I believe my Squeeze server has reverted to the Material browser that existed prior to Antipodes making some enhancements of their own. I’ve been trying to avoid restarting Squeeze server for fear it will change back. While I very much appreciate what Antipodes was aiming for with their enhancements, I think Material had evolved to be the best music player that’s not named Roon.
From a UX design perspective, Material does a fantastic job of filling the screen on a mobile phone. Pretty much anything you would want to get to is accessible with a single tap from this page.
It’s even better on an iPad as there is no need to bounce off the following page unless one wants to visit the settings. The Antipodes modifications ended up displaying on my iPad pretty much what one sees on an iPhone (above) but with four icons at the bottom to switch between browse, playing, queue and info. As I said, I appreciate the great intentions, but that was really a big step back in usability on an iPad. I would pay extra to get be able to keep the view that follows.
