>It is a matter of preference... but how many times and how many buttons >did you have to press to get to Pink Floyd? > Well, most of the time I use the web interface to set up a few albums to play, or I use my PDA from the lounge coffee table. When I haven't got the PDA nearby, I tend to just select something at random, eg. maybe use random play. If I want something specific, I use search/lazy search.
The standard remote is perfectly adequate for everything I use it for, which has the added benefit that it is small, lightweight, reliable and the batteries last ages. Perfect for the limited space I have on my bedside table; not as much of a concern for the lounge though. >I do not have to look at the remote control to do this. I just keep an eye on >the SB.

I don't own any standard remotes like that. Most have a similar layout to the squeezebox one. >Design studies show that >people feel more confortable controlling dials (wheels) than rocking >buttons. Choosing a song with the SB, for me, should be just like >tuning a radio to the right radio station. Again, to each its own. I thought that most studios have slider bars for volumes, etc. Then you can see their relative position, whereas with a jog wheel, you need some additional feedback to show you where you are at. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
