I've been interested in Bubble but I don't own an Android tablet. I might invest in one, but before doing that I'd like to get a little more information. Perhaps David or someone else can help out.

The control point I use most often, PS Audio's eLyric (designed to work with my PS Audio dac), has one very useful feature not usually found elsewhere: it displays the top level of the browse tree at the left of the screen. This is helpful because when selecting music I often drill down four or five levels (e.g., composer - subgenre - composition - conductor). Some control points make me tap the 'Back' button four or five times to get back to the top, whereas with eLyric I can tap directly on a different composer, using the convenient tree at the left. Tapping that 'Back' button repeatedly gets annoying. How does this work with Bubble?

I take advantage of MinimServer's tag formatting capabilities to show the name of the conductor along with the orchestra. Some control points, such as Kinsky, display this as they should, while others just ignore it. Does Bubble implement this feature of MinimServer?

Finally, David mentions the lack of a good remote for foobar2000. I recently discovered MonkeyMote 4 foobar. I have it on my iPad and it seems quite decent, in the limited testing I've done -- I'm not sure if it's available for Android but it might be. Even though it's not my main player (that's MinimSever ), foobar is useful for various things and it's nice to have a remote.
