Ever since I got my first SqueezeBox, I've wondered why Stop and Mute buttons were not provided on the remote, especially since there are three empty key spaces available on the remote. These just seem like very logical buttons to find on a remote control. Also, if they were simply overlooked, why were they not added when SqueezeBox2 was released?
I'm aware that Stop functionality can be invoked by pressing and holding the Pause key, but this is not "discoverable" (i.e. not without reading the documentation, anyway). I just bought a SqueezeBox2 for my dad and this is one of the usability issues that arose. Anyway, at least Stop can still be invoked from the remote in some fashion, but why is there no Mute button (i.e. to set the volume to zero and then back to the previous volume setting if pressed again)? I appreciate that in some situations Pause can be used, but it is not always desirable to pause the stream (e.g. when synched with another player or when listening to a live radio stream). There are some instances where you really just want the volume muted. Is there a mute function that can be mapped to remote? -- rds _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
