Yes, iPeng works fine on an 8GB Touch. But please make sure it has iPod Touch Firmware 3.0 or later since that’s required by iPeng 1.2 which is the current version on the App Store.

I an considering purchasing the iPod Touch 8gb model. Will the app be suitable for this?

Last night I played around with the search much more. When connecting to SC, it doesn’t crash iPeng when going back to the search screen. However, I did notice an issue with the “Radio” section search screen. If you try to search without having put any text in the search box (e.g., if you accidently hit the search button rather than the text box to bring up the keyboard), it says “no search query specified”. That is exected. But it continues to sayt that even after you correct the mistake and do put text in the search text box. It will continue to result in that message every time you try to search, with or without text present. To clear it up, you have to either exit out of iPeng or go to a different radio service (e.g., Pandora) and then back to Rhapsody. Let me know if you need anything else.

I just went home and tried it. It works fine.

Thanks for the tip about the “radio” section. One of the knocks against the Duet is that you have to switch from SC where your own music is stored to the SN where you have Rhapsody/Pandora/etc. With your app, I can have both in the same place and can create a list that has a mix of my music as well as music from online sources.

No, I mean if you are searching Rhapsody when connected to SqueezeCenter. The menu is a little bit different on SqueezeCenter and SqueezeNetwork. For example, you’ll find Rhapsody under “Radios” when connected to SqueezeCenter while it’s under “Services” while connected to SqueezeNetwork.
The two menus also use different code so I need to understand where exactly the issue arises.

Not sure I understand your question. Are you asking if the search issue is present when I search for something on Squeezecenter (i.e., searching through my iTunes library)? If so, I haven’t tried that but I can when I get home.

Good find.
Do you see this only through SqueezeNetwork (I’ve been able to reproduce it there, although not always) or also through SqueezeCenter (I haven’t been able to reproduce it there)?

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I’ll try.

Just got a Duet and iPeng. So far, I’m happy with both, especially the Ipeng which I find to be a better way to interact with the receiver.

The only problem I am having is this. I can go to Rhapsody and perform a search (album, artist, track–it does’t matter) and the content comes up just fine. I can play a track and then try to get back to the main search page to begin a different search. When I do, iPeng crashes. I can then peform another search but I have to start over from scratch by reconnecting to the squeeze network, selecting Rhapsody, search, etc.

Has anyone seen this? Is there a setting I missed that I need to change? Would the fact I am using the “free” one-month version of Rhapsody cause a problem?

Thanks. This is a near perfect application!
