I'm coming from Squeeze Commander, that stopped working on the latest Android. All in Artist -> Album sorting does not work well. I chose "Artist, Year, Album", but the order is pretty much random. I'd like to see an option to display the album year. Link audio only adjusts audio of one (of my 8) boxes that are in the same synchronisation group. Not all of them, proving it quite cumbersome to adjust all my players.

Still need the original Squeeze Box remote for some settings & occasional Server re-installs but I've used Orange Squeeze exclusively for playback for several years. Works perfectly for my purposes! Stable, with no issues.

Overall a rather nice app, with neat features such as the ability to straight to an artist's albums by tapping the artist name in the Now Playing screen, instead of having to browse the library again. Other layouts are somewhat messy compared to Squeezer, for example how metadata from external sources, such as Bandcamp, are displayed. Ultimately I'd prefer a Material design look, instead of sticking to the now rather dated Squeezebox look. Solid app though, great with LMS + piCorePlayer + DAC.

This is a good app, but one feature missing that some alternatives have is an ability to drag and drop to adjust the now playing playlist. You can easily slide tracks off to delete but nothing to move them around. Most everything else is perfect though.

One of the features I liked most about the app is that an icon would appear AND remain in the notification area, so you could easily see what was playing, and access the full app. Then there was an update, and this feature, while "available", no longer worked. I reported it weeks ago, dev acknowledged it, and then nothing.

Nice app, pleasant to use on Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact with Android 9. Except for strange behaviour with 'Play Next' (track gets played next-but-one, and can't be reordered), 'Add to Playlist' (if current playlist contains a single track, playback stops after current track instead of playing added track), and 'Remove from playlist' (track still gets played). Using app to control an Innuos Zenith streamer - Innuos say it is their preferred Android remote app.

About this app

Orange Squeeze: Your fast, friendly remote control for your Logitech Squeezebox family of devices.

Orange Squeeze automatically discovers and connects to your local Logitech Media Server (formerly Squeezebox Server) over WiFi.

November 2022 -- 2.6 released (based on Open Squeeze) with support for Android 13 and new Material Design 3 components. As always a free upgrade!
April 2020 -- 2.5 released with dark light theme and all new icons.
July 2017 -- 2.1.5 -- Added support for Android versions up to 8.0. This enables mysqueezebox.com support on Android 6.0+, which was missing until now.

- Full tablet support with fluid grid-style browsing that accentuates your beautiful artwork. Configure how large you want your grids to be, or if you you can choose to revert back to traditional list-style browsing.
- New UI based on the standard Android action bar and navigation drawer patterns. Your home menu and player list are just a swipe away at any time!
- New artist artwork generation technique using a more traditional grid instead of the overlapping cards model in the past.
- The current playlist view is updated to include some nice gestures, such as swipe-to-remove and also long-press to reorder. Overall the current playlist view is faster and more robust than before.
- Orange Squeeze will now broadcast track and player metadata, allowing consumption of track and player metadata by third-party apps.
- New track download backend that works around some issues with the previous one based on the Android download manager.

Fast browsing available immediately with no waiting for scans or database synchronization. Full search capabilities coupled with an intuitive and seamless interface make listening to music on your Squeezeboxen fun and convenient. Advanced caching heuristics make for a smooth, seamless experience.

Fully integrated and tested with Pandora, Spotify, and other online services available on your Squeezebox.

Other features:
- Can automatically mute players when a phone call is received, and optionally unmute them after you hang up.
- Use your phone's volume keys to control your player volume.
- Helpful user interface that introduces you to advanced features progressively.
- Drag and drop playlist and menu management for easy customization
- Works with password-protected servers.
- Synchronization, player sleep, and alarm support
- Clean, seamless integration with SqueezePlayer. Note that this requires the separate purchase of the SqueezePlayer app.

A brief discussion of some of the permissions Orange Squeeze requires:

The permission "READ PHONE STATUS AND IDENTITY" is used strictly to detect when calls are made or received so that automatic player muting will work.

The permission "MODIFY OR DELETE THE CONTENTS OF YOUR USB STORAGE MODIFY OR DELETE THE CONTENTS OF YOUR SD CARD" allows the app to download tracks to your external storage and also place the application's artwork cache on the external storage.

The permission "FULL NETWORK ACCESS" allows the app to connect to either mysqueezebox.com or your local Logitech Media Server installation.
