About Orange Squeeze

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, or the mysqueezebox.com web site.

November 2013 -- New in 2.0 -- Compatible with KitKat -- Free upgrade!!!
- 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, Mog, 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 huge thank you to everyone who helped test this release via Orange Squeeze Preview!

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.

Tested in-house on the original Google Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 5, and Nexus 7 (2012). Supported on all Android devices running 2.2 and higher.

This app works pretty great. Among the many cool features, I especially like the "Artist Art" feature, which combines multiple album covers of the same artist into one "mashup" used in artist view. However, the current implementation computes this mashup only once and may become inaccurate when using library views: a specific album might not belong to the current view (e.g. not a favourite album) but its cover occurs in the mashup. View dependent mashups would be *****

I turn my squeezebox on, control it with my phone and everything is great. When I want to change song, I always get 'no squeezebox on network' message. Very annoying for what could be a really use able app. Please resolve.

A70%
by A####:

Used to be the best Squeeze remote available but now playing status stops updating and with only volume control continuing to work. Need to force close and re-open all the time to reconnect and refresh player data. No response from support.

Used to be good. Unfortunately it does not play well with Marshmallow update. (S5 Active) Can't switch to squeezebox.com... Looks like the app has been stagnant since Oct 2015. Developer's website stagnant since then too. No response for support. Do your diligence before paying for this one.

Have used and loved this app for many years now. I would love to see an mp3 player with the same interface for my smartphone

After below bad remark. Now get even worse. Now can't even rip English CD. All come out nothing. 1 out of 10 RIP ONLY. SUCK. SUCK SUCK. This is the worst innuos zen mini mk2 SERVER & Orange sequeeze I ever come across. Test CD on computer ok. I'm sequencing my ball now. DON'T BUY. DON'T BUY. DON'T BUY. if you want to rip chinese CD. More than 65% CAN'T RIPE. Even some of English CD also can't rip. (Innuos zen mini mk2 & Orange sequeeze app). Very frustrating. Can't delete or edit. Totally no control with your purchase. 100% telling you they are the Boss, You just pay money stupid. THEY control. Please Allow customers to key in the songs or titles, then your music data will grow very fast, like iTunes.

From 5 stars down to 3 as it can be a little frustrating to use now. Keeps losing the connection to server and needs to be restarted, this is since Marshmallow and problem still there on Nougat. Such a shame as it used to be so impressive. I'm off to research alternatives and would recommend that potential buyers be cautious about paying for this now. Edit. Now down to 2 stars. Currently using Squeeze Commander instead- stable connection and an easy transition from Orange. Will leave Orange installed for now in case the developer issues an update. Cannot recommend this product and am only refraining from dropping it to 1 star as it used to be so good.

Used to be very good. After android 6.0. It is inoperable. Development stopped years ago. Shame...

I used this app for years without issues. Unfortunately it doesn't work well on Marshmallow (Huawei P9). Please solve!

How do I stop pandora playing each time I search?? Can someone answer my question?

P70%
by P####:

Brilliant! I wish I'd found this years ago - a very fast and convenient way to control my Logitech Media Server and attached Squeezeboxes! Lovely user interface - did I say it is very fast already? - which just transforms the use of the whole networked system! Recommended!

Q70%
by Q####:

Nice app but could do with a few different themes, a light theme would be nice and a rethink on the scroll bar would be good as I keep selecting the players menu when I try to scroll down with it. Overall I'm pleased with my purchase.

R70%
by R####:

Randomly says no player connected to squeeze network if I'm just playing my Boom by itself. Seems a bit more reliable if I am running my squeezebox server. Neither this app or Squeeze Commander have functioned properly since Android 6 Marshmallow on my Nexus 7 (2013). And neither developer seems to care.

N70%
by N####:

Is there an update coming sometime? I would like an option to have a preferred active player that Orange connects to once it is started.

Way more useful and functional. Hats off to the dev.

The now outdated preview version shows a very promising new user interface. I hope it will be still improved and soon ported to the stable version.

Can we get some updates? Would love a tablet view and maybe a few more widgets. Thanks! :) *update* still loving this app! They have been doing a great job. My next request would be for an android tv interface. I have a zoned audio setup via lms and it would be nice to control over my android tv. *crosses fingers*

Please allow Chromecast Audio to be a player! I've used this for years. Love the interface. And I'd love to have all these devices talking to each other.

I use this every day at home then out on the road with squeezeplayer connected remotely to the server so I have all my music on the go. Best and my most favorite app

I've tried other controllers, but this seems to suit my needs. I would of given a 5 star review if I could share to this app from other players.

I wish I had discovered this app sooner, far better than the old Logitech app. Thanks to the developer for taking care of us Squeezebox owners.

Z70%
by Z####:

Best Squeezebox app I've ever used. I've been using Squeezeboxes since the Squeezebox 2 came out something like 10 years ago and now have 4 devices. I've tried many Squeezebox controller apps for Android and some were OK, but all with limitations or problems. I always ignored this app because it costs money with no option for a free preview, but finally decided to give it a go and am kicking myself for never trying it before. It just works. Simple easy to use interface. Very smooth. Works fine with the LMS 7.9 server beta (which some other Android apps have issues with). Works well with Spotify (Triode plugin), including Spotify radio and album art working fine as well. Thanks very much to the developer. This is a great app. (good choice of mountain bikes as well ;)

THIRD update: I've been using orange squeeze for three years now and it just gets better and better. Active development, absolutely fantastically slick and intuitive UI, and faster and more responsive than ever. The space available here won't let me describe how awesome this app is. If you own squeezeboxes, you will love this.
