    [ANNOUNCE] It's all about knowing your music! SqueezePad 1.9.0 hits the App Store

    If you are like me, music is not only about the tunes, but also about bands and artists.
    Unfortunately always looking them up and learning about them is (was) a tedious task ... open the browser, surf to your favorite search engine, enter your keywords ... and if you want to look somewhere else start all over.

    Until now!
    SqueezePad 1.9.0 comes with an integrated browser ready to look up all relevant content about your currently playing song, artist or their album with a simple tap.

    You've never been faster looking up your music!
    SqueezePad comes with a wealth of pregenerated links to Wikipedia, Google, YouTube, Last.FM, AllMusic, Facebook and many more.
    You cannot miss the new browser feature - just use the new button below the playlist button to the right.

    A picture with a Google image search is attached, find more on my blog:

    Very cool! Took me a minute to figure out how to access this new function (it is a "globe" icon/tab just below the "playlist" tab on the right side of the screen).
    Location 1: VortexBox Appliance 6TB (2.2) > LMS 7.7.2 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet)
    Location 2: VBA 3TB (2.2) > LMS 7.7.2 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio)
    Office: Win7(64) > LMS 7.7.2 > SqueezePlay
    Spares: VBA 4TB, SB3, Touch (3), Radio (3), CONTROLLER
    Controllers: iPhone4S (iPeng), iPad2 (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.7 on Win7(64) laptop
    Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Tagging - mp3tag, Spotify

    Not if people keep on saying how much they like the new feature to keep me motivated for extending SqueezePad

    Nice idea, but the rendering of the web-pages results in a microscopic font and zooming\scrolling is a right pain!

    Can you not take the XML feed from Wikipedia then render it more sensibly using your own layout?

    You can do a 2 finger zoom, but I agree , browser inside apps tend get you this :-/ not readable right away must zoom directly, well with glasses on and squinting but it is headache inducing.
