iPeng

This is a terrific, stable app. Being fairly new to Squeezebox with a lifetime subscription to Roon, I was nevertheless satisfied that Squeeze delivers superior sound quality co pared to Roon. But the interface and lack of metadata with LMS in my Safari browser was a strain to use. iPeng makes the playback experience very palatable, and while nothing close to Roon insofar as interface and music discovery is concerned, iPeng delivers the wondrous SQ of Squeeze in a nicely laid out GUI that provides a great experience. And the developer is awesome, responding quickly with a helpful solution to a small matter I’d addressed. So the excellent support earns big bonus points. I highly recommend this app for Squeeze lovers in the iOS ecosystem.

I recently set up a piCore Player with Allo Digione HAT, and I use iPeng exclusively to access my music library. Having never used Roon or anything similar, I have nothing to compare it to except itself. So far, it’s a joy to use. I was surprised to find that it displays additional data that I know didn’t come from the CD metadata. For example, you can find pull up individual tracks under the name of the artist who wrote them (example: search for Dan Wilson and you can pull up the songs he wrote for Adele). I can’t evaluate some of the deeper features, of which there appear to be many, because my needs are not complex. But suffice to say, I love the flexibility and ease of use, and hope the developer continues to support it for a long time to come.

In 2001 I purchased a Slim Devices, Inc Squeezebox 3 network music player. It was, and in my mind -- still is the perfect system to control my audio system. It is now 2019, and I am still listening to my enormous music collection of more than 3000 albums loaded on my server thanks to the fabulous work of the iPeng apps’ developer. My ancient Squeezebox 3 remote device still works, and my older iPads are scattered around my home providing additional remote feed of my music server over Wi-Fi to my multi-room audio systems. I can remote control all this music and select my playlists for each room using my iPhone. Through the years, the iPeng developer has kept up with all the advances of iOS and iPeng serves my music listening needs perfectly. Thank you for this excellent app!
