Thanks for the quick reply about the album art.

I decided to investigate a bit more carefully - And then I discovered the "Scale cover to fit" option in the settings. I had never noticed this before !!!

Everything now looks great :-)

I think my "problem" is that because I am using a Nexus10 which has a lot of pixels, any jpg that is something like 700x700 looks relatively small and I was used to Kinsky automatically scaling.

Cheers! I broke it already - on source selection (not in Settings) I long-held Klimax Kontrol to see if the hide option came up. I realise now it's not available in that context but whenever I tried to switch back to Klimax DS the app crashed - you probably got a few crash reports. Reinstalled app to fix.

Oh, I also notice that after marking a library or renderer hidden they still appear but with [Hidden] after their name in the list! Not sure of this is intentional.

Ok, I got the crash report

This is intentional. To effectively hide the devices marked as hidden you must select Menu > Filter > Not hidden

Hi, I appreciate the new cloud streaming cappability. How about streaming from Spotify or Napster from Android devices to DS? Thanks Bernd

Not possible because all these companies (Spotify, Rdio, mog, etc) offering streaming subscription services are UPnP unfriendly. They hate the fact that UPnP allows to play stuff on a multitude of different networked devices.

In short, you are locked to whatever tools they provide to play stuff, or you must use something like Songcast or Virtual sound card on a PC (Jamcast, Asset UPnP) which is totally independent and capture audio.

Songcast-like or Virtual Soundcard functionality is not possible on Android because there's no way to capture the music stream played by other apps.
