Poll - Do you actually use the touch screen?

**p-cubed** · 2011-01-30, 21:33

In my headphone rig, I use the touchscreen constantly. Very convenient as I am sitting right next to it and have it positioned comfortably.

In my main living room system, I primarily use iPeng, and occasionally use the touchscreen.

I use the Touch screen more than other ways, some iPeng on an iPod Touch. I use TinySBS, and am still actively ripping CD collection. Therefore still a fair amount of monkeying around disconnecting direct USB disk, loading more files, etc.
Many times I walk to my stereo setup, turn on receiver, and select a playlist or internet stream.
I also think the touch screen is much more versatile for many different operations than an assortment of hardware buttons and switches would be.

Indeed, as do I many times.
But in my Touch usage it is often not convenient nor desired to have a computer present for basic Touch operation, then the on-board keyboard is quite handy and very useful.

Depending on my position and circumstances I will either use the touch screen, Squeezeplay on my laptop or SlimCtrl on my mobile.
Both Squeezeplay and SlimCtrl give me a good close up view of what is playing from normal listening position.

I only use the touch screen occasionally. Usually just to control Boom player - turn unit on/off or pause/play.

Touch is sitting on my desk next to PC, used as a controller for my Boom in the same room, on a high shelf.

The Touch interface is a bit annoying:
- Single scrollable list view (home menu), that is not very customisable.
- Touch to play on tracks frequently catches me out.
- Often get stuck in a menu, requiring a reboot.
- Now Playing screen is a bit annoying, with inconsistencies to my other player UI's (eg. displaying Album Artist name for non-compilation tracks is wrong).

So I predominantly use the WebUI, when I'm at the desk.
In the lounge on the sofa, I use iPeng.

I find Bedroom SB3 with IR remote much more functional, especially as an alarm clock.

I have never used the Touch screen because I do not want fingerprints. My family members do not even know that a Touch screen is an option. We only use IR remote or the one and only incomparable IPENG.

It is good at telling time, other than that I do not use the touch feature

My 2.5yr old toddler uses it all the time, because he can't read, but
knows great things happen when he touches his favorite icons :-).

Mostly use my 7" Android tablet using Squeeze Comander app. Ocassional use Touch or remote control when not using the tablet.

Never. Have all TT3.0 mods enabled, except vollock. I use my iPad with SqueezePad and iPeng.
