If it is hard for some formats, then it could have been disabled for those formats. I still see it as removal of functionality that previously worked fine, and for me made the whole fast-foward functionality mainly useless. It's why I now use an iPod Nano connected to line-in on a Boom box. Other functionality, such as syncing music playback over multiple players was/is quite complicated to get right too, but that functionality wasn't dropped. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
