Hi David

On the IOS front that would be me with Kinsky. At least I get to use my tagging, Kazoo well the noise is appropriate.

Thanks for your support.

I take the point about Kinsky (which I use pretty much daily on my PCs). I had forgotten that the iOS implementation has features other implementations lack (including UPnP Search, if memory serves); the Android version also has a playlist editing mode which is, frankly, a bit of an unfinished mess. But what now makes Kinsky not 'fully satisfactory' is that it is obsolescent, and all the development work is presumably going into Kazoo.

Apart from that somewhat important point, what makes Bubble DS/UPnP the front runner for me on Android is the way in which the simple and logical user interface becomes so intuitive with regular use, and seems to bring the right controls to hand when you need them. Kinsky is OK (and quite nice to look at), but it isn't really in the same league.
