The main reason for wanting the buttons is that they also show which shuffle or repeat mode you are in. A controller or Touch shows that it is in track shuffle or one song repeat via the button icon . With your interface there is no immediate tell-tale that you are in shuffle mode . I usually use shuffle like this: cue up 3 to 10 album and then press shuffle and then unshuffles before I choose to listen a single album again, I regard this as a control like play or pause or volume not a setting. I also use this if I create playlists to add albums or songs and shuffle them before saving (OT note that SBS has a setting to save playlist shuffled or unshuffled ). So I use shuffle as a control -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
