Best control point for Linn DS (iOS) - AdamWysokinski - 16-04-2014 18:16
Hi all,
I am looking for the best iOS control point for my setup (MinimServer + Linn DS).
What CP do you you in your setup? Currently I use Kinsky (least worse, IMO). I have tried PlugPlayer (not bad, but library panel is too narrow), Konduktor (very slow with large library), Songbook on Mac (too complicated), Lumin (not bad, but it repeatedly had problems when switching view option in the library).
I have not tried Songbook for iOS (no demo version) and new Linn CP (Kazoo).
Any recommendations?

I haven't found anything for iOS that's better than Kinsky.
Songbook Lite comes close, but I can't cope with the large letters that pop up when scrolling through a list of items.

for great looks, good funtionality, superb search and filter funktions and much more nothing beats LUMIN imho.
dont bother with Kazoo. its early beta and does not look too promising in its current state of affair.
bbrip

Unfortunately, Lumin search/filter does not work for me

Does anyone with Songbook Lite for iPad could take some screenshots of the program (especially of the library view)?

why not? what error msg do you get ?
RE: Best control point for Linn DS (iOS) - AdamWysokinski - 16-04-2014 18:41
No error here. It shows some tracks/albums, but the result does not make any sense and does not correspond with searched/filtered phrase.

??? Are you sure its not related to any typos in tagging or similar. It works absolutely flawless here.

Here you go. (This was actually the first time in many months I opened songbook
Its working ok, but it hasnt been supported since more than two years. So chances are that one day you will wake up and it no longer works....

What do you use instead? (I guess it's Lumin?)
