On the artwork: could you point me to a station where this happens. I'll have to check whether it's another one of these things that behave differently when using the documented player status (as iPeng does) or the undocumented one Logitech themselves use. I plan to switch but it's a big change and I'm a bit afraid of braking some backwards compatibility.
If it's not that but the App is pulling the artwork from the net: see the comments below... On the layout: yes, I've seen that and I'm a little bit jealous because it's pretty similar to how I've been planning things for the iPeng redesign already for a while and for Lyrics, iPeng for iPad has already been doing something similar for quite a while now. That said (and this is the comment I mentioned above): I don't know where they get their information (Lyrics, Bios) from and if it's Squeezebox Server plugins (Biography, SongInfo/SongLyrics) it's similar to what I plan in iPeng. If they pull it directly off the internet, it's not something I can do. There are no viable Lyrics sites with a global license I am aware off (yes, there is MusiXmatch but they ask >20.000$ a year which I can't afford in iPeng). And for artist info/artwork there is Last.fm but they don't allow commercial use (I read some comment somewhere that they even refused Logitech to use it, even though Logitech does obviously have an agreement with them). The problem here is that Last.fm have to license this information themselves and there will be restrictions to that. Now just using this kind of stuff in a free plugin or privately is one thing, doing it from an App Store App is something different, to be precise it's something for which your App gets thrown out of the store (haprrens frequently, I have at least half a dozen Lyrics Apps that subsequently got pulled), if you're in bad luck they even decide it's copyright violation and throw you out as a developer. Not something I'm going to take a chance on. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
