, but she just runs it stock. I'm sure the experience would be similar, though. Lots of good small tablets out there that make for nice, large, touchscreen remotes. :cool:anonymouse wrote: »Done the same thing with a Nook Color. -
iPad using JRemote, once you set up SB as J. River Zone.For Sale 2019:
Tortuga Audio LDR passive preamp
Decware EL34 amp

We use an iPad running iPeng and it's our favorite method of controlling the SB, we prefer it over the standard SB app which I don't like.

I really don't understand how you could want anything more than what iPeng gives you. Saturday I will be having a party on my deck for 75 people. I will have my outdoor speakers that are on one side of my deck playing my Squeezebox Classic through my whole-house system. For the other side of the deck to hear those speakers, I'd need to crank them pretty loud. Instead, I'll have my two Squeezebox Radios, battery powered, sat in different areas of the deck, along with my Squeezebox Boom plugged into an outdoor outlet. This way, I can keep the volume down on each device enough so that I have nice background music without interfering with people trying to have a conversation. From my iPhone, from my deck, I'll be able to sync the four devices together, and control the playlist from outside. I've had parties like this before, and basically blow people's minds. Combine that with the fact that iPeng can also turn the iPhone into a Squeezebox player, and an open port on your router allows you to do that anywhere you have cell phone signal, is about as great a Squeezebox remote as I could even dream up. So I have my iPhone plugged into my car stereo, and can stream my 3000+ cd's worth of flacs to my car from anywhere.Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

wow I just use the SB remote you get from Logitech.. i didn't know I peng had that streaming capability.. maybe be something i'll have to check out...Main 2ch -

Denon 3500 -> Dynaudio Excite 32/22 -
Even without the streaming capability, iPeng is really good. But when it becomes a Squeezebox in your car, it is awesome.Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

Never mind. Figured it out.
I feel silly for not having tried to figure this out before.
This is awesome. Much easier to use compared to the duet 'stick'.2 ChannelTurntable - VPI Classic 2/Ortofon 2M BlueAmplification - Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II, Parks Audio Budgie PhonoSpeakers - GoldenEar Triton 17.2 Home TheaterDenon AVR-X3300W; Rotel RMB-1066; Klipsch RP-280F's, Klipsch RP-450C, Polk FXi3's, Polk RC60i; Dual SVS PB 2000's; BenQ HT2050; Elite Screens 120"Man CaveTurntable - Pro-Ject 2.9 Wood/Grado GoldAmplification - Dared SL2000a, McCormack DNA 0.5 DeluxeCD: Cambridge AudioSpeakers - Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary; LSiM 703; SDA 2A -
Yep, makes that thing obsolete!This is awesome. Much easier to use compared to the duet 'stick'. -
Yeah, I've even used my old iPhone as a player for a zone in my bedroom - 1/8" to RCA from headphone jack to my bedroom mini-system. Not a real hifi setup, but it's functional and sounds all right nonetheless!I really don't understand how you could want anything more than what iPeng gives you.

I have iPeng on my iPhone and iPad. This sounds great. Could someone provide or direct me to detailed instructions.

There is an in-app purchase that allows you to use iPeng as a player, it costs a few bucks more. Do the purchase on one of the devices, and then you can activate it on the second, you don't need to purchase it twice.Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing.
