I think you also have to have a volume knob, especially for headphone listening. Same size as wheel. Both centered vertically on bezel. - The 'dot' on the wheel should be a larger, concave depression (not colored) so that you can easily roll it with a figertip. - Volume knob should have a small 'Volume' text label over top. It should have no 'dot', since the volume control will be digital. - Move left/right/plus buttons to the right of the wheel, so that thumb can roll wheel and left/right buttons could be operated by fingers. I'm assuming right-handed operation, as this would be easiest with the display to the left. - Order of knobs, wheels and buttons to the right of display: volume, thumbwheel, then buttons.
I'm not a fan of the minamalist approach. You'd almost need a remote in your hand to make this panel convenient. I'd suggest a minimal set of essential buttons. In addition to the '+' (Add) button I think the light blue buttons from the remote, 'Play', 'Pause', 'Fwd', and 'Rwd' are necessary. It should be comparable to the controls on the typical CD player, plus the navigation controls. No 'Eject' button necessary. :-) -- JJZolx Jim _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
