People who think that it should work like a CD player should just get over it. We just need a solution to move around songs easily. Any reasonable solution is probably ok. seanadams;212683 Wrote: > Interesting - can you explain?

I'm not going to respond to this snide stuff. Point is that you are arguing from where the product is. If you wanted to, you could have designed it day one to support it. Perhaps that would involved more complex buffering and memory required to do it...and maybe GE instead of 10/100. But, you chose not to and now the product has a deficiency. If I knew how to code it myself, I would have built the product myself and wouldn't be on this forum now would I? I mean no offense Sean - you've built an awesome product. But, it has an unfortunate flaw that does drive me crazy...apparently there are others too. -- thomsens ------------------------------------------------------------------------ thomsens's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1352 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36446 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
